"The women were not working in the public businesses; only men," she continued. "We only saw women employed in public places if their husbands or fathers owned the businesses along with them. Once it hit evening, the women would not venture out for fear of disappearing, never to be seen again, being sold, or trafficked. That's what we were told."

Nevertheless, Cheyenne felt that it was worth the risk to brave the unusual circumstances in Nepal.

"Wrestling is, to me, the most universal of all sports, no matter the language barrier. It brings people of all walks of life together and it is extremely engaging in blissful times! In the midst of stress and civil unrest, people need some relief from negative times. A wrestling event can be that ultimate joyful unifier and stress reliever. These people also prove to be some of wrestling's greatest fans!"

Veteran Thomas Rude agreed with these sentiments, noting: "Anything to take peoples' minds off of tragedy is always welcome."

For Cheyenne, she has taken the experience of her visit to Nepalas well as travels to Bahrain, Qatar and Indiaand retained them as formative aspects of her personal work ethic and spirituality.

"I found that the visual fortitude we wrestlers displayed in our battles in the ring was of an inspiration in these areas, she said. "It was a great spiritual experience. Women were in tears and men were in awe. I think these emotions were a product of their environmental issues. We all can use inspiration. I know they inspired me in my adventures there."

Maybe some of the world's biggest problems can be solved not on the battlefield or through polemical and vitriolic debates but within the squared circle. It sure seems like some of the spandex-clad men and women of the sport know a thing or two about diplomacy that somehow escapes the guys in suits and uniforms.
