Shotzi on How The Wyatt Family Inspired Her to Become a Wrestler

– During a recent appearance on The RIP Tour – A Halloween Horror Nights Podcast, WWE Superstar Shotzi revealed how The Wyatt Family got her back into wrestling and inspired her to become a pro wrestler. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):

Shotzi on The Wyatt Family getting her into wrestling again: “I watched a little bit with my brother growing up, but I was never a huge fan. I just never thought that someone as small as me could be a wrestler. I always thought you had to have the biggest muscles ever to be a wrestler. I was doing musical theater, I moved back home from going to musical theater college and dropped that dream. I started watching WWE again, and it was the Wyatt family that I was watching that got me into wrestling again. I thought they were so cool.”

On getting into wrestling: “Me and my sister wanted to be the female version of them. The rest is history. We talked about that, and I immediately went online, ‘How do you get into wrestling?’ I looked up schools near me and started training a few months later. I thank the Wyatt family for that. I was a theater kid. I was watching wrestling and was like, ‘this is aggressive theater.’ This is what I need to do.”
