Charlotte Flair will go down in WWE history as one of the most important women's Superstars. The daughter of the legendary Ric Flair, Charlotte paved a path for herself rather than using her father's influence to get to the top of WWE.

In an interview with Metro, the ten-time women's champion revealed that WWE did not want her to do the things that were associated with her dad. Charlotte said that she couldn't use the figure-four submission hold or the "woo".

When I first started, I wasn't allowed to 'wooo', do the figure four, nothing was supposed to be associated with my dad. And then at NXT Takeover against Natalya [in 2014], I won the NXT Women's Championship.
That day, I debuted my music which had his music in it, and I 'wooo'd' for the first time. It just happened organically because my dad was at ringside but it was never something I set out to do… It wasn't wanting to continue the legacy, it just happened."

Flair, though, has now made the "woo" a part of her character, while Flair uses the figure-four submission hold and calls it the figure-eight. Flair has certainly made a name for herself using her own talents.

Watch what Charlotte had to tell Gary Cassidy when he interviewed her exclusively for Sportskeeda.
