Chelsea Green: When Someone Gets Released, I’ll Give Them Contact Information For Other Promotions
Chelsea Green wants everyone to feel welcome in wrestling.
Throughout the years, many female wrestlers have publicly sung the praises of Green, often championing her for being supportive and giving great advice.
Denise Salcedo recently had some praise of her own for Chelsea Green in new interview, recalling the all the times that she has been brought up in interviews with other female stars.
Green responded by noting that that her goal is to make everyone feel welcome in wrestling.
“There’s no better compliment to me. Honestly, I’m not an emotional person, but that makes me very emotional because 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. I’m nice to them but I don’t give a flying fuck about the guys. 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. It’s so nice to hear because I do want everyone to have a good experience with me. I want everyone to know they’re supported.”
Green went on to reveal that she will often give out contact information for other promotions to released wrestlers.
“Whenever anyone gets released, the first thing I do is I message them and I 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 name of the AEW people I know that they can contact and the name of the TNA people that they can contact and then anyone else that I think you could work here, here, and here. Like, I think Billy Corgan would be great with NWA or whatever. Tommy Dreamer, contact him. I just want everyone to have an opportunity and everyone to feel welcome. That’s been my major goal coming back, just be a really really positive force within the locker room and show people that first of all, winning and losing doesn’t matter. I think I’ve done a good job of that. You can lose and still be champion, you can lose and still be booked. You can lose and still make a lot of money and be the face of the company. It doesn’t matter, it’s not that serious. B, it’s really important for the girls to learn — I was just talking to Bianca about this. To get to the top, you do not need to step on other girls. In fact, you should be looking up and asking for the top girls hands to reach up and pull you up. We should all be pulling each other up. The girls that are underneath us, we elevate them by pulling them up. We don’t elevate ourselves by stepping on them. That’s just so important to me and I feel like we have a really good locker room right now that understands that and feels that way, that wants to make wrestling better and not at the detriment of one person or another.”
Green recently pitched a version of WWE Unreal that focuses on the women’s locker room. Fans can check out her full comments by clicking here.
