WWE Star Believes Their Television Debut Is The Worst Of All Time: ‘Worse Than The Shockmaster’

WWE

A WWE star has said that their television debut was the worst debut of all time, calling it ‘worse than the Shockmaster’.

Becky Lynch is currently one of the top names in the WWE women’s division, with her breaking out as one of the company’s top stars following her heel turn in 2018.

Becky had actually begun training in 2002 at Finn Balor’s training school, with her later taking a seven year break from wrestling prior to signing with WWE in 2014.

Becky Lynch Believes Seven Year Absence Led To Her Being Signed At The Right Time

Speaking to Off The Ball, Becky reflected on her journey to WWE, noting that she believes she could have been signed to WWE earlier than she was, but she wouldn’t have been ready, saying that signing with the rest of the Horsewomen was ‘the right time’.

She said:

“I left for seven years, and I think I always beat myself up, I did beat myself up, I had so much guilt about that because I felt like I’d been given this gift of discovering something that I loved and was passionate about, and I bottled it and left, and abandoned it.

“But I think if I hadn’t done that, if I hadn’t been gone for those seven years, I might have gotten signed at 20, 21, would have gotten into WWE and I wouldn’t have been ready for it, and I would have been there at a time where they weren’t ready to give me what I wanted.

“So the fact I did leave for those seven years and I came in at the time with the girls I was with. With Sasha, with Charlotte, with Bayley, and we all had this vision of where we wanted to go. We wanted to be treated like the lads, we wanted to be the main event stars, we didn’t think it should matter what gender we are, we just loved wrestling and wanted to be good at wrestling and wanted to tell good stories.

“Thankfully I did come in at that time. Well I came in at the tail end where we still weren’t allowed to punch or use stairs. Everything we did was the first time ever; first women’s tables match, first women’s ladder match, first women’s this, first women’s Rumble. To have gotten to a point where now that’s not the case anymore is really incredible.”

Becky Lynch Says WWE Debut Was The Worst Of All Time

Becky made her WWE NXT debut in 2014, with her far from the Man we see on WWE television nowadays that main evented WrestleMania 35.

Becky entered doing a stereotypical Irish dance to Irish entrance music, a character that would be rather shortlived.

Becky reflected on her NXT debut, believing it’s the worst debut of all time and worse than the Shockmaster’s infamous WCW debut.

She added:

“This was one of those things where I was on the chopping block from day one when I came in there, because I had left for seven years and got signed and I felt like such a fraud. I had no right to be there, I was so messed up in my own head, I could barely put one foot in front of the other.

“At the time it was kind of gimmicky in NXT a little bit, you had Emma doing this dance thing, and I remember coming out being like ‘alright, I’ll just be the stereotype’. Then I did it on, they would do these PC shows, and I started doing, and everyone’s singing, but then it was like ‘yeah, that’ll be the money-maker, just do that’.

“And I did do that. In my debut on NXT I came out doing the world’s worst- oh God, it’s so embarrassing. Only Shockmaster had a worse debut, and I actually don’t think he did.

“I think I had the worse one because I intended to do that, whereas Shockmaster did not, he just fell over, he didn’t intend to do that. The intent was I was going to go out and do this, and this was going to be a gamechanger.

“I was going to be the person to main event WrestleMania one day. That was my goal, and that was what I did, I thought those two could correlate together, and that’s ridiculous.”
