Taylor Wilde Says She Has "Alot More To Give," Talks WWE Mae Young Classic

During the latest edition of the Wilde On podcast, former IMPACT Knockout Taylor WIlde explained her decision to decline an invitation to the first-ever WWE Mae Young Classic. Check out Taylor's comments below.

On getting a chance to compete in WWE's Mae Young Classic:

“I was invited to that first Mae Young Classic. I hadn’t been wrestling, this was like six, seven years retired, I was like, ‘yeah, okay f**k it. You don’t get this opportunity all the time. WWE’s going to run this all-women’s tournament. If there’s any reason to get my ass out of retirement, this is it.’”

On an injury she suffered while training for the MYC:

“So I start training, I am a firefighter now and I am a lot stronger and healthier than I used to be. So I went to run to the turnbuckle, dude was going to pop me up, land on the top rope and I can’t remember what I was going to do. He pops me up, but I overshot him. I basically could have done it myself, I overshot the turnbuckle, headbutting the beam. My face was all mangled. I landed on my feet and I was like, ‘I’m okay.’ But, it was the first time I had post-concussion syndrome. So I was like, ‘that’s enough.’

On being "back now":

“I made it six years professionally with a career on TV, here I am at 30 trying to get back in gear and I knock myself silly and have to get my face glued shut. I was like, ‘Nah, pass.’ Everything happens for a reason. I wasn’t ready then and it still took me a few more years, but I’m back now. A career for a female wrestler is different now, 35 is not the kiss of death anymore. I feel like I have a lot more to give.”
