Izzi Dame, a rising star in the wrestling world, has shared an intriguing insight into her career and her unique approach to the sport. With only three years into her wrestling journey, Dame has already made a name for herself, particularly with her calculated and cunning persona as part of The Culling on NXT television. But it's her ability to control her emotions that has both helped and hindered her, as she reveals in an interview with Bully Ray on Busted Open Radio.
Dame's poker face, or as she calls it, her 'Resting Bitch Face', is a result of her consistent and unchanging mood. This has led to some interesting interactions with producers who have suggested she change her facial expressions. "I would be an amazing poker player. I’m consistently in one mood all the time. I’ve been told that my entire life. I will tell you this, my poker face is more of a RBF [Resting Bitch Face]. That gets me in trouble sometimes. I’ve definitely had a couple of producers come up to me and be like, ‘We have to change your face.’ I constantly have a ‘What the hell are you doing?’ face. I don’t even mean it. It’s just my face," Dame shared.
Despite this, Dame's emotional control has also been a strength, allowing her to excel in her wrestling career. She recently won the NXT Women’s North American Championship at NXT New Year’s Evil, defeating Thea Hail. When asked about her dream matches at WrestleMania, Dame expressed her desire to face Becky Lynch or Rhea Ripley, as discussed in her interview with Fightful.
Dame's story is a fascinating one, and it's clear that her unique approach to wrestling has both helped and hindered her. It will be interesting to see how her career unfolds, and whether she continues to navigate the challenges of controlling her emotions while also embracing her 'Resting Bitch Face'.
