This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

STOP DOING HEROIN

quote:

The new Women of Wrestling relaunch is underway, and has been met with significant controversy after announcing Tessa Blanchard as the face and casting agent in the company.

Reasons for those controversies are an alleged incident with La Rosa Negra, that those around it claim saw Tessa Blanchard spit on La Rosa Negra and use a racial slur. Blanchard has vehemently denied such behavior to those close to her, and claimed the fight began when Negra threw an item at her. The two have spoken since, but as it turns out, there have been some pretty heavy efforts by multiple companies to get them together again.

Fightful has learned of two specific pitches that were put together, one on screen, and one off screen. According to NWA sources, one of the ideas when they made contact with Blanchard during the Summer was to get La Rosa Negra and Blanchard together in private to work things out and make good on their issues. We're not sure if this even made it to La Rosa Negra.

Another pitch made this year was from WOW Women of Wrestling this year. Fightful has learned from sources close to La Rose Negra, close to WOW, and who formerly worked at WOW that a pitch was made to her that she could work for WOW, and she and Tessa would appear on screen together in some capacity. It was not specified to us if this would have been on the actual show, or something for social media, or what the content would have entailed, though we were told things varying from an "apology" to "easing tensions." We also aren't sure of the time frame around it.

Fightful has attempted to reach out to La Rosa Negra on the matter. Those close to her say she was "insulted" by the offer.


OK so WOW is just gonna be a massive shitshow that nobody should support, but did we expect anything else from a Tessa vanity project?

the full story is loving gross. They legit wanted to turn this into an angle and thought Tessa offering an apology would clear it all up. Completely loving tone deaf---I don't know how this doesn't make WOW look like a trash heap. Whoever keeps trying to put them together is loving terrible.

Well I mean if the spot was paying and Tessa put La Rosa Negra over enough she could transfer it to a better paying gig, it’d be one thing. But this WOW stuff isn’t hot, won’t be hot and will end up being content grist.

Maybe next time try a small venue touring product with live to tape shows. Without Tessa.

AWG is really evasive when bringing in women for training. Several were told it was going to be training for action TV or stage play stuff. It’s kinda skeezy.

Jesus christ.

Like every other Joshi promotion has a reason to exist but AWG doesn't seem to have a driving force behind it. There can't be so much money sloshing around in Joshi that'd you make such a speculative play for the market.

Guess this would be the right place to post this. PWI's top 10 on their list 150 women's wrestlers of 2021 based on October of 2020 until end of September this year. Mostly kayfabe accomplishments rather than a definitive look at who's the best but interesting to look at anyways.

1. Bianca Belair (WWE)
2. Utami Hayashishita (Stardom)
3. Deonna Purrazzo (Impact)
4. Britt Baker (AEW)
5. Thunder Rosa (AEW)
6. Sasha Banks (WWE)
7. Syuri (Stardom)
8. Io Shirai (NXT)
9. Tam Nakano (Stardom)
10. Raquel Gonzalez (NXT)

Don't have any major complaints though Thunder Rosa above Sasha feels wrong. Deonna Purrazzo had quite the rise from being not used in NXT to dominating Impact. Compare her current position to Tenille who was in a much better position to make an impact after she was released from wwe and has done absolutely nothing. Riho going from 8th to 141 is quite the drop from someone who had no major injuries. Also Maki Itoh was 24th and Miyu was 31st. I don't get how Maki would be higher than Miyu.

pretty fucking embarrassing to watch

She’s been great since her heel turn earlier this year and I’m glad that it seems like whatever led to her leaving Marvelous hasn’t hurt her working Sendai Girls longer term: the other two (who I think most people would agree seemed to have better potentials although were both younger) haven’t shown up anywhere else yet and if that carries on then it’s a massive shame since Mikoto Shindo and Mei Hoshizuki have a lot of potential and were already very good.
