WOW really turned me off of her, the booking she got would make HHH '03 nod in approval

I remember first hearing about Tessa's attitude way back in like 2015/16 where Victoria apparently offered her some advice after watching a match of hers and Tessa blew her off.
Tessa is extremely talented but her rapsheet about her ego runs a mile long....I have said as soon as her deal with Impact ends she is bolting so quickly to WWE or something like AEW.

Next one was if I remember was during a dark match in LU season 2 where she got hurt and Ricochet publicly complained isninuating Ive hurt her because she is a bad worker on twitter about it (he never says Ive by name by Ive's response to it outed her involvement) and Ive responded to him about not making things like this public. And then there is supposed tale of her confronting Ricochet at the performance centre after learning he cheated on her. Tessa is extremely talented but her rapsheet about her ego runs a mile long....I have said as soon as her deal with Impact ends she is bolting so quickly to WWE or something like AEW. Her attitude seems pretty bad, but I’m not sure how the second example is her fault, nor how the third reflects badly on her rather than Ricochet.

My bad on that one I got into rattling off her involvement with things I rememberd and kept going.

I'm not a fan of hers nor do I find her remotely attractive with her pointy chin and strange nose but I met a guy last week that showed me a non meet and greet picture she took with him and said she couldn't be any nicer when I told him I'd always heard the opposite about her. So she has that going for her. If I never see her in WWE or anywhere else ever again I'd be fine with that.

I hadn't heard anything about her attitude post the 16/17 stories, and she improved greatly in the past year. One thing I did hear though was that her and Santana Garrett don't get along in real life, and that Santana wouldn't drop the WOW Title to her, so they concocted a story to get the belt off her and then put it on Tessa.
That being said, the period where it seemed non stop that Dave Meltzer was wishing Tessa into being hired by WWE, even coming up with fake reports claiming that she was the most over at SHIMMER shows when she wasn't was very excruciating. She's had a good run in Impact though.

One of the best I've seen live in a long time. She just has that star quality, that it factor or whatever you want to call it. Her match with Brian Cage is still my favorite to have seen in person. As far as her attitude, I can only speak on her in public but I've never seen her turn down a fan or treat one negativity. Of course she needs to sell shirts and tickets and whatnot so that would be dumb to do so take it with a pinch a salt I guess. I don't think how she treats fans is the issue, it's how she treats her peers or her ego not being placated by bookers. One of the best I've seen live in a long time.

It is the behind the scenes people she treats like crap. Oh yeah, I wasn't trying to say that her attitude with the fans was proof those reports on her attitude were in any false, just making note that she's good with fans. Obviously that doesn't mean to much though, as I don't think many would treat fans bad unless they had a lot of money to fall back on.

But then he treated everyone like shit.

Can anybody cite any firsthand examples if her being shitty to people? All I ever hear is "Tessa is a douche", but never any specifics. The closest thing I ever heard was about the Victoria thing, which could easily be overblown dirtsheet writing.
Oh, and the thing about the MYC...wasn't that reported by Meltzer, who has a creepy obsession with her anyway? Dave has made up a LOT of shit, including misreporting things to make her sound better. It could just be him blowing off some bullshit so he doesn't have to write "WWE isn't interested at this time" and break his own boner, er, uh, heart.
Keep in mind that she was also not even quite 21 when the MYC thing happened, with barely 3 years in the business. WWE has been iffy on signing folks that young, and most of the exceptions they have made in the last few years have all been people with heaps more experience. And looking back at the pool of talent from that first tournament, it's practically a "Who's Who" of future WWE stars. How the hell was somebody like Blanchard to have a chance standing out in a field like that one? Hell, they passed on Toni Storm that year as well. Is it really that hard to believe that WWE maybe wanted to see more from someone with barely any experience under her belt, knowing they had a ton of more experienced women right in front of them? It's also important to remember that the Blanchards don't have a stellar history with the company. Family names can be as big of a disadvantage as they can be an advantage.
Point is, everyone jumps on the Meltzer bandwagon with this kind of shit, but facts and firsthand examples are basically nonexistent. It seems like everyone is always looking for a boogeyman, when most of the time, there is a much simpler, more plausible explanation.

I forget the specifics, but didn't someone shoot down the Mae Young Classic theory as not fitting the timeline in a way that made sense?
In any case, I hope she can get her shit together for her sake. There's something to be said about how many guys get away with having an attitude, but even for them, it eventually starts to negatively impact them, particularly nowadays with the glut of other talent.

When did those tapings happen, though. Because Santana's dad died around that time, and it would make sense that she wouldn't want to compete. But the way Tessa got the title was bullshit. The previous season was built to that moment in the last episode where Santana won the title. This season right away Tessa comes in, tries to kill Santana's dad, Tessa wins one match, she gets a shot at the title, gets pinned in the triple threat, gets put in a one on one match for the title due to Santana leaving to be with her father, wins the title, and spends the rest of the season as a karma houdini. She came into WOW right away as a heel, and got everything, with no comeuppance.

She is a natural opponent or team mate for Charlotte one day. This. Either the "continuing the Horsemen legacy" thing, or the "Ric always held Tully back" thing...and probably both, eventually.
("Eventually" being "in the course of five weeks." Because WWE.)

You forgot that in that 5 weeks, they will become lifelong best friends forever who have always been best friends since before birth and will be best friends as long as best friends are still a thing best friends can be. Best friends. BEST FRIENDS BEST FRIENDS BEST FRIENDS!

She’s still young but she needs to be more considerate of the people that came before her and people in general from what I’ve read. There’s an old saying that the boys are the business. Meaning you’d better be respectful and get along or you won’t be welcome. They won’t let you in and you’ll be stuck grinding shindies or looking for another line of work. She could end up like Teddy Hart (minus the drugs, legal troubles and cats) if she doesn’t get her shit together.
