Shayna Baszler spoke with Fightful Select during WrestleMania Week. When asked by Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp asked, Shayna mentioned technical catch wrestling. Baszler said she came up through the Billy Robinson and Josh Barnett tree.

Shayna spoke about training with Billy Robinson. She said it was done on a High School Wrestling mat instead of a wrestling ring when training with Robinson. Shayna also mentioned that she would get whacked by Robinson's walking cane.

Baszler would tell us about how she remembers Billy Robinson. She said before she gets in the ring, you will see her point to the sky before going up the steps, and it's always a reminder. Shayna said if Billy watched your work and nodded his head at you, it meant you

did well.

We asked Shayna about her interest in shoot fighting. She said that she subscribes to a lot of martial arts channels. Shayna talked about her interest in breaking down fights and strategies. She said what separates her from others is that she can also teach MMA and spoke about how everything in Pro Wrestling has fighting reason tied to it. Shayna said that she could bridge the gap between MMA and Pro Wrestling.
