Tessa Blanchard Accused of Racism

[Kross Rhodes]

By who exactly?

I'm pretty sure anyone overlooking Tessa's fuck up here are the same type of people who thought it was wrong for WWE to temporarily blackball Hogan. I would guess.


On the topic of Hard to Kill though, I'm very interested to see if she still gets fan support or what the situation there is gonna be like.

I don't think anyone is defending Tessa per say. I'm just not a fan of condemning without direct knowledge.

Though I would say if she did it it's awful, but at the same time it was three years ago and I believe in second chances.

If we wrote off everyone that had histories, Flair and Austin would be in that camp with Hogan.

I think we've all said our peace on this so...

I am interested in seeing what the crowd reaction to her will be. That might also play a factor.

If they really boo I'd call an audible and just tell her via ref to turn heel and let Sami work the match baby.

Tonight.

Its tonight

Is this a PPV? And, dope I will be there. Anyone else joining in?

Nah, almost everyone in this condemned Tessa just like they did Hogan and I don't recall saying much of anything about Hogan. Other than actually saying a few years later after he apologized to everyone and made those locker speeches that he should be allowed back

I haven't condemned her yet. While I do dislike racism quite alot. I feel like this should have been brought up earlier than it was. It's what makes me feel like it's not true. But, that's just me. The difference in this and the Hogan thing, we heard the audio of him saying it. There was proof beyond a reasonable doubt. In the Tessa situation that doesn't seem to be the case.

That's not very heavy metal

My dad just said that he read Impact has pulled Tessa from all her scheduled appearances after the PPV, idk where this boomer gets his wrestling news from but if that's true then she def ain't winning tonight

If that's true just pull her from the show tonight.

Well I feel the deciding factor in whether we "write off people who have histories" is whether they admit fault and grow as people.

That's kind of the benchmark for me, whether I think someone deserves a second shot.

For that reason, I'm fine with Hogan returning to WWE TV (although his apology was shit) but I'm never going to have the same respect for him on a personal level.

Like I said Tess in a rock and hard place because I really don't think she can afford to admit to it before her title match.

That if she even did it.

I really need to know how you know this.

I don't give a fuck if she can "afford" to do it. IMO if she did it, it's really the least she can do to try to make it right. You do some shit like that, I don't think you get the right to choose when you come clean about it. That's just how I see it.

If nothing else she could have stayed quiet about it until after the show. But she's already fully denied the accusation so there's no turning back now.

Best case scenario for her now is someone stepping up and saying they were there and it didn't go down like that.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Henry say quite a few of the boys liked his apology and some of the others didn't?

So I doubt it was that bad. Just a mixed response due to the nature of the incident.

Going off what was reported, his apology was more about how to not get caught being shitty than it was about not actually being shitty.

I mean when you become the first woman in the history of the business to get a men's world title match in a major wrestling promotion I think you can speak a bit more on if she should throw away a once in a lifetime opportunity because of a Tweet.

She also didn't deny the Sienna accusation. She denied the Green bullying accusations.

Which we know is rubbish, but I ain't worried about those.
