To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And I'm not afraid to die.

WWE sucks and is awful. She should have known that. I feel bad for her. I dunno about Carmella and Liv though, I don't know if I've ever seen either of them be good wrestlers.

Is Sasha still in the wind?

Carmella is objectively bad, Liv is someone viewed as has untapped potential held back by being in WWE like Tay Conti so shes only average to below average but very very popular and yeah theres something there.

Toni Storm is one of the best women on their roster and they are just not using her.

Carmella is a fine wrestler who occasionally in the past has been very good. She'd probably be able to improve quite a bit if she got the stink of the WWE off of her.

Liv is very solid and will absolutely have Tay-esque levels of improvement once the WWE releases her.

Carmella did have a decent match, ironically with Zelina, in a mixed tag one time back when she was buddies with R-Truth. No idea how she is in-ring these days though.

I mean that's the difference between a company that cares and a company that doesn't. AEW tries to make the fans happy so when they have minor mistakes like cutting off Suzuki's song, it's noticeable and stands out.

If the WWE does that, it's just par for the course for them.

Christ, I forgot they called Storm up. Poor her. No offense to Carms, but every time someone says she's above "Bad" I feel like she's getting graded on a massive curve. I've seen Carmella like hundreds of times and she can be carried to ok but nothing more.

That stat is wild though. If AEW went 3 weeks without a women's match, I can't even imagine the discourse that would be happening.

This reddit post on Toni's main roster run is amazing

quote:

Week 1 - Defeated Zelina Vega in 2 minutes & 34 seconds. A total of 4 minutes of air time.

Week 2 - No Appearance.

Week 3 - No Appearance.

Week 4 - No Appearance.

Week 5 (including SummerSlam) - No Appearance.

Week 6 - No Appearance.

Week 7 - Backstage segment with Dolph Ziggler where he attempts to charm her, only for her to announce she's actually rooting for Rick Boogs in their match tonight. A total of 50 seconds of air time.

Week 8 - No Appearance.

Maybe we should grade Hikaru Shida on Dark on a curve.

drat it gets sadder when I read about her dedicating the match to her father and having his name somewhere on her gear apparently? And that she used to go to MGS shows with her dad before he died.

The bookers are going to be upset when they realize what they did.... missing a chance to beat someone in their hometown for heeeeeeeeeat.

she was booked against Toni Storm and Liv Morgan so she was definitely losing even if the match happened

fake edit: that show had three matches in two hours.

Rampage had three matches in 40 minutes.

WELL it's 2 weeks until Extreme Rules so they have at least 2 non-title matches to lose until they defend them on the pre-show at the PPV and somehow beat a team they've lost to 15 times in the past 2 months
