Former WWE Raw Women’s Champion, Ronda Rousey recently spoke with UFC’s Megan Olivi where she admitted that she already misses things about wrestling. Below are some highlights with a H/T to WrestlingInc.com for the transcriptions.
On what she misses about wrestling:
“They say no one really retires but we will see. I’m trying to do the baby thing now so we will play it by ear. I do miss a lot of little things about it. Like me and the girls would have rituals we would do throughout the day, small comforts. Like saying good luck, good job. It’s fun watching and I miss them. But, happy to be resting, healing up.”
Her friendship with Dana White:
“Dana White is always going to be one of my best friends, I love him so much.” Rousey exclaimed, “As I will never forget that he believed in me when no one else did. His belief in me changed my life. And we have a lot of history, but I feel like he is someone I can relate to, he understands my viewpoint a lot and I can kind of vent to him and get his point of view on things. Because a lot of people may not understand the situations I’m in. I get excited just for his little success, just like he does for mine. He has been a great friend. Not just as a boss. We have transitioned from that boss/employee relationship to afterward it has just gone on to prove that we are bonded together by more than just UFC.”
On the comparison of nerves from fighting and wrestling:
“Yes (there were nerves), but I mean after fighting it’s like I feel like I get to enjoy wrestling more than everyone else because I’m maxed out on pressure,” explained Rousey. “The kind of moments like this past WrestleMania. That main event, that pressure, that moment was the craziest, high-stakes moment Becky and Charlotte have ever been in their lives and I was like I love WrestleMania, have a great day, have a great match, see ya’ guys, first-ever women’s main event at WrestleMania. They are like ‘Oh my god I want to do a good job’ and I’m like ‘Joan Jett is here?’ That’s awesome.”
On why she stuck around in WWE for so long:
“But I completely fell in love with it and every single person there. I feel like I really found a whole lot of lifelong friends that I didn’t even see coming,” Rousey admitted. “It was something I thought would be a small detour, but it became my whole life for a year.”
