WWE NXT’s Blake Monroe: “Nobody cares if you can do some gymnastics, at least I don’t”
While speaking to ReviewSTL, WWE NXT star Blake Monroe was asked if she prefers telling a story in the ring or stealing a show athletically. Here was Monroe’s response…
“I think you can steal the show with a story. I mean, if you look at my career and my career highlights, I think all of them have come from a story. And I think I’m a fantastic wrestler in the ring. I don’t do 25 moonsaults or death-defying stunts, but when I go out there, I give 110% in what I do. And I feel like my in-ring marries my character perfectly.
And I just think the most important part of wrestling is telling a story. If you think about the people on top right now and the WrestleMania main events we’ve had recently in the past sort of 10 years, you know, Cody [Rhodes] and Roman [Reigns], that was like a 2-year-long epic. I mean, it was incredible.
If you look at John Cena, when I grew up too, like the stories I would watch when Jeff Hardy finally won the world title. I mean, those are the moments you remember. It’s the stories. Nobody cares if you can do some gymnastics, at least I don’t.”
