Thunder Rosa: The Sessions with Renee Paquette

[@wolfcola3401]

Thunder Rosa also has one of the most bad ass entrance music in wrestling.

[@ChichiNaka]

Its crazy that she's relatively new, starting in 2014/2015 she's miles ahead of so many of her contemporaries, coolest mom ever

[@RAMENn00dleb0y]

I'm so glad she talked about Britt Baker getting all the attention from that Lights Out match when THUNDER ROSA FREAKING WON!!!

[@KenMathis1]

But Britt took the most bumps and that was the defining characteristic of the match. Without that, people wouldn't be talking about the match at all now.

[@jamessorge3197]

@@KenMathis1naw.. taking nothing away from Britt but that match took two to Tango... they both came out like fxxxing stars... it was the dynamic they both brought to it that made it so magical. Britt could have taken those bumps and rocked the crimson mask against any other opponent and it would have been great and brought her attention but it was Thunder Rosa who sent her to another stratosphere and put her over in a loss. The dynamic with the opposite outcome and Thunder taking the bumps and rocking that crimson face would not have had the same touch of perfection without Britt being the heel and Rosa being the badass baby face... it was a perfect performance from both of them and the precipice that ignited what will be looked back on as one of the most epic and legendary feuds over the next few years and of all time! Thunder Rosa is being built with a perfect slow burn to become the top Badass baby face in all of women’s wrestling. Would love to see her with the title and the four horsewomen show up in AEW and find out about the real women’s revolution. And at the time they did raise the bar from the Divas era and put on a lot of great women’s matches. But Rosa and Baker took the bar to outer space in their match. Literally lights out! To me that match is up there with Omega and Okadas matches! I want them to have a match where Britt cheats to win! And get a cheap roll up or something... that leads to an hour long iron women match with Thunder Rosa coming out on top! Should be at Revolution or Double or Nothing!

[@KenMathis1]

@@jamessorge3197 I didn't say Rosa didn't come out looking like a star. I said that Britt got most of the attention because she took the biggest bumps, which is what made the match stand out above all the others. The bumps are what the general public focused on most, not the wrestling or who won. To argue otherwise is to argue against what really ended up happening.

[@jonatangomez3561]

God damn. Rosa has a hell of story, basically not catching a break everywhere she went. What a fucking icon to be honest. So happy seeing her thrive in AEW and what an inspiration.

[@shaboogen]

She has such an incredible attitude.

[@CobraJoe7]

Thunder Rosa is my favorite wrestler. She's an absolute beast and true professional through and through. Give her a championship!!

[@Travestyshard]

I rewatched the Lights Out match just hours before listening to this interview. I think Thunder Rosa was incredible in protecting Britt as a guiding veteran. That being said, however, Britt Baker took the brunt of the painful bumps and visually, not only from the blood, but from her acting performance came away as a star. It was a Mick Foley moment. Understand, I think that there is no doubt that Thunder Rosa is the better wrestler and I am looking forward to her beating Britt for the belt this year.

[@johndavies5582]

Wonderfully said!!!

[@andrewholl2108]

Where did you watch the Match ?

[@andrewholl2108]

Agreed

[@brendantoungate8287]

Thunder Rosa's acting performance was just as good, IMO. Her facial reactions made her look like she was driven insane. I agree with you regarding the bumps. I think that another factor in Britt getting the flowers is that more people were familiar with Britt's journey, so to speak. People have been following her since the start of AEW, so more people felt connected to her vs. Thunder Rosa. In comparison, Rosa was somewhat unknown by most viewers, coming from the NWA. As someone who was watching the NWA before the hiatus, I didn't have that feeling, but I can see non NWA viewers feeling that way.

[@JohnSmithoriginal1]

Much respect to Thunder Rosa, she is a true Woman' s champion with or with out the Belt. Much respect to her life story.Great interview .

[@Samiurium]

Truly a dream team with the best interviewer in the world and the best baby face in the world. 😭

[@Jobe826]

Thunder Rosa has all my respect. This year is going to be her best yet. Great Interview as always Renee!

[@janus78]

That Rosa making me cry, when she cries, I cry. Very interesting her take of Mercedez and Serena being her early influence hits different thinking of their previous matches. I knew when Rosa and Britt finished her match she was saying something to her afterwards. I still think she might be keeping some kayfabe about their feud and probably said a we did it, but I like that she's doing that their rematch is going to be money.

[@zachs.8970]

Im so fucking proud of Thunder Rosa. Her breaking into tears got me to cry! Im so fucking happy for all the hard work she has done! She deserves her position on the card

[@BIGGPHILL]

Amazing story from an amazing person! Can't wait to see Thunder Rosa with that AEW title.

[@patriciarockwell2227]

Won't have to wait too long 💖

[@allanford7767]

Happening this Sunday fingers crossed 🤞🤞

[@mikedixon8603]

2022 - the new AEW champ! She'll get by them all! A Great talent!

[@Kusanagikaiser999]

I never heard a single bad thing about Thunder Rosa, all I heard is how FLIPPING AMAZING this woman in and I seriouly can't wait for her to dethrone Britt Baker, she is for me the face of the women division in AEW, the absolute best (also I hope Rosa be the one who finally beat Jade Cargill).....Jesus I actually tear up in the part she was breaking up, first time this happen to me watching an interview, another incredible interview Renee.

[@shanembailey]

I'm such a fan. I didn't know her before her match in AEW, but I looked up her past matches and the more I learn about her story the bigger fan I become. It's really cool she's giving back to her community, now that she's got the fame, but to learn she was a social worker and was giving back before that is so cool.

[@joeboggio4002]

Yes! So excited for this one! Thunder Rosa has such an awesome story, and I am so proud of her even though I don't personally know her. Renee is a fantastic interviewer, always look forward to her podcasts.

[@Panyingg413]

I don’t think it was because Thunder wasn’t signed to AEW, but more of Britt was the one people were anticipating to see if her wrestling skills were really worth her hype and push. Britt’s wrestling style isn’t high flying or super technical so when people saw that she could take bumps and that much damage to her body, it really impressed everyone. The momentum was on her side at the time because her character work was highly entertaining and people wanted to see her slow burn to the top of AEW women’s division. With that, I agree with Thunder saying that it wasn’t her time then.. but she also came out a badass & I believe more people, mainstream wrestling fans at least, now knew her name.

[@timall4her207]

She is my favourite female wrestler. Thank you for having her.

[@coach7733]

Much love and respect to Thunder Rosa, future AEW Champ/TBS Champ for sure. Greetings from Germany.

[@forwantof]

my favorite wrestler. she's so wonderful

[@grindstone11]

Thank you Renee! What a beautiful interview! Thunder - I know you sometimes patrol KZbin, these comments do no justice to say how much you’ve done and we are all behind you! Salud from Houston!

[@Eminem200183]

Thunder Rosa is truly a great wrestler in this modern era. The Lights-Out match was no doubt, match of the year. She deserves credit as much as Dr. Britt Baker does. Rosa is no doubt a legend and 2022 WILL be her year

[@matiasfromchile1431]

La Mera Mera is just amazing. I know her time as champion is near 💜

[@viqneuman.5111]

Rosa. Someone had to be Bret Hart. Someone had to be Austin. That fact that Brit got all the flowers shows that you're the better wrestler. Hope that helps.

[@christiangratton462]

Thunder Rosa is a Mother "effin" star! What makes her special is literally put her in any match, any situation and it will be better because she is there. That kind of talent is timeless and goes under appreciated....it's talent like that that puts butts in seats and make wrestling great! While they are very different......it reminds me Kevin Owens.....put him or Rosa in a match count me interested.

[@TheNeonParadox]

Mad I missed the premier, but better late than never. I adore Rosa.

[@heymikey6793]

They both put their blood, sweat, and heart into that match!!! I gave both of them their rose's after that match!!! I've always been high on Rosa.. I still am!!! I can't wait til she's AEW Women's Champion. What she represents is bigger than herself and she's a certified vet!!! She came in as the NWA's Women's World Champion. Rosa always put on great matches. I def loved her tag team with Hollidead "Twisted Sisters"!!! She has the voice and the look to be a huge star in the business. I'm shocked she isn't pushed to the moon!!! I'm shocked she doesn't have a huge backing. She deserves to be mentioned with the best women's wrestlers in the business. She's really that good!!! 💯!!! 💐💐💐!!! 🥰⚡🌹👌🏾..

[@DollyPopCorp]

She's truly inspirational. What FIRE

[@here...justhere597]

This... Thank you for this Renee. That match brought Thunder Rosa to my attention and I haven't looked back. I have now become a follower of her KZbin and Taco Vlog. Thunder Rosa is amazing. I love her so much more now. She is amazing.

[@MrEmpireBuilder0000]

Thank you for this lovely interview. We love Thunderosa and I was glad she is now All Elite. She IS all Elite! Love the taco vlogs. Keep featuring more guests!

[@inrockyvision]

Man, I LOVE TR and follow her vlog and socials and know how much of a badass she is but this interview just took that appreciation up another notch - another great one, Renee,

[@SolidSpear6]

Nothing but love and respect to Thunder Rosa 🙌🏻

[@EliteSavageKing]

This is by far my favorite interview you have done Renee such a fascinating heartwarming story of Thunder Rosa who I have loved from the first time I saw her in the ring. Tony Khan needs to add you to a show to interview the AEW roster. Renee you are absolutely the best at this as I think Thunder Rosa is also the best woman wrestler in AEW. Thank you ladies for a great interview.

[@PigBoyNeo]

Honestly can't wait to see you wear the gold, La Mera Mera! You are not one of best women wrestlers who has ever graced the ring, you are one of the best *period*. I started watching AEW last spring after my housemate kept on recommending me to watch, but it was you that kept me watching. This is your year Thunder Rosa, all the work you do in the ring and out of the ring is paying off this year! Never thought I be watching pro wrestling again in my 30's, never mind buying the merch lol. Can only wish you, your family the best! Cariad o Gymru! La Merra Merra AEW Womens World Champion 2022! Thunder Rosa forever! 🥇🤘🏻🌩🌹 Hope Mox is getting well Renee, can't wait to see him back in action!

[@lanagievski1540]

Something she doesn’t get enough credit for is her promotion, mission pro wrestling. So many women inside and outside of AEW are from there and she does a great job advocating for them and making sure they get work

[@Qtipz123]

Thunder Rosa is such a badass. Already a LEGEND 💯

[@aikenp]

after thunder and Mercedez 's feud, they need to hype up the fact that Britt is scared to fight thunder and then start building to the rematch

[@StillChewy]

WHAT. A. BADASS. Love Rosa and what an amazing interview!

[@connergaskell3950]

One of my favourites female wrestlers in AEW

[@HankChinaski27]

I absolutely love Thunder Rosa. She is such a genuine person, and an inspiration for some of us to get out of bed when things are hard. I love what she is doing for women's wrestling. I love what she is sewing into the industry...a sorority of talented performers that don't yet have the platform she does. One day when asked who is the biggest legend in female wrestling, I have all the faith it will be Rosa coming from people's mouths. She's a once in a lifetime talent and just an all around good human.

I had never considered chicharrons on tacos before this interview, so thanks for that. Excited for the Mercedes Martinez feud even though I'd like to see her feud with Jade for a few more matches, even though everyone is holding their breath for the rematch of her and Britt. So nice to see hard work paying off!

Much respect for thunder rosa

[@rayanabid1303]

this ep was so emotional. Love you thunder rosa and Renee for bringing us such good content.

[@alealejo78]

I just discovered Thunder Rosa recently and I became a fan of her wrestling, now i'm a bigger fan of her as human being!!

[@biobelewilliam-west1310]

This is a educational interview about being a wrestler in the business

[@jamessorge3197]

Thunder Rosa is the best! I’d seen her before and then a few NWA matches but she became one of my favorites when she did the champ vs champ match against Shida... that match didn’t get the credit it deserved because of the matches on that card and placement but I remember just thoroughly enjoying it! And I was an instant fan of hers and knew she’d either end up in AEW or do other matches collaborating with NWA and AEW... and then the lights out match was the best women’s match I’d ever watched! Not only that it was one of the best matches period! And I’ve been watching since the 80s! All promotions! That match had it all and had me wondering so many times how much farther it could go and who was gonna win! Thought it was over for sure like ten times! Thunder Rosa has to be the one that beats Britt for the title and I love what Britt has done too! Ruby should beat Jade for the TBS title and Statlander should beat Ruby!! Rosa and Britt should FIGHT FOREVER over the AEW Women’s title! And add Shida and Deeb in that mix!

[@brendantoungate8287]

Thunder Rosa is an inspiration.

[@awkwardal4406]

Thunder Rosa will be the best womens wrestler in 2022! Cant wait to see her journey in AEW!

[@davidshirley6850]

2 of my personal favorites in the business

[@diehardskins4109]

In ring work. One of the best in the world right now. Men or women. It's such a pleasure to watch her matches.

[@Breland1976]

Thunder Rosa! Awesome person, amazing wrestler.

[@abovewater6918]

What a fantastic and inspiring story. Especially about not giving up.

[@matwol1365]

It’s amazing to see Thunder Rosa run her own Mission Pro Wrestling School and participate in All Elite Wrestling Women’s Division.

[@wrestlingwithart]

She and Mercedes Martinez had a great technical match in Chicago last month. I was there, so good! Since she brought it up, I have clips from that match posted.

[@TheJasonaut]

Thunder's drive, that chip on her shoulder, her work ethic and attitude, I have limitless respect for. There is probably some of that that is slight paranoia, but also some surely justified as well.

[@esotericninja5630]

Absolutely my favorite wrestler of all time! Thunder Rosa. 🤩💖❤️‍🔥🥰💪🏾

[@Lghtcrasha]

I love it! She is badass 😍

[@cirestamey9243]

Wow! This is the most powerful and inspirational interview I have ever seen! There is a lot that is said and unsaid in this interview that takes you behind the curtain of professional wrestling.

[@walkerdumontj]

Love Thunder Rosa, the attitude the brings the way she approaches her work. Inspiring

[@muaynudeensangay6234]

bro i can relate so much to thunder had no idea up until i wtached this interview, its crazy and youre such an inspiration

[@AC-sh9ic]

Thunder Rosa's light out match really was fucking magical. Hearing that it made backstage talent emotional doesn't surprise me at all because how COULDN'T you feel something watching that? It's nice to hear that it made Anthony Ogogo cry a bit because it just backs up the supportive environment there which I love hearing. And yeah, that match definitely proved the worth of the women's division to the whole world, even naysayers couldn't help but respect.

[@fortminorproject]

I love Thunder Rosa I'd love to interview her one day. I always saw a star in her and Holidead when they where a tag team. So proud of how far she has come. Seeing her wrestle at Wrestlecade last year for the first time was a treat . She is super nice deserve nothing but the best a future women's champion in any company.

[@mirzadelic3736]

Hands down my favourite wrestler

[@dillingerescapeartis]

All the love to TR. She deserves a lifetime achievement award

[@AV-tq5hq]

Great Interview~ Thunder Rosa has such a great story.

[@househeadspeakz]

Renee, thank you!!! I've been waiting for a Thunder Rosa interview. I've caught up with all the shows from Mission Pro. I have mad respect for what Thunder Rosa is doing to elevate Women's Wrestling with her promotion. The Renegade Twins will be on AEW. That's impressive and it speaks volumes about what Rosa is doing to bring these women on her brand to the forefront.

[@ChristProducer]

This is another one of my faves you have done so far. I have seen other interviews she has done and I learn more about her story each time, in this case I learned the part about her time before Lucha Underground and the effort she put in to get to were she is now. I started watching her in the NWA back when they had NWA Powerrr on their You Tube. I am an 80's, early 90's, Gen X kid, so I grew up on the mid 80's, NWA, early 90's WCW and the golden age of WWE and Attitude Era. Rosa You Tube Vlog is one of a few I watch in terms of AEW and her Taco vlogs make me want tacos everytime, even if I am not in the mood for some. My favorites on the taco vlog so far are Ty Conti, Vickie Guerrero, and Mick Foley. Watching her vlog overall it is cool to see the woman, wife, and cool mom(Melissa) behind the persona that is Thunder Rosa. She has become one of the wrestlers on my "list" recently that I'de like to meet when I can of the few I have yet to of those I have met over the yrs.

[@zonemanbobo]

Rosa works so hard. She's my favorite wrestler!!! Don't worry Rosa your the next champ!!!!!

[@YoutubianLPL]

we all need a thunder rosa in our lives, simply a queen!

[@edgehaedjr]

I jumped partway through the premiere, so I’ll have to watch it all soon. But from where I started, she really has the heart and soul in doing whatever she dreams. Glad to hear she also has a strong, supportive network to help her when she needs it. Not going to lie, her words just kicked me in the butt. I’m hoping to start graduate school in the fall, so it’s application season for me. Plot twist, my computer crashed recently (haven’t turned it on in like five days and now I can’t access it). Going to need to figure out how to work around that, but if she did all of that to accomplish her goals and dreams, then we will need to let her live rent free in my head to kick my butt so I can do the same. 😅

[@LSSSODA]

The lightsout match was the first time watching Thunder Rosa....andnive beeen A HUUUGE FAN since...cant wait to see ya take that belt from baker

[@ryanpotter9152]

i'd be happy to see her hold the title for a long time

[@ravenbeast8639]

Who the F ever thought that "she didn't belong"??!! She was adored and admired from the get-go. It started with that great match against Deeb. This lady has it ALL....

Still waiting for3 dream matches with TR as per her past interviews 1. Her idol who stood up in japan wrestling scene, Kana(Asuka) 2. Same boat as her who started wrestling late but still manage to make it, Shayna Baslzer 3. Her mentor, Io Shirai.

[@sofiadrosos1308]

Great interview. I enjoyed it.

[@BTgla]

Thunder Rosa better win the AEW title this year!!! She's a star in the ring.

[@rossclutterbuck1060]

now that the crowds are back, the Joshi are back, injuries have been recovered from and the younger women have a lot more experience, AEW has a genuine and legitimate talent pool to draw from and push the division properly. Britt doesn't have to carry the title on her own and basically tread water any more.

[@joestone2579]

Thunder Rosa is an inspiration to all.
