During her appearance on Straight Talk Wrestling, Tessa Blanchard opened up about that challenging period in her career.
>”Honestly, I wouldn’t change anything about the peaks, the valleys, the way my career’s been. I wouldn’t change anything because I’m very proud of the woman that I am now and the wrestler that I am today and where my career is because if anything would have been different, I might be in a different place, I might be a different person, my ego might be through the roof. Who knows?
>So when everything happened to me, it was even like a tough topic to even talk about. I remember I was living in Tijuana at the time and I remember some days I would wake up, I didn’t even have the strength to live that day so I would just go back to bed and I would be in my bed all day long. There were days where I was tired about life, just because my identity was wrestling. I didn’t know who I was without (wrestling) and in a matter of less than 24 hours, it was from here to boom. From contract offers from the biggest companies, more money than I’d ever seen in my life to nothing. This whole storyline we had built for eight or nine months to me begging the TNA office that day, ‘I don’t wanna win it. I don’t wanna do this,’ and after, I didn’t go home. I went on a 27-day media tour in Mexico where I remember we would pull over in the Uber before every interview and I would vomit. I was just puking and puking because… it was whiplash. I didn’t know, and I was seeing and hearing and my family, my little brother and sister were 14 years old at the time were reading all these things about me that I knew wasn’t me, I knew wasn’t in my heart, I wasn’t this person but it didn’t matter. Perception’s reality, right?
