I said last night Mel reminds me of a female version of Ron Reis. You know, "the Yetay"?
Man, that was rough to sit through. I then tune in after AEW to the NXT overrun and see the end of the battle royal, and while I'm not a Bianca fan, at least they seem to be pushing women strongly via narration as well as through wrestling in that brand. AEW lacks the talent advantage so they should be telling a better story. I do not get any of that with the Collective. I get a woman who can't hype, a woman who can't work, and a man corpsing.

The thing that sucks is the actually good women’s story with Nyla and Shanna has been relegated to Dark so far.

At least Luther was having a nice time.
Probably glad to be in the warm.

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 Yeah I didn't understand that at all. Dude got whacked by the stick once and was just like "Aight that hurt, I'm too old for this shit, I'mma sit down" Like even Excalbur tried to sell the fact Luther was right behind Shida like "She needs to have eyes in the back of her head because Dr. Luther's right there" only for him to be chilling in a chair. If you're gonna book a guy like an unhinged maniac, the dude can't be chilling in a chair doing nothing after getting hit with a stick once, especially when he's been billed as a "Legendary Deathmatch Wrestler" Kong has been the best person in this whole group, and she has literally just squashed jobbers and gotten sick...

At this point, they may as well just run with it and have them being ineffectually spoopy while Kong gets more and more frustrated with Brandi out there playing Tia Dalma with Tall Bald Rando and the old "Deathmatch Legend" that nobody except Chris Jericho has ever heard of.

Heel Britt would be an upgrade over the NC.

I don’t get why anyone would think putting Melanie Cruise on tv was a good idea. As someone who is familiar with her work, she’s literally always been garbage in the ring.
They need to just scrap the NC in general. Brandi can go back to being Cody’s wife and Kong can just be someone that shows up for squashes once in awhile (since she’s fairly limited nowadays). The other two...I dunno.

It’s just weird having Brandi out there with this menagerie of weirdos when her husband is the company’s top babyface.
The disconnect is just too much for me.

And Cody's in kayfabe response is that his wife's affairs are her own and she's her own woman Ok but like, do you just go home with her every weekend and NOT ask her about the fact she's cutting women's hair and hanging out with "Dr. Luther"? Like how does THAT work Cody? Lmfao.

Good on her on addressing about the unpopularity(but gonna call you there Rhodes,there is no likes about it). And Dynamite has done the unthinkable.But even then it was with cases that you could see the qualities( Page's RAW talent and potential,The Dark Order being great performers,SCU being able to put banger matches) But The NC?Yeh..I really don't see how.Between Britt's promo and the NC..man,just cut your losses with the division,STOP focusing on Baker and the NC and focus on the ACTUAL interesting part

It is a Drunk Hot Crowd in a very cool and party-like occasion.I don't think there is anything they would be dead for. I will wait for the next time,if she can get a good reaction.But I find it unlikely

I'll say this, whether or not NC can be save, it's refreshing to hear someone take the criticism in stride, and instead of blaming the fans for looking for something to hate, actually acknowledge there are things that aren't working and will be taking steps to fix it. As opposed to a main eventer from another company lashing out at the fans.

It is a bit jarring for me too, mostly because I'm not a fan of Brandi. It is fun to think about what their dinner conversations are like. CODY: What a crap day. Another one of my friends kicked me in the junk. How was your day? BRANDI: The stuff of nightmares, mwhahaha! CODY: Uh, hon? Is that more hair? PHAROAH: *BARK* (I hate you both.)
