Contract and Free Agency Thread

[Silkk]

Bayley is one of them ones, but she has done everything there is to do in WWE. Bayley deserves to get the biggest bag she can from the Khans; whatever her asking price is, she's worth the investment.

Shid you telling me.....I'd drop a stack for just 5 minutes

Almost sounds good, But that shyt it one of the main things that killed ROH and it's a reason why WWE nor AEW sign people to one year contracts. We saw what Jeff Jarrett used to do when that shyt was the norm.

The alternative is you don't sign May and you don't get to revitalize your women division. We have no clue if Toni Storm is able to pull off that angle with another wrestler, even less a young wrestler like Mariah.

Given the end result, I think it was completely worth the gamble

It's bout to be WWAEW in a few years?

Hope so, so this sub forum can explode and run out of shyt to argue about.

But who I'm kidding, somehow heads will be arguing because Ricochet is not on the D show and show be on the C Show.

ITS ALWAYS fukkING RICOCHET THAT SPARKS UP ARGUMENTS WITH HIS GOOFY UNSEASONED ASS

Toni ate Mariah alive in that feud and Mariah had no heat in anything she did without her. They handled Mariah perfectly.

Her entire gimmick is that she's a pretend Toni Storm who wasn't better than the real thing. The last thing Toni said to her in a promo is that she will be mediocre compared to her forever.

When Mariah shows up in another company, they're going to have to develop an entirely new character for her.

What's Mariah's story really - she idolized and imitated Toni, and then Toni beat her up and ran her out of town?

She's got good tools, but her act is done. Also, does the WWE need her? I guess with a new crop of girls being elevated to WWE they need new tent poles on NXT.

Compared to Vaquer who just came in, lit the world on fire with Banks in a PPV match, and then left with everyone dreaming about what she could do in the company this is the exact opposite.

You can blame TK on some part, but at the end of the day once May stepped out of the curtain it was up to her to get over. She didn’t. Some wrestlers can make it work with what they got and get over (MxM, Harley for example), May didn’t do that.

And maybe she just used AEW as a stepping stone like others have before. Her goal may have always been the E.

She can cut a promo, but ring wise she’s average. Let’s see what happens in the E because it can go either way.

Mariah May was over with the audience. When they teased her as a babyface before her turn on Toni, she was getting good reactions. She just unfortunately did not have much chemistry with anyone other than Toni Storm. I was hoping she'd return after the feud with Toni as a babyface to do something different & go after Mercedes but it looks like that ain't happening now.

To me, I think her & Tiffany Stratton would occupy the same space in WWE. It'll be interesting to see how that works out. I bet they team up

Probably turn them into some skanky lesbian tag team that won’t at all be creepily written by a bunch of middle aged white guys trying to vicariously live out a PG version of their porn fantasies they dreamed up when they were 13 years old.

Look what happened after she beat Toni and had a run with the belt: barely any reaction. It was her moment to go out there, have time to get the crowd to react and it was almost quiet as a mouse. She couldn’t get any real heat after taking out one of the biggest baby faces on the roster.

While true, I don’t think they did her many favors as the champ.

They didn’t really seem to have much of anything planned for her other than the Mina program until Toni came back. And she got very little mic time, which is what you really need to get your character work over.

But she’s completely outclassed by Toni Storm in the ring and on the mic.

That’s kind of the big problem with Toni Storm, her character and promo work combined has gotten so elite that no one else in that company - men or women - is anywhere close to being on her level. You could argue she’s actually gotten too good with her character and promos.

Worked with Willow, Thunder, and Anna Jay. The matches with Jay actually surprised me.

like I said before, at some point it’s up to the talent to make shyt work with what they got. She had no idea what to do with what she got. you can blame TK on some part, but at the end of the day she didn’t even fully embrace The Glamour nickname.

The snob/“im prettier than every other girl” character doesn’t work unless she goes all in with it. She should have been acting like a lighter version of King Booker; imagine her acting like a royal family member with a holier than thou routine. shyt, even a diva version of a Hollywood actor would have worked; the opposite of Toni’s actor character.
