In an exclusive interview for WrestlingNews.co, Steve Fall spoke with WWE Hall of Famer Madusa (Alundra Blayze). Madusa’s book, “The Woman Who Would Be King: The MADUSA Story,” is now available on Amazon. You can order it by clicking here.
Madusa on the WWE sale to Endeavor:
“Vince McMahon is successful, one, because of his daddy, and then of course him taking it to the next level, not once, not twice, but to hit your pinnacle so many times in one business for so long is remarkable. I feel that change is good. A lot of people don’t like change, but change is very scary. It’s the fear. I embrace change. I love change. It’s a challenge. It’s like my high. That’s what keeps me going. But anyway, so with WWE, congratulations.”
Her thoughts on Charlotte Flair vs Rhea Ripley not main eventing Night 1 of WrestleMania 39:
“It’s not that I’m going to take Triple H’s side, but women want equality and women want what everyone else has, and because rightfully so in a world and where we’re at. However, I’m going to go back to where you have to prove that you can do that spot. So people and women and everybody feel that, ‘Hey, we’ve earned this spot. We need to main event’, or ‘Hey, straight from the Royal Rumble, we get a spot.’ But you gotta ask yourself this question and everybody out there. “Is a match or a storyline strong enough to carry a main event at WrestleMania?’ So on the defense of women, we’re only as good as a group. You yourself as a wrestler and your training and your ability to deliver. Number two, I’m only as good as the ring because if that ring ain’t put together and it falls apart and I’m wrestling, my match goes to crap. Number three, I’m only as good as the creative writers and what the storyline they give me. Number four, their social media and how they market you. You are a package. You’re a total package and you rely not just on yourself all the time 100% to deliver, but these other three people, and it’s very F’ing important. I cannot stress enough, I would love to see women carry a whole card at WrestleMania, but we’re not there (yet). We’re not. You’re gonna tell me as soon as we can have women stories that are creative enough to make sense, and women that can deliver all of that stuff, because there is many, many talented women that could and that deserve longer times and more input and whatnot, but it’s got to have that believability and you’ve got to have that support with the company you work with. I know they say they do, they’re given them that platform, and they get all of this stuff, but that whole Bloodline, that whole match, it was Cody Rhodes, and I’m sorry, but it was so good, and I can’t think of one woman’s match during WrestleMania that would have carried WrestleMania. I have to take his (Triple H’s) side and I’m a woman. If I think it’s right, I’m going to say it. Is it what it is. Those are my feelings. Those are my facts.”
