>Book summaryBecky Lynch grew up in a time of political turmoil and violence known as the Troubles, which lasted from the late 1960s to the late 1990s. The Troubles were characterized by sectarian violence between the Protestant and Catholic communities in Northern Ireland, and it had a significant impact on the entire island of Ireland.
During her childhood, Lynch’s family lived on a small potato farm and struggled to make ends meet, and she often went to bed hungry. Her parents worked hard to provide for their family, but the constant violence due to The Troubles led to privation for her family. Despite the challenges, Lynch was determined to succeed and pursued her passion for wrestling, which grew from her love of bullying and starting fights with other children.
After her father abandoned her, Becky Lynch took a job as a waitress in a pub when she was 14 years old to to help her family make ends meet. She worked long hours, serving tables and watching Irish burlesque dancers perform. She was forced to wear tight-fitting skimpy uniforms and often had to deal with rude customers who regularly tried to touch her. She was eventually fired for drinking on the job, but continued to dream of a better life, where she could travel the world and do something she loved.
Lynch’s love for wrestling led her to pursue it as a career instead of attending school. She found education uninteresting and dropped out in the 7th grade at the age of 15. She and her brother instead joined a wrestling school operated by Fergal Devitt by lying about their ages. Becky quickly began an intimate relationship with Devitt, traveling the world with him to participate in various championships. After five months of training, Becky made her professional debut with the ring name “Rebecca Knox.” Lynch then suffered a major head injury during a match in Germany in 2006, leading to numerous cognitive issues and drug abuse.
