Idk if AEW's women's div needs stars as much as it needs TV time. If you want to watch Giulia wrestle you prob shouldn't want her to sign with AEW, where she'll wrestle once every two weeks in a heatless match. Maybe once every week if she's getting pushed. Having Giulia or Moné on the roster isn't going to suddenly make TK book more than one women's match per show. Giulia should go to AJPW and wrestle Nakajima for the Triple Crown.

Either that or go to SEAd to fight the other Nakajima, it's another chance to get kicked real hard

Newest Observer reports that AEW has not made a serious play for Giulia.

Why?

Because the last thing AEW needs is more new signings when they already have more wrestlers than time to show them.

When Tony named all the things he thought were cool that got him into wrestling, nobody ever questioned why none of them were like...All Japan Women or Aja Kong or Manami Toyota. Or why Kenny was explicitly given control of recruiting for the division (because Tony didn't give a poo poo)

They're not signing Giulia. Hell, this is going to be the second time they won't sign Mercedes Mone

They should make Tony Khan an on screen heel but only for the women’s division, give Riho the stunner and redo Austin/McMahon.

Jade doesn't give a poo poo because she's independently wealthy already and is doing wrestling because it's fun and also because she wants to be the next Rock. She doesn't really have any motivation to do more than the bare minimum in ring and hell i can't blame her because if i was making kevin nash money like that i'd do the least amount possible too

I agree that for anybody wanting to watch Giulia wrestle, AEW is the last place you should want her to be. That doesn't take away from how stupid Tony Khan is for not showing any interest in her (if that report is to be believed) when he will open his wallet for any washed-up white man who was in the WWE.

I mean, when Tony Khan was scooping up lads left and right the way most of us did back when we were playing EWR, he still showed little to no interest in hiring women once they were available.

When Vince Vince'd his way back into power in the WWE and went on a firing spree, Tegan Nox was there, Evie was there, etc. Right now, Tenille Dashwood is available (or will be soon, has it been 90 days?).

I'm also firmly of the belief that there should be a Women's Tag Team title in AEW and ROH (there should be a women's equivalent for every male title, IMO but I guess the roster isn't deep enogh right now to support a tertiary title), with plenty of ready-made tag teams and Anna Jay and Tay Conti (in addition to Penelope and The Bunny had the latter's contract not expired). It would have also given a lot of the women who are often unseen for ages something to do.

Tenille Dashwood is very bad.

Do you think Tony wants a women’s division or does he feel he’s obligated to have one? Or does he feel that one match per show is fine since a lot of the wrestling he watched growing up only had one (or none) per show?
