Following Sexy Star posting a lengthy message on social media explaining what happened at AAA TripleMania last week.

Below is a transcription of the post via PWInsider:

“First of all I want to thank the people who have been with me these days that have become a nightmare and one of the most difficult moments of my career and my personal life.As some of you know, last Saturday, August 26th, I attended the TRIPLEMANIA XVV event, at the Mexico City Arena, to fulfill a championship fight, from the company AAA, which I contracted as an independent, to reuse the Sexy Star Mask, a character I’ve worked with for 11 years.

At first I was informed that this championship would be REINA de REINAS in a one on one with one of the Mexican women who belongs to the company, but a few days to go before the event, I was informed that they would include two more fighters , among them a North American woman belonging to the company Global Force Wrestling, that AAA company contract as an external, that to my knowledge, never fought in Mexico or at least never for the Mexican company and which I met minutes before going up to fulfill the fight, for which I am contracted.

As I have done for more than ten years, when I came to the place, I would approach those who would participate in the fight, to coordinate the show that we presented to the public, being responsible for the event (Lucha AAA) who indicated with precision, what would happen in combat.

As it is my custom and especially when I am going to fight with someone with whom I have not worked and more being foreigners – the styles of fight change a lot between country and country – especially I went with the American, I asked her if she felt good with what or if she wanted to change something, to feel more confident in the ring, those who have worked with me, know that I always do so, with the idea of ??protecting from any incident those who work with me and myself, not only for ethics and for values ??that in my house have taught me, in which they include the companionship, but because I have always had the awareness of the danger that we run all those who work in the fight, be it our first fight or the number one hundred. I want to clarify that she never asked me to verify or mark what we would present, something that is always important for me, so I assumed that she knew and would have control of everything that we would do. Being the talent coordinator of AAA who gave the “OK” to go up without performing the fight without a previous approach.

I come to the moment of the fight, I went up to the pancracio(?) to realize the spectacle that I have usually presented to the combative public, for many years, in the same way, with the same energy and delivery, with the same style and fury that has characterized ” Sexy Star “in absolutely all her bouts.

The fight comes to its end, when I submitted the American woman, with the punishment that was indicated to me, that was selected for being, in the range of dangerousness one of the lowest level, and that I have repeatedly applied and have applied me – a punishment that as I repeat, in the range of danger is one of the least has been so ever.

At the end of the show and after the foreign woman went down by her own foot, and without the need for any medical assistance, she followed the usual protocol, I handed the belt to Martha Villabolos, whom I deeply admire and who even taught me a lot in my first approaches to this sport, which I love with all my heart and that has cost me injuries, sacrifices and that has forced me to be constant in my preparation to strengthen my body and withstand falls, postures – few know the secrets of the fight and if in this letter I reveal some, it is for security to my integrity, out of respect for the career that has given me so much in the professional and personal, I do not think to punctuate more, just say that those who have preserved their career with ups and downs, with falls and rises, with injuries and bleeding, understand what I mean.

After twenty minutes and finished the protocol of the delivery of the belt, go down to locker rooms where I was approached by people in charge of Global Force Wrestling and who has a working relationship with the AAA company, who claimed in the language of their country, an alleged injury to the fighter I submitted, something that surprised me, since as I reiterate, she went down without anyone from the ring.

Immediately and not just for ethics, but because I was worried, I went to see that she was well, and I found her talking to another companion, standing in the production monitoring room, only with an ice pack in her elbow, no There was no paramedic or person attending. She was not even on a stretcher – a safety protocol that is taken when there is a suspicion of injury – but she was not even seated, that gave me peace of mind because, from my own eyes, I saw that it was not bad, she had not hurt herself. Then the AAA talent coordinator told me that everything was fine, so I would leave the place with my husband, with the peace and security that everything was fine and without any indication of Mr. Dorian Roldan, owner of the company AAA, who I want to assume, had there been any problem, would not have allowed me to go without clarifying some kind of situation.

You also have to know that I never received a medical report and there is no x-ray that shows, some type of injury in which was my companion of fight.

I do not worry about the situation, because I repeat with my own eyes, I saw that she had not been injured, I did not suppose, I noticed that she was not taken care of by paramedics, nor was she moved, much less used medical equipment or stretcher, as when someone is injured. In my fight career I have seen injuries and I myself have been victims of accidents and believe me, there was nothing that is, that night in TRIPLEMANIA XXV, after the fight for the championship REINA de REINAS.

The following day I began to receive in social networks a series of cybernet attacks, that included a letter with aggressions, written by the American woman, where she affirmed only in text, without showing some photograph or medical report and already in her country of residence, inclusion without giving the face or voice, that I had intentionally injured her.

This letter was widely disseminated by American men and women wrestlers, with whom I have never worked and much less were in the place and who added texts affirming my supposed anti-professionalism, supporting their words with the letter of the American, which had already reached more than 4 thousand retweets.

The harassment in social networks was growing and came also from bloggers and media, who were not in the place, who did not cover the event, media that do not even work in Mexico, media that had no hesitation in heading their note with words like “She dislocated the shoulder purposely” others “intentionally breaks her arm” affirmed the alleged injury, having only as a reference the letter raised to Twitter by the American and the video of the end of the fight from several angles, where in no time is observed the injured woman, and on the contrary she is seen to lower of the ring by her own foot and using her hands. Some even ensured that the punishment is done badly and intentionally, raising the hip something that is not in the video. Many media and columnists of the network, even did not agree and mentioned that the injury that the fighter suffered was in shoulder, others in elbow and others in complete arm.

I clarify that in the video that circulates on the internet, I only see myself impersonating Sexy Star doing the punishment, with the same energy and fury that characterizes the character, in the same way and with the same force in the surrender, without loosing until second after checking the referee, as always has done Sexy Star. I can prove that this punishment I have done on other occasions exactly equal in time and strength to other companions, even recently in one of the matches of Sexy Star in the American series in which I am currently participating, I assure you that the companion who received this punishment on that occasion, which in the range of danger is one of the least risky, at least in the Mexican wrestling, and that I have never been wrong used to absolutely injure anyone.

The past August 30th I have been 11 years in wrestling, a sport to which I have given my life and my body, without being figurative, body that has damages, because in this sport, if you make a career like I have had the blessing to do, you do not save, … to the fight I have always had respect, respect that I begin to exercise since I take the body of my partner or companion to whom I have always cared without exception and will do, regardless of nationality or who know or not, a lot of this sport, that respect I inherited not only from my parents, I inherited it from my teachers and professors, people with dynasties in Mexican wrestling, where this sport was born, and I am sure that my teachers can speak and support, that I have never neglected any companion.

Out of respect and love to my teachers and my followers, who have given me their love and to whom I owe my career and who, know me perfectly, I dedicate these letter, which are the only ones that deserve to have the testimony of what really happened , but above all I dedicate it to Sexy Star, a character that was loaned to me and many people, with honor, honesty, respect, integrity and passion, I have defended and carried for 11 years, the same values that belong to Dulce Maria Garcia Rivas and I will not let anyone, with versions not supported by evidence, discredit.”

AAA announced that Star is vacating the Reina de Reinas Championship.

Star has been facing strong criticism for allegedly purposely injuring Rosemary’s arm during their match. Star claims that she didn’t purposely try to injure Rosemary, and that Rosemary appeared fine backstage after the match. She said that Rosemary was walking backstage under her own power and without any assistance. Star added that when she heard that Rosemary was injured, she found her with just a bag of ice on her elbow without anyone assisting her. Star said she left the arena after the AAA talent coordinator assured her that everything is fine.

Star noted that following the incident, she has been getting bullied on social media. She said that Rosemary did not suffer any injury since the submission move that was applied is very safe. She added that she has been wrestling for 11 years and her wrestling teachers can verify that she has never purposely tried to hurt another wrestler.

While a number of wrestling stars have reacted to the incident, Sexy Star has already felt the backlash, getting pulled from a WrestleCade Weekend event.

In the video below, on a reality show Sexy Star was asked about the incident and here was here response, which is translated roughly from Spanish (originally from rderudo.com) according to PWInsider.

“This have been very difficult days for me,” Sexy Star said. “Last Saturday, I was in a championship fight; was very hard. I think everything got out of hand. I don’t know, I am still confused with the situation. I’d like to remain quiet and when the time is right I will speak on the subject.”

“Men and women want to finish me, make me retire from the sport. I am still here, as I stated in the beginning, I will not stop representing all those women that have been mistreated physically or psychologically. I believe that I have to stronger. If at a moment I went through depression and got out of it, I will also get out of this one. I was doing what I had to do, what the people deserved, to go all in clawing until the end. That’s what happened, I submitted her. It appears the girl is injured, I don’t know, [it] is not something I am aware off. That’s all I can say.”

Rosemary gave an injury update on Twitter, saying it’s a strained tricep/bicep with swelling around the area and that time away from the ring should be minimal. She also thanked those who supported her and when wrestlers do make mistakes in the ring, they should own up to them. You can see her full comments below.

Rosemary Responds To Sexy Star Purposely Injuring Her During Match, Why She Didn’t Break Her Face

sexy star

As noted, Rosemary was injured at last night’s AAA Triplemania XXVPWinsider reported that at the end of the match pitting Sexy Star defending the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship against Rosemary, Lady Shani & Ayako Hamada, Sexy Star popped Rosemary’s arm out of place while applying her armbar submission in what appeared to be a shoot.

The injury is said to not be that serious, and Rosemary is not expected to be out of action for too long.

It was noted that Lady Shani and Star were legitimately shooting on each other at one point during the match. The backstage scene was said to be “extremely tense.” Star left the arena, but was brought back by Vampiro and she apologized to Rosemary. Star then quickly left again.

Rosemary issued the statement below addressing the situation. She noted that Star has been telling people that it was a work, and that “Star is a liar.”

“Let me make this perfectly clear: if you take liberties with someone’s body when they are giving it to you and trusting you to keep them safe, you are not tough. You are an asshole. And you don’t belong in this business.Sexy Star decided to do just that this weekend at TripleMania. And while I have remained quiet on social media until I was more calm to address the situation, I have now being informed that she is telling people that it is a work. You are all now being informed that Sexy Star is a liar. She was a liar in the locker room when she was forced to apologize and instead cooked up some bulls–t excuse that she ‘didn’t know’ and she is a liar now. You know if you are torquing on someone’s arm. You know an armbar is a real and dangerous hold.

The only reason your face is not broken right now is because a little voice inside my head as I lay on the apron kept repeating, ‘Don’t go to Mexican prison.’ (thanks Demon).

However, turning to positives, the outreach from the wrestling community has been incredible. I’m overwhelmed with how much love I feel right now from friends, fans, and people I have yet to meet in this amazing business. We are a family and we protect our own. If you violate that, you are not welcome here.

I also want to thank the AAA locker room. Multiple people came up to me saying how sorry and disgusted they were. Thank you Hamada and Shani, who also had to deal with bulls–t from Star during that match. Thank you, Vampiro, for professionally trying to calm a volatile situation, though, as you know, once the excuses started pouring out of Sexy Star’s mouth in lieu of an apology, it was over.

Thank you to the amazing GFW locker room, both present that night and not. I have so much support from everyone, and talent, crew and office have all reached out to show me that.”

The Wrestling World Is Furious With Sexy Star After She Legitimately Injured Rosemary At AAA Triplemania

sexy star

There are many wrestlers working to apply their craft all over the world, and even though they may not always get along behind the scenes, they have a responsibility to look out for one another, and keep each other safe when they’re inside the ring. Unfortunately it sounds like Sexy Star went into business for herself Saturday night at AAA Triplemania XXV.

Sexy Star defended the AAA Reinas de Reina Championship against Rosemary, Lady Shani and Ayako Hamada, and she made Rosemary tap out after applying her armbar submission. But after Rosemary tapped out, Sexy Star continued to apply pressure to the arm, and it was later reported that she legitimately popped Rosemary’s arm out of place.

PWInsider reports that the injury is not as serious as originally thought, and Rosemary isn’t expected to miss any time in the ring. The report notes that before Sexy Star left the venue, Vampiro brought her to Rosemary so she could apologize.

It’s also being reported that Sexy Star and Shani were legitimately shooting on each other at one point during the match, and Star quickly left the venue after apologizing to Rosemary, and Shani was said to be looking for Star because she was upset over their interaction in the ring.

You can check out a quick clip of Sexy Star locking in the armbar on Rosemary below:

It’s very clear that the wrestling world is not happy with Sexy Star at all, and you can check out some of the reactions below:

Johnny Mundo Calls Out Vampiro Over Taya/AAA Situation, Vampiro Responds

Image result for Vampiro, Johnny Mundo, Taya

It was reported on Monday Sexy Star won the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship at last night’s AAA television taping in Monterrey. Former champion Taya Valkyrie was stripped of the title, which she won in a no DQ match back in April, because “she used a choke during her No-DQ match with Ayako Hamada.” Vampiro told the crowd that Taya didn’t show up and was being stripped of the title; she was never scheduled to appear. The only reason they got her tile back was because Johnny Mundo brought it with him for a photo shoot, which was AAA’s way of getting the belt back to strip Taya.

After Taya quit AAA over social media, Vampiro (via WrestleInc) posted the following on Twitter…

Probably shouldn’t do this as I don’t give a f–k, but a mark is a mark, regardless of its gender! It’s called building a story and a angle and the day that talent dictates what happens in any company, then the company is in trouble. There are hundreds of people involved in planning stories ,programming events in advance, and , for me to even waste time addressing this to you, is crazy, as, I have a responsibility to do the best I can with what I have in front of me. Running a company in three continents is extremely complicated. Now , as far as taya is concerned, I chose not to say anything as I have been around long enough to see to many young talents close doors because they lose touch with reality. I support her and I think she is incredible. Her opinions are hers and hers alone. As far as you go, they say you do what I have done, or go through what I have gone through, and can do a better job than me , I will respect you. For now, I apologize , but to me , you’re a person who made me take 5 mins out of my day to answer your text, out of respect for your ignorance. Other than that, have a good day!

Mundo, who is engaged to Taya, then posted the following on Twitter…

Vampiro then took to Facebook (via WrestleInc) and posted the below message, which has now been deleted…

My response to Johnny mundo, taya , and fans in general.
This, is The perfect case of something that can turn into something very bad.

When I took the job of talent relations , producing, and writing….

I knew for a fact that I would have to have thick skin because no matter what you do or how you do it, when you work in the entertainment industry, or any industry for that matter and are in a position of influence, and have responsibilities, no matter what and no matter way, there will always be somebody who will not like you.

I have also learned that if you are a public person there will be more people who hate you then like you, and you will be destroyed in public via social media and every other outlet available , as no matter what, even if you were trying to do the best you can, somebody will be offended.

I get that and it’s all good, I’m OK with it, and I think that’s why I continue to grow as a person because I can understand that sooner or later I will make someone angry.

So I prefer to be honest, and that is I am a human being and they do make mistakes and by no means do I think I’m perfect.
I am only learning to do this job day by day, and I am trying my hardest.

I think that Taya is incredible, and she is a great performer, and has so much more in front of her .

I do think that It was completely irresponsible and how I went about the situation with her and for that I apologize.

As far as Johnny goes, I have nothing but respect for him and I think that he is one of the best pro wrestlers in the world today, and certainly one of the best ever of his generation.

I am just a guy who is trying his hardest to do his job, I do not apologize for who I am, but I do apologize if I have offended anyone and I do make professional mistakes.

In saying that I do not do anything on my own, I always run things by my superiors as that is the way things are supposed to be done, but I do strongly stand by what I am trying to transmit on television .

I am certain that I cannot make everybody happy all the time, and I do realize that I am just a passenger on this journey, and sooner or later I will be out of style and somebody will take my place but in the meantime I’m going to continue to try to do my best, and I am certainly not getting involved in a Twitter fued, work, or no work.

I certainly hope this clears up a few things, they’re a great story lines in great angles coming up, and it’s not my fault if talent is unhappy with me, but I am extending my hand in friendship and asking for forgiveness for whatever I have done wrong, and I would love to have a discussion with anybody who has been offended by me, because I can guarantee you that I did not do it intentionally.

This is the last I will comment on this issue, and I hope it’s sufficient.

Thanks very much and have a great evening.
