During a recent appearance on the “Under the Ring” podcast, AEW Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa commented on her goals for Mission Pro Wrestling, making it a place where wrestlers can have mentors, and more.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On her goals with Mission Pro Wrestling: “When I first started in the business, I don’t think there was a woman that took the time to really guide me and help me to be able to achieve my goals. There were some like here, bits and pieces some people helped me, and I am very appreciative of that, and you guys know who you are. But I always felt that there was never a space for me because of who I was. Where I came from, because of my age, because of x,y, and z. At the time when I created Mission Pro Wrestling, there was a lot of liberties taken on us. I went through a lot, and I never spoke about it. But, I felt like it was a need for me to open a space for women that kind of looked like me. That I felt like they were never given an opportunity.”

On making a place where wrestlers can have mentors: “We wanted to make sure that we were creating real mentorship. A place where women came as professionals, and they handled themselves as professionals. If there was any issues in-between each other, they could talk about it instead of going behind their back, and doing a bunch of stuff. There is a huge change, for me, because of all the things that I experienced personally, the new generation needed to see that things could be done that way. You can be professional, you can be someone that can be respected, and you can make it in the business as a performer, without sacrificing your honor and your beliefs.”

On wanting talent to feel safe and comfortable: “This last Saturday, we had the only female-run show at WrestleCon that ran an all-female show. We were super organized, it just felt so good,” she said. “And one of the veterans that came and visited it was like, ‘I really like the locker room because it was relaxed, everybody was there. And when some issues arose, it wasn’t brushed under the rug, you guys took care of it.’ That’s the most important part is for you to feel safe. I think sometimes it’s just feeling safe and comfortable coming to work. That’s one of the things that we would say we have been able to foster at Mission Pro Wrestling. The women that work there, they feel safe.”

On something she wants to see change on the indie wrestling scene: “When I go to a locker room, and there’s not a space for us to change, especially on the independent scene, I don’t care anymore. I’ll be like, ‘I need a room for my five, six girls. They need to be changed in a place where they can take their clothes off, and they don’t feel like everybody is watching, and they don’t need to be putting a towel on.’ We have the right to do that, it’s 2022. A lot of independent shows because of the space, the women have to change with men. A lot of issues arise a couple of years ago, and there was the speaking out movement. And a lot of people talk about that, so, I am very outspoken now. Thankfully because of the position I have, I am able to say something, and people respect that.”
