MJF's episode of shot of brandi was not only really good but it showed four years ago that he'd be an amazing face character as well if he wanted to be

pretty much what he evolved into now

Agreed. Adding to that, OC's was great because it exposed that he's charming and fun out of character and Mox's episode ruled because Brandi was too drunk to carry it so Mox spent like 10 minutes ranting about what makes mac 'n cheese taste good.

I don’t disagree she was a low point in AEW but WWE has decided that Nia Jax and ninja skits are TV worthy and Brandi isn’t. Cody and Brandi just have to live with that.

Yeah, what happened to WWE being this revolutionary place where women get their due and are made into true Stars?

Brandi was never going to be rehired by WWE and she burned the AEW bridge when she tampered with Josh Alexander on live TV.

Why was she never going to be rehired by WWE, *especially* when she did something to burn bridges by doing something to someone in AEW on live TV?

I mean, she was often involved in some of the worst segments on every episode of Dynamite and Rampage she appeared on, so this might be a case where they're correct.

Accompanying Cody to the ring for the big matches? That's fine. Having her own segments, storylines, interviews and promos? Ehhhh, I'll pass.

yeah lol im really not trying to be mean but the brandi-separate-from-cody stuff in aew was hands down some of the worst stuff thats ever been on the show and half of the brandi-with-cody stuff qualifies too

she really really really was not good at it and got a ton of time to show it

He was in NOAH's N1 this year and despite being in a Block with Manabu Soya, El Hijo del Dr Wagner Jr, Go Shiozaki, Katsuhiko Nakajima & Yuma Anzai had precisely zero memorable matches. There was nothing bad, even his Saxon Huxley match was extremely mid, it was just nothing.

She had that one good promo leading into her match with Allie/The Bunny! But then I remember the story in the match ending in the opposite way it should have so it all went out the window

I think "nearly three years of constant presence on tv in the ring, as a wrestler, manager, and leader of her own stable, led to one good promo and a few decent one liners" says more than id ever need to on the matter tbh

All that stuff didn’t even lead to that promo, it was like year-one AEW I think. Everything else was downhill from there.

Two good promos, thank you very much :colbert:

In all seriousness, her promo on Shawn Spears after he'd split Cody's head open with a chair was a drat good promo.

That was such a bizarre segment. Lambert's character was misogynistic, over-the-top rude, and incredibly unpleasant...and Brandi comes out and cuts this incredible heel promo for no reason (she's supposed to be the face) that makes the crowd cheer for Lambert.

The only good thing about the Lambert segments was bringing Paige VanZant out, because she absolutely had the look and mindset for pro wrestling. The other dudes Lambert brought out just looked like they were playacting, but PVZ absolutely nailed being a smarmy heel.

Then she got injured during training, started up her OnlyFans, and made more money in one day from that than she'd made during her entire MMA career, and that was that :sigh:

(I :sigh: because we clearly got deprived of a wrestling superstar in the making, but it's good that she's making a lot of money without having to risk injury for it)

Huh, I always thought she started that after getting hurt, just to make some money since she wouldn't be able to wrestle/fight/etc., and discovered it paid quite handsomely indeed

Anyhow she's not even in WWE so let's get back to Brandi chat :v:

idk if that's true since Jade, Athena, Sasha Banks, and Bianca are pretty dang over. Brandi was just kind of bad at being a TV character. Loved her in Shot of Brandi though, and any time she was defending her husband (or helping him in his quest to become Thich Quang Duc)
