AEW star Julia Hart spoke with The Takedown about several topics, including moving away from her cheerleader gimmick.
Hart said, “I think I just needed to take myself more seriously. I think in the cheerleader role, I looked at the cheerleader as like an annoying preppy girl because I was, you know, being a cheerleader, all of high school that’s how we were always looked at, you know? Just the annoying preppy girls, but I was never like that.”
On never seeing herself as the bubbly cheerleader type:
“I was never smiling, I always wore baggy clothes and a jacket with a hood over my head in high school, so I looked at the cheerleader thing as a whole different thing. But when I got to AEW, everyone’s like, ‘Oh, you’re so cute, you’re so bubbly do this, this, and this,’ so then it was really hard for me to be aggressive.”
