Liv Morgan recently spoke with NorthJersey.com; you can read a few highlights below:
Morgan comments on getting into WWE through famed trainer Joe DeFranco:
“I told Joe I was a huge wrestling fan, and that I loved WWE growing up. He took a chance on me, and gave me a really cool opportunity to work out with him. He sent my information along to WWE, which led to my tryout. DeFranco’s is still based out of New Jersey, so every time I go home I make sure I get in with him at the gym.”
Morgan says she’s focused on now, and might have a ‘Plan B’ further down the road:
“Is it weird that I haven’t thought about it? I know I probably should, but like I said, this was my dream. I just have this in my head, and it’s my complete focus. It is smart to think ahead, but I’m so enveloped in this now that I’m not thinking about anything else. Maybe in five years, if you ask me again, I’ll have a plan B, but this is plan A, B, C, D, E, F and G right now.”
Liv comments on Lita inspiring her, and says she hopes she can do the same:
“I grew up in an unstable environment. If you look at my life on paper, I shouldn’t be here. WWE was the only thing that made me and my brothers happy. Watching Lita, I’d see this red-haired chick with baggy pants and sneakers, and she’s wrestling with the boys and is a tomboy. I was such a tomboy growing up. I liked baggy pants and sneakers. Even today, I wear tights and wear sneakers. Just looking at Lita, I felt like she could be my friend. She was someone I related to. That’s all I want to do for girls growing up. I want them to see me and think, ‘Liv can be my friend.’
“So, if I’m anyone’s role model, it’d be very cool. I don’t try to be anything I’m not. I’m just myself. If I can relate to anyone, or they can relate to me, it’d make me very happy.”
