► The beginnings of Becky Lynch
In your autobiography, Becky Lynch: The Man: Not Your Average Average Girlhe published in 2024, “The Man”, the current intercontinental champion, recalls that her first fight (in May 2005) in the Canadian promoter today was with a woman named Miss Chevius -The same used the name Rebecca Knox– And that the rest of the dressing room saw it from the curtain because They were waiting for it to be a disaster Since they had never seen her fight.
“When it was time to leave for our fight, all the costume gathered in the curtain with a mixture of curiosity and enthusiasm, anticipating a disaster. After all, nobody had seen me fight … when I returned behind the scenes, They received me with a round of applause from the rest of ECCW's cast.”
Once the fight was over, it was when Michelle Starrwho had hired her for the show, He paid him. It was not a large amount but for her a world was. Shortly after, Becky would start earning $ 50 for function:
“While I took my boots, Starr slip an envelope and said: 'The next one will be bigger'. I opened it and I saw 30 dollars. It was as if I had given me a million. After spending three years paying for fighting, they were finally paying me. And for me, I would have done it for free. Everything else was a bonus. “
That combat was not a disaster but one of trios that Lynch shared with Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart when he was 16 years old:
“I was 16 years old and only eight months of experience. I was going to face a WWE superstar. The only problem was that I had no idea what I was doing. At the beginning of the fight we all attacked Jim. In my hurry, I kicked him in the knee, and his leg – he is in a ham – turned in the wrong direction.
«With legitimate fear of breaking an ACI (ligament), He pushed me and shouted at his American accent: 'Do not kick people like that!' With a voice that came from the bottom of his chest. All my emotion became shame. I retired and stayed on the strings, hoping not to ruin anything. It was my first real opportunity, and I almost injured the star of the show.
“Then, in the dressing rooms, I said: 'Lord, I'm very sorry. I didn't want to hurt him '. And he told me: “Oh, baby, nothing happens. Let me teach you how someone is holful. '. Despite its size, I hit my back that felt like a Malvavisco. “
