Chelsea Green says she helps released wrestlers get in contact with people from other promotions
During an interview with Denise Salcedo, WWE star Chelsea Green talked about her efforts to help other female wrestlers in the wrestling industry…
“My goal in this industry is to make everyone feel welcome. There is a place for everyone. Now, look, I don’t care about the guys I don’t like—I’m nice to them, but I don’t give a flying f*cks about the guys—but I was treated so poorly coming up, and I just knew, man, when I make it, I want everyone to feel comfortable coming to me.
I want them to know that I’ll be honest with them, but I’ll be kind to them, and I’ll have compassion for whatever they’re feeling. This is such a hard business, and everyone has something to offer, but sometimes you have to pull it out of yourself, and that’s really hard. And it’s just so nice to hear because I do want everyone to have a good experience with me. I want everyone to know they’re supported.
Whenever anyone gets released, the first thing I do is I message them and give them the names of—I’m sure everyone hates me for this, but the girls love me for it—I’ll give them the names of the AEW people that I know they can contact, the TNA people they can contact, and anyone else I think they could work with. Like, ‘I think you could work here, here, and here.’ I’ll say, ‘I think Billy Corgan would be great with NWA,’ or ‘Contact Tommy Dreamer.’
I just want everyone to have an opportunity and everyone to feel welcome. That’s been my major goal coming back—just to be a really, really, really positive force within the locker room and show people that, first of all, winning and losing doesn’t matter. And I think I’ve done a good job of that.”
