I wonder if anyone at TNA is darkly amused that a woman they fired for not dropping the title also didn’t drop a title on her way back to them. Or, you know, worried that nothing has changed, because I’d take that as a sign.
Yeah, I was just thinking that as well. And I don't necessarily mind that she's returning to TNA. Though I thought she fit in with CMLL Amazonas. But in a show of good faith drop the tag title before leaving.
WWE took Punk back after getting into fight with co-workers and making the boss look like an emasculated doofus in public. Let's face it, ppl are being utter hypocrites about this. What Punk did was way worse than anything Tessa did/allegedly did, and yet the internet was happy that WWE was willing to take him back.
@@connerhuston2613 Agreed with you and @samoanjoseph1457 And what's appalling is barely anyone is talking about this. All they're bringing up is the insults towards La Rosa Negra, which was very old news in comparison to Tessa holding the Impact World Title for ransom, which is arguably what blackballed her officially from American/Canadian wrestling
@@SYMShutYoMouth who said it would kill them? TNA will probably somehow outlive AEW despite doing everything to put itself out of business. This is why people laugh at TNA, because they do the dumbest ish but always seem to survive despite themselves
Because it’s in their DNA. This is who TNA is; this is what TNA does. We have 20+ years of evidence that shows they’re gonna do something stupid like this.
I do believe in second chances but I do hope she is fine mentally. It’s a pity that she is feuding against Grace which she is leaving once her contract expires & going to WWE after that. Heard rumors that Grace is against working with Tessa but she’ll have to suck it up & do it.
sounds like the thing of since your leaving prop up the person we wanna push so grace might not wanna work with her but might wanna do right by tna before she is out the door to wwe. just to bad that person they wanna prop up has to be tessa. and look i do agree with second chances but tessa hasn't really earned the benefit of the doubt here she hasn't proven she has changed and seeing the dislikes on her debut almost being 50 50 its clear a lotta of people and not forgetting about everything.
@ You may have a point but so far after the WOW debacle & even though she & that other wrestler have buried the hatchet over what happened, I haven’t heard any information or any backstage drama when she was in CMLL. I’d guess wait & see on what happens during this second chance she’s getting in TNA. I do know this if this works out, she might work at either AEW or WWE but I do not want to see that happening even if she did change. The risk is not worth the reward when it comes to AEW or WWE management.
@emilyjones212 she's already made a mends with the wrestler she had a incident with, there's photos of them online with the peace sign, she's worked in other promotions since with no incidents and right now with Grace supposedly leaving I can't imagine a bigger star heel right now back to TNA
@@MrRyanlennie2005Tbf they sell more tickets since getting the old/ real name back (not sure about TV numbers though). But the product is still dull as dishwater imo.
Short version, she's the female CM Punk. Tons of controversy whenever she leaves a big company. Punk has the big charisma, Blanchard the big Hall of Fame level talent.
People are criticizing TNA for bringing Blanchard back. I don't know anything about what controversies there were, but I do know who she is, even as someone who never watches TNA. I know she won the World Championship. Basically what I'm saying is, this is getting a lot of attention, and any publicity is good publicity for a small company.
I have seen maybe one match of hers. For me, it's just good to see someone get a chance after being "canceled" my the losers with pitchforks. Next let's get Enzo Amore back in the business - Not exactly a technical wizard in the ring, but another victim of those times.
@@doug2731 Enzo's story is fundamentally different. He was accused of rape, won the case and it was discovered that the person was lying because she admited it. He was fired because he failed to provide information that he had a case against him. Many WWE Superstars had accusations (Theory, Riddle, Devlin) and were not fired because WWE conducted an investigation that led nowhere. Tessa is not the same thing, women from several different locker rooms, companies and countries who don't even know each other have testified to her racism, her insults, her backstage blacklisting policies and even physical attacks. She even recognized it. Whether or not she should be forgiven is up to everyone but it is documented that she is a horrible person (or was, maybe she has changed)
It's would be ridiculous is Tessa loses to women after she beat guys like Brian Cage and Sami Calihan. That why u never give a woman a male world title. Mid card titles and below are fine
She was accused of doing a racism (which Moose came out and denied), but there's also the time she won the TNA World Title only to leave the company without dropping the belt.
Allysin Kay said she spit in La Rosa Negra's face and called her the N bomb while on a Stardom tour in Japan. She also held the TNA world title hostage during the pandemic and has been accused of poor locker room behavior for years going back to 2016 in various companies.
I think TNA is just desperate to have something meaningful right now after Scott left. I am not against giving people a second chance but the fact she never publicly apologized till now. Like just give a fake apology so people can move on
When savage dropped the ring bell on steamboat, i thought steamboat was done. But steamboat showed he had alot of fight left, and came back to win the ic title from Savage at wrestlemania 3. Tessa Blanchard is in tna
I won't tolerate any Tessa hate. The woman (probably the most talented of her generation mic work/ ring work) lost almost half a decade of her career without physically harming anyone. It's time for her to get back on track. Her detractors are probably fans on Abdullah the Butcher (a dangerous weirdo), New Jack (a violent threat to his colleagues) and John Cena (horrible backstage politics). Meanwhile, the less talented hacks that made a career out of being on a moral pedestal and dragging Tessa's name (CHELSEA GREEN) were under the spotlight for years.
Tessa is getting a second chance to make up for her blunders from 4 years ago but remember AAA gave her another chance so TNA will take the gamble. TNA brought back the Hardy’s after they left TNA and it has worked out. Tessa has already apologize to the person she said those things so he doesn’t have to apologize to anyone else Meltzer. It’s in the past
@ for the very reason AEW and even NXT haven’t touched her with a 50ft pole the entire time they’ve existed. Her father was employed by AEW and she couldn’t even get a match on Dark as she’s so toxic.
They don't need to be proven. She's not entitled to a wrestling contract. Multiple accusations from various people across multiple promotions is sufficient enough for anyone to distance themselves from her.
What Dave is saying about Tessa, how she should apologize, that's kinda what the Bucks, Hangman and Jack Perry should be doing, they should be apologizing to everyone in AEW for costing the company a lot of fans and money by causing their only draw, CM Punk to leave.
NO she shouldn’t. She said something stupid in an argument and has apologized to that person. She is a world class wrestler and deserves another chance. Cancel culture is OVER in 2025.
Apologize, then try to play heel on tv? Seem counterintuitive. Just apologize in private, and if everyone believes you’re really a bully, use that for heat
Whats chelsa green have to say.. bet chelsa green won't say nothing or else they ain't giving her the USA women tittle.. that dream match chelsa green vs Tessa blanchard. Chelsa Hayes her.😅😅 for real.😅😅😅
Good for her. "Guilty" or not of accusations, people should be offered a second chance. We incarcerate criminals for far worse offenses and ultimately allow them to serve their punishments and reintegrate into society. Why not Tessa Blanchard, Hulk Hogan, or anyone else in pro wrestling? The number of outraged morons in the comments screeching about this is ridiculous.
Was any of the allegations actually proven, or are they just allegations? IF there has been nothing proven, then isn't it innocent until proven guilty?
This isn't a criminal case, she's not entitled to a wrestling contract. Multiple rumors from multiple parties that don't know each other is good enough for her to be blacklisted.
