Jordynne Grace is of the opinion that she is more disrespected and overlooked than contemporary wrestlers, and claims it to be a classic example of tribalism in wrestling.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Grace discussed the matter ahead of her upcoming match against Mickie James at Impact Hard To Kill. She said,
“I don’t think disrespected is the right word. I think overlooked might be more accurate. Honestly, I truly think that’s just because tribalism in wrestling is so adamant across the board. If people watch WWE, they’re very big on the WWE wrestlers. If they watch AEW, they’re big on AEW wrestlers.”
“I just think if people do go out of their way to watch IMPACT, it’s very rare, so I don’t think that they’re gonna see me one time and be 100% behind me. So I can understand that. But at the same time, it does suck to work as hard as you have worked and not be acknowledged completely.”
Grace will defend the Impact Knockouts Championship against Mickie James in a Title vs. Career match at Hard To Kill on January 13th.
