It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed.

We have Becky Lynch. Welcome. Thank you for having me. Becky, I'm not going to lie. For some reason, I thought you were going to be a lot bigger. Oh, right. On TV, you look like you're super muscular. Like, I thought you could lift up every man in the room and throw us out the roof.

Right. Who says she can't? I've been bulking. You've been bulking? Dynamite comes in small packages. I don't know what I'm saying, but I have been bulking. Nobody's noticed. So I just keep telling everybody that I'm bulking, hoping that somebody's going to say,

what the hell is bulking? Getting big, man. Putting weight on. Bulking up. Muscles. So you've been big backing. Yeah. Yeah.

Bulking season. You know, we're coming up to WrestleMania. I'm trying to get them. And biceps. You can tell who don't work out in here, right, Becky? Becky biceps. That's what that's called. You can tell who don't work out by asking you that question, right?

No, I said bulking because she doesn't look like she's bulking. Doesn't look like she's getting bigger. You said, what is bulking? No, because she said she's been buloken and i don't see any muscles so i'm asking what is what is boken well you know i'm covered off it's covered up underneath this well welcome biceps be bulging where are you from i'm from ireland oh you're from ireland okay i hear that have you been no no i hear it i hear it no i never been oh it's a lovely spot you gotta go okay yeah i want to know, why the name Becky Lynch?

Because they ain't need a real name. How do you feel about that? So when you come into WWE, they always ask you for a different name, right? So they can copyright and all those things. And so when I was signed, I was off. I came in WWE and I had no business being there. Everybody looked, they were giant, they were muscular. They looked like superstars and I looked like just little average Rebecca Quinn.

And so I loved wrestling my whole life and i'd worked and my journey was that like i had i had by the time i was 19 i was main eventing shows in japan and around america and around um canada and i'd given it up and i actually just came back to wwe through chance i was working as a stunt woman but i actually wasn't a stunt woman i kind of blagged my way on set because i was an actor and I was just taking an opportunity. And then I went back to wrestling school. The person that was teaching the wrestling class was like, you should go for a tryout because I think you'd get in WWE. And that's how I ended up in WWE.

It's a very long story to anyway, to get to the point of they asked us for a list of names and so i gave them a long list of names to which they came back and said no none of these lists none of these on the list and then they remember some of them oh gosh i remember there was one there was like i tried to use part of my name there was like becky something becky something becks something quinn quinn something qu Cullen, I think was one of them. And... They just straight threw Lynch in there. And so they came back with... Then I threw out another list,

and then they came back, and one of them was like Madeline. And I was like, that doesn't sound very tough. And then... I don't ever remember putting Lynch on the thing but one of them was Becky Lynch and I was like okay well I like

having Becky because your name's Rebecca and then like you know one day I won't be doing this and I'll have I'll have my name still and Lynch I was like well eh don't like that but um we didn't like it yeah i was like yeah but but i didn't i didn't feel like i could uh say anything like

that i could uh that i had the authority to to to say can i have can can i go back for more names? I don't want to sound like I hang people. And it's also like a common Irish name. So it's like maybe that's... You know what I mean? And so it's a common Irish name. So it's like okay that kind of ties in with the Irishness.

But so because of that I've always relied on a great moniker. So hence there's the man. There's big time Bex. There's the last kicker. And there was Becky Two Belts. Coming up, there is going to be bestseller Bex. You ever hear Ply's song?

Ply's song, Becky? No. Wait, have I heard it? Yeah, it's Ply's. It's an older song called Becky give me that Becky oh yeah yes I've definitely heard that actually there was a guy called Chris hero and like once they said that this was my name then he played the song yeah yeah yeah he's like you know that song and I was like no what's it about

and then he told me what it was about and I was like oh well you know what it's about now I know what it's about I'm saying do you know what's it about? And then he told me what it was about. And I was like, oh, wow. You know what it's about? Now I know what it's about. I'm saying, do you know what it's about? Yeah, I know what it's about. You know what it's about? What's it about? It's about, you know, getting down.

Okay. There's a morning show, right? It's actually about somebody going down, but same difference. Yeah, yeah, yeah, same difference. But Becky is here to promote her new book, Becky Lynch. It's an about somebody going down, but same difference. Yeah, yeah, yeah, same difference. But Becky is here to promote her new book, Becky Lynch. It's an autobiography. Becky Lynch, the man, not your average, average girl. What made you decide to write a memoir now?

So I always wanted to write a book. My dad was always on me for writing everything down. And when I became a big wrestling fan, my my dude was Mick Foley you remember Mick I loved Mick and and he's the person who really got me into wrestling so he had written a book he had written it himself and it would have you ever it was such a great documentary though such a great book such a great documentary too I used to watch that on repeat when I was and so it was always kind of in the front of my head that one day I wanted to write a document or

write a biography and so then the deal fell on my lap and I got to work and here we are. Why the title The Man, not your average girl? Because I'm the man. I know that's right. And so around 2018 i adopted

the moniker like i said i always like to have a moniker um i adopted the moniker the man because in our business in most businesses right the the top dog the person who is of outstanding ability has historically been referred to as the man. And so this was me claiming that I am the man now. She bring all today. I'm the man Lynch everything. I know. That's right.

She said, listen, I'm breaking the rules. You got into a huge head injury that that kept you away from wrestling for a while. So what made you want to go back after all that? The trials, the tribulations tribulations distress and all that so i like i said so i started when i was 15 years old and i started because you know it was just up to no good i was drinking i was smoking i was you know not focused i was kind of all over the place and and i found out they were opening a wrestling school in ireland and i loved watching wrestling, but I never even thought about becoming a wrestler.

Like, that seemed like a faraway dream. And so I went down to this school, and they didn't even have a wrestling ring. They had six blue padded mats on the ground, and I fell in love with it. I was like, oh, this is the best thing I've ever done. And I was terrible. You was beating your brother's ass.

And I was terrible. I was so bad. I didn't know what I was doing. I wasn't athletic. the best thing i've ever done you know he's terrible he was beating your brother's ass and i was terrible i was i was so bad i didn't i didn't know what i was doing i wasn't athletic i had failed p but but damn i fell jim i don't know and i was there yeah i was there i was present whatever i was just bad but for the first time in my life, I wanted to be good at something. And so wrestling had afforded me one, like a dream, but also a focus. And then I left it. And when I left it, I kept trying to find things that I wanted to do. Like I became a personal trainer. And I was like, yeah, I'm not really into that. And then my mom was a flight attendant.

And so she asked if I wanted to be a flight attendant so then I became a flight attendant I wasn't into that and then uh you know and then I would do different things like I ran a Pilates studio and I um did a teaching English as a foreign language course and like just all of these random things that I thought maybe maybe this will be my passion you know and then I started an acting um an acting course and I loved that and then I went to acting college and I liked that and then and then from that then I ended up doing the stunt work which then led me back to WWE but in that entire time frame like I kept feeling like there was something that I was meant to do in wrestling, that I had this passion and just a spark for it. And I don't even know what that spark was because I wasn't necessarily the greatest, but I maybe thought about it differently and I just had a love for it.

And I felt tremendous guilt for leaving it and for feeling like it had given me so much and I had left it. And then when I got the opportunity, it was like, oh, yes, this is what I'm meant to do. As a woman, who introduced you to wrestling? Who introduced you to wrestling? My brother. Your brother? Yeah, my brother. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He was, so I always remember being in the house. You know, I remember like watching it when we were kids, but then falling out of it. And then when the Attitude Era happened and Mick and Stunkhole and The Rock and everybody was so hot. It was so great. But still, I was stuck in that,

oh, wrestling's fake kind of thing. Like, I was the worst. And then when I would see Mick Foley on TV, I was stuck in that oh wrestling's fake kind of thing like I was the worst and then when I would see Mick Foley on TV I was like oh this guy's

really captivating so then I would come back and I would watch and then I saw Lita for the first time she was so cool

and yeah and then I was hooked and then The Rock and then Has The Rock been good for business coming back? Yeah it's been great it's been great

anytime The Rock's involved in anything I'd love to see that Yeah, it's been great. It's been great. Anytime The Rock's involved in anything. I'd love to see that. Yeah, it's been awesome. And he's always been so great to me and encouraging in my career. And to have him back and watch him do his thing has been amazing. How often do you practice? Gosh, practice?

Well, we're on the road 52 weeks a year. So we're in the ring. We're doing live events. So we might have TV. We have two TV shows a week. We got wrong. We got smacked down. But in the interim, we have live events,

shows that only happen for the house, like a live theater, if you will. And they happen on Saturday and Sunday. So I'm on the road every week doing those live events. And that's more practice than, say, practice, you know. So I work out every day. And then when we go, you learn more from being in front of a crowd than you ever would wrestling around in a gym. Have you ever been starstruck?

Like you're a match and you're wrestling somebody that maybe you're a fan of. And do you ever get stuck sometimes? Like, wow, I'm here. No, I don't think so. No? No, I don't think that's ever happened. No. No.

Well, you know, because I've done promos with Rock and John Cena. And that's been very cool. Like there's been a moment of, oh, my gosh, what am I doing? You know? But never while you're in the fight, though. No, no, no, no. Because then you have to just carry on with business and then you've got to be the man. So you have a baby.

I do. Yes. I do. How was that? How was motherhood and being a pro wrestler? How was that? It's the best. It's a balancing act.

Yeah. It's a balancing act. And one that I don't think you ever really figure out. You know, you just do your best and you get on with it. But she's incredible and she comes everywhere with us. Does she? How old is she? She's three.

Well, she has to though because Seth is a wrestler too. Yeah. Like you said, y'all are on the road. Yeah. Yeah. So it's cool being able to do that and bring her everywhere with us. And we're lucky we're in a good position. We have a bus and our bus driver's amazing

and then his wife is our nanny so she looks after our baby while we're working and while we're in the building. And it's like she has an extra set of auntie and uncle, you know, and so it's a big family adventure and then we're always, you know, we're in the ring every night. But during the day, we're looking for zoos and for kids museums. One day you got to do it with like you're losing.

And then all of a sudden your daughter pops out of nowhere and helps mommy. You just got to do that one. I seen a video the other day. It was real wrestling. A little sister came in and helped her brother. But you got to do that one time. Like when you're losing and then here comes the three-year-old with a toy or something. Is your country falling apart?

Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this.

It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition.

Why can't I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help. We still have the off-road portion to go.

What was going on in the world at the time made this fight as important that anything else is going on on the planet. My grandfather laid on the ropes and let George Foreman basically just punch himself out. Welcome to Rumble, the story of a world in transformation. The 60s and prior to that, you couldn't call a person black. And how we arrived at this peak moment. I don't have to be what you want me to be. We all came from the continent of Africa. Listen to Rumble, Ali, Foreman, and the Soul of 74 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

...to rock over the head and you win or whatever, baby, I don't know. That would be a great TV moment. Oh, that's incredible. You want to rock, rock bottoms the baby, then what? Jesus Christ. When you rock bottoms a little three-year-old, then what? Oh, Lord. Then he'd really be a heel, yeah.

How did y'all talk, wrestling in in the house or like when y'all oh yeah okay okay oh yeah yeah yeah okay yeah it's not one of those things that's off limits we like it actually i think it helps us so it's fun yeah yeah it's fun yeah having a little wrestle baby because then you can understand and also you know i think most people would think oh you have two wrestler parents they're gonna put the foot down she she rules the roost she's the boss yeah she is the boss she is the boss yeah i love that she she runs a tight ship what happens when the baby gets a little older though because then once once she starts to start school it'll be a little more complicated

right these are conversations we need to have yeah we keep the things that we keep putting off until we have to actually deal with them absolutely right now we don't have to deal with them maybe next year we have to deal with them we should probably start thinking about them you should but it but it's it's sometimes a little overwhelming so we're like oh well let's just at least you know she'll never be bullied that is fact one should what well gosh because her mom's the man she'll be the boy crushed down on somebody you know gosh but isn't that the thing now you know like you you you'd hope that but aren't we kind of especially in this world of social media, aren't we all kind of getting bullied all the time? Absolutely, yes, ma'am.

You know, and it's a weird thing, especially she's quasi in the public eye. Like we try to protect her and keep her out a little bit, but just people be ruthless on that thing, you know. Did it bother you mentally? I just try to avoid. Really. I try not to take stock in either, the good or the bad.

Because if you take too much stock in the good, then you have to take stock in the bad. So I try to... And also I think when you're taking in all of these opinions all the time, it affects your art. And I look at what we do as art it's my art

and i don't want other opinions um blocking me and me not trying something because somebody on the internet says that's stupid you know what i mean and i think somewhere it lives in you if you read it and you i was gonna ask you know what one thing i would say about wrestling fans is like they die hard right they are follow you write your letters i'm sure go state to state have you ever had a awkward encounter because i know some of these they'll pop up at your house your hotel your bus i i know it's it's crazy when i see wrestling fans i've had a few yeah i've had a Yeah. You got a stalker right now. The way I'm looking at you, like, yeah, you got a stalker right now.

I don't know. I don't think so right now. But I've had some things that have gone a little crazy. Police have been called. And, yeah. And would you ever put your hands on somebody? Like, just clothesline somebody one day? They come too close and wonder, boom! Well, you know, it depends. It depends what happens.

Wouldn't rule it out. Yeah. Gotcha. The book is not your average, average girl. How do you define average? Gosh, I don't know. What is average, I suppose. I think that's the other question.

I never think that there's a normal. Like, what is normal? But I think average is the baseline, right? Like, it's the the standard what is it the standard girl is five oh no five five four five four or something yeah because the average guy is what five seven i think so yeah so something like that so you know it's it's it's it's it's metrics that you can measure you know what's the average weight you know so i think i was i was always in that in that average average line like average weight average height average intellect

probably average grades you know um but but i've been able to carve out this this quite on average life for myself and and and i suppose that's the message of the book is I suppose especially in a world where it's superstars, right, like we call them superstars and so you expect people to be superstars and look phenomenal in a certain

way and be a certain way I wanted to show that you can you don't have to have all that you just have to have a dream and work for it when did you realize you weren't average? well

probably around no I don't know I think gosh I don't know I think I've felt like Gosh. I don't know. I think I've felt like I had this gift for wrestling.

And it's not even a physical gift. It's a mental gift. It's the way that I think about it and this spark and this passion. And I suppose that might not be average. But in terms of everything else, I think I'm just living this human experience that we all are, that I'm trying to document and communicate. And I think that's also helped with wrestling, is that I feel much like everybody feels, right?

Like you have your doubts about yourself, you have your insecurities, and you're constantly fighting to overcome them. And so sometimes then my opponents become those things that I'm trying to overcome. And a lot of the time the story is me versus me, you know? And I think that's the bigger opponent what i want to ask about uh you talked about women getting this you know the same salary as

their male counterparts how difficult was it for you you know um because i know it must have been a fight to to show that look i'm just as talented i'm people come to see me just as much how difficult was it for you to make sure that you got what you deserved as far as financial? So that, I mean, the last contract I signed was three years ago. And I was coming back after having my kid. But when I left, I left on top. And, you know, it's one of those things where sometimes in a male-dominated sport, we're historically like, thank you, thank you, thank you for that.

I don't want to make any weight. But it was one of those things where I was like, no, I deserve this. Like there's no reason that I should not be getting paid the same as a top guy or anybody. But because of my gender, no, I've been able, you can put me in any main event.

You can put me in any main event and it makes sense. And I've proved that time and time again so compensate me fairly please you know but it is I think it is that thing of like of of of having to ask for more and I think we're like oh I'm so grateful that you're paying me more than we used to be paid but still I need money you know so you're paying me more than we used to be paid. But still I need more. So you're always kind of pushing that barrier. And it's come a long way.

And I love to see it. Yeah. And I would say just as a voice for women, don't stop doing that. That's really, that's good that you're doing that. You just recently gained your citizenship. How does it feel to be an American citizen? It feels great feels great you can tell you no no no no no but so so look no no i so i always wanted i came to new york when i was six years old and i was i was in

love with it i love i loved it i loved it and you know i watched american tv that's what i grew up on american movies i always wanted to come over here and i felt like if i could come over here I loved it. And, you know, I watched American TV. That's what I grew up on, American movies. I always wanted to come over here. And I felt like if I could come over here, then I could be whoever I wanted to be. It didn't have to be this average girl. You know, I could do more. I could do more with my life.

And I've been able to live my dream. And I've been able to have my amazing family and live beyond my dreams because I have an incredible hot husband who I definitely wouldn't have gotten in Ireland. Man, you just shitted on every man in Ireland.

No, I didn't mean that. Very handsome men. Very handsome men over there. They're lovely lads. But they didn't have him, you know? You know, this fine, handsome Armenian lad. And because of that, then I wouldn't have had my daughter. Yeah.

And so I am so proud to be Irish. I am so proud of my heritage and everything that comes along with being Irish. The banter and the storytelling. But America has afforded me this amazing life and

my amazing family. And to be able to marry those two has been great. I love it. Are you scared of Rhea Ripley? No. Jesus. She was talking a lot of smack. I'm not scared of anybody.

Don't look at me like that. I'm scared of you. I'm scared. I'm scared. Are you distracted though? Because next week is WrestleMania 40. Are you on a book tour right now? I am on a book tour. But I can do it all because I'm the man.

You better go. I can do it all. I can be on a book tour. I can be a full-time mother and wife and be a full-time performer. I can do it all. And still beat Rhea Ripley.

And still beat Rhea Ripley. She mentioned your daughter. She did mention my daughter. What did she say about the movie? She said that she's going to leave a little bit of me so that

I can be at home watching her while my daughter calls her mommy. Wow. That wasn't in the script. Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah. That fired me up.

It fired me up a lot. You don't mention my daughter, but also I've gotten to do a lot of things that I am proud of but none of it compares to being a mother and being her mother and so yeah you don't mess with that you better be higher yeah I will and I did I did

one I yeah I smacked her little boy toy Dominic Mysterio punched him right in the face. Great punch. Great punch. Go look it up. It was a great punch. I'm surprised he got up from it.

So you guys are not friends? No, no, no. I mean, just other wrestlers or other wrestlers you have friends but you just don't F with her? No. If you see her in the street you might two-piece her.

Might, yeah. Does it help or hurt to take all that emotion in the ring? Does it help? Or hurt to take all that emotion in the ring? Does it hurt? Does it help or hurt to take all that emotion in the ring? Does it help? Or hurt to take all that emotion in the ring? Does it hurt? Does it help or hurt? Or help or hurt?

Depends what you're talking about. Does it help to sell tickets? Yes. Does it hurt emotionally? Absolutely. But I think the best stories and things that people relate to are the things that are real. So I think you need to be courageous enough to put them out there because that's the they're the things that are going to resonate with people. And they're the things that are going to entertain people, too. You know, and that's what people want.

That's why people watch wrestling. You want to want the distraction from everyday life. You want to live vicariously through these characters or forget about your own stuff. That's the great thing about wrestling. Has everything that's been going on with Vince McMahon, him stepping away from the organization, has that distracted the organization in any way? No, I don't think so.
