The story I heard was she responded to him coaching her by telling him "gently caress off I know how to wrestle".

Was this an actual coaching session or just some off the cuff advice?

Because if it's the latter I can imagine that if you've been plying your craft for years and dealing with patronizing carnies for most of it one might be defensive about someone telling you how to do your job unasked.

That's not to defend it, especially when it's a vet like Jerry loving Lynn who folks should be lining up to listen to, but I can at least understand why someone might respond that way.

If Max Caster did nasty raps about Ivelisse’s hooter, he wouldn’t be in the sin bin.

“My higher goal has always been to shed light on anything that could improve women’s wrestling in any way, shape, or form,” Ivelisse said. “So I do feel that a big reason is, again, just because I’m a female, they feel the freedom to just, you know, pick me apart, etc. It seems to be a trend that seems to be trending. Because it hasn’t been just me, it’s been other females as well. Any female that starts blowing a bunch of steam or whatever, somehow, someway they want to find a way to, to bring them down, drag them down or whatever.

“Well, see, unfortunately, the thing is that on the women’s side, there’s so much improvement that needs to happen,” Ivelisse said. “Because unfortunately, the cattiness crap from high school still happens in women’s locker rooms. And the thing is that a lot of males are in positions of power, and then they just roll their eyes anytime something happens, like ‘oh, it’s just girls being girls.’ Like, dude, no, no. That’s why I feel it’s so imperative to put such importance to female veterans because they’re the ones who, first of all, have gone through stuff and have earned the right to be able to impose any kind of, you know, rules to make more order within the environment. Not so they can feel powerful, or whatever, for the improvement of the environment; number one. And for better efficiency out there in the ring.

Oh not disagreeing at all, I'm not remotely informed of backstage roles in AEW so I wasn't sure if JL is an agent or an outright coach.

If you still had any doubts that CM Punk was making his way back to wrestling for AEW, TNT itself is operating on the assumption he's coming in, based on those we spoke to.

Fightful spoke with multiple people involved with WarnerMedia and TNT, who spoke of the excitement of bringing in CM Punk, and noted that he'll have their promotional machine behind him upon his return. We weren't told what exactly that would entail, but were told that TNT and WarnerMedia were both "very aware" of this. The same employees cited expressed that AEW running four shows over a few weeks in the same market and selling the way that they did impressed many within the company. One TNT source that we spoke with about the situation said they were particularly excited about the United Center/Chicago/Bulls/tie in.

A CM Punk basketball jersey with 21 on the back and a 'legally distinct' from the Bulls design is a no brainer, right?

Or just do it with the Bulls. TNT has to have connections there.
