When They Were Fans : When Wrestlers Were Fans Part 3
Hey Readers! I am back with part 3 of my ‘ When Wrestlers Were Fans ’ series. If you have not , please check out parts 1 and 2! I’ve been enjoying writing this series and getting see the wrestlers that we all love with the ones who they loved growing up.
NXT Women’s North American Champion Kelani Jordan recreating a photo of WWE Hall of Famer and ECW Legend , Rob Van Dam, from one of his workouts. Jordan says that studying RVD’s matches has helped her in the ring and with her training.
Cassie Lee ( FKA Peyton Royce ) with Jeff Hardy and Mickie James. Lee has said that she loved watching WWE growing up and was inspired to get in the ring. She also said that every time they came back to Australia, she tried to go. Lee also said that Eddie Guerrero was her inspiration to wrestle.
Jessica McKay ( FKA Billie Kay ) with WWE Hall of Famer , Rey Mysterio. McKay says that she started watching wrestling when she was only 10 years old. She would sit down with her brother and his friends to watch WWE Pay Per Views. McKay credits The Rock for being her inspiration to wrestle.
Mercedes Monè ( FKA Sasha Banks ) with WWE Hall of Famers , The Garcia Twins ( FKA The Bella Twins ) . During the Divas Revolution in WWE , Moné would be called up to the Main Roster from NXT in 2015 to join Naomi and Tamina Snuka in Team BAD . She credits the Hall of Famers for being Trailblazers and helping pave the way for Women’s Wrestling as we know it . Monè credits Eddie Guerrero as her inspiration to step into the squared circle.
Cora Jade with CM Punk. Jade has credited Punk and his wife , AJ Lee , as two of her inspirations to step in the ring . Jade and Punk are both from Chicago, Illinois. Like Roxanne Perez, Punk and Lee call Jade their wrestling’ Daughter ’. She also credits Bayley and Sasha Banks ( Mercedes Monè) as inspirations for her to step in the ring after watching them on NXT Takeover : Brooklyn.
Former NXT Superstar and current AEW star , Adam Cole with WWE Hall of Famer , Shawn Michaels. Cole says that Michaels is favorite wrestler of all time and is the greatest to ever step in the ring. He also says that being NXT has helped his career by being able to learn under his childhood hero.
My Final Thoughts:
Part 3 was a great article to write. As I stated in the previous articles for this series , it is so amazing to see wrestlers we watch with the ones they loved. I have another part to this series coming soon. If you want me to write about the Divas Revolution, let me know!
Love You All,
- Kay
