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

[Bryan Danielson]

They just cut Jack Gallagher over it and the RIddle stuff they knew and did an investigation. If a lot of women dont fukk with her in that locker room Im not sure

Besides they passed on her after she was in the Mae Young classic

I do get that they passed on her then.

And I do get the scandal (though let’s be real the E dont really give a damn about race issues like that)

But after the first time she was passed on she did kinda go on to be if not “per the experts” the top woman’s wrestler in the world and even achieve something no other woman can claim they’ve done.

Vince can wash that race shyt off her with the same soap and water they used for Hogan and still tout her as something special

Bianca and Ruby have had almost a month straight of wrestling each other on Main Event Shayna is MIA, Rhea basically tapped out to Charlotte and had her momentum killed for no reason. Meanwhile, they’re pairing Lana and Nattie and giving these charisma black holes screen time lmao

Main Event still exists?

lmao yep

I think this was calculated as well. Someone has to have interest whether its Mexico, AEW, WWE, or Hollywood. It's not like she couldn't of called into busted open when Dreamer was on, filmed a video or even a tiki tok or something. She used this has her way out of her Impact deal.

Her Impact deal was up in a few days, she didn't need some plan that makes her look bad & drives home her reputation of being hard to work with to get out.

If anything this seemed like a power play that backfired with her agreeing to work the PPV & then refusing to do anything after they announced the match thinking there was nothing they would do about it. Probably thought she could pull a Jarrett & hold them up for a big payout at the last minute but Impact said fukk it & just cut ties

The amount of goodwill that company has burned through is mindblowing.

I thought they turned a corner with Callis, then they just pushed the Tessa angle through, when it should have been abandoned.

D'Amore started getting all up in the videos like Russo, recently, too.

They build a reputation from the hard workers, the management squanders it. Every. Time.

 

[Coco Brown]

lmao yep

Is there a specific person in charge of the Women's Division? They have so much talent and utilize almost none of it properly. So many people MIA or with no kind of direction.

And Tessa is about to be the female Austin Aries. Talented enough to stay working but can't stay out of her own way cause of attitude, entitlement, and ego issues.

Impact truly cannot catch a break. It's like there's a curse on that company. The management changes but missteps and mishaps remain the same.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

In all due respect to Impact, Im sure (like pretty much every company)

If this Covid shyt dont happen a lot of this shyt never plays out how it is.

And didn’t one or y’all say she lives in Mexico too!
Wouldn’t she have had issue getting back in the country like many of the other foreign residing wrestlers in all companies?

Not to mention Anthem strong-arming NJPW and WOW

Americans have been able to still get into the country even if they're in a country that has a travel restriction. She might as well just stay in Mexico and work in AAA, the only place that's going to take her for a while.

Pentagon (Who resides in Mexico) was able to get back this week. All they wanted Tessa to do was send promo (Which she could've) and come through in a few days drop the title if she wasn't gonna re-up. She refused.

She legit has no excuse, especially when she has a history of pulling fukkshyt and the company bet on her despite that.

Especially since working for Impact already meant showing up for like, three days of shooting, and having something like two months of shows (or more) in hand before the pandemic even hit.

She was just just being a lazy, unprofessional, bum. But Impact deserves it, though. The wrestling community rarely shows up the way it did to shyt on someone the way they did Tessa. And all the complaints were the same: racist, bad attitude, and unprofessional. Instead of telling her she's gotta wait for a minute, they just encouraged her bullshyt by putting the title on her after she half apologized, and then let her slide with that dog whistle ass victory speech.

Both sides deserve to look stupid here.

It's the most TNA shyt of all time that they ran a tournament to set up a title match at the PPV that happens a couple weeks after the champions contract ends, ended up announcing a 5 way match despite the tournament, & 2 of the 5 people in the match end up being fired before the PPV including the champion over things that are the only reason those people were even in TNA in the first place

The thing that kills me about Impact is that this company has had MULTIPLE diff owners/bookers and STILL make the DUMBEST decisions. It’s like this company is doomed to have inept leadership. It’s insane! Just shut it down n sell tha library to Vince.
