Pro wrestling veteran Tessa Blanchard spoke with Sportskeeda’s Bill Apter on a variety of topics such as how she is currently studying at the University of Texas at San Antonio as well as how she is kind of doing that on purpose to stay out of the spotlight and the public eye as she likes to keep certain things for her and her family private.
Tessa Blanchard said:
“I kinda do that on purpose [stay out of the public eye]. I like to keep some things for me, some things for my family.” “So, right now I’m in school, which is like my main focus, at UTSA, University of Texas at San Antonio… Texas girl. So, that’s like my main focus right now. I try to do one to two of these wrestling get-togethers or matches a month, honestly not too much more than that at the moment.”
Tessa Blanchard also spoke about how she only competes in matches if that makes her feel happy as her main focus right now is her happiness and she doesn’t want to compromise her happiness for anything.
Tessa Blanchard said:
“Yeah, doing [wrestling] whenever it makes me feel happy.” “Honestly, that’s really my main focus right now, is my happiness. I don’t wanna compromise my happiness for anything, not for money, not for popularity, not for followers, not for any of that.”
Tessa Blanchard is a former IMPACT Wrestling World Champion and was stripped of the title due to some controversies. Blanchard then signed with Women Of Wrestling, but he status with the company has been up in the air after the two sides had a falling out. It was later reported that she was done with the promotion before things even got started. She has worked a number of indie matches this year, but she has yet to have a serious talk about possibly joining a major promotion such as AEW or the WWE.
