Jordynne Grace Reveals How She Survived Earlier Days of Her Wrestling Career

Jordynne Grace’s career in professional wrestling didn’t get off to the best start and she had to scratch and claw her way to the top. In fact, she has now revealed how she survived the early days of her career.

While speaking to Busted Open Radio, Jordynne Grace talked about just how hard her early wrestling days were. She came from nothing and even slept on the floor of a one-bedroom apartment just so she could keep wrestling.

To survive while only making around $20 per match, she took on a remote court transcription job. She brought the work with her everywhere, even on planes and during trips to Japan where she earned just a dollar per page. It was a long and difficult grind, and she didn’t receive her first wrestling contract until nearly a decade into her career.

“Oh man. Just that I really came from absolutely nothing—that I used to sleep on the floor of a one-bedroom apartment just to wrestle. Um, I actually, to make ends meet when I was making like $20 wrestling at the time, I did a remote court transcription job, and I would take it on the road with me, on planes. I took it to Japan. Like, I would do this and make a dollar typing a page and just do that to make ends meet. Like, it was a grind for a very, very, very long time. And I did not get my first contract until I was almost 10 years into wrestling.”
