Since we have to get specific. Her booking tonight was two packs of ass. She called the division trash and then proceeded to win the tournament and prove that the division was indeed booty cheeks. I do not think that was the correct decision.
Please discuss.

"Proving the division was butt cheeks" would happen if anyone didn't watch the match. Match was really good.
I get not liking Britt's earlier promo, but the match delivered for me and it definitely seems like this is building to Ruby hitting a breaking point. Wanted her to win, for sure, but just take it somewhere and I'm cool.

Shit everyone knew was going to happen, as usual the entire rest of the roster looks worse for it, it's the Britt Baker show, we should all know the drill by now.
100% confident she's going to be the one to beat Jade. ... And that when it does happen it'll probably be an absolutely horrendous match.

They made a big mistake locking the women's thread. Honestly Britt isn't a bad wrestler but what does she gain from winning this tournament? Its maddening to me that TK keeps trying to book her as this uber ace of the division

They made a big mistake locking the women's thread. No they didn't, that had more than run it's course, just like the last one did that became the all encompassing women's discourse thread imo. |

The match was good, and, in a vacuum, I even see why you have Cole and Britt win the respective Owens to accept the awards together.
Britt has also officially surpassed Scorpio Sky as the wrestler with the biggest disconnect between FAN’s opinion of her and the audience at large’s opinion of her.
That said, Ruby losing the match firmly established her as a jobber to the stars, which sucks. And, like you said, it doesn’t make a whole lot of narrative sense for the story to be Britt being like “I’m literally better than everyone in this division. No one is on my level.” And then just…proving that. It definitely left a sour taste in my mouth.

If the booking continues its course its gonna muck up the board. Its honestly easier to put it into one topic because I don't think we re all gonna agree on this right now |

Personally, would have had Ruby win, but SRS said it best on the stream "if you want to make a tournament or title mean more, you have the first winner/champion being a top star". Not everybody is going to agree with it, but I do agree with SRS that Cole and Britt winning makes the tournament matter going forward. Though again would be fine with Ruby winning.
But as I said in another thread. At the end of the night, they made the Cup about Owen's family, and Britt/Adam were gracious in accepting the belts and the focus was on the memory of Owen.

I'm just gonna come out and say it, people are like "The division is dead it's ALL about Britt Baker" and I'm just exhausted by it
I didn't want Baker to win either, but Ruby Soho isn't dead in the water, frankly losing two Tournament finals is a good story to build on, while still making someone credible. Ruby beat Riho and Statlander to get to the final, they weren't pushovers. She wrestled two days before she had to fight Baker even too. She had to fight women to get to Jade too, a match where she was very physically outmatched but still put up a fight.
I think Ruby can still go on a run here, even go for the women's title if Baker still feuds with Storm, which I think is the plan because I know some peeps were like "She's gonna fight Jade" but Jade has Statlander AND Athena on her ass right now so... that's not happening.
I think you build up that Ruby can't get over the hump, maybe even have Rosa fight her at All Out or even before it, but I think you do that if she's winning. Either way, Soho's not even been here a full year yet, I think you can do a lot with this, and as long as they DO do something with it, it'll be good, and the Women's Division has been branching out with their stories and focuses more, which is a credit I give to them.

My response to the whole Britt being super over thing is kind of two-fold.
1. Why should I care?
2. Maybe that has something to do with how for most of the existence of the company she's been the only woman who ever does anything.

I disagree with that highly. Half of the WWE board is a giant complaint fest of the booking. I dont see why that thread was special it wasn't heated as the last time you locked it. Everyone was being respectful. Tell me why it ran its course because after tonight you're just gonna open the board up to more individual AEW women wrestling matches |

I'm not fond of Britt, but I can see her as a cornerstone of the division. Her booking just pretends she's at the height of her abilities, when she's still got plenty to learn, and therefore I don't see her getting better. Depush her, give her something new to do - that's not just better for the viewer, but for her as well. I've got a much bigger problem with Cole winning however, because I think he's so much inferior in his division relatively.

I dont think anyone is saying that. We re just saying this just puts her side of the division at a holding pattern that never ends. You in particular keep telling us to be patient but dude its been three years a lot of our patience is wearing thin |

I don't know if I agree with that. I think you can also use the first tournament to make and truly establish a new star. They could have done that with Ruby tonight and she could have easily had the credibility to face Thunder or Jade but now? She either has to turn heel or nobody's buying her winning the big one. Establishing someone as a new star can create credibility for a new concept IMO. |

There are some people who have been even and civil with their discussion, but we do in fact get some really boiling takes with this division that make discussion next to impossible. |

The only one who was tired of it was you and the mod. I'd understand if that thread was toxic but it wasn't since the last big blowup. We got rid of most of the bad actors in here. |
