Michin Says She Debuted The ‘Long Back Attack’ To Make Her Co-Workers Laugh

Michin discusses ‘The Long Back Attack’.

Michin is a wrestler who wears her heart on her sleeve, and has been a wrestler who has drawn a great deal of laughter from fans, whether that be her antics on screen or her social media antics with wrestlers such as Shelton Benjamin. However, Michin says one move in her arsenal was debuted with the express purpose of making her co-workers laugh.

While speaking to DS Shin on the latest episode of Ring The Belle, Michin spoke about the origins of the ‘long back attack’. After explaining the hate she got for her ‘not even having an ass’, Michin explained that the move began as a way to make her co-workers laugh.

“I really like making people laugh, Shane Helms and Shelton and everybody have always been making fun of my long back, and it’s like, you know what? I’m gonna try it once. Let me just try this once. So I did it, and then I told Michael Cole and Stu (Wade Barrett), cause Michael was still on SmackDown. It’s like, ‘Hey, I’m going to do this. I’m going to twerk, and it’s called a long back attack.’ and they’re writing it down. They’re like, yep, and they were like, okay, long back attack. I’m like, okay, cool. So I did it, and immediately, like everybody on Twitter was talking about it and everybody in the back was like dying laughing, and that’s all I want. I just wanted to make my co-workers laugh. Next time I see Michael Cole, he’s like, ‘so I got a lot of tweets about, you know, my commenting on that move. And I didn’t know what it meant until I googled it. Are you sure you’re comfortable with me like’…  I was like, you’re so considerate. But yes, I specifically didn’t tell you because I wanted you to do it on commentary to get the genuine reactions of everybody.”

Michin continued, noting how wholesome Michael Cole’s response ended up being.

“I told him to! It was the most wholesome thing because he had no idea what it was until after the fact. He just thought I just came up with a clever name.”

Michin debuted the move back in January during a singles bout with Piper Niven, which you can find embedded above.

Earlier this year, Michin revealed that WWE took marijuana off their banned substance list. You can read more about that here.
