Over the course of this weekend, AAA’s Vampiro and Tessa Blanchard had a bit of a disagreement over Twitter, after Blanchard tweeting out “Be Original”.
In a now deleted comment Vampiro posted, ”You’re my friend. I like your comment. Don’t take pictures that show your butt. Your beautiful, very, but show your strength as an athlete, and continue to inspire. I support you huge, change the way we look at women in our Industry! Your other pics, you should be a model!” (Obtained by WrestlingInc)
Tessa Blanchard took to her Twitter account in response to the negative post:
I see a strong, athletic, bad ass, empowering woman Main Eventing an @IMPACTWRESTLING PPV. I work very hard to stay in the shape of an elite athlete…I’m not naive, but I would expect for someone, esp. in the business, to notice that I don’t & have never relied on my sexuality. https://t.co/UUwZLtvpKk

In addition, Impact Wrestling’s Knockout Champion Taya Valkyrie spoke her mind on Vampiro’s negative comment.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 What a stupid and ridiculous comment. But we all know he’s really good and stupid and ridiculous comments. We all bust our asses to be the best, look our best and perform our best. If I want to post a pic of my butt it’s my prerogative. Our bodies our lives. Fuck off V. https://t.co/8NyCiumwSe
