WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett talked to Mirror Sport about Wrestling Travel, his AAA title run, Rey Mysterio’s WWE return and the NWA’s 70th anniversary show.
The Following was from the Mirror Sport interview with Jeff Jarrett:
Wrestling legend Jeff Jarrett has enjoyed an incredible 2018 – from winning title gold to being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
Along the way the veteran performer wowed audiences with his first spoken word tour… and somehow became a Tranmere Rovers fan in the process!
Now ex-WWE Intercontinental Champion’s business Global Force Entertainment has partnered up with British travel company Wrestling Travel .
They are offering fans the experience of a lifetime – tickets and travel packages to New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s Wrestle Kingdom 13, at the Tokyo Dome on January 4 next year.
Wrestle Kingdom is the biggest event on the NJPW calendar and the biggest wrestling show outside America, which Jarrett appeared in 2015 with Bullet Club.
The alliance comes hot on the heels of Wrestling Travel sponsoring the Starrcast convention at All In in Chicago and Wrestling MediaCon 2018 in Manchester.
Jarrett, 51, from Hendersonville, Tennessee, spoke to Mirror Sport’s Neil Docking about the unique partnership and what he hopes they can bring to the table.
He discussed his AAA Mega Championship run, spoken word tour, his good friend Rey Mysterio returning to WWE and the NWA 70th Anniversary Show.
It was very good. I’ve always had a good relationship with UK fans, but to be sat on stage talking about my career in that kind of setting, from that kind of perspective, it was different, but Kenny McIntosh of Inside The Ropes, Hooked On Events and the crowd made it easy and fun and I’m looking forward to doing it again.
Yes exactly. That was definitely interesting. You could say I’ve done a lot of things in the world of professional wrestling, but that was a first. London, Sheffield, Edinburgh and Cardiff… that entire tour 10 days, 10 appearances, I did the London Comic Con, did some independent shows… it was really a fun tour.
Oh no, not at all. Pretty much my entire life has been played out in front of wrestling fans, even the stuff, I guess you could say the legend and lore, which has grown. Certain instances, back to my WWF and Vince McMahon days, wrestling fans like to tell these stories and never let the facts get in the way of a good story! And I’m okay with that.
Well, I don’t know about that. Ha ha. Whether I’m in the Hall of Fame or not I can say whatever I like, it just depends on how it’s interpreted! But no, it was fun. The spoken word tour was a lot of fun and the Hall of Fame… what an amazing 2018 it has been for myself.
Oh yeah, he’s good, he’s very good at what he does. He obviously made me feel comfortable going in but we also sort of had an agreement, the Sheffield show in particular which was streamed on Fite.tv , the first time a spoken word tour had been streamed live around the world, Kenny said to me ‘I’m going to come at you with some questions that may or may not make you feel uncomfortable’. But it was good and he knows how to deliver what the audience want and hats off to that guy.
Ha ha ha. Well it may just be a perfect segue way into it, but Lee McAteer, of Wrestling Travel, sits on their board. There’s a national connection, he grew up a Tranmere fan, so he opened my eyes to them and there’s nothing like wishing a UK football team good luck. That thing went viral overnight almost, as soon as it was released. It got quite a bit of play I’ll say that.
We’ve had mutual connections, but I kind of almost want to say it was by fate. He’s an incredible entrepreneur/businessman, wrestling is not in his background, but business is. He comes from a line of business folks, attorneys and business managers and everything that goes with it, and runs an ultra successful travel agency. So mutual friends connected us, we hit it right off and almost immediately, outside of the Tranmere Rovers fun we had, we said ‘how can we do business together?’
We really have meshed or put together my 32-year background in professional wrestling and his lifelong business background. His travel agency is a worldwide situation and I’ve got a long history not just as a wrestler but as a promoter, my family have always been promoters and at the very end of the day, you have to give the fans what they want.
The combination we have put together… the world of wrestling I grow up in, there was German wrestling, and British, and Japanese, and Puerto Rican, and U.S., and Mexican wrestling, with their own fans. It was separate. Now in the digital age, in the age of social media, all of the wrestling audiences are so much more connected. I cannot stress that enough, how much more connected wresting audiences are around the world. So people know about events like NJPW Wrestle Kingdom, or AAA Triplemania, or lately All In. Fans know about these events and with travel getting easier and easier, I saw on the news about the first ever flight from Singapore non-stop to New York City, in 19 hours! The world is so much more connected than it was in the past.
We have put together packages, kicked it off with the biggest show of the year in Japan, a show that has been around for a lot of years, we’re just happy that we’re giving the fans that don’t live in Japan an opportunity and we’ll make it very easy shopping. We’ll get you there, you get to one of the four hubs we have strategically placed and we’ll make sure we do the rest. And that’s hats off to Lee. You get to London, New York, Sydney or San Francisco and then we’ll fly you there, pick you up, buses, transfers, hotels, all that.
Then we’re really creating some really unique experiences, as we get feedback, we really want to customise it for the fans. We’re going to do tours around Tokyo to famous wrestling stops, there’s a couple of Japanese legends we’re going to have meet and greets lined up with, there’s some restaurants owned by former Japanese wrestlers, so it’s going to be an authentic wrestling trip. It’s really a dream, Kōrakuen Hall holds events quite a bit, other wrestling shows outside of Wrestle Kingdom too we’re going to give the opportunity to attend, so it really is a customised wrestling travel trip.
Yes – there’s nothing like experiencing the local culture. I tell even my kids who have never been to London or Manchester or Glasgow, that it’s hard to describe travel and wrestling within the UK. I go to Mexico quite often and wrestling the Lucha Libre style, the pageantry, those experiences you truly have to live. Television or social media doesn’t do it justice. Once you’re there and you watch a show in Japan, surrounded by Japanese wrestling fans, there’s nothing quite like it. Getting in the culture is what’s so unique and if you’re a wrestling fan it’s definitely a bucket list item.
We work on projects like Starrcast, the four-day convention around All In, was basically a live podcast event, we brought that to Fite. The main thing GFE is doing now is we have partnered with Fite and they do combat sports, boxing, MMA and wrestling, and we are the wrestling arm of it. We market that and bring content to market, WrestleCade here in America is a Thanksgiving tradition, a three-day convention we are going to be bringing to Fite. This Sunday, October 21, GFE we’re bringing the NWA 70th anniversary show, the rematch from All In, Cody Rhodes versus Nick Aldis for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, we are bringing that content to your favourite streaming device, via the Fite app.
That’s right. When me and Lee sat down and went over my wrestling career and his day-to-day business shall we say, the travel world, we realised we could mix the two and really have a recipe for a lot of fun and a customised experience for the fan that we’re excited to bring to market.
Oh gosh yes. And what is really unique is, in the entire country of Mexico, they have wrestling seven nights a week, all over the country. In Mexico City alone they have it on three or four nights. AAA have five big shows a year, the biggest being Triplemania, basically their version of WrestleMania, but they have five big events a year, so those packages are going to be rolling out without question.
That’s another real experience, we can tie in for people all around the world, Mexico has got some beautiful beaches, Cancun, Cozumel and Acapulco, you could visit along with the wrestling experience and the culture. So my relationship with the Pena family is definitely going to be part of what we do with Global Force and Wrestling Travel.
Ha ha ha, there you go, it checks all the boxes, right?
Yeah like I said a bit ago, 2018 has been nothing short of incredible. It went down on one of their big shows, me and Dr Wagner have a long history in Mexico and me and Rey Mysterio go back over 20 years, we met when we worked together and against each other in the 1990s in WCW. So for me to be in that match and win the Mega Championship for the second time was definitely special.
Oh, I couldn’t be happier for him. Rey is such a good guy, a good human being. I think when history looks back, he may end up being the most famous Hispanic wrestler in history. You can’t say enough, the world wide travel that Rey has done and impact he has made, it goes 20 years plus like I said. He broke onto the scene as a young man in WCW and his time spent in WWE winning the world championships… he is just a legendary name. He was in the early days of AAA and now he’s back in WWE, I couldn’t be happier for the guy. A good family guy, a great human being and a fantastic wrestler.
Ha ha. You said it! Here’s what I take a lot of pride in. I train every day, I stay fit and I take a lot of pride in having the ability to go in there with them. It was special in so many ways, we were one of the main events at Triplemania but not only that, the last hour of Triplemania was broadcast live on Televisa, network television in Mexico, like an ITV or BBC, it’s the network in Mexico. So that hour, the ratings were through the roof. So when I tell you it was a big event in Mexico, I’m not quite sure I’m doing it justice. It was a pop culture event bigger than a mega wrestling show.
So to be a part of the B title of that organisation, the champion going into that match, at this stage in my career, going against Fenix – and Rich Swann and Brian Cage no doubt – but Fenix is, I used to be able to say because I met him when he was coming in the door as a young kid, Fenix has arrived and he is I wouldn’t say the next big thing, he is the big thing, and he is setting the scene on fire. For me to be a part of that and knowing I came prepared and carried my weight in the match so to speak, I’m pretty damn proud of it.
I brought the showbiz to that match, ha ha, and I’m damn glad to bring that. That’s something I guess you could say has been right up my alley my entire career, the showbiz part of the match.
Let’s not get too far ahead, I know that my in-ring days, my best years are in my rear view mirror, and I have no problem with that. But from time to time, the old Toby Keith song, ‘I’m not as good as I once was, but I’m as good once as I ever was’, that might be appropriate!
But on Sunday, the NWA 70th anniversary, The Tennessee State Fairground Sports Arena, a building my family has promoted in since it opened in the 70s, for me to put on my promoter’s cap, those kind of things excite me the most. I’m super excited for that and one of Britain’s own, Nick Aldis, is going to be challenging for the NWA title and the history with that title is pretty special for myself and my family, so no, I like to wear the promoter’s hat more than I do the in-ring performer hat now, if I had my choice.
Wrestling Travel is the market-leading events and travel company that gives wrestling fans, from all around the globe, all-in packages to the world’s greatest wrestling events.
There’s a lot of speculation on WWE signing brothers Rey Fenix and Pentagon Jr. The two currently hold the MLW Tag Team Titles and Pentagon held the Impact World Heavyweight Title earlier this year. WWE has had interest in signing both wrestlers for some time and first asked fans about their interest in the brothers during a June 2017 Fan Council survey.
The brothers are currently signed to Lucha Underground and Dave Meltzer confirmed on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio that they are not able to sign with any other wrestling promotion right now. There may be an option to leave the deal once the current fourth season of Lucha Underground ends. There’s no word yet on when the season will end but they are airing the 14th episode this week. The third season had 40 episodes and the second season had 26 episodes.
There’s strong speculation on Fenix and Pentagon signing with WWE once the current Lucha Underground season ends but they could also sign with someone like AAA or they could stick with Lucha Underground.
Pentagon, who is the current PCW Ultra Champion, addressed the rumors at a PCW Ultra event this past weekend. After successfully defending his title, he spoke to the crowd and said: “Respect that I am the PCW Champion and no one is going to take that from me. Thank you very much! And before I forget. I am not going anywhere. Penta will be in PCW for many, more years.”
MLW posted the following teaser on Fenix and Pentagon this past week, and that fueled the rumors on them signing for the WWE NXT brand:

As noted, two-time AAA Reina de Reinas Champion Taya Valkyrie was recently a guest on Talk Is Jericho. Among other things, Valkyrie talked about the controversy surrounding her being stripped of the Reina de Reinas title and feeling “backstabbed” by Vampiro. Also, Chris Jericho weighed in on Sexy Star allegedly shooting on Rosemary.
In April, Taya defeated Ayako Hamada to regain the Reina de Reinas title in a gruelling and bloody street fight.
“I won the title in probably one of my favorite matches and most intense matches I’ve ever had in my [pro wrestling] career versus Ayako Hamada.” Valkyrie continued, “Vampiro comes out [after the match], says all this stuff, calls us back to the ring, it’s big, emotional stuff, and people are throwing money in the ring. It’s craziness. I go backstage and I’m just out of my mind and like, ‘oh my God! What just happened?’ and it was crazy.”
Shortly after winning back the Reina de Reinas title, Taya was involved in a car accident and was unable to compete in the squared circle. ‘La Perra del Mal’ claimed that she was duped into returning the title to AAA as AAA personnel was not upfront with her about supposedly wanting to set up an angle. Adding insult to injury, Taya found out about being stripped of the championship on social media.
“I later found out because John was going there for TV, Johnny Mundo, John Morrison, John Hennigan, my fiancé, was told, he was invited to come to TV because he’s their Triple Crown Champion right now. So they said, ‘can you bring Taya’s belt because we want to shoot some stuff backstage with it?’ Yeah, and of course, I said, ‘of course, you can take my belt!’ I don’t care about the belt – it’s not about that, so he brought the belt and he called me that night after the show and I was like, ‘so are you bringing all the belts back with you and stuff?’ because we also wanted to do some shoots with them because we’re both the champions of the company! The power couple! And he goes, ‘oh no, they didn’t let me take yours.’ And I was like, ‘what? What the hell is going on?’
“Immediately, I texted Dorian [Roldan Peña], who is… his family owns AAA. And he’s like, ‘oh, just wait, just wait.’ Do you know what I mean? Me and Dorian have always had a really good working relationship. I’ve never had problems with him. I love his mom who passed away also this year. They were like my family down there! They totally looked out for me and stuff. And then, the next day I woke up to find out that I had been stripped of my title, which Vampiro announced on social media. So I found out over social media that I had been stripped of my title. Not a phone call, not a message, not an email. I’m glued to my cell phone. You can text me anytime and I’ll answer you right away. Not a big deal. They told me that the angle they were trying to use was it was an illegal choke that I used to win, but I was congratulated on my win because that makes zero sense. And it was a no-DQ [match], so tell me how that makes sense. If this is all storyline, make something that in my opinion makes sense.”
Taya added, “if I couldn’t go there to defend it, I was totally ready to, like, make a video [and] make up some heelish way of saying, ‘screw this – I don’t want to come down there.’ There [were] a million ways this whole situation could’ve been handled!”
Taya went on to say that she felt “disrespected” by AAA and extended her well wishes to the company and everyone currently affiliated the Mexican lucha libre professional wrestling promotion.
“I just felt very disrespected because I was like, ‘they did that to me in that way’. And everyone’s like, ‘just calm down – it’s just part of the thing’ and I’m like, ‘if this is what it is and it is part of an angle, then why isn’t anybody talking to me?’ A lot of people know this, that a lot of people left AAA in the last year. All of my friends left AAA in the last year because they had problems with the office, they just didn’t feel they were getting paid enough, just different things. Everyone has their own reason and I stuck behind them.”
Taya said, “I think the championship thing really bothered me because I take it so seriously. I’m so passionate about how much work I had to do to get that. And moving beyond that, that chapter for me has closed or has paused for now and that’s fine. Good luck to the girls that are there. Good luck to the company. Good luck to everybody. And I don’t want to speak poorly of a company that gave me an opportunity, but it was s–tty what happened and I’m just moving forward and appreciating everything a little bit more still.”
Taya shared that she felt “backstabbed” when Sexy Star was brought back to AAA and Vampiro untruthfully announced that Taya no-showed.
“To later on find out that they brought back Sexy Star who had left on bad terms with the company a year-and-a-half earlier, just to have a weird match where then Vampiro got in the ring and said that I didn’t show up for my booking, like I didn’t show up to the show. No, I was not booked. I couldn’t even go! Do you know what I mean? And I get it, like, making a story and stuff, but it just wasn’t built the right way in my opinion.”
Taya continued, “Sexy Star becomes the new Reina de Reinas Champion and it all just seemed a bit weird to me. I’m not going to get into too many details, but it just seemed suspicious and it just made me feel like I was backstabbed. It made me feel like I wasn’t important anymore after that long. All-of-a-sudden, it seems like I don’t even exist. Do you know what I mean? So there were ways of doing it and I just felt it wasn’t done the right way.”
Apparently, Taya does not know where she stands with AAA; however, she has a contract with the company.
“I don’t know where I stand right now with AAA. I’m taking time off from Mexico. I needed some time off. I’m very happy right now doing my stuff and planning my life. I’ve never been in a better place in my personal life. I’m planning a wedding for the spring.” Taya explained, “I do have a contract with them. I continue to have a contract with them. I’ve just chosen that I need some time to breathe and stuff. I feel like a lot of things need to be discussed because I’m just not happy with the way this all went down and I don’t like the way it made me feel more than anything.”
Taya stated that Vampiro published nasty things about her on social media, but hopes that he has learned to treat talent better. ‘The Lucha Queen’ was pleased that John Morrison stood up for her as ‘The Pro Wrestler With The Most John-Based Nicknames’ is not naturally confrontational. Additionally, Taya divulged that she felt like Vampiro did not have her back in the situation.
“[Vampiro]’s ruffling some feathers and John did ultimately stand up for me, which if anyone else knows John, he’s the nicest person too, for him to say what he said on Twitter was a big deal because he doesn’t talk like that to people. But Vampiro went online and said some really horrible things about me, which he then deleted. And then, he apologized on his Facebook page, and then, deleted it. And then, apologized to me in person, at Comic-Con and I just don’t like holding grudges. This is work at the end of the day. I don’t have to like someone to work with them, but I will always take the higher road because this is my livelihood and my life. I just thought he didn’t handle this professionally. And if you’re supposed to be the person representing the talent, you shouldn’t talk about them like that and I think he realizes that now. I hope he realizes that now. I really thought that… he’s also a Canadian in Mexico. I just felt that the Mexican culture is very patriotic and they all stand together and he was the one Canadian that I really thought would have my back and I felt like he didn’t have my back, so I just felt like s–t basically.”
Also, during the podcast, Jericho himself had some choice words for Sexy Star and banned the luchadora from TIJ for life.
“If that’s true, Sexy Star, you’re a sexy piece of s–t and so is anybody that books you from now on. [In pro] wrestling you’re giving each other your body. There’s a lot of trust and to do something malicious like that, on purpose, I don’t care what the circumstances are – that’s just bad, bad news, man. I don’t know where her mind is at. I’ve never met her. At this point, I don’t think I want to. Sexy Star, you are now going to have a lifetime ban from Talk Is Jericho. Sexy Star is banned from Talk Is Jericho for life. There you go. That’s my little piece of the pie. That’s what I say about that.”

Below is audio posted on the WrestlingInsiders YouTube channel of Steve Austin Commenting on the Sexy Star Incident with Rosemary.
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.
