Can't think of another female wrestler in AEW that fits "talent with too much power; talent denigrating each other; talent trash-talking potential employees so they never get in as soon as they walk in." Also, AEW All Access.

LuFisto has had heat with Taya in the past and calling someone a "loving french canadian" is kinda weird if you aren't canadian yourself.

Edit: Whoops, read that wrong.

If she's referring to Taya herself, would that really make more sense? Taya had a bunch of other high-profile losses prior too and she only just joined the company.

I dunno any context about heat LuFisto has had with other people, but if you're gonna imply a talent is holding other talent in AEW down, people are gonna instantly snap to the most pushed talent in the history of the company. I would assume she knows when she says that, people are gonna assume she's talking about Britt.

On the one hand Taya has been getting featured a lot, on the other hand she's also losing a lot, so I'm not really clear what they're doing with her.

Just a random, potentially deranged thought: Earlier in this thread there was a discussion on why RoH's booking of the women's division is better than AEW despite having the same booker. Maybe it's because Britt doesn't care about what the other women are up to on the streaming show lol.

If I wanted to shake things up for the better in Dynamite’s women division I would simply book Athena to wreck fools until morale improves

I'd stop booking Britt for a couple months and see how well she regains heat when she's booked like anyone else in the division.


Regardless of whatever that person is implying, I think it would be a fun experiment.

The idea that the ROH women's division is better is really silly because the AEW division has way more good matches because it has more competitive matches and better talent. Athena and Willow just killed it and Athena has been great, but she's mostly in the same kind of match, which is good but there's typically one better match each week on AEW TV.

It's definitely not Taya. Taya wasn't there during LuFisto's one single match in the company.

(Bring LuFisto back you cowards.)

It's most likely either Britt, or...

Why would it matter if Taya was there she is not going to develop a grudge off a one night appearance it's going to be based on reputation or previous interactions.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I think one large factor why Dark and Elevation worked as developmental was specifically because they were free on youtube so there wasn't as much pressure to sell them as a product, and you could book however many squashes you wanted that still established wrestlers as a presence. When you see Abadon every week on youtube, it's easy to accept that Abadon suddenly gets called up to Dynamite for a match against the champ; even if you didn't watch the youtube shows all it took was for commentary to drop in "Abadon has been clearing house on Dark recently" and production to put "27-0" on the chevron. When there's nowhere to establish Abadon you're naturally using your limited-for-arbitrary-reasons TV time for one of the 5-6 wrestlers that are already established on TV.

For all that ROH has more women's matches it's still a product that they need to sell to subscribers, they can target more of a niche audience and have some more leeway but at the end of the day number won't go up if they book six womens' squashes on an episode on the reg.

Developmental doesn't have to squash matches, it can also be trios matches or comedy matches or both
