PRO WRESTLING: WWE NXT’s Alexa Bliss, Baron Corbin different but alike
.JPG "NXT superstar Baron Corbin and NXT diva Alexa Bliss are different and the same. They have the same drive and passion to entertain, succeed and help the community.")
NXT standouts Alexa Bliss and Baron Corbin are as different as they are similar.
On the outside, you can easily see how they contrast, but what is not visible is where the two mirror each other.
Baron Corbin is a solid 6-8, 280, a rugged biker type, physically imposing, branded by a myriad of tattoos.
Alex Bliss is a diminutive 5-0, an aerial specialist, a super cute blue fireball, trademarked by glitz and glitter -- plenty of glitter.
Corbin is a former football player. Bliss a former cheerleader and gymnast. Corbin sports a vest to the ring. Bliss a tutu.
Quite the pendulum.
The equalizers are their drive, desire and passion to be successful inside the ring and out. They train hard, learning from their coaches at the state-of-the-art WWE Performance Center in Orlando. They also share a common bond with role model efforts by helping the community. They have big hearts.
Bliss and Corbin, along with other NXT superstars, divas and staff, will participate in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on Sunday, Oct.12 at the Bright House Network Stadium at the University of Central Florida in Orlando.
Different-Same
Corbin made his vest, and Bliss designed her tutu.
Corbin wears black, and Bliss blue. Both look to leave the opposition black-n-blue.
Where Corbin enters the ring by stepping over the top rope, Bliss steps onto the bottom rope for a decent view in tag matches.
After her tag match at a recent NXT show at the Havert L. Fenn Center in Fort Pierce, Bliss made a few kids’ day by hugging and thanking them for cheering her, and then one young fan made her day by giving her a homemade drawing. Another fan also made a sign, “Bliss Your Heart.” Fans send her drawings via social media, and they even named one of her moves.
Corbin made fans’ day by power-housing his opponent.
