ReelWrestling.com is notorious for getting the candid scoop on WWE Superstars. Seeing as most of their footage features superstars entering or leaving an event, many a time the reaction from the wrestlers is less than cordial. However, it is extremely interesting to see just how they interact with the paparazzi outside of the ring. Reel Wrestling has filmed Divas by the likes of Lilian Garcia, Katie Lea, The Bella Twins, Maryse and Jillian in the past with typical (albeit sometimes fleeting) success, but it is their recent candid video of Roucka aka Rosa Mendes that has especially piqued my interest.
From reelwrestling.com:
Dean Malenko cast a grey shadow over an otherwise sunny day in Buffalo by getting in our face and demanding we shut off the video camera. After our camera man tried to enlighten Rosa that her swarming fans were none too adoring (her real fans are the ones who buy her photos on eBay from those same airport fanatics who surround her at the baggage checks), “tough guy” Dean tried to play the role of enforcer but what he asked us to do on public property was clearly a violation of our rights. And thanks to him, he altered Rosa’s mood so much that she shoved her cell phone in our face as she exited as if WE were the enemy! Rosa, we just want to promote your attractive face and sunny disposition, along with any message you want to get out to your fan base (by the way, if anyone wants to translate her message, please leave a comment below). And, please tell Dean to relax and back off the next time. We’re not the enemy and it seems that the gorgeous and cheerful Kelly Kelly was the only one in your group who “got it” that day.
Watch the video after the cut:
To be honest, I was almost taken aback by Rosa’s reaction. She initially comes off as somewhat kind and welcoming at the start, briefly addressing her Spanish-speaking fans, but her demeanor soon changes at the expense of the cameraman. Now, I’ve noticed that the paps behind the camera tend to be very aggressive and intrusive, and I cannot blame the Superstars for being rather annoyed. The last thing you’d probably want to experience after an exhausting plane ride is a hyper individual shoving a camera in your face. However, as a follower of Reel Wrestling for quite some, I can say that I’ve witnessed most Divas excuse themselves far more politely and in a less “elitist-type fashion” than Rosa exhibits, here. Meanwhile, Kelly Kelly (who has been featured in quite a few Reel Wrestling videos) just laughs it off like a champ. To be fair, Rosa could have just been having an off day. To some extent, having Jillian return puts Rosa back on the bench. Now, that would put any jobber’s panties in a bunch! Let’s just hope Rosa learns not to take the term ‘Diva’ so literally, next time.

I think the guy was a bit douchey to keep saying ‘marks’, are they marks just because they want to take a picture with someone? Seems like Rosa was warned off from talking to him as we see her say ‘Enough’ at the end of the video. That said, I can’t say I’ve heard glowing praise about Rosa’s attitude from people in FCW.
Something about Rosa always screamed ‘DIVA’ to me, so I’m not surprised, but in Rosa’s defense, that guy is annoying as hell.
True, and I get Rosa’s annoyance, but a simple “no thank you” would have sufficed, you know? Perhaps something a little more gracious? She seemed to have gathered some courage when good ‘ole Dean Malenko stepped up to the plate. The cameraman is too aggressive, but the ‘mark’ thing seems to be running gag with them. I’ve seen superstars like Kofi Kingston, Jillian, and Carlito just laugh it off. I think Rosa might have overreacted a bit.
pff, who does she think she is,
im sorry but i dont think the camera-man did something wrong, if she cant even handle this, she should never go hollywood
Rosa is a pure DIVA, I understand her, when you have a bad day adn you’re f*cked up you don’t want strangers to come talk to you, but she could’ve say “go to hell” in a more polite kind of way…I still think the cameraman is a big jerk :P
Rosa is SOOOOOOO hot and Kelly seems SOOOOOOOOOO nice!!

Tiffany, I feel that Rosa is entitled to react any way she wants, whether that is by laughing it off, or by punching the cameraman. It seems you are using this clip as yet another excuse for people to criticise Rosa. She was having a camera shoved in her face and being asked questions by an obnoxious creep, of course she is going to be a bit uncomfortable. Anyone would. The guy was taking the piss. Go Rosa!
Another note for all the Rosa haters: Whilst she has done nothing to impress me, you have to remember that the WWE does not give its Divas a chance to be individual or show much in the way of personality. Rosa is brand new and deserves A LOT more time to show us what she’s got before we start writing her off with some of the nasty comments some fans have used about her.
:)
Just in case there is any confusion regarding my last post, Tiffany I’m not saying you are a rosa hater (you may or may not be, I don’t know) – I’m just refering to those out there who are ;)
Kelly Kelly smiles at EVERYTHING though. And I’ve seen most wrestlers become annoyed by the idiots at reelwrestling, so I can’t say I blame Rosa.
Oh whatever. She’s still mad that nobody voted for her ass in the Diva Search. xD Lol Jp But I know I won’t be like that…..maybe I will……I DO have a temper….And I’m an asshole when I’m tired…But enough about me. I just have one more thing to say…..
“LEAVE ROSA ALOHOOONE! SHE’S A HUMAN BEINGUH!”
lmfao
I hope people don’t start comparing Milena to the likes of Ashley Massaro and Jenna Morasca :(
I have a feeling that she’s going to do something -not so nice- and people are going to start a Rosa-Hate-Club :(
She’s nothing like Ashley!! BELIEVE ME !! If you watch her OVW matches, you see what I mean !
She’s just not at the level of Alicia and Layla…BUT SHE’S BETTER THAN TRASHLEY BOTCHAROOO, so please people, stop the hate and spread the love !!
Guys, Rosa is not exactly my favourite wrestler, but I’m not rallying up people to light torches outside her house or anything. I saw the video and figured I’d offer my own impression of it. Simple. You’re free to conjure up your own opinions, but I doubt any anti-Rosa organizations are going to sprout from this.
Ashley is trash…Kelly Kelly seems SO sweet …poor Rosa…
@ Tiffany: *holding torch* Too soon? *hides torch*
@ Tiffany – I understand your point of view, and I’m glad you gave you own opinion :D
LOL @Steven :P
OH PLEASE!That guy that does the camera stuff for “reel wrestling” is a total douche!Calling people marks when he doesn’t even know them!All Rosa did was shoo him away from the her,if I was her,I would’ve done way worse to that ass hole!(Excuse the language)And trust me,Rosa is NO favorite diva of mine.She’s probably my least favorite wrestler,even more than Maria!Yeah,that’s right!I said it!……
lmao He’s calling them mark , yet he’s the one with a camera in their face. But I don’t know, think Rosa could’ve handle it better imo she kind of came off as a bitch.
I miss ashley
I understand Rosa , she’s not actually my favorite wrestler around there , but I respect her as a person.Actually , I would do worse than she did , this guy is a jerk , poor Rosa.Props for Kelly who just laughed it off :)
