A.J. Lee Interview: Talks Growing Up Poor, WWE
Source: The NY Daily News
On working at a Pathmark supermarket and being a janitor: “I liked being a janitor more than that. You’re on your feet all day. People kind of look right through you.”
On her upbringing in New Jersey: “I didn’t have the easiest time growing up; it’s no secret. We were just poor.”
Her obstacles in selling herself as a WWE worker since she doesn’t have the typical Diva mold: “Selling the package as me was really hard. I’m not the sexy girl. I’m more youthful and innocent, the girl who wears jeans and T-shirts and sneakers. Fans have accepted that I’m a tomboy. There’s a different group of people who find that attractive.”
Regarding her fans in the NY/Brooklyn area: “There’s something about the fans in that area. They’re more extreme; they’re smarter. Every time we go somewhere in the tristate, there are people who remember me from six years ago. It’s like a homecoming.”
