I wasn’t super into her BUT Taz can’t take anything seriously enough to sell such a wrestler. Idk, I remember she put over Daffney back in TNA, though Im curious how badly wouldve JR crapped on Abadon...

Abadon went from having like 300 Twitter Followers to over 1000 since DARK happened.

Unlike other locals she got a character and gimmick. Think AEW was interested in her Her getting that much offense in on Shida means they have to be interested. Likely so, though I think it also helps that Shida tends to be pretty giving in the ring to meet her opponent half-way, Bret Hart-style.. She even tried to make Mel look decent, but even Hikaru's only so capable of so much. Not saying that she was carrying Abadon, she looks genuinely good and interesting, but Hikaru's probably the best person you could debut against, since she lets people get their stuff in and sells like a pro.

Shida sold everything brilliantly and yes, she is one of the best people to debut against for sure But I am seeing a huge buzz around Abadon, and I really think she'd be worth picking up for low price and low risk. If they scooped her, Diamante, and Priscilla Kelly, their depth issues would be much less of a concern. Hope they're looking in to it. AEW likes and is currently very good at taking people nobody has heard of and making them instant names, especially when people beg to see them more, and Abadon's getting that right now, it's reminiscant of Statlander and that's worked out very well.

Abbadon is what I've been saying Statlander should do. The makeup and movements add so much as she's gone all in on them, while Statlander is just quirky with a vague theme and commentators hamming it up.
I don't think she should paint herself green or anything, but she should up the paint and mannerisms.

She does do quite a few mannerisms, she cartwheels, the handstands, the boops, that spinning cradle she does. If you count her BTE segments which are fun. I do understand what you're talking about, but I do like that the alien thing can just pop up every now and again and the alien just happens to know how to wrestle really well. It actually differenciates her imo from Abadon who literally acts like she is a straight up hellspawn. Abadon on a Being the Elite sketch would rule by the way.

I wonder how long Abadon's been at it.
Given Kris has been wrestling for like 4 years at the very most, she's really good. Helps she's just damn strong.

Her main promotion is Rocky Mountain Pro, where she is a two time womens champion, otherwise it's random indie videos on Youtube, the oldest of which is 10 months old So either she has not had an online presence, or she is pretty new, and if she's pretty new, she's impressive, and definitely something AEW would love to work with I would imagine.

I thought it was all a bit much. It's wrestling, it's all about crazyness. To me if Su Yang and Rosemary can exist, Abadon really just fits into that mold and has a place.

From what I've seen she is part of a GoT inspired stable in RMP. Either way. For both her and Severino Corrente the appearances on Dark were great as it brings more eyes to how deep the indies are right now

For both her and Severino Corrente the appearances on Dark were great as it brings more eyes to how deep the indies are right now And it also gets more AEW fans eyes on wrestlers to ask AEW to possibly sign, which is definitely what some of these matches are. There are some matches where they're just a straight up squash, but there are other matches like the Abadon one that felt like a clear tryout with how it was booked and how much she got in. Some matches feel like a way to build someone in AEW, and others feel like a way to get the unknowns over to a point where some might get more looks to getting signed. And I really like it, it's a really good way for AEW to find those diamonds in the rough on a vast widespread Indie scene.

Seemed sound in the ring but the gimmick didn't do anything for me. Feels out of a 2004-2005 movie. But it seems like I'm the minority, so it might just be something that doesn't connect with me.

I dig it. She stands out big time. Even if she doesn't get signed, more eyes are on her now and she will get plenty of bookings from this point forward.

Have to say I would really look forward to her facing Riho or Yuka Sakazaki down the line, mostly for the reactions we would get from the two ladies.
