So, Thunder Rosa Calls Out "Disrespectful Fans" At This Past Weekend's Warrior Wrestling Show, BUT.. There's Something SHE'S Forgotten


 

By Bill Walkowitz

Thunder Rosa lashed out over something she heard during her match at Warrior Wrestling’s show outside Chicago Saturday night. one or two fans were heard making a comment directed at Athena, who was formerly known as Ember Moon in WWE. After the match, Rosa took a microphone and responded to what she heard.

“I’m gonna tell everybody that has been talking sh*t about what we do today here, have some respect for the women who are putting their lives in danger here,” Rosa said. “Anybody that was saying bad stuff about us, you have no right to talk about us like that.  We’re just like one of the boys in the back. If you come to the show – If you come to a show, and you are being disrespectful to the athletes, you have no right to be here.”


You can see that clip here. https://twitter.com/W_W_U_Clips/status/1492892733693964288


But actually, Rosa? YES they do have a right to be there. They bought that right the moment they bought that ticket. 


She said in a tweet that "Disrespect won't be tolerated"



Um, it HAS BEEN for decades, where the fuck she been?


Since NO OTHER Wrestling Writer at ANY OTHER wrestling news site will have the guts to say this, it'll always be up to someone here at WP&P to go ahead and say it. SSOO, I'll go ahead and educate Little Miss Rosa on the obvious that she's obviously forgotten. 

When a fan buys a ticket to ANY show, Indie or major company like AEW and WWE, they buy the right, to SAY, anything they want. It's been that way for decades and it'll continue to be, that way for decades to come.

No matter how hard you wanna try and do it, you CAN'T, control what fans will say so wave the white flag and accept the things you can not change. Because you'll never be able to change or control what fans will say at shows. No matter WHO, you are.


Nice try though.


No matter how 'disrespectful' a fan is verbally, they have that right cause? They bought that ticket. Without fans buying tickets to shows, you have no fans at shows. So wrestlers KNOW, they have to accept ANYTHING a fan says. it comes with the territory of people wanting to 'live their dream' being a professional wrestler.

So the sooner Rosa can conceive that concept and just accept that this has been the way it's always been and it will always be, the sooner she can get off her high horse. 


You can tell her she can thank me for this education, any time she wants to. 




And here's Why Josh Alexander Was "Sent Home" On Impact.


 By Gino Bradley

The Canadian resident can't work in the United States again until his visa issues are resolved.

When former Impact World and X-Division Champion Josh Alexander was taken off this Saturday's No Surrender show, most assumed it was just part of an ongoing storyline given how it was presented.


Alexander revealed on Twitter Monday that his Impact Wrestling contract has expired which means his U.S. work visa has also expired. The Canadian is therefore unable to work in the U.S. until that is resolved.

The 34-year-old Alexander was booked in a four-way elimination match at Terminus' second event later this month in addition to an AML Wrestling event also later this month. He will miss both of them.

Last Thursday, Impact VP Scott D'Amore removed Alexander from the five-on-five Team Impact vs. Honor No More match set for Saturday and was "sent home." Alexander has been campaigning for a World title rematch since he both won and lost the title on the same night at last October's Bound for Glory.





Ask An Honest And Truthful Question, And Then Watch How Some "Marks" Get In An Uproar About It (LMAO)

 

By Bill Walkowitz

All I did was ask one, simple yet truth question, and boy how the 'marks' come out of the woodwork crying, LOL!

Guess they don't like it when one has the balls to actually step up and ask the obvious, eh?


This all comes from the YouTube Channel where this story was posted earlier today. 

https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2022/02/matt-hardy-on-jeff-hardys-last-wwe.html




God forbid someone has the guts to ask the obvious question that nobody else seems to have the balls to ask.

I'll add more screen grabs as the convo there continues.

Couple Quick Announcements


 By Gino Bradley

First a special shout out (again) to Eric Renner of Meltzer's Observer/Figure Four Online, Eric Mutter, Kellie Haulotte, Mark Middleton and Matthew Wilkinson of WrestlingInc, as well as Paul Jordan over at PWInsider. The staff here at WP&P still find it amusing that the owners of the sites you write for dislike our site but you nonetheless continue to get ideas from 'here' so you can use them 'over there'. 


It's very nice to know you're fans of this site. We're glad we can provide those 'ideas' for you (smiles)


Second, for the people who used our 'contact form' to inform us of the issues you have when you use a mobile device to access this site, over the last couple of days we've made 'adjustments' to where this site is now 'mobile friendly'. Hopefully this will now give you a more pleasurable experience when you come visit this site.


Third, Our main staff writer Bill Walkowitz over the next couple of days will be reposting older articles he wrote for places such as the old Wrestling Then And Now Newsletter that Evan Ginzburg ran in the 90's, as well as articles of his time working for Sylvano Sousa's Atlantic Wrestling Federation, Fred Sparta's WWA New England, and Eastern Wrestling Alliance. 

One I'm looking forward to seeing posted here was when the late Dennis Coralluzzo, Tommy Fierro and others back in 1997, made harassing phone calls from New Jersey to where Bill lived at the time in New Hampshire. It's a very interesting story of how Bill got 'heat' for something wrote (which was a true story) and how Bill turned the tables on Dennis, Tommy, etc. 

Bill got heat back then and he still does today, which is one of the reasons why, this site has been the success it has been.


Lastly, if you have a comment, suggestion or opinion you'd like to express to us, please by all means use our 'contact form' that's located on the right side of the site. Either I, Bill or Donnie Henderson will promptly give you a response. 


Thank you all who come to this site, we hope you enjoy what we post here and encourage you to let others know about it. Your patronage is very appreciated by everyone here at Wrestling Past And Present.

Jim Cornette Reviews Jay White's AEW Debut Appearance on Dynamite (With A Note Added To This About Cornette And Last's Laziness)


 




https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoWgo8nBvVY



Added note by Bill Walkowitz


An added note to this, Cornette asked if White ever wrestled in the United States. I guess had he and Brian Last weren't so fucking lazy, they could've done a search on Google and found out instantly that YES, he HAS wrestled in the United States.


Look how easy it was to get this answer. twenty fucking seconds, is it really that hard for them to take twenty fucking seconds to do some actual research?


I guess the answer is obvious, yes it is that hard for them.






https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7-wx9dmC_g




I left a reply showing that research could be their friend if they actually took the time to actually DO, some research.




You feel like telling them they got slammed for their laziness by me, go ahead. What are they gonna do?


Nothing, cause it's the truth. 


It's not my fault they decided to be lazy and not spend a few seconds doing the research.
