This is a ton of fun. Wish they would do more of this on TV.

If they wanna make Elevation more appealing, scrap the nine or match card filled with squashes and instead have three or four competitive bouts on it instead I get the sentiment, but that'd also largely defeat the point of the web shows, where they're also trying people out, trying to get win/loss numbers up, stuff like that. I do think they could find a middle ground, though, like there's room for more even matches, but you still want some squashes. If anything this is the kind of match they should have on Rampage

This is great, why we dont have more Joshi on Dynamite instead of whatever mess Britt and Rosa are involved that week ,I dont know. Agreed, them, Riho, Yuka, Ryo are too good to leave stuck on the webshows whilst Britt and Jade get TV time.

But I still would take any of then instead.

How about wrapping up the current on going storylines at All Out first?
Seeing this women tag match besides the addition of the Mixed tag division it looks like Kenny has power again.

It's hard not to read Kenny's influence into Shida and Emi both looking extra motivated and having a much more engaging and character-driven match on his first night back.

From the insights we have of AEW Backstage it seems having someone you can easily talk to that can talk to TK seems to make all the difference.

Yeah, Kenny returns and the division seems to be showing signs of life again, I hope they give Veny a call next month(Fk that Sally ruined her first US trip)

For the record Kenny originally wanted the women's division to be a joshi showcase mainly with the 4 main American women being Britt, Nyla, Kylie Rae, and the Bunny. For various reasons that clearly didn't happen.

For various reasons that clearly didn't happen. Pandemic being the big one, but yeah, Kylie Rae leaving, then both Britt and Bunny having confidence breakdowns for different reasons. Britt got her first major injury and has said that a big part of why her pre-heel turn matches suffered was she had become too timid due to it. Bunny, yeah, her own anxieties that kept her out of the ring for a while also came into play. Hell, even Nyla ended up missing a chunk of the early pandemic era due to travel difficulties.

Yep Britt and Nyla weren't ready, and Allie/Bunny (while an amazing character worker) also didn't have the work rate to be a workhorse they wanted for the division at the time. How they've used her in the last year in the ring as more of a brawler fits her

Wayyyy too many squash matches on Elevation lately. Stack the Universal Dark cards with quick squashes if you got to, not Elevation.
Ideally Elevation every week should be 1-2 squash matches with local enhancement talent, and 3-4 competitive matches with midcarders, with at least a couple big stars appearing every week. I get you want to stack those records (ugh) but you're completely sacrificing making Elevation anything more than background noise for most people. I had a quick look at this week's card, and skipped everything but the main event, which was a lot of fun.
