During a recent interview with The Bleacher Report, WWE women’s wrestler Charlotte Flair commented on posing for ESPN Magazine’s “Body Issue” and women possibly main eventing WrestleMania in the future. You can check out some highlights below:
On becoming the social media ambassador for the ESPN Special Olympics Unified Sports Challenge: “I’m honored to have the opportunity to see these athletes who are performing at the highest level and taking a chance, just to support them. We have so much support as WWE Superstars. Now I get the chance to cheer them on.”
On making it into ESPN Magazine’s “Body Issue”: “It was a bucket list dream of mine. I’ve always been a big fan of the Body Issue. Growing up as an athlete and having a very athletic body, I was always able to relate to them and look up to the athletes who posed for it. The message is: strong is sexy. And we all come in different shapes and sizes.”
On wanting to main event WWE WrestleMania: “I want to main-event WrestleMania. For the women to main-event, all I think it’s going to take is the right storyline.”
On wanting to be as captivating as her father Ric: “My dad was just so charismatic and witty. One day, I hope people say that I was just as good as my dad on the mic in my own way. I will never be saying ‘Space Mountain’ or ‘limousine riding,’ but I hope people say I can control an audience, that I was as captivating as him.”
