Match was weak. Promo was weak. She’s just mediocre in every regard. If she’s doing a “look how hot I am. I’m so great” gimmick...I’m already bored.
Personal preference but when she said, “im the hottest woman on this boat,” my reaction was just, “you’re not the hottest woman in your match.”
I hate to judge on looks but nothing about Britt does anything for me. I hope she proves me wrong and this heel turn is great because if she’s always gonna be on screen I’d love to enjoy it.

Why do I get the feeling that she's only getting a push because her boyfriend happens to be Adam Cole?

Well, I feel dumb. In my defense I kinda drown out her matches.
I take this large L in stride. If Impact can carry the weight of 567,890,000 of them, surely I can bare a few.

Why do I get the feeling that she's only getting a push because her boyfriend happens to be Adam Cole? Or because she is marketable , even Cornette puts her over on his podcast. The heel turn can help her improve in developing a character beyond being a dentist. Someone mentioned Hangman, and well he kinda started out like Britt(being pushed into the chosen one and later on booked into a losing streak before getting the drunk gimmick). Not saying she needs to be a drunk as well but that little something that helps elevating her like what happened with Page.

Britt is very marketable and I think this heel turn is something she needed. Now hopefully she ( or anyone ) can get the title off Riho asap.

I hope they bring Priscilla back around, she's got fun selling, but I am not sure if she's still got BAR wrestling and MLW commitments.
Britt's heel turn was fine. Not really wowed by her, but she's probably going to work better as a heel because she just isn't fast enough to pull off the face moveset she tried for in the past. She should get Arn or Tully to teach her some good cheap shots or something.
I love that there have been at least two wrestling dentists, and neither of them use/used the move Novacaine.

I was more impressed with Priscilla, so bring her back please. Britt needs a different moveset--that sling blade is one of the saddest things I've ever seen. She is not athletic enough to do certain things--she doesn't have that 'spring' to her movement that other talent do, like Statlander for example. Could be her lack of muscle mass, I don't know. I like that she's finally committed to the heel turn and I thought the promo was fine and sold well by Tony and JR.

I really dont see any markebility on her.Not anything over the other girls besides a really fit mid section. She had a chance of selling more her character ,she had a really rough promo and being a generic " hot girl".

Priscilla Kelly is awesome. I’m sure she had other commitments so they can’t use her full-time yet, but I can’t wait for her to come in. She has the same it factor as her husband and would be a real boon to the AEW women’s roster. I know she’s considered “polarizing” or whatever because she did what she had to do to be noticed on the indies, but she’s so young, has such an interesting backstory, and is already so good I’m really hoping we see more of her in AEW.

Maybe give her a moveset similar to MJF(I mean MJF in the ring isnt exactly amazing).

So I watched the show on mute Wednesday. Only got to hear the promo now.
I dunno what the f*** people are complaining about. Her casual shitiness to Tony was awesome!
Not all heels need to be mustache twirling.
Casual bitch Britt Baker is my jam.
And the "I'm a dentist, did you know that?" line was totally knowing.
People just seem to want to shit on Britt whatever she does.
(Above comments don't apply to this board, I've not read through this thread yet, mostly seeing people calling it her worst promo ever on twitter)

A lot of people though her promo sucked because it lackeed emotion ,cadence and flow. And it really did. If you enjoyed that is great for you. But I think it was probably Dynamite's worst promo so far. mostly because most promos so far wete at least okay.This is the first bad one.

It's a change of pace. She wasn't screaming in Tony's face, she was coldy and casually shitting on him

(Above comments don't apply to this board, I've not read through this thread yet, mostly seeing people calling it her worst promo ever on twitter) I had a cool moment on the Cruise involving this turn. I was by the ramp, and I was giving her a thumbs down as she walked to the back after the interview, and Britt walks up to me and just high fives my thumbs down. At that moment, I could tell that while she does need some work, she gets what her character needs to be.

That promo felt like an outtake from the abysmal Brandi on commentary segment. I've no issue with a heel ragging in Schiavone, but her delivery was bad.
If she going to do casual, arrogant heel, she could do worse than checking out Kevin Nash's stuff and trying to channel that.

Baker did another heel promo this week and it was MUCH better. It was actually a really entertaining promo and she herself is absolutely way more captivating as a shit talking heel
In ring? Well... that still leaves things to be desired, but on the mic and presence wise, heel Britt is it.

She earned her heat this week, but now she needs to harness it for an angle with another woman so it can have an in-ring payoff.
Fortunately, she gets to heel it up against the ultimate babyface next week when Yuka returns.
