Charlotte Talks Getting Booed, Carrying On Ric Flair's Legacy, WWE No Longer Using The Term "Divas"
WWE Raw Women's Champion Charlotte Flair was recently interviewed by the Orlando Sentinel to promote the free WrestleMania 33 On-Sale Party last week in Orlando. You can check out some highlights form the interview below:
Being the daughter of Ric Flair:
"I'm just carrying on his legacy and being able to be on the same stage as him when he was at the Citrus Bowl in 2008 means a lot."
How much it means to her that she is in Orlando for the on-sale ticket release party:
"Well with the Performance Center being here, and NXT's 'home', I think it's pretty neat that the fans who watch the future talent rise to the main roster being around, but I live here so it's really nice for me. So it's like I just drive ten minutes down the road to the on sale party, yeah it's exciting."
If getting booed makes her feel bad:
"If they're not booing then I'm not doing a good job. I like it, whether they're cheering or booing it's still a reaction and my role on the main roster is to be a bad guy. If they aren't booing I feel like I'm not doing my job well."
The WWE transforming from 'Divas' to athletes:
"I don't really think about it on a daily basis, but it's nice to be looked at as 'Oh, she's a female wrestler. Oh, she's a wrestler.' And I think that's a positive image to little girls, that they can be anything that they want to be, and I hope that's what I stand for. Other than being mean. Being tough, strong, intelligent, independent, and that's what I hope I stand for and I hope that's what the audience sees."
