Shy wrestlers

[Gummydavidson]

From someone who suffers from shyness myself I'm quite interested to know if any wrestlers in the business are bashful.

Portia Perez is apparently quite shy.

Such a severe crutch. Your job is to be something special in front of everybody....but you're afraid of them all?

Some people get swept away in such things though. They "become" who/whatever and it doesn't confront them anymore.

Wrestling is ridiculous. Some of the sweetest people are the most detestable heels and some of the facey faces are terrible human beings.

Plus, it is kind of hard to truly happen because of this. If your job and passion is to head out into a ring in your underwear and pretend to fight another person in their underwear while people are watching and cheering you on and you see nothing unreasonable about that statement at all, you can't be THAT shy by definition.

I'm introverted and shy as hell.
Before my matches I tend to almost lose my mind with nerves and shit
It make doing it very stressful
But as soon as I'm through the curtin it goes away

A lot of shy wrestlers have more of a problem shaking hands with other wrestlers before a show, than actually performing. IE The Young Bucks, apparently they were just shy in dealing with RVD, and in turned out to be a whole "respect" thing.

Some dude's are very shy and reserved behind the scenes but when they hit the lights, they become totally different guys.

Like Daniel Bryan.

Portia Perez is very shy, but is ok if you catch her at the right moment. At the last SHIMMER tapings, she obviously wasn't feeling it. She told this guy that did manage to get some conversation out of her that she "hates these things" (afterpartys) and "they make me come to them." But then the next night, she was in a great mood. Smiling, laughing, taking pictures with people and being super social.

Keeping with the SHIMMER theme, Saraya Knight is actually really quiet and soft spoken. I've chatted with her a few times and was really surprised by it. She keeps to her circle of people and that's about it. Very surprising when you consider her character.

And, for the record, I don't mean for either of these to reflect badly on them. No harm intended.

I get the feeling Primo is very shy. Dude doesn't have a twitter and I would have never known he's married if not for noticing the ring on his finger a couple of times. Plus, he's been in WWE five years and he's done about... two interviews in English. He seems far more dedicated to wrestling than Carlito but he doesn't have the aura of a celebrity, certainly. That goes for a lot of guys.

Then again, it's very easy to confuse an introvert as a shy person which I may be doing.

Bret Hart apparently was when he first came to WWF. He wore the shades originally to hide his nervousness during interviews.

Bret Hart described Pedro Morales as shy in his book.
