So.....what's Thunder Rosa's injury?

[markymark]

Thunder Rosa just did a live video on Instagram confirming a few things:

She’s still not medically cleared to wrestle

She reiterated several times that she works for AEW still and is on the Spanish commentary team

She got emotional several times talking about all the fan support

She also mentioned how tough the past 12 months have been and how she’s trying to uplift others and using her next WrestleCon LA appearance to raise money for charity

She mentioned learning the challenge of finding other things to do in the business when she can’t wrestle

Credits to Reddit for sharing this.

People aren't treating all access like that was real life are they? Because that shit was 100 percent scripted and if you couldn't tell I would sincerely like to sell you some magic beans.

[Zone Was Wrong]

Least Thunder Rosa has been mature on social media about it. A lot of other wrestlers could use her as an example atm lol.



Watch, I cursed her and now she'll drop a shoot on the whole roster.....

Yeah, I won't say there's literally nothing here, but given that they showed you the other women venting this week, then Rosa gets her turn on next week's episode...it's taking something that had likely caused real life heat and turning it into a hook for the reality show by exaggerating it and making it drama people might want to follow.

If it comes down to "Tony told everyone to say their peace, because afterwards everyone must then move the f*** on and be professionals", then I am not sure if it'll be a wise move or a foolish one. I can buy into the idea that stuff is being presented to acknowledge known issues, but I do not buy the idea it'd be invented wholesale because this has all been stuff floating out there for about as long as Rosa's been hurt, if not before.

[Kalmia]

If this is all a work and building towards something, then I hope it is being done with the agreement of everyone involved. I hope that all involved have buried the hatchet with each other and that Rosa was aware of what was going to be said and was genuinely okay with it.

(I presume it's all a work but I haven't seen All Access.)

All Access seems so far like a blend of real stuff with probably worked other stuff.

So.. A ''reality'' show then?

[markymark]

There was a new update from Rosa that she shared at Busted Open Radio’s WrestleMania party and she stated that she does not think she’ll be cleared any time soon and needs another MRI.

TR: "Well, that’s a question that everybody asked me during the signing. Unfortunately, I wasn’t cleared and I don’t think I’m gonna be cleared any time soon. I need another MRI."

After that, Rosa was asked by a co-host of Busted Open if she has anything she wants to address. She responded by saying if people want to hear what she has to say, tune into AEW: All Access on TBS and Busted Open Radio this week.

She would go on to state that she respects everyone she works with whether they get along or not. Rosa said she’s still part of AEW and doing something important which is being part of the Spanish commentary team. She reiterated that if viewers want to see her full story, watch All Access.

TR: "You guys can watch what I have to say next Wednesday after the show, and if you really, really wanna know what I have to say because that’s the last thing I’m gonna say on Busted Open will be on Friday. But I’m gonna tell you something guys, I have a lot of respect for everybody that has been with me in that ring regardless if I get along with them or not. At the end of the day, we put our lives and our bodies in danger and there’s a point where, you know, some people can say whatever they want and everything else. I stand on my ground, they know what I’ve been through for the last eight months. It hasn’t been easy and I’m back at AEW. I know people are saying, ‘What the fk are you doing? Stop taking dumb pictures online.’ Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But at the end of the day it’s this, when your back is not working, I can’t get in the ring and wrestle, but I can do something real good and I have a mic right in front of me and I use it every single Wednesday and I speak Spanish and represent my culture by talking and doing commentary. So I’m still part of AEW. They like it or not, I’m still part of AEW doing something very important which is commentating and I’m bringing something different to the table, and again, if you really wanna see my part in this part of the story, you guys have to watch All Access on Wednesday and I have one more thing that I’m going to say next Friday and that’s all that I’m gonna say but thanks for asking man. Thanks for asking."

Bully Ray then asked Rosa how she feels about Britt Baker. Baker addressed her issues with Rosa on the debut episode of All Access and in media leading up to the show’s premiere.

Rosa said if someone speaks badly about her, she sends them blessings. When it comes to Baker, Rosa cherishes what they were able to do in their Unsanctioned Lights Out match.

TR: "Like I said in my song (that I sang earlier), if they don’t speak good about me, it’s good because I send them blessings.

It’s something that I’ll say and I’ll continue to say. If I wouldn’t have had that (Lights Out) match (with Britt Baker), then a lot of people wouldn’t know who Thunder Rosa is, you know? You gotta give respect to who gives respect. That moment in our careers, we both helped each other to do something different and we were able to elevate each other to a point where we are where we are, right? I mean for so long, I was on the indies grinding and trying to make a name for myself and going on Busted Open so people knew who I was. Knocking on doors and people shutting them completely in my face but that night, I was able to do something beautiful with her and I cherish that. There’s a moment in my career I really cherish and it’s that because it changed the perspective on women’s wrestling in so many ways. But, again, there’s a lot of controversy going on. I am not gonna say anything because I don’t have to say anything. Like I said, I’ve said it multiple times, I’m just gonna send them blessings and there’s something very important that somebody told me and when somebody says something hurtful, when you have the buttons, when you button your shirt, you just let it go to where the button is. It cannot penetrate your heart and penetrate your mind and I’m just gonna keep going and try to be a better person for me, for you guys, for my family and that’s it. That’s all that I can do."

Very mature way of handling this entire situation.

Props to Rosa

[The Captain]

Awful to hear about Rosa when it comes to her medical issues. Hope they don't end up being career-enders.

[markymark]

Britt Baker clearing up the difference of opinion she has with Thunder Rosa:

"It's just like on Twitter. People twist and turn your words and say that you said something that you didn't. All I did on the show was ask if she's able to travel, and she's traveling all over the place, and she's going on Busted Open every week saying, 'I'm still the champion, then why won't you just come to work? Why can't you come cut a promo? Why can't you come do commentary? Why can't you come to say hi to the locker room. Kris Statlander has had her knees blown out for over a year now, and she's there, I think every single week. I have a very workhorse mentality where I want to be at work. As soon as I'm done at Dynamite, I get on a plane and go to the dental office. I can't relate to that mentality why you don't want to be at work where you tell everybody you're the champion of, and I'll be honest, I've asked her that same question twice and she doesn't have an answer for me either. It's not that, 'Oh, I want her to work hurt or I don't believe in her injury.' There's none of that. It's just why not come to the locker room that you're the champion of when you can?"

I think it just comes down to Rosa and Britt not liking each other.

[Mid-Carder]

Britt is aware that Rosa has a child? That changes everything, she can't just be at the shows every week.

Also did she expect Adam Cole to be at the shows every week? It really just comes across as personal dislike at this stage.

Yeah, it's....weirdly personal at this stage.

Rosa and Britt vs a standard zombie, if Rosa and Britt win humanity survives and there's no apocalypse.

Spoiler alert, they never touch the zombie, they kill each other, and the apocalypse.

[Mozenrath]

I get that there's a kernel of "do out of ring stuff at AEW shows, then", but it also betrays Britt's inexperience. If Thunder Rosa did that when she was nowhere near ready to return, it'd create expectations that she'd be back in the ring soon, and she can't now seemingly, and sure as hell couldn't then.

Furthermore, if you think that's the case, talk to Tony Khan. If TK's fine with it, congrats, so are you because it's not your call to make.
