Eva Marie Talks The Difference Between Acting & Wrestling & Challenges Porn Star Mia Khalifa’s Opinion on Wrestling Not Being a Real Sport

– Eva Marie recently spoke with Complex’s “Out of Bounds,” here are some highlights…

On Brock Lesnar rumored to join Creed II (8:38): “He’s a bad guy, he’s a beast, he literally will kill you in the octagon or take you to Suplex City in the ring. I think he’d be a fantastic addition to Creed II because he plays a heel so naturally.” —

On the difference between training for acting and wrestling (11:31): “You have to put your body through a lot of physicality with wrestling. You’re saying you think it’s fake, however when you get in the ring, you’re really taking those bumps…Then when it comes to acting, you’re trying to get out of yourself and be a whole other person, which also helps with WWE, too, because you’re playing a character at the end of the day.”

On challenging porn star Mia Khalifa’s claims that wrestling isn’t a real sport (12:13): “Some moves are [choreographed], so like you’ll go over your finish, whoever’s gonna win or lose because that’s predetermined. However, when you’re in there, usually you’re just going toe-to-toe. So like, if I have you in a headlock, then I’m telling you right then and there what we’re doing next. You have your producers in the back, adjusting to the crowd. ‘Hey, uh, actually we’re gonna go this way. Change the finish, change whatever you have going on.’ So you can’t really choreograph the dance because everything gets mixed up.”

On comparing sports (14:44): “NFL, NBA, they all have off-seasons. Wrestling doesn’t have an off-season. We’re on the road 209 days out of the year, performing in different cities every single night. Where you have your NBA, and NFL and major league and they’re taking charter flights going to the next city. We’re driving in rent-a-cars to the next city.”
