To me, my board!
She’s Dollar Store Charlotte Flair. Half the in-ring talent and nowhere near as good on the mic. And this is coming from someone who hates Charlotte Flair with the passion of a thousand exploding suns.
Impact World Champion Tessa Blanchard FIRED from Impact amid racism, bullying, and insubordination. Update: She’s back in TNA

Alright, I'm gonna ask;
WTF has Tessa Blanchard done to make ppl think she's so great?
I'm legit asking.
I know she was the first woman to win the TNA title. That's it.
It's already been answered accurately. She had the pedigree and most importantly, they presented her as a feature performer. Her natural heel tendencies, that arrogance you can't fake just carried the image and they cashed it out with the Men's World Title. She's not as good as any of the original Horsewomen or the current top of NXT, in-ring or promo wise.
Tessa is 75% presentation and nepotism.

Tessa is a relic now, she's basically the female Hulk HOEgan. Women's wrestling is so far advanced now that she brings nothing to the table.
Booker T doing what he does best
On Tessa Blanchard signing with TNA Wrestling: “Tessa Blanchard is back in TNA. And the thing is man, I’ve already seen criticism of Tessa Blanchard being back and people still wanting to try to cancel her. Man, y’all get off of it, man. Get off of it. The thing is, if something was said, if an apology was made and fences were mended we should be able to move on. One thing about certain things, just say for instance, that get out there on the social media sphere: everybody knows about it, but nobody knows what’s really going on. I’m serious. Everybody knows about the story, but nobody knows what’s going on.“I would just like to say for instance, I had two girls at Reality of Wrestling that had beef. I said, ‘Man, you need to straighten this out. You need to squash that beef.’ On social media, perhaps social media picked it up. But social media doesn’t know that these two have mended that fence, they have been down the road working together, they have tagged together, and everything is all good. So my thing is, guys. Get off of all of this hate and let Tessa Blanchard hopefully try to resurrect her career and go out there and re-do this thing all over again. Let’s look at it as that, as a re-do.”
On getting a second chance: “I’ve never held a grudge until you cross that line. Of course, there’s a line that you can’t cross back over. But like you say, every time I’ve had a dispute, whatnot with someone and they were told to get the hell up out of here, they always came back. They always came back, they always got a second chance. Just because I believe in people making mistakes and getting another chance. And the reason I say that, because I was one who made a hell of a mistake in my life. Somebody gave me a second chance. And the reason I’m here right now is because of that second chance. So I cannot be the one who just casts someone out and throws him away like trash without giving him a second chance.”
On Blanchard’s TNA World Title run: “I was always a huge Tessa Blanchard fan as far as her in-ring stuff. But when they did that, I was the first one against it. I was the first one to say that that was — I actually said this. I said, ‘That was the worst decision TNA has ever made since its existence.’ That’s what I said. And guess what? I was 100% right on that.”
ALTRUISM
"My enemy is a notion, not a nation."
I thought about this. I've seen her wrestle a little bit, but the IWC acting like she's a '96-97 Shawn Michaels-level worker to warrant these chances

I want to know what the “line you can’t cross back over from” is 
So he gave the Bucks shyt about locker room etiquette and not shaking people hands but she was outed as a racist by multiple women and he's on some ya gotta move on and forgive and forget

The worst part is that Tessa didn’t even put out a half-ass apology. She didn’t say anything about reflecting or she regrets past behavior. I may be wrong, but the only thing I remember seeing is the girl she racially abused and bullied saying she forgave her. Even Hogan attempted a fake apology. Yes, people change. However, she can’t expect everyone to move on and accept her without at little bit of self reflection on herself.

She flat out denied the shyt happened and blamed La Rosa Negra for starting the fight, not to mention she was never fired from Impact for that, she was rewarded with the mens world championship like a day after and the only reason the Impact bridge was burned is because she refused to return the title to them or some shyt after her contract was up WAY after she was exposed(I think thats what happened im not 100% sure but it definitely had nothing to do with her racism)
Then when she got that WOW deal(that she eventually burned a bridge with go figure) they tried to pressure La Rosa Negra into doing an angle with her and that fell through, I guess after being banished to Mexico and having no North American prospects she made peace with her and they took a pic together but that coulda just been La Rosa being the bigger person after people had been pressuring her for years. There was never any public apology or acknowledgment of racism from Tessa.
So this idea that she needs to be forgiven for something she never took responsibility for in the first place is funny but that's the world of wrestling for you, fanbase is dominated by racist incels and most of the wrestlers themselves are racists or c00ns.
