I don’t follow Impact, but did they really just bury their entire company and make a 120lb female their world champion? She’s not even a roided out freak of nature like Chyna or Nicole Bass. This is a joke, right?
This has nothing to do with sexism or women’s wrestling in general but come on. Does Impact exist in another universe where she has super powers that make this even remotely possible?
Even though pro wrestling is fake there’s only so much suspension of disbelief you can handle. I don’t see how any sane person could take this company serious.
Something tells me there's no point in trying to explain this to you but if you actually followed the company and the events leading up to this, you would know that no one was buried to make this happen. Tessa lost to Sami twice prior to this. The only males she's gotten clean wins over are The Crists who are Sami's goons and not any more athletic than she is. She scored a virtual fluke win over Cage in a gauntlet match to earn the shot. And then she finally bested Sami after taking 80% of the offense during the match. And let's face it, Tessa is a great athlete. Sami isn't. It isn't THAT outlandish.
At the end of the day, no matter how you feel about it, this is what a vast majority of the fans wanted and it's brought Impact more relevance than it's had in years. Furthermore, Tessa is one of the best and most highly touted wrestlers of any gender in America that's not signed to WWE right now. She's a fine "face of the company" even though, yeah, you don't HAVE to make her World Champion to establish that.
No one and nothing was buried by this move. I'm sure certain people with fragile egos will be turned off by this kind of booking, but it is what it is. Can't please everyone.
