In a recent interview with SportsKeeda, WWE Superstar Natalya lavished praise on NJPW President Hiroshi Tanahashi, joking that she’d like to wrestle him because she has a crush on him.
Natalya said, “I want to wrestle everyone. I want to wrestle everyone. Listen, I would love to have a match with Tanahashi if I could [laughs]. I know it’s crazy and that came from left field, but I’ve always had this huge crush on Tanahashi [laughs]. I’m like, he’s so good. It’s his confidence, it’s his presence, it’s the way he holds himself. I’m like, he’s so good. Sorry TJ, I just said I had a crush on Tanahashi [laughs] Listen, we’re allowed to have little crushes. But the way he performs, he’s the best. He’s the ace.”
During a recent appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” The Miz explained why it feels “really weird” to be cheered by the fans as a babyface after years of portraying a heel.
He said, “It’s about time people were chanting my name and celebrating me,” Miz first said in heel fashion. “I’m sick of getting booed all the time. Can I be truly honest with you? This is really weird,” he said. “I’m not used to getting cheered. I honestly have no idea what to do, what to say. Because I want to be liked. I’ve strived for it for so long. I think all you want in WWE is to earn respect and get the respect that you’ve fought for your entire career. To hear the fans now, to be with [R-Truth], it’s been truly an honor and it’s been incredible and I’ve been loving every second of it.”
