Flair first answered how she prepares for performing in front of a crowd as big as that at ‘WrestleMania.’ Crowds at the shows of shows usually top 70, 000 every year.
“You really can’t prepare for that. I think it’s just as scary every year when you walk into WrestleMania, but I do know that it is the grandest stage of them all and you want to make the biggest impact and impression so right now, I am very focused. I’m only thinking about one thing and it’s almost overwhelming, I can’t explain it. The anticipation leading up to it. I just know that it’s going to be one of the biggest matches of my career.”
Flair answers who she’d love to main event ‘WrestleMania’ against if she had the opportunity to do so.
“If this wasn’t the main event, me vs. Asuka, I would definitely say a Fatal 4-Way against the Four-Horsewomen.”
She responded to Jim Ross saying she is the Hulk Hogan of women’s wrestling.
“I guess I’m tall, blonde and tanned. It’s a very big compliment. It’s really nice for JR to say that about me.”
Finally, Flair was asked if her father Ric still gives her advice on her matches.
“Everyday. I’ve had a lot of success, but I still want to improve. I still want to grow as a performer, and there’s still so much left to be done. That is a matter of believing in myself and my dad as my biggest advocate continues to tell me every morning, to keep working hard. If I have my doubts, he is always there to lift me up.”
For those unaware, her father Ric Flair is scheduled to go in for some serious surgery soon. We should have an update on that shortly, so stay tuned to Wrestling Rumors.
