Kris Statlander does not understand wrestling fans being miserable despite having so many options.
The AEW star recently spoke to TSN to promote the upcoming Grand Slam Australia event. She talked about things such as injuries setting her back in her career, finally winning the Women's World Championship and more.
The former TBS Champion also talked about the negativity of fans, especially those who spend their time pitting companies and performers against each other instead of enjoying the wide variety of high-quality wrestling offered across the industry right now:
“No one hates wrestling more than wrestling fans… I think it’s a shame that some people get so upset thinking that we don’t like each other or that people don’t want to see wrestling succeed, because I just want wrestling to succeed."
It's Just So Unnecessary: Kris Statlander
Kris Statlander discussed how the performers of different companies have no actual animosity and they just want the industry as a whole to continue growing. This doesn't appear to be the case for a segment of fans however, who seem to enjoy the failure of people more than their success:
"I want things to be executed well. I want everybody to have fun and enjoy their lives because we go out there and travel and we put our bodies through so much and people get so invested in our personal lives and all these other things and it’s just so unnecessary when all we’re trying to do is put on a good show for these people.”
The New York native defended her World Title against Thekla on this week's episode of AEW Dynamite, but she unfortunately ended up losing the title. You can check out more about it here.
