Wheeler is good at promos but bad at talking because like how Ruby Soho can't cut a promo without sounding like she's going to cry Wheeler can't cut a promo that doesn't sound whiny as hell.
Even then it works for his 'weaselly little poo poo that is even called such by his own teammates' thing.

The women's division has this problem where most of the women wrestle really same-y (of course there are deviations but not crazy ones) and it makes the matches feel very samey.
Deeb and Deona are mat specialists but they need opponents who are the same because neither is Brian Danielson. Also Deeb is only good when she wrestles heel and puts some brutality into her grappling. Right now she is not doing that.
Statlander is a power wrestler but even then she's not exactly transcendent at it. Jade had more impressive power spots, and I say this as somebody who was a vocal Jade critic.
High fliers? Nope. Real down and dirty brawlers like Moxley? No. Well sorta but they need plunder to reach that level.
Like, Toni Storm might be one of the better women's wrestlers in the division but it's like comparing a B- to a B.
And almost none of them make up for it with their personalities. That's a big reason why the division revolved around Britt Baker and Jade for so long. Now Toni Storm has found something that works but that's pretty much it.
Maybe this is just me. I like my wrestlers to do 3 things: Fly, Talk and Bleed (and toss people around if they're really good at it). And the women's division does not give me much of that at all.

This has more to do with how female wrestlers are trained and agented than anything else. Hell, plenty of women in AEW want to do more brawling, but for some reason most of their matches are nothing but spinny reversal sequences they can't pull off well. This is true of most other women's divisions, too; it's not like WWE boasts a variety of styles or gimmicks either.

Some progress have been made, though. Jamie, Toni, Emi, and Shida can and have put on good brawls, Kris and Willow get to do cool power stuff, and they have Aminata and Mariah May wrestling snug and laying their poo poo in. They just need more than 8 minutes (half of which is in picture-in-picture) to do it.

I don't get why they do some much of the overly choreographed sequences in the women's matches. If it's not fast and crisp, it doesn't really look that good. My thought on many of their matches is Why are they running so much?

I know it's not feasible, but a smaller ring would probably help. If someone gets Irish whipped and they have to take 4 strides to hit the ropes, it's tough to make things look tight and crisp.

The 20x20 ring adds an extra step or two into every run to the ropes or corner for everyone that isn't tall, but I don't expect them to change it any time soon. Until then, stop having them constantly running while their opponent has to wait for them.

I am not impressed by Willow's power stuff and it hurts me to say that.
As far as longer matches matches I don't disagree but I'm remembering Shida vs Ryo Miuzaki and thinking it went 20 minutes and the last 5 was the 'pull out the entire bag of tricks to get the pin' sequence. Which is usually the best part of a wrestling match but it felt like Shida just didn't have anything else so she kept going back to the buzzsaw kick like Kenny doing 200 V-Triggers. (I love Kenny but I consider this the sole weak point in his in-ring game).
The women in AEW's women's division are good. I don't think there are any explicitly weak workers (except Madison Rayne who barely wrestlers). But they are good->very good performers in a company with the best men's division the USA, possibly the world has ever constructed and it's hard to take time from them.

That's fine, but an attempt is being made, is all I'm saying. I'm with you though, and would in general love to see more brawling in the women's division because I think quite a few of them would be good at it.

I don't know who is in this core in your opinion but the only person that was involved in a notable hardcore match that's gone is Bunny. Britt/Rosa/Anna/Tay/Ruby/Willow/Penelope are all still there, unless I'm missing someone.

Penelope hasn't wrestled in ages. Who knows if Tay will ever come back. Rosa might be a shell of her former self (time will tell).

It is. Beyond even power and brawling stuff the idea there are no high flying women's wrestlers completely blows my mind. Not just in AEW, in general. Though I hear Lady Frost is a former gymnast who can do some cool flippy poo poo. Hopefully she'll put that package together because the division needs something like that.
