Snakeman's rise to television goon has been a wonderful and beautiful thing. I take credit for him using that as part of his twitter handle because I tagged him and Luther on twitter and said that they were fantastic as comedy goons and he retweeted it.

1 year ago was also the start of the AEW Women tourney which was a total waste of time outside of giving us TayJay

Looking at the past few weeks Dynamite cards has me convinced that one of the big problems with the women's division is that they only get one match per show. I mean, the women can't at least get a quarter to a third of the time the men get?

Because it seems as though they can only focus on 1-2 women at a time in their division. Poor Hikaru Shida has barely, if at all been on Dynamite since losing the belt. And it’s not like she can’t wrestle, since she’s announced for Dark 100. They're hoping Rampage changes things. Hell Kenny Omega said himself he wants Rampage to help showcase the women more. At least potentially they can move some lower card Dynamite matches to Rampage and let the girls compete more. One way or the other would help the girls so I hope it happens. It’s a good line from Kenny and I really hope that they’re serious about it, but they wanted to highlight the women’s division when Dynamite started and look where we are now. I genuinely hope this is a real change and we get more than one women’s match per show, but I’m also prepared for the sub-2 minute matches that we’ve gotten as of late. How does Thunder Rosa, your big new signing, only goes 2 minutes after becoming All Elite? Baffling to me.

So, Mel's finally gone?
I don't relish in anyone who loses their job and I hope it's just that her contract ran out and they parted ways. But she is also one of the worst wrestlers I've ever seen of any gender.

And frankly that card was so full that I don't think a lot of matches got time as they wanted that week. I thought she and Julia had a fine little match. Julia is very green and very young while Rosa is a hardened vet. Kinda makes sense to me why Julia didn't last long against her.

DARK was really good story building for the women tonight as Elevation was the night before
- Red Velvet promo where she said she's looking at the Women's Title and Britt Baker just like Statlander is - Shida match where commentary mentioned her returning to Daily's is going to be bittersweet since that's where she lost the title. - Hirsch vs Diamante furthered Hirsch/Bunny which happens on Dynamite this week and Swole/Diamante which is not over. They fought to the back. - Jade Cargill continues her search for brand partnerships
It's good to see they are at least putting effort in to develop the girls especially this week. Hopefully it continues. And hopefully soon we see more women development on both Dynamite and Rampage as well

And yeah, I get that you wanna give her a showcase match, but arguably does she need it at this point? People know who she is, especially after the Lights Out match with Britt. Maybe I’m just shouting into the void. “Rampage will feature more, there’s development on the YouTube shows,” I know, I know. Just feels like they’re doing a disservice given the amount of women in the division yet showing them barely on the flagship show.

From what Cody said rampage sounds like late night dynamite show they ran last year; focus on matches - I reckon 3 matches a week = one longish women's match

One thing I can however say? For the time they might not get on Dynamite? It doesn't show with the crowds. So many women are getting huge reactions when they show up on both Dynamite and the Youtube Shows. Hopefully that is also showing people like TNT that they can put women and more women on TV and the crowds are gonna remain as engaged as ever. Girls like Statlander and Conti are over as f***.

That’s a great pick up. I think the division needs some veteran talent with more name value. Having her around makes everyone in the division better I feel.

I really like the Ruby pick up because the division needs more faces. And Ruby is better as a babyface.

They've got a lot of faces (although Ruby as the #2 or #3 face is a tremendous addition), they just don't have anything to do...partly due to having so few heels, and even fewer heels who aren't protected from losses in mundane matches. I could see Ruby ending up heel for that reason, but I think her best role would be Baker's first feud after (presumably) losing the belt to Thunder Rosa.

Deeb getting injured again is a crushing blow to the heel side of the Women's division. Nyla as a heel is stale. The Bunny/Allie loses most of the time. Jade Cargill still needs time before a big push. KiLynn King looked like she was teasing a heel turn the last time I saw her wrestle on the web shows, and she does have the height to be a threat. Maybe Shida or Swole could turn heel?

Maybe Shida or Swole could turn heel? Shida should turn & have a darker gimmick, she has become so boring. Britt is top heel but problem is she's so popular. Aew have to knuckle down & book her as a proper heel, eventually facing tay, Kris...
