Occasional NWA competitor Samantha Starr was recently interviewed by the Miami Herald, where the up-and-coming independent star discussed her legendary wrestling family, consisting of her uncle Jake Roberts, her father Sam Houston, her mother Baby Doll, and her grandfather Grizzly Smith.
Starr shared what she has learned from Roberts on getting her character over in the ring:
“I was taught that if you have a message, and you can capture an audience without yelling, that’s when it becomes believable. You don’t have to go out there, yell and scream, and throw your arms up. If you can go out there and deliver your message without screaming, that’s good storytelling. So that was very important. You don’t see Jake screaming. You don’t see Jake throwing a fit and [going], ‘I’m gonna go beat this guy up.’ It was also almost unhinged. It was the mental attack before the physical attack. It’s genius. He is an absolute genius when it comes to psychology.”
