Becky Lynch recently was on Busted Open Radio to talk about her new book, “Becky Lynch: The Man: Not Your Average Average Girl” which comes out March 26th.
On how she felt about the experience of writing a book:
“I loved it. I think it was because it was always in my mind that I was gonna do this, like yeah, I’m gonna be a wrestler, I’m gonna make it to WWE, I’m going to main-event WrestleMania, and I’m gonna write a book. It was just like, the things that were, not inevitable, because nothing is inevitable, but was high on my, ‘What I will do one day list.’”
“My dad, when I was younger, was always telling me to write everything down. When I rekindled my love for wrestling as a teenager, Mick Foley was my guy. He was my guy. I could see myself in Mick, you know, the person who wasn’t the athlete, but had that fight in him. When he wrote a book, then I was like, ‘Oh, well, I will also write a book and I will write my own book, too’, because my dad had always told me to write everything down. I think my dad was trying to make me a writer from a young age. He loved getting me to write down different stories, tell stories, all of that kind of stuff. I think that really sculpted the person that I am now.”
“When I wrote the book, I just wanted to make sure it was as honest as possible so that maybe people could relate to it, could find something that could help them, or they could see something in either my mistakes or my successes that maybe they haven’t seen in other books. I think that’s the thing when you’re reading memoirs, and especially from people that have done some exceptional things. I always felt I was an average girl from Dublin who wasn’t really remarkable in any other way, but with wrestling, I was able to change that and I applied myself and got to do some most unaverage things.”
