Impact World Champion Tessa Blanchard FIRED from Impact amid racism, bullying, and insubordination. Update: She’s back in TNA

[Norrin Radd]

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.

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.

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.

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 the latest episode of the Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T talked about Tessa Blanchard returning to TNA despite past issues and more. You can check out some highlights below:
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]

Is Tessa even that good of a talent to warrant all these chances, or is it because she's the daughter of a Horseman?

There are quite a few girls who started with her and have surpassed her and who are up and coming and have lapped her. Only thing I can understand is nepotism.

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

Man, respectfully, fukk Booker T. He always has to come and run defense everytime when it comes to racism and racists in the industry. It sucks because I admire Book a lot, but the constant c00ning and bootlicking makes it so hard.

 

[Norrin Radd]

I want to know what the “line you can’t cross back over from” is

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

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
