I think it is when by all accounts AEW people have a lot of control over their characters and this is every Britt promo. Up and down the male roster, every heel seems to understand that they have to talk up their opponent, to the point where even great promos like Jericho sometimes sound contrived as they work in a token compliment. MJF doesn't do it so much directly, but he is constantly setting up little things where the audience can have fun proving him wrong and watching him flail over it. And Britt's seemingly just...never learned this? Didn't every wrestler in the modern day learn this lesson by reading Have a Nice Day as a kid? With the massive braintrust they've got backstage, how has nobody ever told her to knock this off? I can't imagine anyone else thinking this is a good idea, and it's a habit that's chipping away at Britt's own value by making her ineffective at putting others over. Apparently one of the main people who helped Heel Britt come to life was Cody Rhodes Somehow... it makes it all make sense lol

I just realized Britt Baker's character progression or lack thereof since the end of the Daily's Place era made me think of Harry Kim from Voyager, and yeah, that's not a good look.
I know that pragmatically it would never happen unless she takes a long sabbatical from her dental practice, but I'd really like to see her go be a heel gaijin in ChocoPro or such to ideally freshen things up.

Like yeh I get even britt in Pittsburg.
But you could just have had a 5 minutes squash and be done with it. Britt is the only female wrestler that would be more than okay to have a 5 minutes match.

Sometimes I feel like Britt's promos are written word for word by Tony Khan, and it's actually his perspective, not Britt's.
Britt is the only one that matters.
The rest of the division is beneath her.
She's the best.
I still think TK is enamored with Britt Baker, and it's not very well hidden. From presentation to content of her promos.
A lot of times it feels like it's him talking through her.
And I don't mean he's like in love with her or a creep or anything, just that he clearly likes her alot, and makes sure her character is "the golden girl", and it's the reason all of her promos are exactly the same. Tony see's Britt this way, and can't see past it so it's all she says because it's his point of view, not hers.

I can't imagine anyone else thinking this is a good idea, and it's a habit that's chipping away at Britt's own value by making her ineffective at putting others over. Dan Lambert, arguably one of the most hateful and awful heels in AEW in terms of actual content and character, will 'accidentally' put over AEW like hell whenever he cuts a promo on the company. Even before they gave him people to manage and he was just out picking fights, he found ways to put over the fans' love of AEW, how great the in-ring action is, how great the future stars of the company are. it was backhanded and warped around but it was there and it gave a decent point to rally around. He is wrong and everything he's trying to shit on is great actually. Britt never looks weak and never accidentally clowns up anything and she is always in control. She puts people down and then she beats them. The Bucks looked like tools. Kenny had moments of pure buffoonery. AEW's other major heels and even long heel championship runs had something going for them. They gave a little and they let things seem more natural and even. Britt is on that Roman Reigns shit and nobody cares about the division enough to stop her.

Britt sucks and I'm tired of trying to find the silver lining of anything she does.

Eh,I just think Britt peaked and coasted on what worked on the start of her turn, for 3 years.Because even in ring and the bloody hardcore theme ,she has been doing the same schtick Not to say TK doesnt think that either,is clear she is the only one he bothers showcasing.

Yeah that was bad and it falls on the booking of the division.
Jade and her baddie section have to be the top heels if they want Britt to be a tweener....

The entire segment was basically everything wrong with the Women’d Booking in general:
1. She’s back for one night and it already feels like Britt is the center of everything again. She got more time here than Rosa has gotten since becoming champion. And she got to cut a pointless promo after her match, which almost no other woman gets to do. AND she’s getting an interview segment on Friday, because that is totally necessary.
2. She does not seem to know how to cut a promo that does not show involve her burying everyone and/or no selling things. She is incapable of building anyone up. And when TK refuses to book the division better, him letter her cut these smarky promos talking about his thr division sucks, does nothing for anyone.
It was just terrible all around and it does NOT fill one with confidence going forward.

There is also Jade, and her baddie section which gives Kiera and Velvet tv time, wont be shocked if down the line we get a Jade vs Britt feud...
