Recently released WWE talent MJ Jenkins was recently interviewed by Sportskeeda to talk about several professional wrestling topics.
Here are the highlights:
Where the inspiration for her “a whole lotta woman” catchphrase came from:
It comes from all the influences around me. Music, I am an avid fan of Beyoncé. Even from Destiny’s Child Era. I always followed her career, her movies and, not for nothing, I love to sing as well! It’s just been developing as I’ve developed as a woman, as I’ve developed as a performer and a professional. Even on the independent scene, I’ve done AIW, with Girls Night Out, and shows everywhere. I would literally be like, “I want to sing my own entrance”. That was a part of it. Then I added dance moves to it, and then the whole aura of her, she’s just confident, she’s sassy, she’s full of herself but in a good feeling way.”
Relating to the catchphrase:
It was just taking things that I love – music, I love movies – then morphing them around me. A Whole Lot Of Woman is really just like an extension of who I am. The true person. That’s why it’s so easy to play her because, in instances, it actually is me, you know? Being there with WWE, I had a lot of creative direction and they gave me a lot of leeway to do what I wanted and we’ve had like showcases where I’ve pitched me singing my entrance and they were like… “Whoa”. They liked the whole entrance, I had the whole red carpet, I had the lights flashing, the music background of dancing moving behind me. It was just that and then, you know, it really is basically an extension of me and my influences. It makes me glow!
