• “She wanted to be looked at in the same light as Stone Cold Steve Austin or Hulk Hogan or The Rock” – AEW Wrestler On Sasha Banks
As we all know by now, former WWE wrestler Sasha Banks debuted in NJPW at Wrestle Kingdom 17 as Mercedes Mone.
She will face Kairi Sane for the IWGP Women’s Championship on February 18th.
During an episode of his FTR podcast, AEW wrestler Dax Harwood noted that Sasha wants to make a difference in wrestling, and wants to be in the same category as Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin & The Rock.
Below is what Harwood said:
“She did take the Tag Team Titles very seriously, but she took wrestling very seriously too. She didn’t get into wrestling just to get into wrestling. She got into wrestling to make a difference. Not just women’s wrestling, but for all of wrestling.
She wanted to be looked at in the same light as Stone Cold Steve Austin or Hulk Hogan or The Rock. She wanted to be looked at that way and she wanted to make a difference in wrestling that way. She’s very prideful.
Sometimes, speaking from experience, pride can rub people the wrong way because you do stand up for what you believe in and you don’t take no for an answer because you want the best for yourself and you want the best for your craft and your art, as corny as ‘art’ sounds, that word is too cliche now, but when you take it so seriously, it’s a recipe for success, but a lot of people aren’t going to like you because of it.
I think that’s maybe what happened to her.”
