Zayda Steel wants to be like The Miz.
Zayda Steel is one of many WWE ID prospects. Recently, she appeared on Conversations with The Wrestling Classic. During her conversation, she spoke about how she feels as though she is a TV wrestler trapped on the independent circuit.
Furthermore, she used Miz as an example of somebody who may not do a lot between the ropes but shines in so many other ways as a character. She says she wants to pattern her career after his.
"I literally am a TV wrestler trapped on the indies. I always, that's how I feel. I don't do much. Sometimes, like, my match with Marcus [Mathers], for example, we had like, a super indie style, like PWG-esque match, but that was more so because I wanted to do something different. I wanted to adapt to his style with like the Poison Ranas and all that. But, yeah, I don't do much. I don't need to do much. I don't want to get hurt on the indies, one. Two, you brought up The Miz, which is a perfect example of someone that, in the ring, really does not do a lot, but yet, he has his own talk show, which I would love my own talk show. The reality show he has. So there's a reason why The Miz, his career is, I feel like, what I've tried to base my career off of.
"Again, being on the indies, I'm not trying to tear anybody else down, because at the end of the day, do you. If you want to do your crazy 450s and all that, have at it. I've seen people get injured just doing the basics. So hey, there's no right or wrong way. Me personally, I just like the promos, the character aspects, the hokiness, sometimes, of my wrestling. So why would I try to be a technical wrestler when that's not even what I like?"
Elsewhere in the interview, Steel reflected on the opportunity she's had to train with Natalya. Read more here.
