Wendy Choo believes the current character she’s portraying has been very fun and rewarding for her.
WWE NXT Superstar Wendy Choo recently got a back adjustment from Dr. Beau Hightower and spoke about her career in the process. During the adjustment, Choo spoke about what it’s like to compete as this character and how her match against Mandy Rose helped solidify her as a credible threat in the eyes of the WWE Universe.
“I’ve had a bunch of different characters within my four years of being here, but the latest my latest character was Wendy Choo. It’s been very fun and rewarding,” Wendy Choo said. “And I think one of my favorite matches there was a championship match for the NXT Women’s Championship, and I was against Mandy Rose. That was the first time that I got to really show my stuff.
“Like everyone sees my character as like, ‘Oh, she’s like a cute little girl, she can’t really do anything.’ And sometimes the internet can be really cruel. And it happens quite often because the general population gets to comment on what we do. But what they don’t see is all the amount of work that we put into it and that it’s a character, and sometimes the characters are a small or a large extension of ourselves.
“So being my fun character, I really do my best to try to cater to children and be fun and animated and something different. And some people don’t like it, and that’s okay because everyone has different flavors, but I do love it. And with that, like judging a book by its cover. You’re just like, this little kid, this annoying little girl-looking character like you can’t take her seriously. Like she’s like, whatever annoying and whatever it is. They think that I’m not a serious competitor, which is completely false.
“Because I’ve been doing this for ten years. I know that I can wrestle my ass off. So having that moment of finally having a real match, like a championship match, is crazy to me because they got to see how athletic I was. They got to see a personality. They got to see more than just this little small prankster Wendy Choo. They got to see that like, wow, she can flip. She looks like she can hit hard. She looks like almost a threat in the ring.”
