Tenille Dashwood On Being Part Of Women's Revolution, Having Freedom In Her Identity

Tenille Dashwood recently did an interview with Daily Mirror where she talked about her time so far in Ring of Honor Wrestling and how she has been a part of the women’s revolution, artistic freedom in the ring and in her gimmick, and more. Here are some highlights from the interview:

Tenille Dashwood on women’s revolution in ROH:

“What I’d like to do is bring some of what I’ve already done into Ring of Honor and Women of Honor. With the timing of the championship tournament back in April, Ring of Honour is putting a lot behind the women this year. So it’s really good timing and exciting for me to be a part of it. I want to continue to grow that and the awareness of the skill both ROH and the women have here and continue to kinda push those boundaries. Maybe we could do those things like intergender matches or women main-eventing pay-per-views and just pushing all those boundaries, especially now that we have the Women of Honour championship on the show as well.”

Dashwood on having control on her identity and freedom in the ring:

“It’s amazing. I guess you could say I’ve found this new found energy in life and in wrestling. All of a sudden, all of these ideas started flowing through my head again. I wanted to try new things, I had ideas for things that I had done in the past and I watched people, I saw their styles, new things came to me and I’ve integrated that into my matches.

“All of a sudden, I just had this almost like new passion and energy. Excitement was there because I had the realisation of having matches that weren’t always TV matches, that weren’t always strict on timelines or storylines and more so focused on the wrestling, different opponents I hadn’t worked before and a lot of one-on-one matches. I’m able to get out there and wrestle for longer periods of time. It was like a whole new thing I hadn’t done really in years.”

Who she wants to see in ROH from WWE:

“It’s hard to name just one haha, but if I had to pick I’d say Bayley and I’ll explain why. She is one of the most passionate, dedicated and hardworking women I have come across in this business. Her and I are very close, we lived together at one point throughout NXT and still to this day, I admire her so much for the hard work she constantly puts in, the new ideas she has, the drive she has to never settle and always want more and those are all feelings I have within as well. If there’s anyone I could go out there and kill it with in a Ring of Honor ring that would be Bayley.”
