It takes a truly unique talent to have an entire promotion booked around you and still be enough of a dick to get booted from that promotion Even Hulk Hogan didn't get kicked off his Hulkamania tour, did he? Steven Seagal makes several movies a year and everyone just f***ing tolerates him because they know with no Steven there's no movie and with no movie there's no paycheck. When you are the penciled-in star who is making everything work, it is incredibly hard to piss people off enough for them to give up on you. That doesn't happen in show business. Absolute monsters exist on-set and harass crew and make everyone miserable, and they get away with it because they are whre the money comes from and so much work has been put into them in the marketing and everything that all the other peons, crew, etc. just kind of swallow the bullshit to collect pay. This just does not happen.

This just does not happen. Seagal hasn't released a film since 2019, the allegations against him are too great for even shady VOD producers to ignore at this point. I know you could blame Covid, but really, that means he hasn't made anything since pre-covid days once you factor in the time needed for post production work and he's shown he's not the type to care about the disease anyway.

He's got two movies in pre-production right now. The man's got mountains against him, but clearly those aren't enough to keep him away for good. Edit: Also I want to clarify; there's a difference between not making any more movies, and actually being kicked off of a project outright.

Tessa really really has a skill that few possess and that is to continue to torpedo your career on purpose. The apple didn’t fall that far from the Blanchard tree, although Tully seems a different guy these days. The first warning sign to me(I didn’t know the full extent) was when she was in the Mae young Classic and they didn’t sign her off that. I mean triple h who’s an old school NWA mark passed up the chance to have a second original horseman daughter signed ? Yeah, there was something there alright.
And the annoying thing is she’s unbelievable in the ring but she seems like a jackass of a human being.

Gang, I just realized, Tessa Blanchard may be on her way to be the first person publicly fired from Control Your Narrative. She's about to face the end boss of toxicity.

And the annoying thing is she’s unbelievable in the ring but she seems like a jackass of a human being. Honestly, can we really believe the hype around her in-ring skill at this point? She has exactly been tearing down the ring with any of WWE's best and brightest, for example, and I myself have not seen her work. WoW isn't exactly the best showcase, either, since David McLane has never been focused on anything in-ring beyond looks and not killing oneself or each other. It's reached the point where her attitude and racism are coming off at least as much a shield she's put up against potential failure as they are as discrete and separate from her in-ring performance; and I don't think she's anywhere near willing or able to drop them. Unlike the Miz who answered the early complaints about his "celebrity" status and his lack of self-discipline with hard work to improve in-ring and his psychology to become one of modern pro wrestling's best-known characters, Tessa will likely continue to cling to her behaviours as her excuse why she didn't succeed as far as she could have. It's _almost_ a Magnum TA-level of "what might have been" that she's perpetuating herself because we're talking about her potential and what's holding her back. The only way I can see for her to self-reflect and turn her career around at this point (if she can at all - she's been at this for a few years now and has just about burned all her bridges) is for us to ignore her. She's at best a jobber in the current scene, not a particularly good one at that, and enough of a pain in the ass not to get booked.

Tessa's body of work speaks for itself between her stints in the indies and in Impact. She could've been the biggest star in women's wrestling if she didn't burn bridges wherever she went.

Which is the craziest thing about all this; she’s a pretty damn good worker. She’d be doing pretty well in WWE right now if she didn’t shoot herself in the foot. She’d likely still be in Impact if she didn’t no show a taping as the goddamn world champion. WOW would be more of a thing if she didn’t decide the promotion built around her wasn’t actually built around her enough. Just so many variables.

Will they lean in 110% to the trainwreck Inguagaral Championship Match Nia Jaxx VsTessa Blanchard Vs Ivelesse Velez vs Scarlette Bordeaux Wait, what did Scarlett do to get lumped in with those other 3?

If that happens, yeah, Tessa's career is as good as junked. XPW, being ran by sleazeball Rob Black, would probably be the only one who'd tolerate her at this point, and even then...what if even he can't handle her toxicity?

It might be the way she and Killer Kross acted in trying to get out of their Impact contracts in order to go to WWE.

Ahh, yeah I hear that. That was trash and very much reminiscent of today's primadonna athletes. I said as much when the situation was happening and for the most part most people here on the board made it sound like I was wrong. Guess people came around to what I was saying back then. Also, I like Kross but I guess after WWE stuck him in that silly ass outfit while Scarlett sat in catering, after they were both featured very prominently in Impact they both learned that the grass isn't always greener 🤣

Yeah, she absolutely had fans in high places, too. It wasn't even just her f***ing up, either, but also being given chances to make good and be forgiven, and slapping those away, too. With Tully Blanchard as a dad, Magnum TA as a stepdad, and basically the most easily booked feud with Charlotte Flair imaginable, it's stunning how she has rendered herself basically unhireable.
