    The only NJPW match I've ever seen of Okada was the Danielson match at Wrestle Kingdom. Barely know his history but his current presentation in AEW is working for me

    I've always known Okada was godly good. But I only know him as a babyface. I've never seen his Heel NJPW work. But my god this heel Okada is making want to see more because he's doing it so well! It's giving Corporate Okada feelings and that's something that AEW can really use as a storyline throughout the company booking.

    With AEW I will believe it when I see it cause Mercedes basically said the same things Saraya said in her first promo about change and a revolution and how did that go...

    • @richborn6700

      At least Mercedes is still an active talent. Saraya was basically brought in as a manager with like three matches. I knew her arrival wouldn't herald anything of substance

    I don't get this hype for Mercedes. Never been blown away by anything she's ever done.
    If she's as great as everyone says, lets see how much she can drag out of a match with the other female wrestlers once she's got through Baker, Deonna, Hayter and Storm...

    I’m a diehard wrestling fan & even though I’m more of a WWE guy , I love what AEW is doing & I hope they continue to thrive however if they fumble all these new signings as of late, it’ll be more of a disappointing reminder that AEWs biggest rival is itself bc of the constant self sabotage.

    I get why some people are hesitant to trust that this time will be different but I do think some of it is stubbornness. AEW has legitimately gotten better in recent months with their women’s booking. Multiple stories, more matches, higher prominence etc etc. and I feel like people just… don’t admit that. Plus, Mercedes is just incomparable to anyone else they’ve signed in the women’s division. She’s a bigger name, a bigger star, a bigger draw, and (more significantly) a bigger financial outlay than anyone else they’ve signed for the division. Obviously that could be different if they booked it better but we’ve missed that moment, we’re in the post Mercedes era now. From a business perspective, they HAVE to push the women’s division to make their investment in Mercedes worth it from a purely monetary perspective. I have hope, both from optimism and business cynicism.

  • @TheSpektrum1989

    I would think the plan is Willow gets her shot at Julia, and then maybe Mercedes gets her shot after. it'd be pretty cool if Willow won the title and then she and Mercedes revisited their NJPW Strong Women's title match.

    I feel like a section of the IWC REALLY want all this change , evolution, and drastic improvement in AEW from this or that. Honestly, tho it really feels like you guys are trying to convince yourselves as much as us, the audience. Personally, i have no ill will towards AEW, but you guys dig, extrapolate, and many times completely fabricate stories and motivations, and dig real deep to find some depth. Where most of the time there is none. I appreciate you want to be excited, and you really WANT AEW to be something I don't think in its current form it can be. I think the fanbase has become very insulated, and TK has allowed himself to follow suit. And now they have a toxic positivity culture where nothing is bad, so nothing can improve and criticism is almost always rejected as "hate" "bad faith" or "dishonest." This feels like the 100th "big announcement" and "big debut" that's going to fix everything, but it's all icing and esthetic because, ultimately, the vision is the same.

    • @dominicwebb7415
      @dominicwebb7415 3 місяці тому +3

      There are at least 2 people in this comment section that need to look up the definition of irony and compare that with the definition of an opinion. I understand what you're trying to do and say, but what I said would need to be "ironic" first. Smug condescension only works when you know what words mean.
