Tessa Blanchard Says She Wants to Make Her Name in Impact Wrestling

– Tessa Blanchard spoke on a recent media call about signing a two-year contract with Impact Wrestling and more. Highlights are below, per Wrestling Inc:

On wanting to make her name in Impact Wrestling: “I have goals, I have my purpose. I want to build upon what my grandpa and my dad and my stepdad did in the past. I also want to do that while making a name for myself I believe it’s important to do that before I go anywhere else. Impact has given me the platform and the exposure and they’re supplying me with the tools and the teachers to do that and I’m very, very grateful for that. Because not only am I learning so much but I’m also honing my own skills and taking it to the next level in a way. I’m very gateful to be in Impact and honestly, if I’m being completely honest I was just going with my gut and signing with Impact was a feeling I had that was right for me and it will be right for me for the next two years.”

On her time in Impact thus far: “I am enjoying the journey. I’m having the most fun than I’ve ever had in my entire life and that’s why I am where I am right now, Impact [Wrestling]. Impact is such a fun place to work, I enjoy it so much I can’t stress that enough. The locker room, the people, working Gail Kim, working with Jimmy Jacobs. I love working in Impact, it is so much fun, I can’t stress that enough. But also, as much pressure as I put on myself and as much as I push myself and I remain focused. I do, I put so much pressure on myself whether it’s in the gym, whether it be in wrestling, whatever goals I have. I do always remind myself — sometimes in the ring at the end of a match — I take a step back and say, ‘Tessa, you got this, you’re in control. Look at where you are right now.’ I remind myself to be grateful and remember where I came from.”
