Reel her in Mercedes and really make em mad

 

[Kang Deezy]

Stinkos still pretending Mercedes isn't clicking when she was receiving standing ovations at the PPV based on her workrate alone

I read she was sick for both the Hazuki and Stat matches and still put on classics

She’s not clicking, at all without the WWE machine behind her. Her matches have been mostly good, but the crowd is really not responding to her at all, and her promos are cringe.

She's not clicking, yet as a heel, she received a standing ovation several times at 'World's End' for her in-ring work. Nice try.

She has mostly delivered in-ring, no doubt.

But the character, the promo work, and the presentation has been pretty bad.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Presentation is bad? She's the only women's wrestler I see wearing designer gear and outfits. She makes everyone (on both rosters) look like they are coming out in indy gear.

But hey whatever it's your opinion, obviously I disagree with that

I can’t really speak on her WWE stuff. Besides her NXT 4 Horsewomen run, the only main roster Sasha Banks match I’ve seen was vs Bianca Belair at WM. All I know is her E pushes/title reigns were supposedly cut short for the likes of Chuck Flair, Rhonda Rousey, and Becky Lynch

That being said, her AEW debut was underwhelming and her promos I’ve seen are really bad. Trash theme, honestly thought she would’ve changed it after Luigi Mangione deleted that CEO I guess you’re right about the WWE machine cause I didn’t notice anything cringy during her NXT run.

I missed some AEW PPVs and didn’t watch her JP stuff. So the only matches I’ve seen were:

- vs Stephanie Vaquer: MOTN for me. Both women killed it Wish they could run it back, maybe at another Forbidden Door, if Tony Khan and TKO get on the same page. TK(O)

- vs Britt Baker: WOAT match that night. This was all on Britt IMO. I was late to AEW and the IWC had me thinking Britt was a god tier talent… she’s NOT you can’t carry shyt so anyone blaming Mercedes for this clusterfukk is wrong. I remember Britt had a cage match vs Thunder Rosa that was so bad it had me questioning if TR was trash in the ring never seen a good BB match.

Heard Mercedes’ matches with Willow and Stat were dope. Seen clips of the latter and it looked like a banger. I think it’s fair to criticize her presentation/mic skills, but her mat skills are still there.

Well, Wrestle Dynasty bombed as expected (16k paid). I truly hope TK puts more effort in the Australian show. I know they scaled down to an arena instead of big a stadium, should've done the same for WD, they could've sold out Sumo Hall for sure and maybe even Budokan.

Night 2 for WK weekend has always done worse, but how is it TK’s fault for not promoting a Japanese soil event where AEW isn’t hosting it? None of us were gonna buy tickets and fly out.

Forbidden Door is his copromoted event to promote and he treats it like a big deal. But I do agree about AGS. It’s one month away and there wasn’t any setup on FFTF.

AEW announced this event, they did not need to book it, specially this weekend and at the Dome. And as was discussed 3 months ago, he could've done a lot more than what he ended up doing. He basically put Omega there to save the show by himself. Kenny was step 1 out of many, not the only one
