Claire Lynch’s Real-Life Identity Revealed

Richard Gray August 14, 2012 TNA News 15 Comments

I was told by a worker last week that Claire Lynch, who is “pregnant” with AJ Styles’ “child” in TNA storyline, actually works at Universal Studios as Olive Oyl on the park’s Popeye Ride.

Apparently this is something Lynch, whose real name is Julia Reilly, didn’t want out and has tried to conceal.

They need to end this story-line ASAP. It’s just HORRIBLE and seems to be going nowhere fast.

Well the cats out of the bag now, but I wonder if she is really pregnant or not.
David

She does kind of look like Olive Oyl

  If you think she looks like Olive Oyl, you should see my mother in-law…
Prince TMJB

So is she really pregnant or is it just a storyline?
- Ernest Bethea
  
  It's a storyline, Prince… and one of TNA's worst, if not their absolute worst.
- Josh
  
  She is wrestling pregnant….. So in other words She is fake prego

Since Richard quoted the word pregnant, it means she’s not pregnant.

Reread the acticle guys. It states that she’s “pregnant”, which clearly means that she’s not!

She plays Olive Oyl? Really? Wow, she has the perfect whiney, nasal, cat's-claws-on-a-chalkboard voice for that part.
She should stick to it, and leave Impact alone. I can cope with the storyline. I just can't cope with her.

Aww c’mon. My comment wasn’t in bad taste. Don’t give me the AW treatment and delete my comments. It was humor. #Linda4Congress

Whoever thought of this retarded storyline should be fired. But of course TNA keep all the imcompetent asses around

Now that the Olive Oyl is out of the bag, I can see her playing Olive Oyl. When I first saw her, she reminded me of someone, but I couldn't put a finger on it. Now I know; she reminded me of Shelly Duvall when she played Olive Oyl against Robin Williams' Popeye in the 1980 Popeye movie.
