WWE star Becky Lynch appeared on the First We Feast channel to discuss various topics, including her reasons for starting wrestling training.
Lynch said, “I was just going so that I would be less of a delinquent. So, it was literally just to to organize my life and get my act together. You know what I mean? And it, it didl I started like doing better at school. I started training. Just, it changed everything. It changed everything in my life. But it wasn’t for the goal of becoming a professional wrestler. I found a community that I loved, and I found that if I worked hard at something, I could get better at it. And I was never good at anything. There’s something about wrestlers. We’re all, maybe there’s like a little screw loose, I don’t know, you know, but there’s like there is something that bonds us all together. You meet so many different people from different walks of life. And we were all like co-mingling and having a great time and having the banter and having the crack and having the fun.”
On how her parents felt about her becoming a wrestler:
“My mom didn’t like it. My dad was super supportive. She didn’t want me wrestling because in fairness there was nothing that I could point at at the time and say like that’s what I want to do. When she was looking on TV and there’d be like bra and panties matches and mud wrestling matches and I’m like yeah, I want to do something like that but not that. I don’t want to do that.”
