Zoey Stark says “you wrestle like a dude” is the biggest compliment she has received
In a video published to her YouTube channel, former WWE star Zoey Stark (Zoey Serrano) was asked what the biggest compliment she has ever received about her wrestling is. Here’s what she had to say…
“So it always comes from men, and they always start off with, ‘I hope you don’t take this the wrong way.’ I’m going to tell you right now, I never do, because then they follow it up with, ‘You wrestle like a dude.’
That, for a female, is the biggest compliment that you could ever receive. And I have received it from some of the best in this business. And I feel like the reason why is women’s wrestling is newer than men’s wrestling, obviously, right?
So getting that aggressive, hard-hitting style, you don’t always get that from women. And that’s a style that I happen to have, which emulates the way a man moves. So for me, that is the biggest compliment I could ever receive.
Especially growing up watching people like Eddie Guerrero, who’s so aggressive and so hard-hitting with his style, and Stone Cold Steve Austin, I wanted to emulate that as much as possible. So being able to hear that from people like Road Dogg or Coach Bloom means the world to me. It’s the biggest, highest compliment a female could ever receive.”
