Ellering was asked about the backlash those names get and if she feels it's justified.
There's an extensive interview with Rachael Ellering that was conducted by Monte & The Pharaoh. As the conversation moved along, Ellering was asked about specific names in the wrestling business and the backlash those names receive.
The names were Vince McMahon, Hulk Hogan, and Tessa Blanchard. Ellering said Hogan should be out of the business, she had no comment on Tessa and said McMahon should never work in wrestling again.
“I think some cases are so warranted. Yeah, and I think that’s something that is a good progression in the last couple years in wrestling in trying to get some of these really scummy people out of wrestling, or at least limit what they’re doing. Because there are some really, really good people in wrestling… Give them the time, give them the money, give them the focus, right? These people, I call them buttheads. I’m like, ‘We don’t need these buttheads.’ There are plenty of extremely talented, genuinely good people that are deserving of these spots and time and bookings and all of that and fanfare that -- get the bad ones out of here because some of them genuinely deserve to be written off because they’re terrible human beings that in any line of work would be written off and so I think there’s some people that it’s totally justified.
I think Hulk Hogan should (be out of wrestling), yeah, and I have no comment on Tessa (Blanchard) … I don’t think he (Vince McMahon) should ever work in wrestling again.”
Ellering is a part of AEW/ROH. She was most recently in action on the 5/15 ROH on HonorClub in a singles match against Trish Adora.
