You've heard about people walking on water. You've never heard about people walking to LA in those shoes. So the shoes may be the biggest problem. =8| I mean, she'd have a better chance if she ditched the shoes. If she tried to swim in those, she'd sink. See! |

I'm mostly just kind of annoyed (emphasis on kind of, really doesn't bug me all that much) that the match ultimately meant and accomplished virtually nothing. After all the promotion they could've at least just pulled the trigger on the Shida turn or something instead of it just being completely spinning its wheels.
Like it was a fine enough match I guess - didn't blow my mind by any stretch but nothing wrong with it - but it really just felt like the same useless Britt and Hayter tag match that happens all the time.

Yeah that’s the thing. They set this up a month ago. For their big LA show. You’d think they’d do ANYTHING to make it feel important. But it was just like any other match these women might have against each other at any point. |

Yeah to me the match was an afterthought and I was waiting for the angle to happen the whole time... |

I wouldn't say it accomplished nothing as they're clearly now trying to plant something with Shida. Now I do think everything kind of felt thrown together and clunky. Now admittedly Britt and Saraya were supposed to build towards the match 2 weeks ago but due to travel issues they couldn't so that could have also been an issue. End of the day I do agree that it ended hp being an L but not just because Mercedes didn't show up |

It would have been good to see some proper story development. Shida's involvement didn't really work for me and I think the post-match should have been the full heel turn from her. It would have given a reason for the match happening and Saraya actually picking her partner instead of the match just being announced. I'm sure we will get the Shida turn eventually, but I think last night should have been the night to make the most impact.

It wouldve been a failure because the crowd wouldve cheered Shida if they had her turn on Saraya and Toni. This is now another of TK cases in which he has to pivot and do a double turn with Britt/Jamie, Toni/Saraya.

Really this entire storyline had been put together very clunky outside of the Mercedes stuff. And the issue is, I’m not at all convinced that Shida won’t still be cheered no matter when you do the turn. I just feel like trying to make her a heel is asking for trouble. |

I would have had her take out everyone. |

I'm pretty confident people won't cheer Toni or Saraya over Shida.
A full-on Shida heel rage might have made up for people's disappointment about Mercedes not being there.

Or even just a pay-off to the "putting those tickets to good use" thing. |

I am completely convinced it was supposed to be Mercedes though, like Britt wouldn't drop that line for nothing, AEW never just drops lines for nothing I think the New Japan dates legit f***ed this up, likely they didn't want to risk Mone in a tag match before Battle in the Valley Tony going Carny to me would have been keeping the partner a mystery the entire time, only for Toni to walk out. We had people reporting like Meltzer that she wasn't gonna be there, and a lot of that began to happen when it was announced she was gonna be at New Japan I think the Boss line was kept in because Mone will be in AEW, but not until Battle in the Valley's over with. I don't think this was an "Anything for the numbers" pull, or there would have been a hell of a lot more to it. There’s a poster on the Meltzer forums who claims to know Mercedes and said she was never booked for the appearance, and wasn’t happy about the tease. And my uncle works for Nintendo.
Fans also really need to stop with this "Toni has boo-boo face" narrative. It's reading way too much into things when that just seems to be a character quirk of Toni's.

Could someone forward me this poster? I actually got the deed to the famous Ha'penny Bridge here in Dublin and I’d like to sell it to them. |

The Toni thing I agree with. As to the poster on F4W, I tend to give more credence to the posters there as they are usually pretty legitimate (and are paying however much a month just to post there). This particular person has been a member for 15 years. Not saying he’s not making it up, just food for thought. |

People paid to be members of Something Awful, too. Unless they have like, actual proof of being friends with Mercedes, I always take people like that with a huge grain of salt.

F*** me dead, why is like 90% of wrestling fandom now “Believe this source, don’t trust that source” and the runaway narratives that can get created thereof?
Bring back hard televised kayfabe, I want off this ride.
