During a recent interview, Becky Lynch shared her thoughts on the inclusion of celebrities in the world of professional wrestling. She revealed that she was not familiar with Logan and Jake Paul before they appeared in WWE, but acknowledged that celebrities have been part of events like WrestleMania for many years.
Lynch expressed concern over the idea of part-time wrestlers like Logan Paul receiving opportunities ahead of full-time roster members. She explained that while outside star power can help bring in a new audience, a balance is needed to ensure that the hard work of full-time wrestlers is recognized and celebrated.
According to Lynch, the inclusion of too many celebrities in WWE could be detrimental to the company. She stressed the importance of having wrestlers who are committed to the craft and thinking about it constantly. In her opinion, these full-time wrestlers are essential to the success of WWE and ensure that the skill and craft of professional wrestling are maintained.
Lynch emphasized that while it’s great to give celebrities like Pat McAfee and Logan Paul their kudos and flowers for their contributions to the wrestling world, it’s important to remember that this business is hard and requires a lot of skill and dedication. She believes that without the full-time wrestlers who are wrestling multiple times a week, the industry would suffer and potentially even die.
That can be a bit of a problem. Personally, and from a work ethic standpoint, that you put all of this effort into this all year round, and when the big shows come, when the big stadiums come, and there’s 80,000 people, you want to receive your flowers for that hard work you’ve been putting in all year round so that we can do this.
It is fantastic, but it cannot be what this business is. We need those people that are wrestling three, four times a week that can carry this, that are thinking about this constantly, that it is their sole focus. We need that, because yes, the Pat McAfees of the world or the Logan Pauls can have three matches a year or one match and we can put a spotlight on them and give them their kudos and their flowers and say, ‘Well done.’ But this business is hard. This business is so hard and it’s tough, and it’s skill and it’s craft, and without those people that know how to do this in the way that we do it, then it will die.”
Overall, Becky Lynch’s opinion highlights the importance of maintaining a balance between using celebrities to bring in new audiences and recognizing the hard work and dedication of full-time wrestlers who are the backbone of the professional wrestling industry.
