Bayley + a ton of sugar = Dakota KaiMaaaan Bayley better watch herself, Dakota Kai finna steal her spot
Bayley + 10 year crack/meth binge = Mercedes Martínez
Bianca got alot of praise online. Ayesha and Renee were really bland though, nothing special. Who else was in there?
The match with Piper Niven shouldve been called by Al Bundy 
This first round was just ok. A few awesome spots here and there but a lot of these women are green....maybe it's just nerves
I'm sure it'll get better

I've only watched the 1st 2 eps, but I'm a little surprised by some of the results, although I don't really know much about most of the women. They interviewed Marti Belle on that bracketology show only to have her lose in the 1st round. Same with Sarah Logan, I don't think she was interviewed but didn't she wrestle in Brooklyn for the NXT episode that came on last week?

Ancillary Character
A small example is people having a problem with Naomi using her booty as a weapon, but it's all good for Asuka and Toni Storm. In majority non-black wrestling discussions of course.
And I remember Ayesha having a match or two in Stardom years ago under a different name. She looked to be improved but I didn't get a good enough feel for her.

I was speaking more generally as opposed to just the tournament. I agree that the other Black girls beside Mia Yim (who I would never have pegged as half Black lol) weren't anything special. Ayesha might have the worst look of any other the competitors; I get the cat thing, but there's be a better way to do it. Marti Belle was straight up dreadful.
I'm happy Bianca is getting such a positive response now from the general wrestling community, but if Naomi and Sasha have shown me anything, it's that people will get real
once she gets to main and starts being pushed over the blonde white girls. Not that it matters, of course. I'll still support, and once you've been around long enough, it becomes easier to separate genuine criticism from people just mad that women of color are succeeding.
The Naomi thing was exactly what I was thinking about. Or all the disengenious asshats who wonder every week why is she getting pushed when she gets some of the best reactions on Smackdown.
Pleasantly surprised with the amount of ass and quality wrestling in this. Will watch the rest.
where they kinda messed up imo is not addressing was the EST meant on Bianca's attire. Thats something that should've been mentioned on commentary
