Charlotte opens up about her lofty ambitions
In a recent interview, legendary wrestler Ric Flair’s daughter, Ashley Flair, better known by her ring name Charlotte, opened up about her goals and ambitions in wrestling as well as a range of other topics.
On her dad’s influence on her character Charlotte says, “Having my dad in the business and using a lot of what’s been real life … most of Charlotte’s character is really who she is. A lot of who Ashley is is Charlotte and the same with my dad. It’s not like I’m the Joker.”
It’s clear that Charlotte wants to be much more than an entertainer and made clear her intention of inspiring youngsters saying, “That’s probably the main focus – to be a role model for younger girls and send positive messages to never give up and be who they want to be. That’s a really big part of the job where you talk to kids at (places like) Make a Wish and have that opportunity to interact.”
The 29-year-old also revealed her lofty ambitions saying: “I’m not 21 anymore and I’ve got a good head on my shoulders. I’m on cloud nine. I want to be the female Rock. Honestly, I can’t believe I’m here today. Where I’m going to be in three years, I’m sure I’ll be blown away.”
Charlotte, who is a WWE Diva, clearly has a lot of talent and besides being named Rookie of the Year by Pro Wrestling Illustrated in 2014, also boasts of winning the NXT Woman’s Championship as well as the WWE Diva’s Championship in her promising career.
However, whether she can reach the same feats as the Rock, who is considered as one of the most iconic wrestlers of all time, remains to be seen.
