    The "babyface" cuts a blah promo on the "heel" to silence, and the heel only needs to say a swear word to get much bigger cheers. The cheap pop is the way to go in AEW

      Heels are babyfaces in AEW. They should just lean into it and make everyone heels. BCC are literally just that, they are heels then heel faces then back again depending on the opponent and the AEW crowd loves them.

    I felt bad for her as well...she had something serious to spell out for people and because she didnt get to it right away or in an elevated presence, she lost the little fans she had on her side after 1 minute in and she still didnt get to the seisure part and by then, it was just off and she was never really able to get it back or have it serve its purpose at all. Regardless of a bad promo, everyone I am sure still wishes the best for her. No one likes a 'poor me' anyways...*cough cough* Mercedes Mone

    I’m not sure why everyone seems to have missed this, but the two women messed up the order of their statements. What was clearly supposed to happen was that Toni Storm was supposed to say “I don’t give a shit“ and then Serena was supposed to reply. “well, you better start giving a shit.” They screwed it up and said it in the wrong order! Lol!

    This is one of the few AEW moments I've caught recently. I, too, have always liked Serena. The promo worked for me. I'm interested that Serena is featured on the show in the first place. She imparted the reasons for her absence and return. Her perhaps-nervous interaction with the audience gave her real person authenticity befitting of a babyface on the cusp of a perilous crusade. It's not necessary for every promo to be Godzilla faultlessly articulated.
    If she did want coaching on the mic, I'd nominate Christian as the do-right man.

Also, Mariah and Mia will wind up turning in her within the next few weeks and that will be a 2 to 3 week long feud as well ---See Swerve Storyarc

Solid promos is done by both the women and the men. They just need a bigger network to get higher viewership. Because if they was on a bigger network than AXS...

      TNA has 3 issues. 1) Their lolTNA moments in the past from which they can't seemingly recover 2) If they recover and gain momentum they do a lolTNA 3) It's mid. Their presentation feels so mid and the small crowds don't help either.
      With that being said I like watching TNA. Nothing there annoys me or actually angers me. They have people on the roster that I like watching and care about. Their storylines do make sense. Their are sometimes barebone and often simple but it doesn't have to be Shakespear, it's wrestling. I rather take mid TNA than wtfAEW any time.

      I agree with that sentiment. Most of the venues they book are small to mid size. I know before Scott D'amore was let go..he said the goal going forward was to start booking bigger venues. But for where aew is right now, I like TNA little better. Heck..TNA from circa 05-2010 blows away aew. To me right now..aew is like wcw circa 91-94 when they were struggling to get over and was on the verge of potentially closing up. They definitely are not the wcw from 95-98.
