Charlotte Flair was on Fresno’s Fox 26’s Great Day before heading to SmackDown on Tuesday. “The Queen” touched upon a few different topics that includes her motivation to keep wrestling, where she sees herself in the next 10 years and how she makes it a point not to fall asleep anywhere associated with the word “TV.” You can read quotes from the interview below (transcription credit should go to @DominicDeAngelo at WrestleZone):
Charlotte Flair on not seeing herself as a professional wrestler:
“When you grow up having your father being one of the greatest of all time you just don’t see yourself in that light. I also didn’t see myself as a Diva at the time, but six years ago it was my little brother’s dream [Reid Flair] to be a WWE Superstar but he passed away and now I’m continuing his dream and every day when I walk through that curtain I’m just like ‘I’m doing it for my brother.'”
On her ability to sleep anywhere:
CF: “I can sleep pretty much anywhere: airport, arena, gym bathroom…”
Newscaster: “How about TV sets?”
CF: “Oh, no, you won’t catch me sleeping at TV. That’s the key, get your sleep, gallon of water [a day].”
On main eventing shows:
“My moment’s right now and the women are absolutely killing it in the WWE. We’re taking over in a male-dominated industry which is now women headlining it. It’s almost like we main-evented Sunday and it’s like ‘oh they main-evented.’ It almost sounded normal.”
On where she finds herself in the next 10 years:
“I think I will always be apart of this company or this industry. Company for sure. It’s one of those things once you’re apart of it and once you get that bug. It’s hard to walk away. When my dad retired in 2008 with his match versus Shawn Michaels then when I didn’t know anything about the company or my dad’s career, really. I was like ‘why can’t you just hang up the boots? Why are you having such a hard time?’ And here I am, 2018, not knowing that this was going to be my destiny. I don’t know if I could ever walk away. Whether it’s coaching or producing, I’ll always be in the business.”
