Becky Lynch was recently interviewed by Uproxx. During the interview, Becky was asked her thoughts on Ronda Rousey recently making fun of the fact that she attended clown college.
Ronda said during a promo that while Becky was going to clown college, she was training for the Olympics and fighting in the UFC.
Here is Becky’s response to those comments from Ronda:
“Well, I’ve never gotten to set foot in the ring – apart from beating her up, I’ve never had a match with Ronda, so I couldn’t tell you what that’s like. All I can tell you is everything that I’ve worked for, all the jobs that I’ve taken to get me where I am, to pave the way for where I am and pay my own way to get where I am, they made me who I am, and that’s why there’s been such a groundswell. That’s why this is so relatable. Because not everybody is born an athlete and not everybody has a parent who encourages them to be the absolute best in their sport and in their career choice. Some people have to overcome obstacles. They have to overcome the fact that their parents don’t want them to do what they want to do, the fact that their parents want them to maybe go down their line of work… So for her to go out and to say things like oh, I went to clown college, et cetera, like it’s a negative thing, I think is very ignorant, right?
But I think when you look at people who have a communications background, whether it be acting, whether it be theater, whatever it is, their ability to connect with the crowd becomes a lot greater, because it’s the art of communication. How can I communicate what I am feeling to this audience? And because that’s all WWE is. We want to make people feel. And right now, I think they’re feeling a certain way about Becky Lynch.”
