In an episode of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, AEW wrestling star Thunder Rosa put forth her views on the recent remarks from TBS Champion Mercedes Mone. Mone expressed having “mixed emotions” about the degree of violence in the AEW All Out 2024 pay-per-view event.
Below are some takeaways from the podcast discussion:
Commenting on her participation in hardcore matches, she says, “I established my career through a hardcore match, a Lights Out match. Followed by a cage match, which was extremely brutal. I took part in street fights, and the Texas Bullrope match left me seriously injured. Professional wrestling involves various degrees of violence or brutality, and the boundaries are pushed every time.”
Talking about AEW’s occasional extreme content, Rosa remarks, “Everyone is entitled to their feelings, especially when it comes to such matches. These types of matches may not be to everyone’s liking. It’s not fair to criticize fans for their views, but it’s clear that AEW often likes to push the envelope.”
Speaking on the explicit nature of some of AEW’s content, she warns, “Viewers need to exercise caution because some content is not suitable for young audiences. Some of the content is tailored for adults.”
