WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Shayna Baszler recently appeared as special guest on Renee Paquette’s Oral Sessions podcast and spoke about several topics. While discussing about WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, Shayna Baszler revealed the advice she got from Vince when she made her Raw debut last year. Here what Shayna Baszler said:
“When I first started wrestling on RAW, he gave me a talk, that was like, ‘look, you have something different to offer. You have a unique look. The thing that you have to start learning now you’re on RAW is that, your work rate is showing on PPVs and in NXT. So don’t get so hell-bent on weekly RAW TV, because that’s where we build the story for the work rate that you can do on a PPV.’ So, he’s like, ‘you have a thing. I don’t want you to do any pro-wrestling. Got it?'”
During her first match on Monday Night Raw Baszler got the chants of ‘This us Boring’ from live fans but she revealed that Randy Orton advised her to not worry about that chants of boring. She also got the same advice from AJ Styles and other superstars.
“So, it has been this big learning curve, but I think feeling that comfort in what I am and not necessarily, and this is leaving out a bunch of Randy Orton being like, ‘Don’t worry about the fans saying it’s boring.’ AJ Styles giving advice and all these guys giving advice, but it’s been a hard balance and it’s something I’m struggling with because I have this old school style, but also I can’t necessarily do it the way they did it back then because it’s wrestling today, so it’s still a juggling process.”
Happy Tuesday to everyone, but mostly the Submission Magician @QoSBaszler , my guest this week on Oral Sessions! We talk magic, whiskey, roller derby, @RondaRousey , @JoshLBarnett and her interactions with Vincent Kennedy McMahon. It’s a good one! https://t.co/jYFthS4GDX
