Carmella on how Kurt Angle inspired her character in WWE

Carmella and R-Truth have been entertaining fans with their dance breaks on Smackdown Live, with the fans definitely behind them.

 


 

Carmella recently spoke to Metro UK, where she revealed how WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle gave her inspiration for her character. The two seem to have more in common than expected. Here is what she said:

“Something I took away from Kurt Angle’s Hall of Fame speech was never be afraid to make a fool of yourself and don’t take yourself too seriously, I really let that sink in and ran with it. In my career I’ve had several different paths and character turns.”

“I was a manager in NXT, then I was the last draft pick and then with James Ellsworth as a champion. I feel it’s important to show different sides of my character and I never take myself too seriously. Some people take themselves way too seriously, but it’s WWE – the E stands for entertainment and that’s what I want to bring to it. Anyone can go out and have a match but it’s a matter of connecting with the fans and making them react one way or another, whether it’s making them laugh, or get mad, or be happy. You’ve got to make them feel some sort of way. Whatever it is I have to do to achieve that, I want to do the best I can.”

This shows that anyone can be inspired by anything in the world of professional wrestling and make the most out of it.
