One problem existed though - she knew nothing about apartment wrestling. "I really wasn't prepared for the physical and mental toughness I would need to compete in ACW. Although I wasn't afraid of the other women, they just outsmarted me a lot, and then taking advantage of this, were able to overpower me." After losing 21 matches in a row, Dixie sought help from Tanako X, the legendary trainer of Heaven and Barbie. Tanako was engaged with a number of other wrestlers at that time and the could not take her on as a student. He directed her, however, to his former associate Masahiro X. Dixie explained that "Mr. Masahiro told me that I had it within myself to become successful but that I needed to focus." Masahiro agreed, saying "I saw that she had a great deal of drive and ambition - what she lacked was discipline. A Corvette has a lot of power but if it is driven at a high speed without focus and direction, it is likely to crash. Such was the situation with young Ms. Monroe."
