Well if you take out all the relevant facts...you can simplify this to being "Tessa wanted first WOW hire as talent scout to be a black woman" :brodgers
Maybe she should call Brandi and see if she's interested :jade

Assuming that this is true (I do like Fightful as a source, even though SRS has been vocal about being against the recent WOW reboot) it seems as if Jeanie Buss and the rest are going head on with the Tessa controversy. I really don't think that is a good idea. It's just going to push people away even more. We live in a time when people make up their minds on stuff automatically and there isn't much room left to convince anyone to change their minds.

The T-Shirt is one thing but to trying to get the two together isn't a good idea because it will seem like there is alternative motivation. It's better for Tessa to just move on and prove that she isn't what others accuse her of in a different direction. Let things naturally flow instead of pushing it.

If being an accountant falls, you can always go be a PR person. :cudi

Do I as a real BTB not on TEW bc TEW has a "toxic" modifier to simulate cancel culture depending on what the scandal is :slip:
That makes it way more fun tho, does it not? You mean like, where it hurts the company right??

I think its a fair report tbh Sean seemed to think it was a juicier story than me and I I that's where his bias came in for this situation bc this really ain't much at all to me lol

Someone should start a BTB with all the like, “toxic” wrestlers.
I've been saying for a while you can easily make a whole fed out of cancelled wrestlers.

I also think Tessa will do fine as the casting director.

If I was not wanting to jump back into my TNA one, I would probably do it tbh. But I need to really get back on that one. Just can’t be bothered to actually turn my computer on

There's so many good indie women out there, unless they're doing some exclusive contract bullshit which would be silly, it should be quite hard for her to do that bad lol

But if they wanna he exclusive and their talent can't work for the other upper indies like ROH, NWA, etc. Then we'll end up with a bunch of unknown gimmicky stuff like the last WOW season seemed to be, I'd guess.

Already doing such a terrible job as the casting director. Watch out Tony, she's coming for your Forbes article. :pour

Also, Tessa already hired her first scout and she was a WOC. :slip:

I honestly am feeling as if hardly anyone was going to fucking watch this beforehand... kinda like the last incarnation of the company where it was just people who will watch any wrestling they see on TV and a handful of hardcore fans. At least now, I can see a pretty decent chunk of people tuning in just to support Tessa, "stick to cancel culture", etc. etc. Like, they aren't going to watch it out of just good faith, they're basically going to watch it to be contrarian for a lack of better word. So, you've still got that casual audience who don't know or don't care about the controversy, plus the crowd of people who are going to watch it just out of spite... it might actually end up being more successful as a result.

I'd be shocked if it wasn't more successful at first, maybe only if if they just crazy kill it by overspending or something lmao

I'll also be shocked of its any good but from what I saw of last season it will also probably be better too :mj4
