Jungle Boy and Riho are both attractive young people that are good at getting sympathy. Expand She's so small that it's hard to buy her as a legitimate threat. I don't agree with that in her case, but it's not an absurd thing to think. Serious question: is Baker demonstrably better at anything from an in-ring standpoint than Alicia Fox?

PeteF3 Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Riho-Baker ended up being a lot of fun despite some awkward moments. You just don't see much mouth-based psychology in wrestling like we saw at the finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Bologna Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Riho’s amazing. She gets over by having people watch her wrestle. Novel concept. I can’t imagine anyone thinking a bunch of Isaac Yankem shit is going to get Baker over. Weird misfire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to phase her out of a featured position and keep her in dark matches. Expand The one downside of them not doing house shows is that someone who really needs the ring time like Baker isn't going to get it. I think she could be good but she's too green to be a lead character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Dog Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 I said it last week but I would really like to see AEW sign Tim Storm for a run. I think his story would play out really well on a bigger stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey vet that has toiled in the small time finally getting a chance in the big leagues. He has the charisma and that down to earth approach that I think would really resonate.

MoS Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 The crowd did not really care for anything Baker did, but they were hot for Riho and it was a fun match. The right person won; I was scared they were making Baker the champ. The commentary of the show is so refreshing and delightfully different than what we see on WWE shows. They are not perfect by any means but they are east and not grating to listen to throughout the show, and I cannot say that about WWE main roster commentary. Thank fuck I don't have to listen to stupid bickering on commentary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
