Bull Nakano Comments on Her WWE Hall of Fame Induction & Reports of Giulia Joining WWE

Tokyo Sports held a recent interview with Japanese wrestling legend Bull Nakano. One of the topics discussed included Nakano’s thoughts about her reaction when she first learned that she would be getting inducted into WWE’s Hall of Fame as part of this year’s class.

“On January 16th, I was asked, it has been decided that I will be inducted into the Hall of Fame, but, ‘Do you intend to receive the award?’ ‘Of course I do!’ And cried with joy. I was told that it would be a top secret until the announcement, and I tried not to meet anyone (laughs).”

Nakano also gave her thoughts about the recent reports and rumors of Giulia joining WWE later this year.

“You (Giulia) should definitely go. It will definitely expand your world… I think they’ll use her in a good way.

When she came to STARDOM and greeted me… who would have imagined the Giulia of today? I can see that she is like a chameleon, changing herself in various situations to cope and move on. That’s why I’m sure she can handle it over there as well. It’s scary how much you’ll grow if you go.”
