10 Things We Learned From Becky Lynch On Stone Cold’s Broken Skull Sessions Podcast

10. The Influence Tough Enough Had On Her

All of Austin's interviews tend to run through things chronologically, and this one was no different. So, the early minutes were devoted to Becky's first forays into the world of wrestling. Specifically, Steve wanted to know what prompted her to keep on plugging away despite initial struggles.

WWE Tough Enough, basically.

Becks revealed that she was inspired by the show's never-say-die spirit. She'd failed PE at school, and "couldn't put one foot in front of the other" even when learning bumps under Finn Bálor's watch. It was rough, but she kept repeating little words of encouragement she'd heard on the faux-reality show.

It's amazing that Tough Enough inspired someone to eventually become one of WWE's biggest stars. Even more remarkably, Lynch was never part of the cast for the program! She watched the first season in 2001, and was motivated by the fact that others were struggling just as much as she was.
