Britt Promo Depreciation Thread

[Chiral]

Please stop the "Britt shoots on the women's roster for an interminable amount of time and gets no comeuppance" it's miserable television I'm so done with Britt one night back

[Lizuka #BLM]

It wasn't even well-delivered. Honestly think I'd rather watch Charlotte than Britt at this point, at least Charlotte runs a pretty good chance at delivering a good match. Britt's only entertaining when she does crazy shit.

[Dr. Bolty, Disaster Enby]

I can't think of anything that would work at this point except that Britt loses to Ruby Soho, Toni Storm, and Jade Cargill in short order before capping it off by getting completely demolished by Jamie Hayter.

Arrive

Get more airtime than every other girl combined in the last 3 weeks.

Bury Division.

Cool,thanks, good to know jade is still the only f***ing thing I should care about because she is the only one not pulled down by the Britt Vortex

[Cyno]

It was shit. Like, not only was the material bad, but she delivered it all out-of-breath. It also seemed like it had a snowball effect of messing up the pace of the rest of the show.

[This Player Hating Mothman]

That promo came off like someone had pro wrestling poorly described to them and their takeaway from it was "oh okay so she's the main character got it" and wrote everything for it

Yeah, the promo delivery was way off... on top of it being more the division is shit and I want to be the queen of shitsville!

Calling it bad would be too kind.

And because of it and she wouldn't ever shut up. The Main Event was rushed and the ending forced

[Tiger Millionaire]

It was terrible and unnecessary. The highlight was confused Najee Harris.

Didn't we have a moratorium on women's threads until the Owen Qualifier was done due to how they always turn?

Anyway yeah, should have left it out, really. It cut the Coffin Match short and it's nothing we haven't heard from Britt before, especially when she's gonna get promo time on Rampage anyway

[The Summer of Muskrat XVII]

Yeah, that was an absolute disaster.

We cant have generic "women division bad"

This is a very specific issue

Poorly booked segment. That's not on the talent.

I think it is when by all accounts AEW people have a lot of control over their characters and this is every Britt promo.

[chrom]

And she's getting another one on Friday?

Is Khan a masochist?

[Ronny Rayguns Is All Elite]

If they're not setting her up to lose in the finals/put over somebody else that would be absolutely wretched booking

She's already getting a hometown hero welcome, why have her give THAT promo

It all runs past TK

"This division is made up of worthless losers who mean nothing! So if I beat them, that makes me... Not particularly impressive, distinctly average at best? Oh. Oh no, I've been doing this all wrong."

Her delivery was terrible tonight and I think that I can put on her.

[Burst]

This is more or less what I said in the show thread, but, I really want to like Britt Baker, I really do, but her character is unbelievably stagnant right now and I feel like her promo work has plateaued or arguably regressed in quality. Her continued prominence I sort of get because it has been, previously, justified, but her continued prominence with how little her character has changed, really *does* feel like it's dragging the division down with her... especially with clumsy worked-shoot promos like this.

She needs a shakeup badly, again whether it's from a shock loss, someone turning on her, someone debuting and destroying her... anything.

And speaking as someone who A. likes Pittsburgh and B. likes that AEW actually lets their hometown heroes be hometown heroes instead of flexing on them, at least half of that segment could've been after the show for the crowd.
