Matt Hardy addresses the criticism of Tessa Blanchard being brought back to TNA Wrestling

During his podcast, TNA Wrestling tag team champion Matt Hardy addressed the criticism of Tessa Blanchard being brought back to the company…

“I do know there was some of that feedback online especially. There were a few people that I was sitting in the room with who changed like, ‘Oh man, you know, she was here at one time.’ They’re like, ‘Man, she didn’t do things right or whatever else.’ One thing I have heard is that, you know, everyone that she was going to be working with, they were given the heads up and they knew that was going to be happening. But also, apparently they’ve been following her pretty close and just seeing how she’s been as a performer, how professional she’s been and whatnot. It seems so far, so good. I know she was available to speak with anyone who may have had any kind of grievances with her at the end of the night. I think as a society too, if someone is actually trying to right their wrongs and get their life back on course, we still have to be able to give second chances or third chances. If I hadn’t got second chances, I’d have been fucked. There’s a lot of people, especially in pro wrestling, that sometime if they’re trying to prove themselves and they seem like they are worthy of being given another opportunity, you got to let them have it.”

“I think it’s a work in progress [Tessa saying she’s not under contract]. It seemed like they were trying to do everything the right way.” (quotes courtesy of Skylar Russell)
