Her career in NXT was remarkable for a number of reasons, not least of which was the fact that before Charlotte and Sasha or Becky were tearing up the Women's Division with their rivalries, the main rivalry that allowed people to think that maybe Hunter was treating women seriously was the one between Dashwood (now of course re-named Emma) and Paige. After a brief return to Australia, Dashwood then split her time between several territories, including Shimmer and ECCW, before returning to Storm's Academy for more training and signing to WWE in 2011 at age 22. That in itself should show how much Dashwood had invested in this as a career, but it did not stop there. She moved around the Australian wrestling scene for a while before at 18 moving to Canada to wrestle under the tutelage of one Lance Storm.

Tenille Dashwood was born and raised in Melbourne, where her older brother introduced her to pro wrestling. To make it, you really have to go overseas where the money is.Īnd for a while I was dreading that for the near future all I'd have to have represented my country in the WWE was a guy who went AWOL in Perth. A strange bunch who have little to no pro wrestling credentials to call our own.


Suffice to say we are a strange bunch to many in the Northern Hemisphere. Our national sport requires players to commit to the ball with little fear for injury- lest something like this happens:Īnd he could see that coming!! Because Australian Rules has become so fast, hits can come from anywhere, including from somewhere that players can't see coming! Like this one. We had a fictional character who seemed to hunt crocodiles and then 15 years later another guy came along who did it for real. See the thing is that other parts of the world have always associated Australia with danger. I also remember Edge in 2008 playing off the audience beautifully after they all started to chant that he was a wanker, prowling around with a mic in his hand and calling random members of the audience wankers themselves. Seeing Triple H come out in 2007 or the Undertaker in 2008. I have been to two WWE shows in 20 and have been amazed at how much the crowd were into it. I am an Australian born and raised in the sunny city of Brisbane. "Look, risking lives while driving stoned is one thing but accidentally not paying for an IPhone case?! That's where we draw the line!!"
