The IInspiration Reveal Why They Chose Their New Name, Release New Music Video
In an interview with Busted Open Radio (via Wrestling Inc), The IInspiration spoke about why they chose their current name after previously competing as The IIconics in WWE.
Cassie Lee said: “We had a couple other ideas, but we just didn’t love it and we weren’t sure that it was really us. Jess and I pull a lot of our inspiration from pop culture and teen drama movies that we love. And one of them that we love is Bring It On. There’s a scene where they call themselves ‘Inspiration Leaders.’ And I was like ‘um, okay, I think that narrows it down. And I’ll put to I’s in front of it because that just works.’”
Jessica McKay added: “I think it’s the perfect evolution, because The IIconics were somewhat seen as a comedy tag team. There’s nothing wrong with that, we loved doing that. But we never really– for a brief time, we got to show both sides of our competitiveness and comedy. But I feel like The IInspiration is taking that to a whole other level. We have full creative control from our outfits, from our hair and makeup, to our entrance music that we got professionally done. We have a music video dropping. We’ve gone all out and created this whole world for The IInspiration. And I’m so in love with it, and I am so excited for people to see what we’ve come up with. Because it really is the evolution of The IIconics.”
Meanwhile, the two have also released the music video for their song of the same name, which also features Harley Cameron.
