Hi guys, welcome back to Post Run Hi. Today we are joined by Ashley Flair. She is a

W.W.E star, also known as Charlotte Flair, and she is the daughter of Rick Flair, who is a

WWE legend. I am so excited for you to listen to today's episode. To be totally honest, I knew very little

about WWE going into today's run and then sit down conversation with Ashley. But I have to say,

I was so excited to be able to chat with her, learn all about the world of WWE, and just learn

about her in general. She is such an interesting

person. She's so kind and her energy is seriously contagious. I think you guys are going to be

so inspired and motivated coming out of this conversation. Ashley and I also both share a traumatic

injury. She tore her ACL last year. I've toured my ACL twice. So it was nice to be able

to connect a bit on that during our run and then also during the sit down chat. But anyways,

I hope you guys are excited to get to know Ashley or Charlotte, whatever name you want to call her.

And without further ado, let's get into today's episode.

This is an I-Heart podcast.

101. Yeah, we need a little wrestling one-on-one. But first, let's start here because publicly, well, you go by both Ashley and Charlotte, but your stage name is Charlotte Flair.

Stage name, Charlotte Flair, or the queen. And you grew up in North Carolina. Yes. So that's where we're getting the Charlotte from. Were there any other names in the running before you chose Charlotte? I pitched a few names. I pitched Elizabeth Reed. I loved Miss Elizabeth. And then my little brother's name was Reed. But they were like, no, your dad's from Charlotte. We'll name you Charlotte. Because my dad is Rick Flair in the wrestling world. He was like one of the greatest of all time. So it was Rick Flair from Charlotte, North Carolina. So when I started, it was like, oh, Charlotte, the name of Charlotte. And the jokes on them. Yeah. And what is the importance within the world of wrestling and WWE of having a stage name? Like, why go by Charlotte and not Ashley? Because I love the name of Ashley. No, I mean, I could have gone by Ashley Flair, to be honest. It's just at that time, I don't think it was as common. And I think probably being Rick's

kid, it was like, oh, we're going to give her like a stage name, like not be Ashley Flair. Because I,

when I first started, I wasn't Charlotte Flair. I was just Charlotte. They didn't
