Which divas and superstars did you look up to as a child Paige replies that she was a big Bull Nakano fan adding that she uses a variation of her submission as well as Lita, talking about how she dressed up as both of them. As far as the men go, she says that she was obsessed with Stone Cold because of how cool and consistent his character was, as well as being a fan of Rikishi. Did you start the divas revolution? Paige is hesitant to take credit for it, so Austin switches gears and asks her what she thinks has been the best thing about it, and why? She likes that theyve been given more time to tell a story and showcase what they can do, adding that Hunter was the one who really started it when it came to the women in NXT, giving them 20 minutes for matches which was unheard of at the time. Austin follows up by asking if she opened the door for the other girls like Charlotte and Sasha Banks, and she says she may have opened the door but praises Sara Del Ray for the amazing job shes done training the women, also citing Fit Finlay and Dean Malenko for their contributions with the women. This was easily the least entertaining of the Network podcast interviews thus far, and a lot of that can probably be chalked up to Paige being nervous. She's appeared on Talk Is Jericho and done tons of media but you could tell that being on with Austin was really getting to her, because her responses with filled with a lot of nervous laughter and sentences that randomly trailed off. Paige is a likable woman and a great performer but that wasn't the best environment for her. It's still worth checking out, especially if you're a fan, but if you're familiar with her background you're probably not going to learn anything new.
