Shayna Baszler has revealed how she has improved under the tutelage of Vince McMahon, but the journey was not an easy one.
Shayna Baszler Credits Vince McMahon For Her Development
In an interview with Renne Pacquette’s Oral Sessions, Shayna spoke on how she was initially intimidated by Vince. She said: “You come in with this image that he’s this unhinged, crazy guy, but he’s always so nice and critiques me really well. He’s never been the way you imagined. You build up this monster in your mind so much.
But her relationship with Vince was mutually benefiting the two, given that he was guiding her, which meant more success for the franchise. She added: “When I first started wrestling on RAW, he gave me a talk that was like, ‘Look, you have something different to offer. You have a unique look.
“The thing you have to start learning now that you’re on RAW is that your workrate is shown on PPVs, so don’t get so hellbent on weekly RAW TV because that’s where we build the story for the workrate that you can do on a PPV.”
Shayna would overcome those difficulties as she became more comfortable in her own skin, and this was down to her other female counterparts, which aided her relationship with Vince. She said: “I think it was finally when I started working with Sasha and Bayley where I think in the ring I stopped trying so hard to impress Vince and just started feeling comfortable in my stuff.
“It was finally where it started being like, that’s it, and going in the back and he said, ‘You’re getting it.” The road to success was not easy, but Shayna did not regret any of it. And why would she? After all, she is one of the most popular stars in the wrestling business.
And she signed off the interview with the following: “So, it has been this big learning curve, but I think feeling that comfort in what I am and not necessarily, and this is leaving out a bunch of Randy Orton being like, ‘Don’t worry about the fans saying it’s boring.”
It is good to see Shayna doing well, and the sky is the limit if she continues to make the right moves.
