Eleaine Hope

Eleaine Hope grew up in a small country town in South Australia, watching wrestling on her dad's lap and playing every rough sport she could find. She's a submission specialist, a high flyer, a two-promotion storyteller with a two-year arc still running, and a woman who has stared down the urge to walk away more than once and decided, every single time, that she wasn't done yet. She sat down with In the Gorilla Position to talk about TNA Knockouts, the lumberjack match that made history, the little girls in the crowd who keep her going, and why a small-town country girl living out her craziest dream might be the most important thing she ever does.
