it annoys me because their women's roster just isn't as good. why do people want more crap just for the sake of it being women? just goofy pandering
I guess the theory is that they 'aren't that bad, they just need snaps' for lack of a better term.
The thing is... running scrimmages wed/fri/sat against sorry teams ain't gonna make you a good team, even if you become the big fish of the division.
The division doesn't have a good 3-4 to build around that can raise the rest of the division around and with them. It's why the 4HW era worked in NXT/WWE, or why the Smackdown Six is still talked about.
Who is supposed to be doing the ring/character work to get these women leveled up? At the moment they have Toni Storm - mid worker but running a great gimmick, but a gimmick that doesn't mesh well with other characters. Baker has regressed in-ring and in-character. Saraya ain't it at all. Hayter can't stop getting hurt. Shida has so much negative charisma on-screen that it detracts from her supposedly good in-ring work.
They needed Jade to stay and grow, and boy do they need Mercedes something terrible. TBH they should bring Trinity in on a deal with Impact and let those two run a redux of Team BAD with Willow thrown in there and maybe Skye Blue to play the Owen Hart in NOD role. Having a dominant faction that the pasty girls need to band together to overcome was a good plan. It was terrible execution thinking the Outcasts were the ones to cast for that. None of them have the right bytchy energy to make it compelling.
