AEW star Anna Jay has been the subject of many memes ever since she debuted her new catchphrase: “Fat Ass and a Bad Attitude.”
The JAS member discussed the AEW women’s division During a recent interview on Under The Ring, the JAS member discusses coming up with the catchphrase and how she new it was going to create some buzz, whether it was good or bad.
I kind of knew, if I was going to say it, that it would create some sort of buzz, whether bad or good. I thought it was on brand with the JAS because everything is kind of ridiculous in a great way. I thought it fit and I was like, ‘You know what, people sometimes say this kind of things to me, why don’t I just say it and see where it goes.’ It just went with it. I thought about it saying it for a little while, but I went back and forth, ‘I don’t know if I want to say it,’ because it’s not really me, personally, but it works with JAS, so I decided to say it and that’s how it happened.
Staying on the subject, Jay explains why the catchphrase is actually a positive thing because a lot of women could relate.
That’s one of the things I was thinking when I was talking to other people about saying it, ‘This is great. A lot of women, I feel they can relate, and guys too.’ Even guys backstage are like, ‘I want this shirt.’ I have Daddy Magic [Matt Menard] wearing it backstage. I thought about it and it’s a positive thing. If I’m going to say it about myself, other people will want to say it about themselves too.
Elsewhere in the interview, Jay showers praise on Chris Jericho and BJ Whitmer for helping make the division better.
Definitely, the obvious one is Chris Jericho. I get to go to him every week and get feedback, whether it’s promos or wrestling. Another person would be BJ Whitmer. He has been incredible with the women in AEW. Everyone would say the same things I’m about to say.
Speaking just on Whitmer, Jay says that she appreciates the effort he has put in on a weekly basis to help all the girls, especially herself.
He’s been incredible and someone who has helped us a ton and I really appreciate him. There are tons of people that give feedback week to week, but Chris and BJ are the two big ones right now that have really helped me pretty much every week. Yeah, he’s incredible. Pretty much every woman on the roster, he’s worked with at least once. He’s the best and someone who is very great to go to.
