Mercedez can’t promo, that’s fine, when she wrestles it’ll be a bunch of fairweather marks going crazy in here.

Also I just got a nielson letter if anyone wants to bribe me to watch dynamite

I wouldn't mind Mercedes spinning her wheels so much if we didn't simultaneously get Osprey and Okada having matches all the time and winning titles first try.

People tell me these three are among the best wrestlers on the planet and Tony's keeping me from seeing one of them wrestle

Mercedes is coming off a career threatening injury, Tony might not be keeping you from seeing her wrestle.

I mean, not really. Everyone seems to be of the same mind that her promos stink and her wrestling is good, and that she’s not being used to her strengths yet. Not really fair weather at all.

Turning her full heel and having Stokely manage her so they can promo together would probably turn me around on her promos. They’ve just never been her strong point.

It takes some doing to get it and isn't as random as say a brain aneurysm. Could have been diet over time, if Kenny had been on the gas for an extended period of time, definitely wasn't for his lack of working out, age plays a factor.

I like the ones she wears that are just crazy colors like the pink one she wore this week. I always thought the ones with patterns like leopard print or writing CEO in the back looks kinda ugly.

CMLL streams its Tuesday and Friday night shows on its YouTube channel for paying members, but you must be on the Fan Leyendas (highest/35 USD) tier to watch Homenaje a Dos Leyendas live. The two cheaper tiers get the show only as a VOD on a nine-day delay.

Okada got a title in two weeks.

Okada was also slotted directly into a faction and had been wrestling matches on AEW shows since 2022. Ospreay was already a part of the Don Callis family when he joined the company, which he announced several months in advance. Mercedes is starting from a different place. Each of the three episodes of Dynamite that have happened with her in the company have featured her heavily, they're building to a story with her and Willow, and there's a pay per view three weeks away. The idea that she's "spinning her wheels" because they're building up to her first match is weird.

I want to see more Mercedes matches. The clear wait to build anticipation for her first match is a TK special and it's not bad promotion, and they'll probably have her wrestle Skye Blue at the PPV. But I'm impatient!!

My Lovely Horse
Aug 21, 2010

Yeah I just wanna see the apparently super good wrestler wrestle

plus it kinda highlights how the women's division doesn't have the same breathing room as the men's again. When an Okada or a Danielson come in it's easy to have 1 in 4 matches be the Okada or Danielson match for a few weeks but every match Mercedes gets is a slot where no one else wrestles. (Other than her opponent.)

Callis Family needs to turn on Ospreay this week. Ospreay is full of Babyface fire right now, which may be they didn't anticipate?, and him being with Callis but also wrestling Callis guys makes no sense.
