Terri Runnels says that while she loved being a part of the wrestling business, she never wanted to actually wrestle. During the course of her WWE career, Runnels worked a total of 28 matches.
While speaking on a recent edition of the “Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw” podcast, Runnels revealed that she never wanted to wrestle and commented on how nervous she was before her matches.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On not wanting to be in the ring: “I loved being in the business. I loved taking bumps. I did not want to be a wrestler…I just didn’t want it…I would get to TV’s, and I literally would be nauseated until I found out whether I was managing that night or if I was wrestling. If I found out I was managing that night and taking a bump, woo, beautiful, awesome, wonderful, love it. If I got to TV’s and I realized I had to wrestle someone, I would go up to the highest level of the arena and vomit my heelstrings up.”
On being nervous during matches: “If you saw me walk through that freaking Titantron, you would have never thought I had just thrown up, because I was so nervous about it. Not to mention that, but wrestling in a thong? It’s crazy…So when it comes down to that, I love our business. Love it. It’s in my blood. But I just…I should’ve never been put in that position, because I didn’t want to do it. I just didn’t want to do it.”
