Raquel Rodriguez Reacts To Recent Criticism From Kevin Nash, Plans To Take His Advice

During a recent episode of his Kliq This podcast, Kevin Nash said that Raquel Rodriguez had been working ‘too small’ instead of using her size to her advantage in the ring.

He said (via Yahoo Sports): “I get pissed off at her because she always works down. She works small. I’ll see her selling and she’ll make herself small instead of staying up and selling big, like moving your hands this way instead of dropping so you can get drop down to them. They got to teeter to knock you off your f***ing base when you’re that much bigger than them.”

In an interview with SHAK Wrestling (via Fightful), Rodriguez said that she plans to take the WWE Hall of Famer’s advice to heart.

She said: “If that’s coming from Kevin Nash, I fully take that to heart. If he thinks I’m working too small, Mr. Nash, sir, with all due respect, I’m gonna start working bigger, and I hope you are able to tune in some more and watch Raquel Rodriguez grow and get a little bit bigger every single time because if anybody knows how to be a cool guy, if anybody knows how to be (a) strong, big guy, it’s Kevin Nash. He set the bar for us. I think that’s what’s kind of kept me going for so long is seeing the glass half full because no matter what, everybody’s gonna have their opinions, everyone’s gonna have their criticisms. I think it’s great to take criticisms with a grain of salt. Take ‘em for what they are. Be respectful to know that, hey, someone else is watching your craft and they’re taking time of their day to criticize you on what you’re doing. That’s kind of a compliment. Kevin Nash has better things to than watch a Raquel Rodriguez match and tell her that she’s working too small but, for him to do that and to go out of his time, I fully respect that and I will fully take that criticism to heart and it’s definitely something that I know I am personally working on at that moment. There’s some things that have happened that I feel have helped me step out of my shell a little bit more. But it’s definitely on the rise for sure. This attitude, I feel like, yeah, she’s new, she’s fresh but she’s just feeling very confident these days and so, I’m just very excited to share all of my opinions and to get more feedback like that. If everyone, from Kevin Nash to Ric Flair to any of our other history-making WWE Hall of Famers wanna give me critiques, I will happily take it, please, thank you.“
