They are awful. Just have Brandi manage Kong, that's all you need to do. None of this other crap. What is the point in that bald guy. Yeah Shida whacked Luther once with her Bokken sword and he spent the rest of the match sitting next to Justin Roberts even when he had a chance to get involved he did nothing.

My family, friends and I were like "why is he just sitting there doing nothing"? It made no sense and was terrible booking.

AEW probably wanted to keep the match with minimum to none outside interference after what happened last week.

It really did shock me how bad Mel was out there
When I saw her the first time I was like "She kinda looks like Tamina", and I didn't think she's have the same "Wrestle as stiff as a damn board" style as Tamina too, yikes.
I dont know what Mel or Luther bring to this. Kong absolutely brings something, she is over, has a presence to her, the rest of this isn't clicking and honestly should end with Kong laying Luther and Mel out for being weak to try and reset this whole thing.

Post match it looked like Brandi was pushing away Mel, maybe they will have Mel being kicked out of the NC for being "the weak link", like others said it should be just Brandi and Kong, and drop the whole dark gimmick.

Mel looked clumsy in that women's tag match, especially considering how long she's been wrestling.

So apparently Mel has been wrestling since 2008?
If you're that bad after a dozen years in the business, quit.

All wrestlers personally introduce by Brandi in AEw Have been deeply underwhelming.
Britt,Allie,Kylie,Mel. They all have suck the life of the division( or in kylie's case real life issues stopped her,but she wasnt looking like much ,probably the best of the bunch)

Dr. Luther getting caught on camera having a friendly conversation with Justin Roberts like "bro good spot" was the funniest shit in the world to me

This is one thing AEW just needs to really get rid of, it not working. The only thing that works is Kong. Brandi just needs to be a manager.

Unlike with The Dark Order, you don't really have the argument of "They're talented, it's just the gimmick." Mel was really bad in that match, I don't know what Luther contributes, and while Brandi can be a good mouthpiece, she's not a good wrestler. This never needed to be a stable. It should've just been Kong wrecking folks with Brandi as her hypewoman. It's a case of trying to do way too much.

They all have suck the life of the division( or in kylie's case real life issues stopped her,but she wasnt looking like much ,probably the best of the bunch) Kylie Rae is actually pretty damn solid. Shame it didn't work out for her in AEW because of the real life stuff going on. But she's far and away the best of the four mentioned and would've been a positive asset for the women's division.

I'm sure she is solid in the ring, it is just the gimmick felt off,kinda cheap and forced at same time.

Last week was already really bad and this week just made things worse. We don't have a single woman in this group that could convincingly do a full, 1 on 1 match and Dr. Luther looked bad despite doing basically nothing.

With Kong being sick, this was a golden opportunity for Mel to show what she could do in the ring and... yikes. Like I said, I've never seen her wrestle in the indies so I don't know if it was nerves or being off getting the best of her or she just isn't that good. But it was bad. Statlander and Shida are damn good at what they do, but they can't carry dead weight like that.

As I said before this has been given the longest leash of anything in AEW thus far and it is time to pull that plug I feel like simple is more with them. Brandi should be going around proclaiming she is wrestling royalty and does what she wants. Hides behind Kong, Kong f***s people up and Brandi brags It is old but it is simple and it works.

You ever get gotten hit by a fireball? Justin: *screams internally* Nope.
