Thekla Says AEW Presentation Matches Her Vision: I’m A Picky B***h
Thekla comments on her presentation in AEW.
Thekla is one of the newest women on the AEW roster. In her short time on AEW TV, she has already worked her way up to being a part of the AEW Women’s World Championship match at AEW All Out: Toronto. She will compete for the title against Jamie Hayter, Kris Statlander, and “Timeless” Toni Storm.
Part of what has propelled her to superstardom is her distinctive presentation. Speaking with Haley Miller of VICE, Thekla praised her unique entrance, which features an upside-down camera shot and the theme song produced by Mikey Rukus for her.
“Somebody in creative or in production, one of the ladies there, I think it was her idea, and she pitched it. ‘What if we do that upside-down camera?’ When I saw it, I was like, ‘That is gold.’ We gotta expand on that one. I think that’s a beautiful touch; I could not be happier, and I’m a picky b***h. I will send things back that I don’t think are perfect. The music is such a banger. Every time I hear it, it gets me pumped. It’s really important to me.”
As for her inclusion in the upcoming championship match, she says she feels like she has made it as a main event competitor in her short time at AEW.
“I have confidence. When you let go and you still keep on working and being positive and showing up and showing out, that’s when opportunity comes knocking like a motherf**ker. I try to not get too excited about it either. I’m very excited about having that match, but I try not to think about, “Oh, I’m in the main event picture now, I made it!
“I’m very excitable. I’ve been in places where I started to believe that wrestling is real. Almost like a method actor that just f**king loses herself in her role. That’s happened to me before in Japan, and it was very scary. So I just try to protect myself from reading comments online or people raving. I’m just me, I’m just a crazy girl from Austria who ended up here now. I’m just trying to have fun and bring that gold home.”
