The WWE performer took part in a great number of sports, but she was seriously hooked on sports entertainment from an early age.”My whole family was a big fan of ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin and Trish Stratus,”  Bliss says. “I really liked watching Rey Mysterio because of his Lucha Underground (Mexican wrestling) background, which reminds me of gymnastics, so I naturally gravitated towards him.”Those are some mighty big shoes to fill but we think Bliss has the heart of a lion and with her incredible desire to succeed is a future champion in WWE. SEE ALSO: The 12 Best Bodies in WWE History
