Britt v. Rosa - The Beauty Of Long Term Story Telling

[Celgress]

While the Women's Division (rightly at times) takes a lot of flak, the long-term booking of Rosa v. Britt is nothing short of amazing, IMHO. The immigration allegory has seldom been done better in modern fiction regardless of format; the pampered elitist snob who relentlessly torments the plucky young immigrant until they can take no more because "you don't belong here". Both ladies have gotten tremendously over as a result of their roles in this modern but in some ways timeless drama (Britt first as a heel now a tweener, and Rosa as a pure babyface). TK & co. have booked the subject in a surprisingly subtle & tasteful yet effective way, kudos to everyone involved.

I'm watching the same shows as you and I dont see any of this at all.

No offense, but the allegory is quite obvious.

I mean Rosa already beat Britt clean. She’s been spinning her wheels until she was finally signed last week. The woman’s matches on Dynamite they pretty much pull two names out of a hat. While Britt had a lukewarm feud with Rose. They have mentioned each other in promos, and are probably heading towards a second match for the title. I don’t think the booking is that deep.

I disagree with you. I suspect the hold-up has been Rosa's NWA contract which is now a non-issue. I wouldn't be surprised soon if the pair are moved back into each other's orbits perhaps once Britt heals.

While I didnt see it that way I did see something that could paralel the immigration thing.

Like the part where Britt is the big time girl in AEW while Rosa put bangers while belonging somewhere else was done nicely.Maybe it wanst done for the allegory, but hey,if the shoe fits.

I think the original plan was to keep Britt going with regular title defenses until Rosa was fully contracted, but I'm unsure where the story goes if they have free reign with Rosa. Rosa dropping a fall to Statlander or Conti would make the latter and put them in position to do a solid title match with Britt (especially Statlander, who's been protected in a very "gearing up for a title challenge" sort of way), putting Rosa in a good position to win at Full Gear.

In fact, this would be a great time to give Rosa a different feud, but I don't think anyone's really in a good position for it. Nyla Rose would fit, but Nyla could really use to not drop another fall for a while. Jade could use more time overpowering people below her instead of heading right to someone above her on the pecking order. Rosa/Shida with Rosa coming out on top could happen in the build to Britt/Rosa on PPV, but I don't know if there's enough for an actual feud before it.

...if AEW can bring in Jessie McKay and Cassie Lee in the next few weeks, though, they should absolutely run a feud between them and Thunder Rosa, both because they wouldn't be especially good title challengers and because it would be hilarious.

Is Rosa getting cheered over Britt? Especially if they show the footage from their earlier match?

If only the IIconics' visa situation could get fixed in less than a year.
