Harley Cameron on Her Praise of “Timeless” Toni Storm For Being A “Revolutionary” In Women’s Wrestling & Words Of Encouragement and Support MJF Gave To Her For Her AEW Career

A recent episode of the Off The Ropes podcast featured Harley Cameron as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Cameron’s thoughts about her praise of “Timeless” Toni Storm for her impact as a “revolutionary” in women’s wrestling.

“Another perfect example I can look at as someone I look up to greatly is, for example, Toni Storm, who is just the most sensational character. To me, is like a revolutionary person in women’s wrestling and I think about how she’s such an ass-kicker in the ring but then, every time you watch her, she’s making you laugh, she’s making you feel something and I’m like, you know what?

That is what makes people connect with you. It’s just that when you get in that ring, you need to kick ass.’ When I look at all the greats and the people that I’ve looked up to, I feel like there’s so much power in — you don’t have to be, ‘I’m the tough guy!
