Tessa is very easy to build for an audience to give her credibility quickly. Just show footage of Tully and mention he was a Horsemen some talking heads of Legends talking about her pedigree and she's got instant cred with the casual audience. Tessa is highly talented In terms of raw talent in the U.S. the only comparable is Charlotte and you can almost form an argument she's better then Charlotte who I think is the best overall woman in the U.S. scene In terms of ability it isn't hard to sell Tessa. Just you can't put her anywhere prominent as it could bite you in the ass knowing she don't act right I do think she's better than Charlotte honestly. I think Charlotte can fall into a tedious formula and I think she can only work to a certain speed. Tessa can work with anyone and has a more versatile style. She's also a far better promo which has always been Charlotte's most glaring weakness. Tessa is 24 and has an aptitude that is just beyond her experience. I think comparing her to a young Randy Orton is really appropriate. Randy had people finally get him in line, Tessa desperately needs that.

Had she just played nice, left on good terms l, even if she never wanted to go back, and made at least one show, her contact would have been up next month anyways and then she could have gotten a better deal else where. Now who’s gonna want her?

Wow.
One would hope this would be the eye-opener Tessa needs, but doubtful.
And I say that as someone that's a huge fan of the woman in the ring. She's a natural star, and carries herself like one (thus the Charlotte comparisons), but I really hope she sorts out her entitlement and realizes not only her potential, but that she ruined a glass ceiling breaking run that could have meant a whole lot more.
It's just disappointing.

PWInsider saying she tried to strong arm the company and was holding the title hostage knowing her contract was up and wanted more money and to be paid on a day by day basis, it wasn't because of the pandemic she was staying home. So to her surprise, Impact said f*** you and fired her. She's obviously not a very good negotiator.

This company gave you the damn world and this was her response? Like... what?!

Ace Austin is mocking her character by replacing "Undeniable" with "Unprofessional". I love that dude.

After all they did for her she tried to pull a selfish move with no ground to stand on and hold up the title. Callis and the grew be taking these risk with wrestlers but when it comes time to act and cut bait they play no games Now her rep is shittier then before she came into Impact and she has racism on her name. Can't think any wrestler going risk their rep for her in WWE and AEW and top brass knows they can't trust her as talented as she is, her risk is not worth the reward and that's the worst position you can be in

I think the real loss here is that we'll never again see the Rough Riders in IPWF.

Trevor Dame doing a great job of hiding his disdain for Impact. (He literally has a Patreon making fun of their fans)

Ace would be a certain step up, not as much from a in ring perspective, but more that he's not a racist primadonna.

Well if that's accurate I'll say something I haven't said on here or said anywhere in a while, but good on impact wrestling. if she was surprised that impact did what they did then clearly she still has a lot to learn.

Circling the wagons around a racist and then getting screwed over by her unprofessional-ism is certainly a very LOLTNA move though. They did the right thing by firing her

If she did try and strong arm them, it was a stupid move. Current management of Impact do NOT react well to that.

Tessa fired by Impact. Nyla Rose "in action" at the AEW ppv. Coincidence? Probably. She'd still have the same travel problems

But Callis and Damone really protected Tessa and made her look like a star. So to me no matter how you slice it Tessa is in the wrong. Though I cannot help but shake the belief that this is similar to Kross and Scarlett where there is an offer from either WWE or AEW on the table and she was just trying to get out
