There’s plenty more allegations worth reading into in the comments

Worth pointing out this all started out from tessas own tweet where she said women should support each other; so the reason for all these tweets is other women showing how she didn't support other women.
If anyone actually watched impact this would be really bad timing for her.

Uhhh, why are these other women being so petty though? They're debasing themselves to Tessa's alleged level. Making the whole lot look bad. Take the higher road, ladies.

If anyone actually watched impact this would be really bad timing for her. Which is why Chelsea Green and Shanna came out with this. Why wait over 2 years till now to even bring this up? Shanna made the excuse of saying it isn't her story to tell but she protected her own interests(Not being blackballed from work elsewhere) rather than confront some then 21-22 punk who needed to be put in her own place. But they waited till the eve of the Impact championship match to bring this to light and I think it's shit to do it on social media if someone like Green had her number to confront her. Seems pretty bad. How does that make you look good that you watched someone spit and throw the N word at someone knowing you could have stopped it? Don't get me wrong, if Tessa did this it's awful and she deserves all the flack coming to her and she'd need to watch herself in the ring with someone who'd pop her like an Awesome Kong if she'd go over to AEW but this makes women's wrestling as a whole look petty and sadly would make promoters cautious of making it a more premier product if this is the shenanigans that goes on.

On the other hand, she sounds like a massive bitchlord and if they just sat back and said nothing then she might get away with it with no repercussions. Justice is being dealt out.

They had the time and place to do that, they just chose to bring it up a day before her biggest moment ever. They chose not to and the others chiming in are doing so because they feel it's safe to do now. There's nothing special about what they're doing.

Why do we care about the biggest moment of someone who did all these things? I don’t think we need to worry about the state of women in the industry and other promotion’s perceptions based on this because no one watches TNA.

We got a few samples of that on air (Sunny Days) but man could you imagine unfiltered just at random? Probably wouldn't even backpedal and blame it on hackers/drunk like Kurt and Jericho often do.

Also, can you imagine if AEW tried to have a legitimate women’s division? It would be horrible. They don’t have enough good talent. Britt Baker ain’t putting on no five star clinic.
Besides, AEW would have gone bankrupt if they tried to afford a women’s title larger than a bracelet.

Why do we care about the biggest moment of someone who did all these things? It just makes women's wrestling look like drama filled and like the Jerry Springer show. Don't get me wrong, Tessa is vile if this is true but to just random hold onto something from 2-3 years ago and then shed light on it is lame. Same thing I said when Josh Allen(Bills) got busted of what he said when he was 16 on NFL Draft day, seems very opportunistic by individuals and I don't think that should be celebrated. I'd have more respect for some of these women if they actually confronted her about this when they found out what happened but they waited till this exact day of to use social media and hide behind keyboards in saying this. When they are entrenched in bigger promotions(Sienna with NWA, Green & Isla Dawn with WWE, Priscilla Kelly having Joey Ryan's promotion and already appeared in AEW) now they appear to say what is on their mind. Seems cowardly IMO.

People say and do stupid things. Its all part of being human. We make mistakes, learn, and move on. I'm not justifying Tessa's actions, but I think there is more to the story that we don't know. If it did happen I'm the type of person that wants to know why it happened.
Maybe its just me but social media is a chicken shit way to handle personal business.

Seems cowardly IMO. I get what you are saying. I agree. They are acting cowardly and not in the most honorable way, but that is most people with most things. I am not celebrating what they did. I’m just not going to shed a tear over her career being hurt and in the grand scheme of things it may be preferable to them doing nothing and her continuing to treat people like that. People can inadvertently act for the greater good with selfish and cowardly intent.

They don't like her trying to act like a role model now when in the past she did have an attitude problem. So yeah while it probably happened she seems like she has changed some since then. They may have wanted to say something before when they both were in Impact but couldn't because of fear of repercussions.
I doubt it will change Impact decision to do what ever they were going to do.

Black label pro has removed Tessa from their show on Jan 24. And then of course made a virtue signalling anouncement on social media saying they removed her due to the recent allegations. these days I wonder how many people are genuinely upset about these sorts of things, or just want to make sure to be seen doing they think they're supposed to be doing.
Hard to believe these other girls aren't purposely bringing light to all this on the eve of Tessa's biggest moment. but that's how revenge works, you wait until it will have the greatest effect.
Also, super looking forward to Tessa winning the men's title tonight.
Aside; what are opinions on Tessa's attractiveness? I'm of the opinion she is a little bit of a butterface what with that chin business she's got going on.

I remember a story about Jessika Havoc years ago about how she felt she was being stopped from being from signing to NXT. Just because some fans dug deep and calmed Havoc was a bigot for posting a joke that was perceived as really racist to some people and only sightly offensive to others it was bullshit. What Tessa has done is wrong & way worse but don't punish the fans and react hastily if at all. I hope Impact does what it wants to no matter the story. I'm conflicted because I'm a fan of all 3 women but TNA made Austin Aries & Alberto Del Rio champion.

Given all this went down after her very short NXT run, does not shock me. Never understood why WWE passed on her, given her family her talent and connection to the four horseman. This attitude seems to give the clear answer.
Find it funny people are acting like this will be the first time a woman won a major men's title when CHIKARA did it years ago with Princess Kimberlee. And right now TNA is about as big as CHIKARA was then.

Fuck Tessa Blanchard and fuck her "moment." She should have tried not being a racist.
And also, fuck every person here saying "Uhhhh why didn't they say something sooner? Why are they choosing now to speak out? What do they have to gain?" Go fuck yourselves. That kind of reaction is why people are scared of speaking out in the first goddamn place. Fuck off.

And right now TNA is about as big as CHIKARA was then. You can't seriously be describing Chikara's top title as a 'major' title? Impact wrestling may not be that big right now, but they have a fair bit of respectable history. Chikara and TNA/Impact world titles are not on the same level.

Why are they choosing now to speak out? What do they have to gain?" Go fuck yourselves. That kind of reaction is why people are scared of speaking out in the first goddamn place. Fuck off. Holy hyperbole. Yeah fuck someone actually confronting the problem off the start if they truly felt what was wrong is wrong. If she was such a bully and jerk to so many female wrestlers, why did it take so long for this to now surface and for the said wrestlers to now speak because they have protection by being in a company now? It's cowardice, you can call it what you want. Awesome Kong didn't like how Bubba the Love Sponge was talking all that smack given he had Hulk Hogan's green light back in TNA and she popped him cold and took her exit from the company like a grown ass woman. When Samoa Joe did a shoot on Scott Hall not showing up to a TNA pay per view, Kevin Nash still wrestled in the match but asked him in the back who told him to say those words? Joe said it was his and Nash slapped him twice, one for him and one for Scott. That's how you handle someone out of control in your eyes. Not waiting for a moment like a snake in the grass to mention something passing followed up by "ITS NOT MY STORY TO TELL! But I am so offended by it that I wanted to take a shot at someone i don't like!". That's called riding on someone's tragedy to hit on your personal gripe with someone. And witch hunts and cancel culture are why suicide rates keep on climbing in today's society but hey don't let that interfere the prerogative! I'd have more respect for these people coming out with these stories if they either did something about this or did bring this up but was completely disregarded but they instead protected their pockets and kept it within until the time was right. It's pathetic.

I mean, to be fair, it may have been cowardice but it may not. Being afraid isn't always a bad thing. If they have families to support and are trying to make a living, why risk your career over righting some minor injustice? Sometimes it's just not worth it. If that were the case, it can make sense to hold off on it until you have decent protection. Sometimes being a social justice warrior and "doing the right thing" right away doesn't always lead to the best positive outcome overall.
Also, I think slapping someone being how you treat people who are out of line is a bit of a worse message here. Violence is not good. You watch too much wrestling.
