Kris Statlander has an interesting take on her wrestling fandom, or lack thereof.
AEW Womenâ€s World Champion Kris Statlander was a recent guest on The Ringer Wrestling Show. When asked about her fandom, Statlander explained why she never considered herself a wrestling fan, but believes sheâ€s more of a fan now than she used to be.
“Iâ€m much more of a fan of wrestling now than I was. I donâ€t really watch it that often unless itâ€s like big shows. And obviously, my job, unless itâ€s AEW. I do see myself more as an athlete, or thatâ€s how I try to talk to myself when Iâ€m not at work, when Iâ€m at home, and I need to focus on nutrition and training and stuff like that … I donâ€t like to consider myself a wrestling fan because people who are just wrestling fans hate wrestling more than anything.
“So I didnâ€t want to be a pro wrestler. I didnâ€t know what wrestling was until I started training … I was very much just like, oh, weâ€ll see what happens. Weâ€ll see where I go with this. I never really had the goal to get signed or to win a belt or anything like that. It was something fun for me to do that was physical, and then I ended up being pretty good at it, and here I am now. But I feel like I was weird and I was very awkward, socially awkward.†[H/T: Wrestling Inc.]
