NintendoLogic Posted October 17, 2019 Report Posted October 17, 2019 2 minutes ago, Mad Dog said: I don't get Cornette's hate of Riho. Jungle Boy and Riho are both attractive young people that are good at getting sympathy. 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? Quote
PeteF3 Posted October 17, 2019 Report 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
Ricky Jackson Posted October 17, 2019 Report Posted October 17, 2019 Riho's awesome. Loved that match Quote
William Bologna Posted October 17, 2019 Report 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

They need to phase her out of a featured position and keep her in dark matches. 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.

I would say I feel her execution is slightly better but Fox has more charisma and has an actual character. Quote
C.S. Posted October 17, 2019 Report Posted October 17, 2019 Even though everyone loves dentists, I do think Dr. Britt Baker, M.M.D. should be a heel act. Quote
Mad Dog Posted October 17, 2019 Report 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
Mad Dog Posted October 17, 2019 Report Posted October 17, 2019 I'm wondering if we're stuck with Baker in the current spot because Rae left? Quote

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. Quote
MoS Posted October 17, 2019 Report 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

Mad Dog Posted October 17, 2019 Report Posted October 17, 2019 Fenix is like a ballerina, except he's kicking people in the face. Quote
Mad Dog Posted October 17, 2019 Report Posted October 17, 2019 I'm not a Stunt fan but Lucha Bros using him like a human lawn dart is entertaining. Quote
sek69 Posted October 17, 2019 Report Posted October 17, 2019 Marko's great in that Spike Dudley "little dude who gets thrown around" role. Quote

Choke people out with floss. It's really sad that I'm fantasy booking heel dentist spots but there's lots of good shit there! Quote
FMKK Posted October 17, 2019 Author Report Posted October 17, 2019 Luchasaurus is going to get over huge if his return from injury is a save during a heel beatdown on Marko. Quote
Mad Dog Posted October 17, 2019 Report Posted October 17, 2019 Commercials with Marko just getting murdered in a little box to the side was absolutely tremendous. Quote
Log Posted October 17, 2019 Report Posted October 17, 2019 Ha! Excalibur with the “He pulled the hair up, but not out!” call. Was not expecting a I Think You Should Leave reference on this show. Here’s part of the sketch it’s from: Quote
Mad Dog Posted October 17, 2019 Report Posted October 17, 2019 AEW's attention to detail is just great. Moxley only being 1-0 is such a little thing but those are the things that you notice. Quote
MoS Posted October 17, 2019 Report Posted October 17, 2019 Jim Cornette has opinions on this match as well - Quote
