Tenille Dashwood recently spoke with Kevin Eck for Sporting News; you can read a few highlights below:
Dashwood comments on her opportunity with Ring Of Honor:
“Ring of Honor is one of the top companies in the world, and that played a big part in me going there. And the timing was perfect. They had just put out the tournament for the championship.
“This is the year where [the women in WOH] are really getting the opportunity to show what they’ve got, especially on TV and to a bigger audience. The competition is just getting better and better with the opportunity to build the excitement and the need to perform and put on great matches.”
Dashwood talks about turning her WWE release into a positive:
“I was definitely surprised. I really enjoyed my match with Asuka at the pay-per-view, and that was the first singles match [on pay-per-view] that I had there. So I was definitely surprised when I found out, but it gave me almost like a launching pad to go out and wrestle for all these companies elsewhere. It was almost a reminder for the fans that I can wrestle. So it really helped me moving forward and I’m glad that I can wrestle everywhere now and the demand is there.”
Dashwood says she plans to bring back her ‘Taste Of Tenille’ YouTube show:
“One of the main things the fans ask me is when am I going to do ‘Taste of Tenille’ again, which I love. I know I connected with a lot of my fans there. Now I want to do an evolved version where I incorporate other things. For example, I went to Iceland last year, so maybe it’s incorporating a trip to Iceland and a local place I went to eat and an adventure to the top of a mountain looking over a black sand beach — just all these amazing things I do in my life outside of wrestling and integrating that into an evolved version of ‘Taste of Tenille.’”
