Vince gave us uncountable great moments and events. Tony Khan just gave the wrestling industry a place where talent it totally overpaid and a wannabe version of the Monday Night Wars
As a black wrestling fan, I’d actually prefer she not address over giving a fake apology that she doesn’t mean. That’s just me, but I don’t see how that would change anything
Theres 1 or 2 options. One Tessa has such an ego that she thinks she's better than everyone else or two her lawyer told her not to say anything. But I'm going with the ladder option, which is her ego got in the way
@EmperorImmortalPhoenix757 it's probably both man. I could imagine her not thinking she had to and any part of her that wanted to say something got pushed down when her agent said it wouldn't be a good idea to address it.
I agree with both ya, I don't think an apology one way or the other does anything. People are still gonna either believe she deserves the 2nd chance or not either way.
2024 saw chronologically: - The Rock nearly fucking up WrestleMania - TK airing the All-In footage - WWE signing the biggest TV wrestling deal in history - TK freezing Ricky Starks and Rey Fenix - Tessa Blanchard coming back to a major pro wrestling company Basically this year was about backstage ambient lol
“The Rock nearly fucking up Wrestlemania” Proceeds to make it like 10x better than it would’ve been by having some awareness and pivoting to the correct direction.
Why do you hate the rock lol you hardcore fans are lame in real life us who get pussy in a normal weekly basis wanted to see Roman vs rock 😂 yall weirdos man
Rock nearly fucked it up in the backstage realm, I will be the fist to tell you that what we got was fantastic. You can't deny that as soon as he said he wanted to be involved (the day before the Rumble), the writing was all fucked up because the story was about Cody but it shifted immediately towards Dwayne. So, he nearly fucked it up backstage lol
I'm cool with Tessa coming back to TNA as long as she's made amends with the people she needed to make them with. Give her a chance to prove thats she a changed person. I wouldn't have her beat Jordynne though. Let her work her way back up the card and prove she's worth the investment.
1. Grace isn't even champion. 2. Tessa doesn't need to do a public apology. Assuming the allegations are true, she she only apologize to the people she wronged and it seems she has done so. 3. This mirrors CM Punks return. Granted, he doesnt have racial allegations, but he burned many bridges and alot of people still harbor ill will towards him. And much like you have talked about when it was concerning CM Punk working with the Bucks, if you are a professional, you make it work. You can't just say "Nah that doesnt work for me brother."
No, Tessa's situation doesn't mirror Punk's, as racism and 'burning bridges' are two different things. She burned bridges THROUGH racism, which Punk did not. And you're on a long list of residences where Punk gets to live rent free.
Tony Khan stepping down along with all his yes men would be the greatest day in AEW history. We all know that won’t happen though and nothing will ever change
I disagree on the Jordan Grace take. So she should only have to drop the title to someone if she personally likes them? Sounds ridiculous. I don't care about Tessa Blanchard 1 way or the other, but if that's who TNA wants and Jordan is leaving anyways, who gives a shit what she thinks? At least that what i would think if i were in the company
Congratulations to Tessa Blanchard on being signed with TNA impact wrestling. Plus, from here, everyone is still waiting for her apology that'll never happen & as far as the AEW superstars being appalled at Tony Khan for what happened with Toni Storm creatively it just doesn't do any good to dwell on it just go talk to Tony Khan himself if it's bothering you all that much. Man I love this OTS extra.
Good for Tessa. I love her. TNA needs her with Jordynne going to NXT. These people need to get over it and let this young lady make a living. Past is past. She doesn’t need a belt right away. Let’s see if she has changed. Change the narrative.
Even worse cuz TNA is gonna fuck her over for Tessa after Masha has spent years in TNA making a name for herself and finally got a signature win at BFG
On the flip side, WWE was great tonight. HHH swerved the fans. Most people thought it would be Tiffany vs. Bayley tomorrow night, but it's going to be Chelsea vs. Michin.
Daily uploads are great, JD, but make sure you don’t overwork yourself and risk burnout. We have exciting times ahead in the world of pro wrestling, and I’m sure you’re just as excited, if not more, than I am. Have a great weekend! 🍺
"Burnout" or Agita? Dude's passion is admirable, but the ranting and raving is dangerous for his heart health. Not being funny, as I work in the medical field, and deal a lot with Blood Pressure.
I stopped watching Dynamite even ordering PPV. JD is right as always. Tony has become Vince McMahon. It is sad because i believe AEW roster is stronger than WWE, but there is no story, no long-term booking. What a bad way to waste your talent.
On the Toni Storm coming back on Rampage....I love AEW and I think the show's the last couple of weeks have been better BUT I have no faith that things are going to continue to be good AND trying to boost viewership of a DEAD show is absurd. Advertise her return for a couple of weeks and make her return HUGE and boost ratings on your Flagship...Tony is CLUELESS.
Jordynne Grace is as a good as gone and that's pretty shitty by Anthem to just bring her back while not telling anyone in TNA they're doing it. She'll definitely be in the Royal Rumble for the second year in a row. Tony Khan and AEW just make me angry as a Wrestling Fan with the decisions being made behind the scenes there.
@@aaronpitts6749 I think she said something racist to a colleague, but JD said they both have been seen in pictures together recently so I’m sure an apology was made
If Tessa actually did what was alleged then ok give an apology. What I can't wrap my mind around is how a 5'5 130 woman somehow bullied an entire locker room of other women that includes people like Chelsea Green if I'm not mistaken... How does not one woman just stand up and slap the taste out of her mouth? I get how some guys couldn't stand up to Brock Lesnar, couldn't really slap Undertaker for taking a shit in their gym bag (allegedly).. but Tessa ? Not one woman defended themselves 🤷🏻♂️
3 straight weeks of now being in the 500,000 viewership range is just atrocious. With this direction I wonder what their ratings will be 3-4 months from now smh. The talent there don't deserve this. All this talent and Tony's booking is destroying everything smh.
No, they did 594,000 on Wednesday. So for a few months they dropped to the 600,000 range. Now they are in the 500,000 range smh. In a few months if they drop to the 400,000 range...smh...it will be an even more travesty. This goof of an owner has zero self awareness and simply won't accept he is the root cause of this. The man won't stop the bleeding smh.
3:57 who gives a crap about what those people gotta say. So everything that’s allege actually happened. People just want to react with their feelings and not common sense.
We all know public apologies dont do well nowadays and never understood why would she need too keep that shit private she hasnt said those slurs too us.
The AEW roster signed up to be living action figures for a manchild who wants to play with his toys. He’s not a booker, he’s a child following his current whims.
Oh no i upset my roster! Yeah be a nice guy like Tony, see how that worked out for him. If bringing Tessa back can be good for business thats all that matters. She doesn't have to make a public apology just because people made their personal and professional lives public. If you work as a construction worker do you have to get on X and say sorry to everyone on there because rude comments you made to someone on the job? Hey if you got into an argument with your boyfriend or girlfriend at home and called them a name and they got mad and wrote what you said do you now owe the world an apology?
To be fair your opening statement about Tessa the same exact thing could’ve been said about punk when he returned to WWE, granted his weren’t racism allegations but he had deep deep baggage and a lot of heat with the roster and WWE pulled the trigger, you also didn’t have issue with hogan when he came back to wwe with his half assed apology to the roster so if they got those breaks and chances Tessa should be given that same courtesy to see if she changed for the better and mend fences with whomever she has heat with, punk didn’t apologize to anybody either, he did everything face to face with the people he had issues with and it was water under the bridge, Tessa should be give the same opportunity
If Tessa Blanchard gets another chance, then Velveteen Dream, Enzo Amore, Odyssey Jones, and Austin Aries deserves a second chance too 🥈!!!! Sidenote: Tessa Blanchard needs to apologize!!!
The whole Tessa situation is a load of bs, she doesn’t owe anybody an apology, if it’s true what was alleged the only person she needs to apologize is to the person that she said those things to and the iwc can screw itself
@ it is, wrestlers don’t owe crap to fans, if the people involved in the issue made peace with each other Tessa doesn’t have to apologize to people she hasn’t done crap to
She fucking ran off with the impact title and fuck us fans out of that title for months, so yes it is about the fans as well, how many chances does this bitch need?!?
Nothing wrong with TNA giving Tessa a 2nd chance. There are p. o.s people all across the industry/world, as long as she "plays along" then I see nothing wrong with it. I mean, guys like Del Rio was rehired in Wwe. Low Ki and Austin Aries have been rehired multiple times in TNA. Give her a chance and fire her if she show any sign of still being a problem.
As long as her and the woman involved have made amends, thats all that matters. Its no one else's business what happens backstage between the talent. Look, aew is Tony's business. He can run it however he wants. Percs of being president of your own company. We may not like it, but its his fkn company.
Never say never. Blanchard's talent, despite her controversial past, is no question the reason why they brought her back. Can people change and learned from their shortcomings? Yes. Let's see how she handles her new situation.
Pubic apology for what? I don’t need that.. it’s none of my business. For all we know she apologized to each individual and the company privately. If so, good. We complain about cancel culture and then turn around and try to cancel
You know, if Tony Khan gets too much stress over AEW, since he has ownership of an NFL team, and has his TruMedia, he might just cut ties to the business of Professional Wrestling, and he and his father could easily sell AEW and ROH to the owners of New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW), which NJPW's American subsidiary, New Japan Pro Wrestling of America (NJoA) would be the parent company of AEW, and NJPW Strong could merge into ROH.
The amount of AEW Sickos I saw yesterday say they were cancelling their Observer subscription because they’re tired of Alvarez and his CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM on the AEW product 😂 a bunch of delusional softies
Everybody deserves a second chance. I like Tessa and it seems based on her recent discussions about her life and maturing from the things she did, she is a different woman now. If she personally apologized to the woman, that's all that matters. But she knows this is her last shot to make things and keep things right going forward. So hopefully she can finish her career on a good note.
Shes been away for years she deserves a second chance. She didn't kill somebody , we've all said and done stupid shit and we all have a right to make a living.
She didn't address the public with a slur, she did to a specific wrestlers who is apparently cool with her mow. Lol, people are Way Too Sensitive. Yes, slurs are ridiculous and extremely immature, but at the end, it's a fucking word. Get over it.
these wrestler are so weak and the fans too. Not like you have to be her friend. Go out do you job and shut up. I hate all my coworkers but I cant change them. Its a job your going to not like everyone. If you disagree with her just don't hang out with the broad.
True, true, coworkers don't have to like each other, but I if was your coworker and you called me a racial slur, there would be a problem. And it applies to me in reverse calling you a racial slur. No room for that rubbish in the WORKPLACE.
She held that belt hostage so I wouldn't trust her again, but that's just me. If the guy in TNA can trust her, that's cool and I hope she redeems herself and proves herself to be a hard working and unselfish member of the roster.
Tessa should be in aew her vs Mercedes might be good especially given Tessa’s allegations might actually turn Mercedes but Tony is too busy being worried about who knows what instead of putting out a great product
I’m a black man. Am I woke for not caring for Tessa’s in-ring return? Why should I care about a woman who has taken away her reason for me to? The ignorance with some of you fans genuinely floors me.
I think they are scrambling for talent. I believe many talents are leaving early 2025. I think NXT men’s division is going to get a boost. And Jordan already has 1 foot in WWE.
The owner of Anthem, TNA’s parent company, Len Asper is a character. I believe he’s the one who directly fired Scott D'Amore. I also found something from a former employee from one of his other companies, who said he’s all talk when it comes to caring about workplace bullying.
As a black man, I've seen many, many examples of people saying racial slurs and needing to go away for a while. They always seem to come back and given some kind of reward. It's actually one of the things our family warns us about growing up.
TKMcMahon is the best term to describe this situation: someone in charge of a promotion that refuses to listen to feedback because he’s too infatuated with the BS that his Yes-Men-&-Women constantly feeding him within the echo chamber they manifested for himself and it’s really frustrating to see. And I don’t blame you JD for the passionate YELLING because your criticism towards AEW is 100% Valid.
I used to be a fan of Tessa Blanchard until after what happened 4 years ago with no apology after being accused of what she said due to her having mental health problems. Sounds to me that TNA is about taking two steps backwards.
LMAO AEW'S roster is appalled by tony khan's booking to him he thinks everything's great it just keeps getting worse for AEW man the comparisons to vince mcmahon continues to be true day by day tessa Blanchard back in TNA yet another LOLTNA moment i thought they would get better after scott D'amore got fired back in February this is a disaster waiting to happen IMO.
A wrestling novice would know not to book your top star on the C show. If it's gonna be a big return, you need to have her in the main event so people get pumped for a good angle and/or a great match. Khan putting Storm on the cancelled show is like saying she's about to be lost in the shuffle.
Anthem Sports and Entertainment management sees TNA Wrestling as a tax write off, doesn't want to put full investment in TNA Wrestling as a company, but really doesn't want to sell TNA Wrestling to the likes of Scott D'Amore, which they fired, because they, at Anthem couldn't trust him. Remember, Anthem Sports and Entertainment recently screwed I over current Maple Leaf Pro (MLP) Wrestling owner, Scott D'Amore, screwed over TNA Wrestling co-founder, TNA fomer owner, and current AEW Director of Business Development, Jeff Jarrett and Anthem Sports and Entertainment also screwed over current National Wrestling Alliance owner, Billy Corgan.
Considering Grace's husband is Black, I'm sure she's thrilled about this turn of events. We all mess up somewhere in life, but by not apologizing, that says alot about Blanchard's character.
AEW literally has 3 special Dynamites in a month span (Winter is Coming, Holiday Bash, Fight for the Fallen). WHY would you not promote her return for Fight for the Fallen which will be starved for any meaningful match after a packed December??
If Tessa made good with the person she’s wrong then people need to shut up and get over it. She doesn’t owe the public a damn thing if she’s made peace with the person who was actually wronged. The IWC is trash at times man
Yeah, Tessa back in TNA, that's certainly a surprise, to say the least. Yeah, it's a matter of forgive and forget, and while some people might not ever do the latter, the former is the most important thing.
Why would anyone working at a different promotion care about someone working at ano company? Blackballing someone for speech is stupid .. no matter how grotesque it is.
Jordynne Grace is no longer TNA Women's Champion. It's Masha Slamovich. Sorry for the confusion.
It's gonna suck for Masha. Along with Grace, she has been killing it.
Masha deserves better one of the few good things about TNA right now
Thanks for the correction JD. I don`t regularly watch TNA and knew Slamovich was champ. Great show.
No problem everyone makes mistakes
Probably why also Grace.is not the champion anymore as well.
Tony became Vince quicker than Vince himself lol
Comparing tony to a sexcrazed piece of shit is really low and you should be ashamed
Did TK $hit on women?😏
😂😂😂😂😂
Vince McMahon was actually successful though.
Vince gave us uncountable great moments and events. Tony Khan just gave the wrestling industry a place where talent it totally overpaid and a wannabe version of the Monday Night Wars
I guess this is AEW’s December to Dismember…
Part 2
As a black wrestling fan, I’d actually prefer she not address over giving a fake apology that she doesn’t mean. That’s just me, but I don’t see how that would change anything
@domlitt9001 exactly. I rather see an overt racist than a covert one
I know Tessa has said a lot of ignorant and racist things but strangely she's only dated black and latino guys
Theres 1 or 2 options. One Tessa has such an ego that she thinks she's better than everyone else or two her lawyer told her not to say anything. But I'm going with the ladder option, which is her ego got in the way
@EmperorImmortalPhoenix757 it's probably both man. I could imagine her not thinking she had to and any part of her that wanted to say something got pushed down when her agent said it wouldn't be a good idea to address it.

I don't think most are calling for a "public apology", but NO, she did not apologize to the offended party.

Nothing wrong with TNA giving Tessa a 2nd chance. There are p. o.s people all across the industry/world, as long as she "plays along" then I see nothing wrong with it. I mean, guys like Del Rio was rehired in Wwe. Low Ki and Austin Aries have been rehired multiple times in TNA. Give her a chance and fire her if she show any sign of still being a problem.
As long as her and the woman involved have made amends, thats all that matters. Its no one else's business what happens backstage between the talent. Look, aew is Tony's business. He can run it however he wants. Percs of being president of your own company. We may not like it, but its his fkn company.
Never say never. Blanchard's talent, despite her controversial past, is no question the reason why they brought her back. Can people change and learned from their shortcomings? Yes.
Let's see how she handles her new situation.
Pubic apology for what? I don’t need that.. it’s none of my business. For all we know she apologized to each individual and the company privately. If so, good. We complain about cancel culture and then turn around and try to cancel
You know, if Tony Khan gets too much stress over AEW, since he has ownership of an NFL team, and has his TruMedia, he might just cut ties to the business of Professional Wrestling, and he and his father could easily sell AEW and ROH to the owners of New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW), which NJPW's American subsidiary, New Japan Pro Wrestling of America (NJoA) would be the parent company of AEW, and NJPW Strong could merge into ROH.
The amount of AEW Sickos I saw yesterday say they were cancelling their Observer subscription because they’re tired of Alvarez and his CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM on the AEW product 😂 a bunch of delusional softies
Everybody deserves a second chance. I like Tessa and it seems based on her recent discussions about her life and maturing from the things she did, she is a different woman now. If she personally apologized to the woman, that's all that matters. But she knows this is her last shot to make things and keep things right going forward. So hopefully she can finish her career on a good note.
Tony Mckhan failing everyday is more entertaining then anything he puts on television
All Tessa Blanchard had to do is apologize That's it
Shes been away for years she deserves a second chance. She didn't kill somebody , we've all said and done stupid shit and we all have a right to make a living.
She had a second chance in WOW and squandered that too
She didn't address the public with a slur, she did to a specific wrestlers who is apparently cool with her mow. Lol, people are Way Too Sensitive. Yes, slurs are ridiculous and extremely immature, but at the end, it's a fucking word. Get over it.
Wow they really did Toni Storm dirty.
these wrestler are so weak and the fans too. Not like you have to be her friend. Go out do you job and shut up. I hate all my coworkers but I cant change them. Its a job your going to not like everyone. If you disagree with her just don't hang out with the broad.
True, true, coworkers don't have to like each other, but I if was your coworker and you called me a racial slur, there would be a problem. And it applies to me in reverse calling you a racial slur. No room for that rubbish in the WORKPLACE.
@MADGUNSMONSTER if racial slurs hurt you suck st life
There are plenty of things to criticize the IWC for; demanding an apology for racist remarks is not one of them.
JD youtube channel > Denise & Fightful RUclips channel
She held that belt hostage so I wouldn't trust her again, but that's just me. If the guy in TNA can trust her, that's cool and I hope she redeems herself and proves herself to be a hard working and unselfish member of the roster.
Tessa should be in aew her vs Mercedes might be good especially given Tessa’s allegations might actually turn Mercedes but Tony is too busy being worried about who knows what instead of putting out a great product
black people wouldn't except that Tony don't like her either 😅
@ that’s the point Eric said it best controversy creates cash
I couldn't care less if woke TNA Wrestlers or fans are upset.
Define woke please.
@@davidblank420they cant
Isn’t it an oxymoron for a company called TNA to be woke? Makes no sense.
I’m a black man. Am I woke for not caring for Tessa’s in-ring return? Why should I care about a woman who has taken away her reason for me to? The ignorance with some of you fans genuinely floors me.
Wtf does that mean
I think they are scrambling for talent. I believe many talents are leaving early 2025. I think NXT men’s division is going to get a boost. And Jordan already has 1 foot in WWE.
The owner of Anthem, TNA’s parent company, Len Asper is a character. I believe he’s the one who directly fired Scott D'Amore. I also found something from a former employee from one of his other companies, who said he’s all talk when it comes to caring about workplace bullying.
As a black man, I've seen many, many examples of people saying racial slurs and needing to go away for a while. They always seem to come back and given some kind of reward. It's actually one of the things our family warns us about growing up.
TKMcMahon is the best term to describe this situation: someone in charge of a promotion that refuses to listen to feedback because he’s too infatuated with the BS that his Yes-Men-&-Women constantly feeding him within the echo chamber they manifested for himself and it’s really frustrating to see.
And I don’t blame you JD for the passionate YELLING because your criticism towards AEW is 100% Valid.
TNA gets what they paid for. That’s all I’ll say. What could go wrong right?
JD you have ALWAYS kept it real when it pertains to both WWE and AEW. I am thankful as a wrestling fan to have you keeping it 💯 in the space.
Tony would book becky lynch return on wwe superstars on Hulu 😂
I used to be a fan of Tessa Blanchard until after what happened 4 years ago with no apology after being accused of what she said due to her having mental health problems. Sounds to me that TNA is about taking two steps backwards.
LMAO AEW'S roster is appalled by tony khan's booking to him he thinks everything's great it just keeps getting worse for AEW man the comparisons to vince mcmahon continues to be true day by day tessa Blanchard back in TNA yet another LOLTNA moment i thought they would get better after scott D'amore got fired back in February this is a disaster waiting to happen IMO.
A wrestling novice would know not to book your top star on the C show. If it's gonna be a big return, you need to have her in the main event so people get pumped for a good angle and/or a great match. Khan putting Storm on the cancelled show is like saying she's about to be lost in the shuffle.
I am baffled that TK wants to make Rampage important in its last days when it wasn't a place of importance since CM Punk's pro wrestling return!
In all fairness, the racist thing might actually double sales in Long Island...
Anthem Sports and Entertainment management sees TNA Wrestling as a tax write off, doesn't want to put full investment in TNA Wrestling as a company, but really doesn't want to sell TNA Wrestling to the likes of Scott D'Amore, which they fired, because they, at Anthem couldn't trust him.
Remember, Anthem Sports and Entertainment recently screwed I over current Maple Leaf Pro (MLP) Wrestling owner, Scott D'Amore, screwed over TNA Wrestling co-founder, TNA fomer owner, and current AEW Director of Business Development, Jeff Jarrett and Anthem Sports and Entertainment also screwed over current National Wrestling Alliance owner, Billy Corgan.
@@Mr.Majestic77 disagree tna is the top show for anthems networks They are investing more and more especially next year with the big arenas
Considering Grace's husband is Black, I'm sure she's thrilled about this turn of events. We all mess up somewhere in life, but by not apologizing, that says alot about Blanchard's character.
Tessa doesn’t need to make a public apology. Up to her, her co workers, and tna.
Didn't Tessa drop a duce in a bag and sell it to a mark? 😂😂😂
AEW literally has 3 special Dynamites in a month span (Winter is Coming, Holiday Bash, Fight for the Fallen). WHY would you not promote her return for Fight for the Fallen which will be starved for any meaningful match after a packed December??
If Tessa made good with the person she’s wrong then people need to shut up and get over it. She doesn’t owe the public a damn thing if she’s made peace with the person who was actually wronged. The IWC is trash at times man
Tessa doesn't need to do shit publicly.
She should
Agreed.
What is the evidence that an "overwhelming majority" of the TNA wrestlers are upset about Tessa being hired?
Tessa is needed in wrestling. Im sorry but shes to great of a talent. I believe her behavior will not be a problem
I’m glad TNA brought her back, everyone deserves a 2nd chance. If other talent don’t like it then to damn bad. They should mind their own business.
This decision wouldn't let the WWE team with TNA at that point
Apparently Tessa is a tag champion with Red Velvet and she was saying Tessa should be signed to AEW.
I highly suspect that Tony Khan is booking AEW with ChatGPT.
Would a beat down angle for Toni Storm work, which sets up a match at Worlds End?
TNA and AEW has been making some of the dumbest decisions in wrestling in awhile and it's costing them
Yeah, Tessa back in TNA, that's certainly a surprise, to say the least. Yeah, it's a matter of forgive and forget, and while some people might not ever do the latter, the former is the most important thing.
Why would anyone working at a different promotion care about someone working at ano company?
Blackballing someone for speech is stupid .. no matter how grotesque it is.
