Of course it had to be Booker T. Of course.



“Man, the thing is, I’ve already seen criticisms of Tessa Blanchard being back and people still wanting to try to cancel her. Man, y’all get off of it. The thing is, if something was said, if an apology was made and fences were mended, we should be able to move on. One thing about certain things, in the social media sphere, everybody know about it but don’t nobody really know what’s going on [laughs]. Everybody know about the story but don’t nobody know what’s going on. My thing is, guys, get off of all of this hate and let Tessa Blanchard hopefully try to resurrect her career and go out there and redo this thing all over again. Let’s just look at it as that, a redo," Booker T said.

Book been in the industry too long, we've seen this before in many different fields. He's going to stand on the locker room "brotherhood" before anything else. These isolated bubbles that people operate in are always divorced from a normal person's reality.

Professional sports, music, acting, politics, military ; it's the same syndrome every time. You don't understand, you haven't been there. :snoop:

In a sense, I get it for Booker because people in the industry gave him a chance when they shouldn't have, but accountability SHOULD mean something from the person who committed the act. Booker has shown that - Tessa has not. :francis:

And LA Knight is in the clip considering with was released from TNA on refusing to do an intergender match with Tessa :dead:
Y'all might want to keep this in mind that people from AEW also want Tessa in the company, so we all have to suffer from this :francis:
MLW and NWA fans seeing all these articles like, "glad we don't got to worry about Tessa coming around here":whew:

Is Tessa even that good of a talent to warrant all these chances, or is it because she's the daughter of a Horseman?

There are quite a few girls who started with her and have surpassed her and who are up and coming and have lapped her. Only thing I can understand is nepotism.

Exactly. Booker keeps talking about giving people a chance after making amends, but Tessa was defiant immediately afterwards and wouldn't even say sorry. Someone needs to ask Booker why he had such a problem with Sasha, yet is so forgiving of Tessa who is a legit bad person.

Mercedes stood on what she believed in and was willing to take the consequences that comes with it.

That's the combination in like 90% of cases: talented people who are absolutely scum of the Earth. If you've ever researched celebrated people in their field, shiit a lot of the ones in the history books for their accomplishments were unmitigated scumbags as people or end up doing horrible things.

In wrestling, Terry, Vince, Moolah, Benoit, and Vince come to mind off rip. Every single one has defenders too. That's what makes the genuinely good people who are just as talented stand out so much because most of them are scum.
