Sexy Star Comments On Rosemary Incident

As noted, over the weekend Sexy Star purposefully injured Rosemary’s shoulder at the end of their Reina de Reinas Championship Match (which also included Lady Shani & Ayako Hamada) at AAA’s TripleMania XXV event. Since then, Rosemary has responded to what happened, commenting that Sexy Star tried to say it was a work, which Rosemary wanted to make very clear that it wasn’t. 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:

Sexy Star On Her Big Lucha Underground Title Win (Video)

El Rey also posted this post-match video of Sexy Star and another video with comments on the big win:

Sexy Star Wins Gift Of The Gods Title At Ultima Lucha Dos

On last night’s episode of Lucha Underground – Ultima Lucha Dos part 2, Sexy Star defeated Marty The Moth, Mariposa, Killshot, Daga, Night Claw & Sinestro De La Muerte to win the Gift of the Gods Title – guaranteeing her a shot at the Lucha Underground Championship whenever she wants.

Wrestling News Blog’s Vanessa wrote the following about it on Facebook:

If you pay attention to what I post you know I feel strongly about women getting their chance to shine in the spots world. Whether that be in MMA or professional wrestling. You would also come to find out that one of my favorite wrestling promotions is Lucha Underground because week after week they bring us something new and exciting. Not only that but they let their women shine, putting them in matches with the men, letting them prove that they can be dominate in a man’s world. Tonight they made history. Tonight I witnessed Sexy Star battle 5 other competitors for the gift of the God’s championship. 4 of which were men! But guess what she held her own. Yeah yeah people say wrestling is fake or pre determined but these bumps are real and they’re still human beings in their sacrificing their limbs for our entertainment. Tonight sexy star became the Gifts of the God’s champion guaranteeing her a shot at the world title whenever she wants. Not a separate title but THE title. The only time in the history of professional wrestling we’ve seen something close to this was when Chyna won the IC title but with all due respect this is next level! I applaud Lucha underground for not being afraid to push the envelope and break barriers. I can’t wait to see what’s next.

Lucha Underground’s Sexy Star Embodies Women’s Revolution in Wrestling

Source: Forbes.com – Donald Wood

During the May 4 episode of Lucha Underground, the El Rey Network’s flagship show was the home to a match of the year contender when Sexy Star took on Mariposa in a ‘No Mas’ bout.

Sexy Star won the lucha version of an ‘I Quit’ match, but the moment was about so much more than a simple victory. During the course of the brutal battle, Sexy Star cemented her spot as one of the top stars in Lucha Underground and the embodiment of a true women’s wrestling revolution.

The Lucha Underground brand is looking to continue its growth, and one of the cornerstones which the company appears to be building around is Sexy Star. Wrestlers like Mil Muertes, Rey Mysterio, Prince Puma and others also have the potential to be marketable faces for Lucha Underground, but Sexy Star has the ability to transcend wrestling and become one of the most mainstream marketable wrestlers on the roster.

 “The prize for my arduous sacrifice and passion is that Lucha Underground as a company and organization believes in me,” Sexy Star said. “I feel extremely proud of that because it also means they believe in women’s wrestling, and I will never fail them in that aspect. Contrary to men, when a woman decides to never fail, she does not disappoint. Lucha Underground believes in the power of women, in a power that goes well beyond physical beauty and that makes me feel even prouder to be considered as central character and top talent within the company.”

As arguably the strongest female character in the wrestling business today, Sexy Star is a marketing goldmine for Lucha Underground. With a recognizable mask which could become a stable of her character just as it has for Mysterio, a catchy name that stays true to her lucha background and a genuine appeal to men, women and children, Sexy Star has the potential to be a top merchandise seller and one of the few wrestlers outside WWE who can transcend wrestling into mainstream media.

While it would be easy for Sexy Star to rest on her laurels now that she has become one of the elite talents in Lucha Underground, her match against Mariposa proved she is one of the most gifted performers in the company. Sexy Star is a proficient wrestler, but it is her ability to tell a convincing story in the ring and get the fans emotionally invested that separates her from other performers.
