Jade probably shouldn't be on TV. She's extremely not ready & it's doing her a disservice: could easily turn fans on her regardless of how improved she is 2 years down the road.

good point, the wrestler with giant arms + washboard abs + 0% bodyfat should not be on camera

Yes, & as we all know that's why Tom Magee had a tremendously successful wrestling career.

Sadly there is more to being a TV ready professional wrestler than having a great look.

Yeah there's also being a big draw with audiences. Thankfully Jade's got that too!

"If I lose I will set myself on fire."
There's more to being a wrestler than good in-ring work and I feel, especially on these forums, people sometimes forget that. She's got a great look and charisma.
I personally don't find her too engaging but it's easy for me to see why people think she's so great. I would have preferred for Ruby to win but I don't think it was a mistake to put the strap on Jade at all. It's true that she needs to be carried to some extent but with clever booking I don't see that becoming a problem because it worked, at least in my opinion, so far.

I'm sure she'll be the full package one day. It was pointed out during the match that Jade is an "11 month veteran." She is doing remarkably well considering that and how much of a wet fart I thought her debut was.

Jade is presented well and her limitations are cleverly booked around. AEW has to strike while the iron is hot. Taking Jade off TV would be a mistake.

Jade's matches are bad in the "you can see her visibly trying to remember spots" sense, not the "Omos" sense. Which is something you can improve upon. I don't think she should be going over five minutes at this point, though.

Also, yeah, she looks phenomenal. Star presence.

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


I will also say that Jade has distinctly improved in-ring since she debuted.

I wouldn't have made her TBS champ (honestly I'd have gone Deeb and made it the workrate title) but I also think the people nominating her match as one of the worst of the year are being a bit silly. What I actually think would help her would be a faction around her so she could show out on tag matches and improve her ring work there.

Jade's perfectly fine. She's still green but she's putting on perfectly fine matches and it's kinda weird that people insist she's some kind of Performance Center graduate who is struggling to do one star matches.

Jade is pretty good considering her time spent training and limited number of matches. I feel like she is approaching the point in her development where she would really benefit from a 3-6 month excursion in Japan. Hopefully she can get over there for a your in the next couple years.

Have been of the opinion she should go to Dragon Gate and become the new ace but she would be such a big star she'd never come back.

iirc Swann was COMPLETELY outclassed in that match? Like, he was gassed within minutes, and he's nowhere near as good a worker anyway, but in spite of that, Kenny still carried him to a half-decent match. Granted, it wasn't a carryjob on the scale of Bret/Bulldog (not least because Kenny Omega is no Bret Hart) but it's not like Kenny squashed Rich Swann or whatever.

I've been seeing "Jade is a Bianca Belair ripoff" takes. They're either not actually watching or are just telling on themselves lol Even in bad faith that's dumb as gently caress.

Edit: to be clear I like Bianca a lot but she and Jade have totally different characters and you'd only think Jade is a "ripoff" if your mushbrain can only see both as "athletic black women" and nothing more

i dont think he was gassed, i think he caught a gnarly head bump early on and was pretty much out of it after 5 minutes

Agreed. That made me laugh really hard.

Jade's fine. She's getting better every week, her promos are getting really good and she's drawing money so gently caress yeah you go girl. She'll carry that title for a long while, establish it as legit, and build a huge star in whoever finally ends her streak.

That unintentionally says a lot about them because as you point out, the only thing they have in common is "black woman". They have completely different personalities, characters, in-ring styles etc.

But I guess only one promotion is allowed to have black people.

Like I'm not into body shaming anyone, but it is seriously hard to read this "SHE'S REALLY LET HERSELF GO" bullshit from a dude who probably looks like a sack of potatoes. This is someone who has no idea how much work it takes build muscle and how insane your routine has to be to get a body like Jade's.
