I dont think Brandi herself is bad but is she constantly involved in such crappy angles, some which puts her in a higher position she should be, that people at this point people expect her segments to suck And I do think she is a good heel too tho.

The best thing I can say about her right now is her in ring skill has in fact improved a decent bit, she's servicable in ring now and can put on matches that aren't embarrassing from what I've seen But this whole character ain't it, giving her promo time ain't it, and having her interact with Lambert a second time I really hope told Tony Khan that there can't be a third time.Bless Brandi for trying multiple different angles on trying to get over in this company... but it's impressive how much it fails every time, like consistently. With them introducing Paige VanZant yesterday, there's no way that this thing is ending any time soon.

I also think I’m one of the few or only people here who finds Eddie Kingston kinda meh, so I’m used to being the odd one out with many things in AEW. ‘s no biggie. I’m with you on Eddie Kingston I think he is a very stable roster guy but the kind every roster needs but his intensity sells him more than anything I don’t even have a major issue with him so far as his talent, he’s great at strong style and he is a good interview, I’m happy for him overcoming his struggles. I just don’t see him as like “omg the most amazing thing ever”. He’s just alright for me. And I’ll second Brandi coming off likable on her web show.

So is this leading to The Rhodes Brothers & Brandi vs. MotY and PVZ?
Also can we get Josh Alexandr too please. Much rather have The North than MotY.

I like Brandi a lot outside of the context of wrestling. I’m willing to give her a lot of leeway as an on-screen personality too, because I want to see her succeed. But, stuff like last night is just bad. Not in how Brandi delivered her lines, or even the content. Just in the identity crisis of what her character is supposed to be. She comes out and gets booed. So she straight up cuts a heel promo on the City of Chicago. But, she’s interrupted by Dan Lambert of all people, who cuts a “don’t boo her, boo me!” promo. Then, Paige Van Zant comes out and Brandi immediately is portrayed as face in distress. It’s just such an identity crisis and comes across as AEW being in denial to me. I think heel (or delusional “face”) Brandi who is bitter and spiteful toward the fans who have rejected her and her husband would be awesome. But “please for the love of god this person is supposed to still be viewed as a face, see, she’s roasting everyone’s least favorite Boomer, we swear she’s cool and good” Brandi is just awful. I don’t even know how we were supposed to react to that segment last night. Oh, and as a caveat I absolutely love Lambert and think he’s one of the best heels currently going, so my distaste for that segment has nothing to do with his involvement except for the fact that it made no narrative sense. You know, she should just start a partnership with Dan Lambert. Imagine he said "You know what, these fans are idiots, come work for me," and they came out together. The HEAT! The best thing she could do is not turn on Cody, but lean into the fans rejecting them, and move on being a part of him. They already don't really come out together anymore.

Brandi (and maybe even Cody) joining up with Lambert is honestly not the worst idea I’ve ever heard. A lot of the reason the crowds have turned on Cody as fiercely as they have is because his views on professional wrestling come from the same era as the ones that Lambert spouts in his promos.

I love every iota and bit of CenaBrandi. The nuclear heat, the fact that Dan Lambert can outpop her, and the fact she's gonna get more women of color in the company, go nuts. I even now believe Jade is being built for HER and im upset that thought even crossed my mind smfh

I assumed Scorpio would go for Sammy for the TNT title given that he was asking for a title shot.

Shot of Brandi is genuinely a lot of fun and I know Brandi likes playing the heel. But last night was just dreadful in every single way.
Her best recent moment was lighting the table on fire with the Sickos facial expression.

Might just be Sammy, Cody and Brandi vs. MotY and PVZ.

She comes off to me like someone who has a lot of control over her wrestling character but not a lot of understanding about how to really use that control. In that sense she has some of the biggest power in what she does with the least experience and actual wrestling know-how, and it hurts her entirely because of segments like last nights where nothing really connects. Brandi is someone who just needs someone writing for her, that's not something she good at.

Josh is in Impact's world title scene. I loved The North, but he doesn't really need it anymore whether it's in Impact or AEW.

The fans want Cody to turn heel. The fans want Brandi to go away.

Brandi issue reminds me of QT, remember when QT was also getting go away heat but managed to turn it into real heat?

I did feel sorry for her a bit last night and thought the crowd was being a bit disrespectful. When you’re getting those chants and you’re in the ring with Dan Lambert I guess that is a problem.
Also why are Lambert and company bothering with Cody & Brandi still? Cody isn’t TNT Champion anymore isn’t that what they want?

Would consider myself a massive fan of both character and performer, though not without lamenting some of the less-than-stellar stuff she gets involved in.

When I say I want The North back I would have them as Buck level heels. So my imagination is probably bigger than where they would actually fall on the card.
