Thunder Rosa On Being Contacted By WWE – Involvement in WOW – Being a POC In Wrestling
Thunder Rosa seems to be having a banner year for her career. Recently announced to participate in the NWA studio taping, signing to an MMA promotion and being featured on Women of Wrestling on AXS TV. It seems that since Lucha Underground ended, Rosa has been nothing but busy.
She recently was interviewed by Fightful on a number of topics – highlights are below.
Why she’s with WOW:
“Well, really, because it’s something completely different than what is on TV, right now. You don’t have women’s wrestling shows, like, all women’s wrestling shows, playing on TV. I feel like that WOW has a great, gives a great platform, a great opportunity for us as performers and wrestlers to show the world that, you know, we’re just as great of athletes as anybody else in this business,”
Being contacted by WWE:
“I was [contacted by WWE], but not on what I was expecting. AEW, I have not been contacted by them. I have been contacted by other companies. Right now, I’m staying as independent as possible. I’m honestly really happy right now, with what I’m doing,
If she’s working singles or tags in WOW:
“It’s been singles, mostly. I can’t really talk about the future, because I don’t really know. They allow me to do a lot of things, which is really awesome, because I was not able to do a lot of that previously, in Lucha Underground,“
Being a woman of color in wrestling:
We have a disadvantage in the business, and yeah, people will take advantage of you. They don’t either give you opportunities you think you deserve, or they don’t give you a push. It’s important that as we of people of color, and I’m a citizen, and I’m really proud of being a citizen, that we’re treated with respect, and we’re treated right
