Becky Lynch talks her passion, shaking her head at WWE PPV posters and more
The WWE’s Divas division was in a desolate state a few months back, but the infusion of fresh talents such as Sasha Banks, the current Divas Champion Charlotte and Becky Lynch has freshened things up.
From the lot, it can be argued that Becky has the most diverse in-ring ability due to her vast background in wrestling for indie promotions. The red haired ‘Lass kicker’ shared her views on her passion, the male domination and more. Below are the excerpts from the interview:
On being unique as a performer
Becky’s attitude towards her performance was very astute as she said that if the passion is there towards a thing; the mind is geared and conditioned in pursuing and achieving it which makes it all come together.
“Everybody has that thing about them that makes them special, and sometimes we try to dull it down or we don’t always want to expose it, and maybe we’ve been taught that way or whatever. It’s just a matter of letting it out and letting it go and letting people in on it,” said the talented Diva.
On the importance of women in pro wrestling and rising up the ranks
‘The Lass Kicker’ stated the current credibility she and the women of pro wrestling command is her dream come true and feels great that the long lost respect for the women of pro wrestling is finally back.
She hit the spot when she said, “ It was more of an afterthought. We want it where it’s not just, ‘Oh it’s a girl’s match, let me go put the kettle on and have a cup of tea,’ or whatever. It’s like, ‘Oh, no, the girls are on. I need to see this. I can’t miss it!’ We want that for women’s wrestling. For the whole state of the division. For women in general, you know what I mean? It should never be an afterthought. It should always be that we are equally as credible as the guys, if not more so.”
On Divas main eventing WWE pay-per-views one day
Whenever Becky walks down the hallway of the performance centre, all she can see are pay-per-view posters that have only the male wrestlers featured on it. “It’s all the headliners, all the moneymakers, and they’re all men. All of them. Every single one of them. I walk down and every single time I just kind of shake my head a little bit,” said Becky.
By being optimistic about the future she said, “ Because I know in five years, definitely in ten years, but no, five years, even three years, I know I’m going to be walking down and I’m going to see female wrestlers like Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks and Bayley, and maybe myself, there on those posters. That’s what it’s going to be, because that is the future.”
