Former Knockouts Tag Team Champion Rosita has won this year’s Inspirational Wrestler of the Year award from Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine.

TNA President Dixie Carter posted a picture of Rosita with the award and congratulated her. Dixie wrote:

Rosita — real name Thea Trinidad — debuted for TNA in January at the tender age of 20, and has gone on to find success as one half of the Knockouts Tag Team Champions with on-screen cousin, Sarita.

2011 also marked the 10th anniversary of 9/11, and as has been well documented, Rosita’s father, Michael Trinidad, was one of the victims of that tragedy. Rosita has often cited that her father — an amateur wrestler — was her inspiration to get into wrestling.

Rosita achieving her dream of hitting the big time in wrestling in 2011, 10th anniversary of her father’s death, is pretty inspirational. Congratulations to her!

  4. Congratulations to Rosita! Using one of the worst things that could possibly happen as inspiration to live her dreams is certainly inspirational.

    I wish she’d worn a top in that picture though! Even though she is a beautiful woman with a great figure, it seems a bit odd to pose with an award in (what is essentially) her bra.

  5. Congrats Rosita..Hope next year she wrestles more

  6. Congrats dear Rosita! :)
    Hope to see more of her again soon!
