The more this forum talks about women's wrestling, the more I get why the mods put a moratorium on new threads about it.

It's also weird that there's still these gaps because AEW has done a better job with managers than pretty much any wrestling company has for literal decades.

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. 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. Her pretapes are actually pretty good.

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. She came out to call out Tony, Dustin came out to calm it down, she ran both of them down for picking Rosa to win the match, Dustin picking favorites because he likes and trains with Rosa, it made some sort of sense.

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) Personally Britts promo are the dirty worst. Jade rules

We can want more women's segments and still point out how bad Deeb is on the mic. Not mutually exclusive. Let's face it, a live mic is not Deeb's strength 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. I think Deeb is awful on the mic AND I don't really mind her getting time to improve/give her a shot with more personal material. At least it's funny bad when it doesn't land

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. That wasn't a swing and a miss. That was running into your own end zone for a safety bad

Also gotta say this is another show where a lack of time for the main event took me out of a very good show overall

I will say in fairness to Serena... I don wonder if something else went a little too long... and I think Tony realized that with having Cole attack Dynamite being bad with time is not shocking. Feels rushed more weeks than not lately imo

The more this forum talks about women's wrestling, the more I get why the mods put a moratorium on new threads about it. It's wild. Every discussion about a 5 minute promo ends up going like 4 or 5 pages in the live thread. 😂

Jeff Hardy wrestles like a Dark Souls boss. He has this big burst of doing a move and then he slows down and stops moving entirely for a few seconds.
