WWE Superstar Mandy Rose was recently interviewed by Joseph Staszewski of the NY Post and had quite a bit to say about her provocative WWE character, intergender wrestling, and more. Highlights appear below.
Rose On Pushing The Envelope With Her Character:
You know my character, I’m obviously that sexy-hot bombshell that nobody else has and I feel like it works with me and I feel like we’re very careful and I don’t want to push that envelope [too far]. Obviously, we’ve [the women] come a long way. What we do is entertainment and, you know, I’m really enjoying our story. And I think that it gives me a lot of different opportunities and showcases my character. So, it’s been a lot of fun. I kind of like beating up Naomi. So that’s been a lot of fun, too.
On Corey Graves‘ Frequent Comments:
He says a lot of valid, true points that I’m sure a lot of guys are saying when they see me on TV. It’s only normal. I’m not really fazed by it. I think it’s great that he’s always complimented me and talking about how good I look. … He knows what he’s doing, so I’m flattered just like, you know, any other woman would be when a man talks like that about a woman.
Mandy Rose On Being Considered Unapproachable Due To Her Looks:
They don’t want to approach me, which I don’t even try to give off that [intimidation] vibe. It’s just one of those things that I can’t control. So I have that vibe and once they get to know me, I’m actually a really cool person. I’m very easy to talk to, But I don’t [fully] open up to everyone.
On Intergender Matches:
I think it’s a great time for it. Women are breaking down those barriers and they’re becoming, you know, they’re main-eventing and it’s just been an amazing time for women in general in sports. I feel like, yeah, why not do inter-gender matches? It brings entertainment. It brings a lot of different viewers and demographics and all that, so why not do it?
Rose also spoke about the WWE reality series Tough Enough and her upcoming Elimination Chamber tag team match with partner Sonya Deville. Mandy Rose’s full interview with the NY Post appears HERE.
