I think people underestimate how much that cage match win is going to do for Thunder Rosa. She'll be completely fine.

Sometimes in wrestling, getting to the destination can erase some of the problems in the journey. Sometimes it doesn't. You can't really say either way until you get there. Whether Rosa's title win will get the pop it deserves or will fall flat isn't possible to say right now. I would've done the change at the PPV, but maybe doing it in a Dynamite main event will be just as good. Who knows?

So what’s the point in the Leyla match? Dumb. Because just giving Rosa an immediate rematch is a trope people hate in wrestling too. It's a situation where there would be complaints either way imo If they're avoiding tropes people hate, why do the trope of the challenger pinning the champ in a tag match on the go home show, only to lose at the ppv?

Whatever, I don't give a shit about the title anymore. Just @ me whenever Britt finally loses the thing.
If you're gonna have Rosa win in San Antonio, then don't have her lose on the PPV.
I don't care if the coke head is satisfied with his booking.

I really enjoyed all three women's matches from Revolution
If it does lead to a rubber match between Britt and Rosa in a cage and they main event a Dynamite with it then I think that will be a much bigger moment than winning the belt in between Punk-MJF and Danielson-Moxley, in my opinion
Either way, three solid matches for me

I also think from some of the criticisms I've seen online (not necessarily here) is that more people are mad what women are being featured than anything.

Not sure which one's people don't like, but Revolution was the first time Jade 'clicked' with me. Not sure if it was the gear or if she is learning to show a bit more presence, but she looked like a star. If this was a game of TEW she'd be right up their in the 90's for star quality lol

The thing that I have noticed here is that each individual woman in the promotion seems to have like 3-5 posters who hate her and never want to see her on TV ever.

It's a situation where there would be complaints either way imo If they're avoiding tropes people hate, why do the trope of the challenger pinning the champ in a tag match on the go home show, only to lose at the ppv? at least they do it rarely enough where it's still up in the air whether they are following the trope or trolling it. could be part of the build to a "tiebreaker" for san antonio "you pinned me at the ppv, i pinned you the wednesday before (since the lights out match "didn't count") let's do this one more time and see who really is the best." but i also think rosa winning at the PPV would have been the bigger moment. as far as jade, they need to give her a feud with legs to it instead of "i beat person A whose next?" (person B comes out and they have a match a week or two later). "ok i beat B whose next?" (person c comes out). i was high on tay's chances to be the one to dethrone her but that match arguably had the least build of any match on the card.

Wrestling as a whole deeply needs to move away from the idea that “lengthy = inhertetly good” The reality is that a short reign in an ultra competitive division is pretty much always going to do more for somebody than being a placeholder smacking away everybody that even gets close. Combine that with having to use all the generic heel shit in your matches and it’s a no-go for the modern era. I actually like the longer reigns, but it is definitely a different time now. When Bruno and Backlund held the title for multiple years, there wasn't 9-10 hours of wrestling on every week. Even when Hogan was champ for 3-4 years, you had an hour or two a week with a monthly (or quarterly?) SNL along with a PPV (up to 2 or 3 by the end of that first reign) a year. We didn't see the Champ NEARLY as often as we do now (every week sometimes twice). I think AEW does it better in that the World Champ isn't on every TV, but still. Going back to the women's specifically, I definitely think it's time to give someone else a run and to build something new. It's not like Britt is going anywhere. If the new champ (Rosa or someone else) isn't working and no one else is "ready", she's going to be there and can take it back.

They need to do better consistently using women on TV bedsides Britt and Jade.
All the others tend to have to take extended periods of time off TV, often randomly seemingly, and it often ends up hurting their momentum and/or storylines.
Ruby and Nyla are two current examples of this.

It isn't even limited to the AEW board. Like there's a couple of posters who act like Charlotte ran over their dog with how OTT the hatred is for her at times. And I don't even like Charlotte, but the amount of vitriol she gets from like the same few people even in threads that have nothing to do with her is ridiculous.

Like, the people who think she's played enough politics to have Vince let her get away with anything...completely goes against any sort of logic.

For what it's worth, Fightful is reporting the finish to the Rosa/Baker match was changed multiple times in the lead up to Revolution.

I just miss Mel, ok. I’m spoilt by too many good at best women. Even Rebel can justify her place if she’s not wrestling!

As I said on the PPV thread, the main title kinda doesnt exist for me anymore,I just treat the TBS as the main title (which honestly at this point is treated much better).
I dont even care if Britt loses at this point, it just became a void I skip every week.

Yeah, as someone who criticises AEW constantly for their lack of push of the women's division, the little airtime they get I am starting to skip because I am so sick of this shtick unless it isn't world title related

So Jade challenged Anna AGAIN, idk about Anna eating the L one more time instead of having Jade face someone new. I guess Nyla will be Rosas first challenger then...

Since the Britt/Rosa thread was locked, I'll say that SRS just noted that the match finish was changed several times this week. Might've played into the frustrated look on Rosa's face as she entered, and the general final product being what it was.
