Former Women's World Champion Liv Morgan has recently credited WWE Hall of Famer Lita as her primary inspiration for becoming a professional wrestler. The current Women's World Title challenger opened up about her childhood fandom in a recent interview.
Speaking with 8 News Now, Morgan explained how she connected with Lita's persona as a young fan. She began watching wrestling at age five and immediately gravitated toward the former Women's Champion.
Growing Up With Four Brothers
Morgan described herself as a tomboy who roughhoused with her four older brothers. Lita's style resonated with her because the WWE Hall of Famer wrestled men, wore baggy pants, and wore sneakers.
I grew up watching wrestling since I was five years old, and I loved Lita. I grew up with four older brothers. So I was very much a tomboy. I would roughhouse with my brothers, wear baggy pants and sneakers, and Lita was a WWE superstar who would wrestle the boys, wear baggy pants, wear sneakers. So I saw her and I just very much related to her," Morgan said.
Morgan is currently preparing for her match against Stephanie Vaquer for the Women's World Championship at WrestleMania 42.
