But this match won't just get over without angles like this. You need to do something. Deeb isn't perfect but just keeping the mic out of her hands won't work either IMO. Then pre-tape something. She’s never been good with a live mic. You don’t put a talent in a position where their weaknesses can be shown. That’s Wrestling 101. I just think you need to try still every so often. It's worth a swing and a miss sometimes.

"The women need more time to build their feuds... except when it's Deeb or Rosa talking..." A lot of people wanted Rosa and other ladies to get mic time, but not everyone is actually GOOD at it I guess if you just KEEP giving them promo time they'll eventually get better

You know, when a person sucked on the microphone, they would have someone do the talking for them. It used to be common in the 80s and 90s but is now extinct. I think it was called something crazy like a Manager And yet they give one of the only managers in the women's division to Nyla, who's entertaining as all hell.

You know how they could have started to build new stars? By having Maki Itoh beat Britt If Maki Itoh beating Britt could have led to WWE building new stars who don't suck like seeing Slayer live then shit I can forgive Tony even less for that finish. That's magic. Maki Itoh starts such huge Domino effect that even WWE feels the need to step up

Part of her gimmick is that she is very hard headed(figuritively and literally) and has a large headed Yeah I figured that.

But Deeb doesn't suck? She's not an amazing promo but I thought she was better than the first time she spoke here. Just me I guess. I didn't say she sucked. I'm saying that complaining the women's division doesn't get enough build doesn't invalidate criticism of that build. I get that, I just like, am glad the title feud is getting build, and I thought the promo was ok I though the Rosa/Deeb promo was way worse than this

I'm not sure how much of a difference the actually being live makes in terms of wrestlers getting more comfortable on live promos, but what I think would be good for the roster members that are... less comfortable, would be to have a more organized crew to do cinematic or pre-taped vignettes/promos with them.
Obviously we get these with Darby and for other video packages, but I get the sense these are arranged by the talent themselves, vs being offered, if you will. Though this also seems to loop back into the seeming lack of support for wrestlers who might need assistance with this sort of thing vs doing everything independently.

I just think you need to try still every so often. It's worth a swing and a miss sometimes. If you want other women to promo other than Baker, which everyone here wants especially, other women have to develop on the mic Archer used to SUCK on the mic... they need reps to get there.

Even getting past the poor delivery, what was even the point of that segment? Deeb calls out Dustin Rhodes who just kind of stares at her and the whole thing is apparently a misdirect to be able to hit like one or two moves on Rosa? What a crafty villain I guess? It was just poorly thought-out in general.

Nyla, who is more entertaining than her manager. It's ridiculous.

Honestly, I think they could break Mark Sterling off from Jade or just have him manage Deeb as well.

Deeb HAS gotten a bunch of pretapes too, she's barely done live but she's gotta try at some point or get a manager.

A lot of people wanted Rosa and other ladies to get mic time, but not everyone is actually GOOD at it I guess if you just KEEP giving them promo time they'll eventually get better There is some irony that thr two women most hate in Britt and Jade are by far the best in live segments.... and let me say this, even if the matches aren't there they do give other women mic time and most on the roster just ain't there yet on the mic (even 2 wrestlers I really like in Leyla and Statlander are just awful on the mic even in video packages)
