I mean...yeah. AEW's Women's Division is really fucking bad. Outside of Riho, they have no stars right now. I guess Hikaru Shida is on her way over, but you can't really make a division centered around two people without it harming the image of the product.
They need some big names, but it ain't happening any time soon. WWE has a lot of the big names on lockdown.
I mean, half of the womens roster in WWE could be the top girl in AEW right now, it is that bad. FFS Riho is champion and the other 2 most pushed women are Nyla Rose and Britt Baker :heston
Becky would injure herself trying to whoop anything. She's that unathletic and uncoordinated which makes her so obnoxious, her character talks a big game but is really awful when it comes time to walk the talk.
Now if she had an ounce of Io Shirai or Asuka's talent in ring, maybe she could pull her character off without looking like a complete jackass.
Imagine Conor Mcgregor talking shit to his opponents then fighting at 1/4 speed and falling over himself in the octagon. That's what Becky Lynch is to those who don't have their heads in the sand or up her ass.
Stone Cold wasnt the best atlethe either. The style of Io does not fit becky at all and Conor is a bad example in 2019. Dude has lost 3 of his last 4 fights and smacks old men in bars due to it
Asuka, Io, Bayley, Sasha, Becky, Charolette, Bel Air, LaRae, Shayna, Ripley... MOST of the interesting women worth paying attention to in wrestling are in WWE.
Becky 2 Star has really bought into her own hype, hasn't she? Britt Baker can wrestle circles around Becky and the rest of the division might not be so hot yet but give them 6 years to gel with each other like she's had with the 4HW and I bet they'll churn out better work since they appear to have 10x the athletic ability Becky does, meanwhile we'll still be waiting for Becky to have a good match with any non 4HW.
When will these two cringy dorks cringy lynch and her wife death rollins learn to shut up? A Lion doesn't say he can chew and spit out a bunch of sheep. He just does it if he wants to.
I'd say The Fiend is, or at least was more over than Becky before Mr Becky did what he does best and geeked him out.
And there's not much bragging rights in being better than AEW's Womens Wrestlers. It'd be like The Rock bragging about being more charismatic than Seth Rollins. Its not even a contest because Seth (and the AEW Womens division) is trash.
Pretty sure Riho is better than all of the WWE female wrestlers (aside from maybe Asuka or Kaire). Shida and Baker are phenomenal talents too. I do agree that AEW needs to further build their female roster as it's not judicious to rely on just 3 performers.
It's amazing how little you have to achieve on top to be considered successful today :lol
FYI I don't consider anyone today to be successful, Brock was successful but he has become a non factor.
If you define success by legacy, you can argue it. The likes of AJ, Bryan, Seth, Io, Asuka etc. will pave the way for future generations and that's about it. You can't argue for any of them for being successful on top in this era.
This is basically the lost/void generation which wont be remembered and will be forgotten because of the lack of stars.
The only thing which will remain is the next stage of the evolutionary chain from this generation of wrestlers for high flyers, hybrids, technical wrestlers etc.
Or how little talent at both talking and wrestling you need to possess :lol
It's as if Santino Marella was booked to be WWE champion in 2008 and everybody preferred that goof over CM Punk or Chris Jericho, and he was assumedly the "top star" :lol
IMO Okada, Tanahashi, Omega etc. have stronger legacies in terms of being stars and drawing than the top guys in WWE.
They've been in companies where the card is significant for ticket sales.
You can directly attribute and highlight figures to them whereas in the WWE, the brand is the draw and the top "stars" are not big enough to tune in for hence the declining ratings. If you were to take any of their top FT stars off a show, there would be little to no difference.
CM Karen Punk: Stop talking about other companies!!!, wheres the manager!!!
