Sasha Banks Talks Creating Characters And Owning Her Own IP
“The Boss” is one of WWE’s most notable characters in recent WWE memory.
The gimmick took a while to perfect but once Banks perfected the gimmick, she took off as one of the leaders of the WWE women’s revolution. Banks is currently suspended from the promotion indefinitely due to walking out of the company earlier this year.
Speaking on Ahch-To Radio, Banks talked about creating different characters and perfecting them.
“You always want to create characters to portray and live by. You’re [host] a character right now. I’m sure once you get off your headsets, you’re someone completely different. We’re always portraying different characters in every different moment of our time. For me, it’s really just owning my own IP [Intellectual Property] and owning the character behind the character and really defining, who is the character that is playing the character. It’s really just finding yourself. When it comes to even wrestling, that’s a character that I come up with and I portray myself and you have your writers coming in and giving a little more details of what they see for it. It’s really when it comes to characters in your life, it’s what you see for that character because only you know how you’re going to play it and only you know how you see the vision of that character,”
