She added, “If there wouldn’t be ring girls, there wouldn’t be lights, fans, sounds. It’s just boring, it’s just boring to see. But all these little details fulfill the full picture. That’s why there is no discussion. Ring girls, they are part of the biggest promotions, smallest promotions of anything.”
