~Adriana Samu was apparently hit quite hard by the news that Andrew Martin had died earlier this month. The two were not best friends, but they were friendly. They had trained together and are mutual friends of Jay "Christian" Reno. It's no secret that there is a contingency of Canadian wrestlers - including the Hart family, Chris Jericho, Christian, Edge, and formerly Chris Benoit - that stick together and help each other when they can. Both Samu and Martin are part of this group. Samu stated that she was unfortunately not going to be able to attend Martin's funeral because of her SNW commitments, but she would be donating a large amount of money in his name to a charity in his home town of Whitby, Ontario.
~Speaking of donations and charity, Samu has informed SNW adminstration that she will be holding a benefit event to commemorate the passing of Chris Benoit and Scott Anderson, both of whom died in the summer of 2007. The event will likely be held at the Scott Anderson Arena in Vancouver, BC. Samu has reportedly been in contact with her friends in TNA, WWE, SNW, and former FCW, RMW and NAWA wrestlers, as well as Canadian songstress Bif Naked about getting the event off the ground.
~Adriana Samu was spotted with her good friends Octavia "Rory Kotch" Stephanova and Petrina Rotchester at Destination X. Samu spent a lot of time backstage drumming up support for her planned charity show this summer.
~Adriana has mentioned on her site, canadianladysamu.ca, that she will be hosting Stephanova, her husband Alexander, and Petrina as her personal guests for WrestleStock, where Samu will take on the girls' fellow former FCWer and NAWAer Viper. This is the first time the former Y Kores ladies will be in attendance at an SNW show.
~Finally, in a rare move Adriana Samu announced on her site that she is currently dating a member of the SNW staff. As Samu is fiercely protective of her personal life, this must be a pretty serious relationship. She noted that, while she didn't know the fellow Canadian before working for SNW, it turns out they have a very close connection in the world of Canadian wrestling - he is a cousin of Teddy Hart/Annis on the Annis side (Adriana, of course, trained with Teddy and his cousins in the New Dungeon in Calgary). Friends backstage say that Adriana has completely fallen for the older man (she's 25, he's 33), but that she couldn't have fallen for a better guy.
