Who the does Britt think she is, honestly? All you hear is how awful and uncooperative she is backstage. Considering honda peso has been a legit flop I'd sandbag too. Baker is the star in that fued. You go from being the biggest deal and putting on the best matches to working with someone who's a mark for themself, getting paid more than you, tanking the rating in her segments, and creative controlling herself into titles. How come it wasn't an issue when hbk sandbagged the out of Hogan, but it is for good old Nissan dinero Those are some of the corniest names to try and put someone down, you’re trying way too hard to be a hater lol. I’m not even that big on Mercedes but to say Britt Baker is a bigger star and better in the ring is one of the most ludicrous things I’ve ever read.

What's she the CEO of. Not being able to talk. Being clumsy in the ring.

Woah now let's not go overboard when talking about Britt Baker lol Britt is like maybe fifteenth in that division on actual match quality. Like she's better in ring than Saraya and the other obvious ones, but easily the worst of the other main tv time getting women. Y'all sure he just wasn't talking about Jamie and Saraya? Lol 😁

Britt may be 15th in match quality but she's a better promo and character than 12 of the others and that's why people still care about her in some form or fashion.
Pretty obvious at this point that match quality is a sliver of the pie.

Aew has been about match quality above all else since it's inception really. That's kind of the heart and soul of the company, killer matches.

If they're putting on killer matches then the only thing they're really killing is US attendance and tv ratings. Killer matches like watching someone like Kyle O'Reilly who I've been told was misused by WWE just stand there and hug three other guys while someone named Hologram does a flip onto them. Camera caught the whole thing Man I'm down with good matches and bangers but wrestling is more than that and I'm tired of being told(not by you) that I'm some troll because I don't salivate from the mouth because "workrate" Sorry. Also venting because "friends" take wrestling so personal they'll drop you over some things you say about a dude in a leotard

Like what you like! This is all subjective. Personally the only thing that ever bugs me is people trying to make someone feel stupid for enjoying something.
I love most types of wrestling. I know Lucha libre can be very "stand and wait to catch the guy" but I love the athleticism of it, and it very much feels like I'm watching a combat ballet and that's dope. Japanese strong style can be very "you hit me I hit you" but I love the fighting spirit of it. American wrestling can be very played out "you bad me good you cheat I don't until the crowd wants me to" but I love the drama it builds. Indie style wrestling can be crazy spot heavy but I love the crazy spots and the way you can build a story through them. All I really value in wrestling conversation personally is respect that there is no one way to do this and there's nothing anyone is "incorrect" for enjoying.

^^ this the the mindset I have, or at least thought. I get painted as an E drone who hates anything that's not WWE and that's the furtherst thing from the truth. My biggest bone of contention with a certain group of people is tunnel vision they have and either the inability or outright refusal to see that I do have an open mind.
For example, I had some negative feedback on some recent WWE and AEW stuff. Not all of it was negative for either company yet all they focused on was what I said negatively about AEW. It's frustrating. It makes it nearly impossible to have a conversation where I can see their side and vice versa. It's just an immediate "oh, you hate AEW!"
If I hated AEW why would I watch? Why would I know what's going on? Why would I buy a PPV or figures? It's because I don't hate AEW. I like many things about the company and many wrestlers. I don't like everyone and everything and I'm the same way about WWE. All in all I just feel like too many people focus on the negative opinions and take it personal. I never thought I'd be at a point to lose what I thought were good friends over them going off on me because I have a different opinion as them.
But thanks for your replies, switchbladera. You've always had a good approach and a level head about this topic and I wish more were like that
