Tessa Blanchard recently spoke with McGuire on Wrestling for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling. During the discussion, Blanchard commented on her future in the wrestling business:
“First of all, I can’t even express how thankful I am. The fans have been so accepting. Even today, the fans are chanting ‘Tessa, Tessa.’ That always feels great, especially being away for so long. I always want a lot more. I feel I have unfinished business in wrestling. I’m 27 years old and I do feel confident that I’m one of the best there is and I can go with the best. I won’t stop pushing for that, but I have other things going on too. I think it’s important to have that balance of knowing who you are outside of the business because the business isn’t always going to be there for you and it’s very unforgiving. It will recycle people left and right. I know who Tessa is without wrestling, which makes me more dangerous when I go back to wrestling.”
Blanchard is set to begin a multi-show deal with Xtreme Pro Wrestling on May 27th. Blanchard has largely been inactive from wrestling in the United States following accusations of bullying.
