Becky Lynch was interviewed by Scott Fishman of The Miami Herald for a TVInsider article and a good part of the discussion focused on the legends that have had an impact on Lynch’s resurgence, including comments on Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, Steve Austin & Lita. Below are a few quotes:

Becky Lynch on the advice Shawn Michaels gave her:

“Things weren’t going as well as they are now before I left to shoot [The Marine 6: Close Quarters],” Lynch said. “I remember him giving me advice saying, ‘When you go back, go in as a different person. Hold your head a little bit higher. Have that attitude that you’re a top star. Go with it. I think this is what I’ve been trying to do since I came back.”

On Steve Austin’s generosity:

“Steve has been very supportive and generous with his time,” Lynch said. “He talks to me and gives me matches to watch. That has been wonderful.”

On the major influence of Mick Foley:

“Then I was with Mick Foley recently and talking to him. He is one of the reasons I’m here today. He was someone who helped bring me back into wrestling. I’ve been very lucky for the support I’ve gotten from people who have been here before and done wonderful things in the business.”

On meeting Lita for the first time and how it helped her attitude:

“I remember just seeing Lita for the first time,” she said. “I remember thinking how cool she was. She hung with the guys. I think that was a realization for me that you can be spunky. You can do whatever you want. You can be a badass. I can’t think of a specific match that brought me to this moment. I remember her being such an important idol for me. A hero I can look up to.”
