Chelsea Green recently appeared as a guest on SiriusXM's Busted Open Radio for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During the discussion, the WWE and NXT Superstar spoke about NXT stars having to learn life lessons about WWE and the main roster, and the respect that up-and-comers need to have for veterans.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where she touches on these topics with her thoughts.
On how NXT is like middle school and how the stars have life lessons to learn about WWE and the main roster: "NXT is middle school, it’s not even high school, it is middle school. Now, I’m not saying skill-wise — skill-wise they are some of the best talent in the world, I cannot do 90 percent of the things those women can do. But it’s middle school, they have life lessons to learn about WWE, about the main roster, about traveling 24/7 and coming home from France and going straight into a championship match, and that is what I’m going to teach them when I’m their champion. I’m going to teach them that there is so much more to this business than doing a front flip and a backflip."
On young up-and-coming talent needing to respect veterans of the business: "I don’t think they need to learn the hard way, I don’t think they need to come up to the main roster and, you know, be grounded and pounded by people, it doesn’t need to happen … we are in this together, I’m going to kick your a** but I still respect you, I absolutely respect you. I respect what you’ve done, I know your resume, I know where you’ve been, I know the titles that you’ve held, and I know what you’ve done in NXT, and I respect that. So respect me and respect what I’ve done."
