Independent wrestling star, Priscilla Kelly, recently talked with Wrestle:List about how she uses “sex” as a gimmick & discusses the comparisons between her & WWE superstar, Paige.
Here are the highlights: (audio version of the interview will be below the highlights)
Her Comparisons To Paige:
“I get some much stuff about looking like Paige. My hair has been black since I was 13 and I’ve never looked back. I can’t dye it any other color as its expensive and my hair would probably fall out as it’s black. I tried tanning heavy early on and it was a pain having to tan every week, it was destroying my skin. I finally taught myself to be comfortable in the skin I was born with, I’m just myself. You have one or two traits in common with someone who works for the WWE and you’re always going to be compared to them.”
Using “Sex” As A Gimmick:
“Originally I wanted to be the Gypsy Princess but it ended up turning into more of an evil succubus. Right now I am very dark and sexual so my character and gimmick has evolved in the last two years a lot. I mean I’m pretty well known for doing some specific things in the ring such as grinding, biting, licking and even kissing. I came in to this business and everyone just looked at me as a little girl, I was also raised really strict, I guess I wanted to break out of that. I wanted to be open with myself and it slowly became what it is. In the back of my head it’s also a way to show equality, I know it sounds crazy. One of my catchphrases is: ‘I like girls and boys’ and I think its a way to show off equality, that you can be open with your body and your sexuality.”
