Did we really need a third thread where Baker/Rosa is discussed ad-nauseum? Like legit question. I'm not even trying to be mean, there are literally just copy/pastes from the SAME THREADS in this one now. And it's the third thread where it's just turned into it. This is unnecessary at this point. Thread police have arrived. Just move along.

Also if your opponent is on the outside by the apron don't stick your head through the ropes.

So it seems the explanation as to why people are sometimes out there and sometimes aren't, is a "Managers License", you need one to be ringside for matches. They just talked about it on Elevation tonight.
Obviously they need to elaborate further on that, like how you get one and if there are like long term and short term ones, but it would at explain certain things like "Why wasn't Mercedes out there" or why Rebel and Hayter always are, etc.
Again, they really should explain it or point it out more on commentary. It at least gives credence to why people are there and not there sometimes.

Having had a night to process, I definitely think this was the worst match in AEW's entire history. Sure, there have been "worse" matches involving the Mels or the world, but none anywhere near as prominent or on such a major show. This thread highlights yet another issue I have. Part of the build of this feud was Mercedes Martinez developing a begrudging respect for Rosa, and a disdain for Britt, Rebel, and especially Hayter, yet she couldn't be arsed to some help ensure that Britt's clique doesn't win with shenanigans again? It doesn't even make narrative sense. Rosa isn't even a CM Punk loner type who doesn't actively have allies. EDIT: And to the greater point of the thread, I like AEW's New Japan-style emphasis on factions and alliances. It's just, when you have that actively established as an integral part of success in the company, it's all the more glaring when a face who actively has allies tries to "go it alone," and then loses because of it. Honestly New Japan has this problem too. The baby face factions barely have each others’ back. House of Torture matches right now are insufferable because of this.

Even New Japan's twitter page is snarking at the antics of House of Torture Kevin Kelly just buries them on the English commentary. I can’t blame him, and I say that as a massive EVIL fan myself.
