Becky Lynch was recently interviewed on the Gorilla Position podcast. During the interview, Becky spoke on a wide variety of topics about her WWE career so far. Below are some of the highlights (via Wrestlezone).
Becky on her recent run as Smackdown Women’s Champions:
“It’s been a good time. To be able to take that ball and run with it and prove what you have always known that you could do and you wanted to do. Being able to go into Evolution as the champion which is one that I hold in high regard after being drafted to Smackdown and wanting to make that the best in the business which I think we did for a long time. I wanted to be the first Smackdown Women’s Champion and when I lost it, it was a struggle to get back to the top”
On finally being given the opportunity:
“Honestly, I think its an inside job. I think if you don’t believe in yourself than nobody will. I think that it has been a long time and there has been a lot of doubt. It has been a constant effort to know that whatever you have is enough. To analyze what it is that gets you to the top. Even in London last doing the ‘Marine 6’, Shawn Michaels told me to go back a star and with confidence that I belong here. Most of it is the fans because they believed in me and saw something in me. At Money In The Bank, anytime I climbed that ladder the fans went insane, and it got the attention of backstage”
On comparisons to CM Punk and Stone Cold Steve Austin:
“That’s cool and quite an honor. Arguably the greatest superstars that we have ever had. Unbelievable. I have picked Stone Colds brain and he has been very good with giving advice.
He was real, and that is what him so good. Most people can relate to this Becky Lynch character because I have absolutely no natural talent but I am a really hard worker.”
