Many wrestlers dream about someday standing in a WWE ring, but Thekla‘s dream was always to get to AEW.
All Elite Wrestling‘s Thekla was a recent guest on Unrestricted. During the discussion, Thekla revealed how she got into AEW while she was still a backyard wrestler in Austria and how it became her dream to be part of the company.
“I was working in Japan and living there for five years,” Thekla said. “So being out here, obviously, I do enjoy that there is a little bit less of a language barrier, so I’ve been able to express myself when it comes to doing promos or talking to my new teammates.
“Other than that, it’s cool. I love AEW. For those that have been reading interviews and listening to stuff I’ve said before, that was kind of the dream. I was watching some of the first pay-per-views with my friends when I was still a backyarder back where I’m from in Austria.
“I’d be pointing at the TV like, ‘Guys, give me a couple of years, but I’m gonna be on TV.’ Now, my friends from back then, they’ll be watching the pay-per-views and they’ll be like, ‘Yeah, she actually did it!’” [H/T: Fightful]
