Blake Monroe Says Fans Care About Storylines, Not Flashy Moves In The Ring

Blake Monroe is making it clear that she isn’t trying to win fans over with nonstop high-risk moves, and she believes storytelling is what really keeps people invested in wrestling.

While speaking with ReviewSTL, Monroe was asked whether she prefers telling stories in the ring or stealing the show with athletic moments. The question gave her a chance to explain how she approaches matches and what she believes actually makes fans remember a moment long after the show ends.

Instead of focusing on flashy offense or constant high-risk spots, Monroe explained that her biggest career moments have come from strong storytelling and character work. She made it clear that while she takes pride in her in-ring ability, she doesn’t believe doing risky moves over and over is what makes a match meaningful.

“I think you can steal the show with a story. I mean, if you look at my career and my career highlights, I think all of them have come from a story. And I think I'm a fantastic wrestler in the ring. I don't do 25 moonsaults or death defying stunts, but when I go out there I give 110% of what I do. And I feel like my in ring marries my character perfectly.

" I just think the most important part of wrestling is telling a story. If you think about the people on top right now and the WrestleMania main events we've had recently in the past sort of 10 years, you know, Cody and Roman, that was like a two year long epics. I mean it was incredible. If you like look at John Cena when I grew up too, like the stories I would watch when like Jeff Hardy finally won the world title, I mean those are the moments you remember. It's the stories. Nobody cares if you can do some gymnastics. At least I don't.”

Monroe’s comments reflect a mindset shared by many performers who believe emotional investment matters more than big moves. By pointing to long-running rivalries and major title moments from the past, she made it clear that storytelling is what sticks with fans, not just what happens physically inside the ring.

With wrestling constantly evolving and more performers pushing the limits physically, Monroe’s stance stands out as a reminder that memorable stories still drive the biggest reactions and moments in the industry.
