Becky Lynch has come a long way since her "WWE NXT" run, with a revamped character and plenty of accolades to her name on the main roster. "TheMan" recently looked back at her NXT days while appearing on "TheRich Eisen Show," recalling specifically how enjoyable one aspect was at the time."Promo class back then was incredible; it was a variety show!" she said. "It was like a talent show, just: 'What can you do? Bring it up! Try out a character.' None of these characters were going to make it to TV, but it was just throwing s**t at the wall and seeing what stuck."She added that the experience was a lesson in creativity to her and provided wrestlers with a way to learn how to not be afraid of looking stupid in front of an audience. "I remember whenI was younger,I told PaulHeyman this: that there was a line in the 'Rise and Fall ofECW' [documentary] that always stuck out to me. He said: 'Because if you're not afraid to fail, then my God, the possibilities are endless.'And this was like a microcosm of that, at promo class!"Lynch claimed that these "NXT" promo classes were where the likes ofLA Knight, Enzo Amore, Big Cass, Sasha Banks,and Bayley all developed their personas before getting onto television and nailing it. "There was these people that had their act together, and then there was the rest of us that were just trying to figure it out, and it was just awesome," she recalled. "God, them was the good old days."If you use any quotes from this article, please credit "The RichEisenShow," and provide a h/t toWrestling Inc. for the transcription.
