I honestly have some mixed feelings about this. She's like 24, and her stuff in Japan would have been at about 21. That's not a lot of years, but it is a lot of years to a 20 year old. It's like 10% of her life, and those are some really dramatic change years. At least they were for me. I think Bix on this very forum (or it might have been pretend scoopsman rovert, I don't remember) reported a while back that she used to be a mess but has really matured in the last year or so. For me, if she was coming out and owning up to everything, I'd be willing to look past someone having been a poo poo at 21. As of now she's denying the n-word thing, but reports of her being really lovely a few years ago are too rampant to take her word for it. I am not really 100% comfortable with stuff someone says at 21 sticking with them forever. At the same time Jordynne Grace has never done any of these things, and is a more credible first female world champion anyways so I'd rather see her get Tessa's spot.

It doesn't have to stick forever but part of growing up is maturing and making amends for mistakes you made in the past. If you don't do that you're not growing up and no one needs to forgive you or give you a second chance.

Yeah. It's academic at this point because she's in denial mode instead of owning it. So whatever.

You can add the Charm City Gamer (Izzy superfan paedo) to the list of terrible people on wrestling Twitter rushing to Tessa's defence. Just need Chris Regal to return from the dead again to defend her now. https://twitter.com/RealCCG_YT/status/1216109426907795463?s=19

Tessa's rep pre-Impact was always that she was an rear end in a top hat but the narrative did seem to be that she had grown up and gotten better. On the other hand if your go to defense is "no one is a saint, everyone has a past" to "you said racist stuff" that's not very reassuring. I dunno. The timing is obviously suspicious but like, that doesn't make it untrue. People would be as inclined if not more to tear down a bad person on the eve of their big day as they would a good person. And like the Orton/WWE stuff is true but of course its also whataboutism. Wrestling sucks.

Also, let's not ignore this weird claim of "Oh, NOW sure is a convenient time to bring this up" like it's a juicy bombshell everyone has been waiting to unleash. It seems to have only come out because Tessa made a tweet about supporting women and that obviously triggered some women who were very clearly not supported by her. She kind of set herself up for this. From what I've seen, nobody just started tweeting about this without her initial tweet.

Any Impact fan complaining about the style of AEW has to be just petty because like 1/4th of the AEW roster was in Impact a year or two ago. They probably weren't saying that same stuff when LAX were tearing it up with the Lucha Bros.

There's no part of my post giving her the benefit of the doubt. I'm just saying growth should be possible as should forgiveness. Since I posted its become more clear that she hasn't grown and deserves no forgiveness.

Like I understand maybe thinking your show of choice has better production values/more interesting or charismatic characters/better writing ect, but no matter what show you choose it isnt real. Somehow in my life of talking to people who like different wrestling promotions "real fightyness" never came up as a thing.

If you've managed to discuss wrestling online without encountering those people then you're lucky.

"real" or not rarely comes up for people I talk to, but "believable" does. For example (to pick a complaint I personally don't agree with) I've heard some people have reservations about Riho as women's champ because of a disparity of build between her and, say, Kris Statlander, or because they don't think her strikes look hard hitting enough. This makes it tougher for them to suspend disbelief, despite appreciating her skills and athleticism. (I disagree because I like Riho a lot, but it's at least a coherent objection much as I don't share it)

I've heard the argument of believable and I certainly think things like that can pull me out of a match. Acrobatic moves doesn't bother me at all though. Honestly Hulk Hogan hulking up is alot less believable than anything I've ever seen in a "spot monkey" match.

This makes it tougher for them to suspend disbelief, despite appreciating her skills and athleticism. I'm honestly one of those people that feels like Riho needs more practice making her strikes look good. It's kind of not fair, but someone selling a sloppy strike from a bigger person looks better than a sloppy strike from someone tiny like her. I feel like Marko Stunt is actually really good with making his strikes look real. OTOH 90% of his strikes get no-sold so

For whatever reason striking is not something I apparently pay close attention to, because I’ve never clocked that particular complaint about Riho watching her matches. If anything, I like how it looks like she’s putting her entire body weight behind her knees and stomps.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that. Kenny definitely taught her how to throw a knee, and I feel like she does the stomps better than a lot of people. Probably because she's coming down with less force so she doesn't have to skip straight off like a larger person. It's more her elbows and hand strikes that seem kind of wild and sloppy.
