Alexa Bliss recently spoke with ESPN.  Here are some highlights from the interview:

Idea to act like a brat: “So I was at the airport and this little kid would not go through security and just threw a fit in the middle of the floor and did the whole thing with shaking his legs and arms. His parents were just standing there looking like, ‘We don’t know what to do!’ They were annoyed, and I was like, ‘Man, that’s a really bratty thing to do and I’m going to do it.’”

Her character being the opposite of who she really is: “When it comes to the Alexa Bliss character, everyone says the character has to be an extension of yourself turned up. But I feel like I am the complete opposite of Alexa Bliss. When I came up with the Alexa Bliss character, I wanted to be the girl that everyone knew. There was always that girl in high school who was mean to everybody. She was mean and rude but everyone still voted for her to be homecoming queen. That girl. And I wanted to portray that girl. Because I knew that girl in high school. I knew girls like that.”

Character change in NXT: “When I first joined with Murphy, I had to make a character change. I wasn’t confident in myself about that at all, but I remember my mom telling me that once something clicks with me … I had to … come in and kick the door down and let everyone know who I am.”

Xavier Woods recently boarded a flight that was overbooked and the plane wouldn’t take off until eight people gave up their seats. Woods decided to document his experience for his Twitter followers. He sent out the following tweets:

“Currently using Google Translate to explain to the man next to me that they need 8 volunteers or we aren’t taking off”

“Things are breaking down at this gate. Three flights from the same gate and ours hasn’t left yet People are starting to turn GOT style”

“It feels like a brawl may ensue, I’ll keep my phone ready in case some @WORLDSTAR stuff happens”

“People have been clamoring for a manager and it’s not this girl’s fault. Someone just said they are gonna write a complaint letter!”

“HANDWRITTEN! NOT AN EMAIL! IVE NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE BEFORE! ITS LITERALLY THAT SCENE FROM WHITE CHICKS!”

“Mental breakdowns are starting to occur. A man said he is lifetime executive platinum & will never fly them again. And just yelled at this girl who is working the desk like she purposely made it so we can’t get on the plane. This girl, who is made of stone, looked at him and said, ‘Ok, im sorry that this has happened sir but unfortunately there isn’t anything I can do to help unless people volunteer to not take the flight’ he then starts to yell again and she politely cuts him off and says ‘is there anyone who needs help that will speak in an indoor Voice?’ I haven’t heard someone say ‘indoor voice’ since I worked in daycare. I love this. Girl at the desk is giving me life”

“THE FIRST F BOMB HAS BEEN DROPPED! THIS MAN CURSED AT THE GIRL AT THE DESK AND SHE WALKED AWAY! #Slobberknocker”

“The price just got upped to $1500 bucks after the ‘lifetime executive platinum’ man got loud about it. People smiled and the ‘F bomb’ guy in danger. The people next to me are actually conspiring to try to get people to ban together to get him booted off the flight. GOT a confirmed seat on a flight to Montreal tomorrow. But we may only need three more pretty soon cause this man who dropped the F bomb may be”

“So to update. We are delayed due to a weight restriction and need 4 more (got 4 already) volunteers to not fly. Reward is $1300, a hotel, & a woman is breastfeeding and shooting dirty looks at the man who cursed super loud. Crowd starting to turn on him….Is mad jealous. And he still doesn’t know people are plotting to force him to volunteer for cursing at our Khaleesi (desk girl!)”

“WE ARE NOW AT $2000!!!! This is like watching deal or no deal. Everyone whispering with their friends. ‘F’ bomb guy whispering with no one”

And this has been my aesthetic the entire time… pic.twitter.com/4er5V3E25W

“I helped an older lady fill out her declaration card then watched her, in one 30 second walk mind you, shun the ‘F’ bomb guy, then feign injury so she could skip the line to speak to our Khaleesi, then proceeded to try and plead her case for why she should get on the plane now”

“She said ‘I honestly don’t know how much time I’ve got left so I need to get on this flight’ and Khaleesi STONE WALLED HER!”

“When the older woman returned to her seat she laughed and said ‘I tried the old lady thing but she wasn’t buying it’”

“I have no idea how I was selected to be blessed with all of this ridiculousness on this day.”

To many hysterical things are happening, starting to look for cameras. I think I may on Swerved. This cannot be real. pic.twitter.com/AnCF5D0t11

“I can’t with what just happened the ‘lifetime executive platinum’ dude just came and gave props to the old lady who faked an injury and the ‘F’ bomb guy saw it & visibly threw a 2 second tantrum. He looks like he wants to fight the old lady for being the cheating babyface”

WE ARE BOARDING!!!

There is a couple that is so happy that they are literally in tears. This girl at the desk, She truly is the breaker of chains… pic.twitter.com/x2GuM4sAHe

“The ‘F’ bomb guy said something to Khaleesi under his breath, she stopped him & said ‘you being rude did nothing to help anyone, know that’”

“Man in front of me, who also kept his cool, just jokingly said ‘now we are gonna sit here in this plane for another 2 hours’ please lord no”

“BREASTFEEDING MOM JUST GOT ON AND WALKED PAST ‘F’ BOMB GUY. SHE MOUTHED ‘F@?$ YOU’ AS SHE PASSED HIM! HOW ARE THINGS STILL HAPPENING?!?”

“We are about to take off. I’m still in awe that this even occurred. Hopefully it’s done and a fight doesn’t break out in customs byeeeee”

Kurt Angle talked about the success of GLOW on his recent interview with the Dallas Observer recently.

He talked about GLOW’s recent popularity which led wrestling into mainstream environment again, and the main event women’s matches:

I would say that GLOW’s popularity had an influence on us having women’s main event matches. But the WWE has been working on their women’s division for years, and we’ve already been leading up to having the girls main event TV shows.

A few years ago, WWE made the decision to stop referring to the women wrestlers as “divas.” When I was in WWE the first go-round, the women were having bikini pillow fights and it was all about the look of the girl. Now it’s all about their in-ring ability. GLOW is helping bring more attention to wrestling and women’s wrestling in particular. I think people who watch WWE will watch GLOW and vice-versa.

GLOW is Netflix’s latest show which is based on a promotion of the same name, called Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. The show was released via Netflix on June 23, 2017.
