The pinball machine:
- What Could Have Been:
- Apparently, Pat McMahon drew an X-rated backglass for an interested European market, but it was never produced.
- The balls were originally intended to be black (like cannonballs), but this idea was presumably scrapped for cost reasons.
The Wrestler
- Breakup Breakout: The breakout beneficiary to the breakup with Destiny.
- He Also Did: While at University she competed in taekwondo, boxing, track and field. Her 13 and 4 boxing record in particular was LFC's reasoning for billing her as a boxer instead of a wrestler, despite wrestling for seventeen years at that point. Even then that was stretching things, since her mother took her out of boxing at 2-0. Even if you add her amateur fights to her professional boxing record she's still 5-2, so the other 6-2 of her record would have to come from taekwondo, which LFC neglected to bring up.
- Network Decay: Either ran or was central to Ring Warrior's Battling Bombshells Facebook page as the division's champion. When Ring Warriors went (back) into hibernation, she continued to use it/be featured for promotional purposes, but obviously not for the originally intended company, till they became active again in April 2015.
- Promoted Fanboy: She wasn't actually a fan of professional wrestling itself growing up but was a fan of Bruiser Brody. Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit were the ones who inspired her to jump from fan to wrestler(she had been in the ring, on television by that point, but was still in school and only working weekends for Los Compadres), while Kurt Angle, Lita and Beth Phoenix were the ones she tended to study.
- Real Song Theme Tune: The following list is not even all of them
- In WWC and NRW Lucha Libre: Culo by Pitbull
- WWC "Hips Don't Lie" by Shakira, Abusadora by Wisin y Yandel
- In NWA and PWS: La Batidora and La Batidora 2 by Yaga and Makie. In FOW she has the 2007 La reunion remix of La Batidora, which is more fitting, given she usually gets a hero’s welcome in FOW.
- In NWA FUW: Gasolina Daddy Yankee, a theme formerly used by Génesis
- Referenced by...: WWE rejected her applications for employment at least twice. Rose stated that after showing what she could do in the performance center that she was outright told she lacked the spirit of a professional wrestler, but WWE announcers did mention her by name during their 2023 Backlash event while talking about the history of professional wrestling in Puerto Rico, so at least two people in the company thought otherwise.
- What Could Have Been
- She might have stayed with taekwondo if she hadn't gotten pregnant at 19 and may have gone back to it or boxing if Rico Suave hadn't challenged her to try professional wrestling at 21. Even then going beyond managing wasn't her plan; despite running track at the time she said her first round of rope running and rolling drills caused her to vomit. What's more her mother hated combat sports despite taking part in them herself, had successfully ended her daughters' participation in them to that point, and tried to encourage Black Rose not to get physically involved in matches. The boys hatched a plan to nudge her towards becoming a wrestler. They encouraged her to get heat on herself and Bronco by attacking baby faces but then explained they'd come to the point they'd have to hit her back or else the fans would think the baby faces were pussies. Well, since you've taken hits from men, why not women? Even then she tried to get back into boxing at 26 but then decided it wasn't worth the money compared to the wrestling bookings she would have had to miss.
- WWC's 38th Aniversario Tour advertised a rematch between Sarita and Mickie James but ended up having Sarita trade wins with Black Rose instead and then had Rose wrestle James in her place.
- When Ring Warriors and The Pro Wrestling Syndicate were arranging bookings, Awesome Kong was originally put forth as an opponent, rather than a partner. Also, the match that seemingly started her multi promotional feud with Mia Yim would have most likely been against Cherry Bomb or Jillian Hall, whom Von Eerie and Yim were substitutes for.
- Apparently her dark match with Andrea 2014 was supposed to be on Ronin's filmed card but La Rosa arrived after the show had already started.
- In 2017 she was supposed to face Jessicka Havok in World Wonder Ring STARDOM's Cinderella Tournament but pulled out of STARDOM altogether with Natsuko Tora substituting for Negra in a losing effort. Two years later Havok's friend Allysin Kay revealed this was over hostility between Negra and Havok's Tag Team partner at the time. Negra specifically instructed Renee Michelle, who helped her jump to Marvelous, not to tell anyone about it but wrestlers found out anyway. Not just wrestlers, La Rosa point blank told the host of the Duke Loves Rasslin podcast "no" when he offered her a "safe space" to talk about it but Negra eventually opened up after seeing even Kay knew.
- In 2019 Black Rose and her old rival Krystal la Potra got together with intent to start a Distaff Counterpart to Doom Patrol, the Tag Team Krystal was managing. WWC instead decided to substitute Peligrosísima Krystal at Consequencias for Roxxy, whom Black Rose was feuding with. While Rose vs Roxxy was Good Versus Good almost to the point of Friendly Rivalry, Black Rose was called on to aid Chicano, who was part of a baby face tag team with Xic Xavant against a heel Doom Patrol and Black Rose's resulting feud with Krystal followed the same dynamic. This extended to Desi Derata becoming a heel when Krystal went on to replace Roxxy as her tag team partner.
- In 2012 she was the main star of independent Puerto Rican promotion "Women Of Wrestling" at the same time another promotion called Women Of Wrestling was revived in the 48 states. Black Rose made her intentions to work for the other WOW as well clear, but she was rejected. If Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select is to be believed, the other WOW did offer her a job in 2021 but Rose rejected them this time around, finding their offer to be insulting. According to Sapp, Black Rose would have been a Plot Device with a heartbeat used to help Tessa Blanchard turn baby face. Rose and Blanchard were at odds at the time, and while they would make peace in 2023, Tessa had left WOW by then...and there is still a lot of distance between "peace" and "willing plot device".
- For Halloween 2021, LFC announced she would represent their then new "blue team" for a pay per view fight in Mexico against Salina de la Renta. LFC wasn't allowed to run in Mexico due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, so they instead had a show in Las Vegas Nevada with two masked luchadoras clearly not Salina nor La Rosa.
- In July of 2023 she was to defend the New Evolution Wrestling Women's Championship belt against Angel Orsini, but NEW ended up needing to substitute an opponent for Orsini due to La Rosa Negra getting in a car accident.
