Ember Moon Discusses Total Divas, Booker T, Her Finisher And Who Her Character Is

Ember Moon recently sat down for an interview wth The New York Post. Below are highlights from that interview

Where did the genesis of the Ember Moon character come from?

To be honest, the qualities about myself that I always … I'll say used to feel ashamed of. I used to be very secluded. I used to just kind of chill out on my own, but then when the opportunity presents itself, I just like fire up and just do it. I always felt that there was a lot of rejection thrown at me outside of wrestling and I always overcame that every single time and I just won't be told "No" and I won't stay down and that's just amplified through Ember Moon. Man, it's crazy. It is me times one thousand.

What was it like eventually being trained by Booker T ?

He's kind of the person that started telling me to branch out and to start going to different states and just make a name for myself on the independent scene. It's crazy because his knowledge extends well past what you guys have seen of him on WWE TV and I will forever be thankful for that. He's the reason why the Eclipse is off the top rope.

Were you trying to do it from the middle rope before?

So, when I first started doing the Eclipse, I'm terrified of heights, I was doing it on the middle rope. And, Booker was the one who talked me into doing it on the top rope and it just worked so much better because I had more time to adjust and spin.

You talked about yourself being kind of a shy person. When you've seen the success of Total Divas, is that something that would be hard for you or would you look forward to the opportunity if presented with it?

You see everything. Me being the reclusive person that I am, I don't know if that's something I would do. I've been on Total Divas a couple of times in a guest role and I just don't know. I really don't. I'm not saying I would say "No." I just don't know.
