Trivia / Tessa Blanchard

• Fake Brit: Technically in Fighting with My Family, as she was the Stunt Double for Florence Pugh, who was playing Paige in the film.
• Hostility on the Set
  • Blanchard claimed several wrestlers had shown undue hostility towards her, citing Ivelisse Vélez in Impact Wrestling as a specific example. When the message was relayed to Velez she was confused and said there must have been a misunderstanding. Two other Impact Knockouts Allysin Kay and Chelsea Green were willing to open up about their issues with Blanchard however.
  • Allysin Kay also revealed that Blanchard had issues with La Rosa Negra that lead to a fight in an apartment while both were contracted to World Wonder Ring STARDOM, which triggered a flood of other gaijin wrestlers in STARDOM such as Shanna and eventually all over the professional wrestling landscape sharing their own Blanchard horror stories. La Rosa and Tessa had tried to makeup privately when "Big Swole" Aerial Monroe more or less forced the two to confront one another at a Wrestlecon and settle things, but hostilities between Tessa and La Rosa resumed a bit when Tessa publicly denied having caused their fight in the first place. Nonetheless La Rosa Negra and Tessa Blanchard had a second, public burial of the hatchet after they both worked with other people on a Ladies Night Out show.
• Old Shame: It is NOT a good idea to bring up her time in Ring Divas. Mentions of it online will warrant an instant block, and broaching the topic to her face gets hostile fast.
• Romance on the Set: With Ricochet and later Daga, the latter of whom she would marry and divorce.
• Stunt Double: In Fighting with My Family, about WWE's Paige, she was a stunt double for Florence Pugh, the actress playing Paige in that film.
• Troubled Production: Part of Women Of Wrestling's troubles after the 2012 revival stemmed from a sharp difference of opinion between Malia Hosaka and Blanchard regarding the training of new wrestlers\"superheroes" for the company, after the mistaken assumption their serious attitudes towards their craft would be complimentary.
