      Mercedes can't work without writers. Hikaru and Willow cut their teeth on the indies so they were able to carry those matches. Saraya Luckily has been escaping that vortex. I think she's finally finding her feet again. IMO. Kamille is STUNNING! Look up her matches in NWA. Lets hope Jimmy Jacobs leaving will be an improvement!

    Honestly, her segments on AEW always makes me cringe and I have to tune out. You can tell she is "playing a character" and it comes off very fake. You can also tell that beyond her character, she probably thinks she's a top star in the business and maybe she had that illusion in WWE but in AEW, she's not a draw and I don't think there is much interest in her anymore past her honeymoon debut period.

    People see straight through her. The AEW crowd senses that she’s there because of the money and her heart has never been in AEW. She’s a forever WWE girl that had her relationship with Vince McMahon sour, NOT Hunter or WWE. Big difference. This actually happened to guys like Swerve, Adam Cole and Keith Lee. Keith Lee didn’t want it bad enough to be a star. Swerve took the ball and became a star, Adam is still up in the air. He’s been way too injured to call a career in AEW so far.

    Yes, Mercedes has been a bust. Especially as a babyface. Her heel character had potential but everything sounds so cringy & scripted. Her in-ring work has always been overrated & needs to be booked as a cowardly heel because her just beating someone’s ass isn’t believable at all. Since WWE is actually run as a business with the goal to profit, they were not ever gonna match AEWs offer in pay OR push. So Mercedes absolutely made the right choice.. TK not so much, as usual

The kids, not the hardcore Marks..........WWE listens to all ages of their fans for input/interest while AEW focus on the sickos opinion only.....The people that are not sickos are the minority and they don;t have a voice because Hardcore sickos will call you out and say if you don't like our hardcore blood, dangerous spot show, then go watch PG WWE.

    The only thing that's a bust about Mercedes Mone is her CEO gimmick. Just have her be a heel without all the noise. I don't know why anybody sitting at home on their couch cares how much any wrestler gets paid. If AEW couldn't afford it then it wouldn't have offered it. Plus, her salary raises the pay floor for every other wrestler on the roster and gives them a higher target to aim for when it's time for them to renegotiate.

    Whoever thinks Mercedes is a bust isn't a pro wrestling fan. She was injured when she made her first appearance back in March. She is still one of the best pro wrestlers out there. The fans just call her "cringe" because of her entrance theme and catch phrase. You can't look at her that way. We have to look at her performance in-ring. A majority of the "haters" are upset WWE fans that she decided to sign with AEW instead of their precious WWE. She has elevated the women's division as a whole and AEW has really started to focus on women's storylines. As an example, look at the feuds of Thunder/Deonna on Collision, Stat/WIllow, Mariah/Toni just to name a few. AEW never focused on women's pro wrestling before Mercedes arrived. We would get the token 4 min match every Dynamite. Now we have complex storylines and the best feuds in all of pro wrestling.

Tiger sent Tommy a video message urging The Dynamite Kid to 'Awaken'. Bossman beat Freddy Krueger AND Leatherface in tag-team action. The match took place in Japan, in the abandoned Takamoto Prison and was billed as a 'Halloween Prison of Horrors' match. Vic Grimes was 'Da Baldie'. Syxx baba'd in Tammy Sytch's hold-all bag🧐 The fanny pack was the target, but he settled for the hold-all. Sunny had turned Shauns advances down, so X-Pac got his revenge. On the flip side, Skinner would baba in Jerry Lawlers crown backstage at Royal Rumble 93 as a rib. Some say Bret and Anvil sabotaged the ring ropes in their title change bout against The Rockers. Shawn and Marty got to Vince but nothing could be proven🧐. Ted Dibiase. Ted. Six-foot one. Two hundred and sixty pounds. Omaha. Nebraska. Yes sir. Yes indeed. Vader and Sid were 'Da Masters of the Powerbomb'. Bray Wyatt's dad was the captain of a shrimp boat and could be seen shrimping up and down the bayou. Macho shanked Flair at 'Cade 95. Sonny Onoo was a black belt in Taekwondo and would face, AND BEAT Chuck Norris in martial arts exhibitions. Yes sir. Scotty Hall was 'Da Bad Guy'. Hulk couldn't let his ego go, but not through want of trying. Jo. Chyna necked Vince to win a battle royal on Raw. Sting got to Bischoff about the WCW push of one Raven. Steve didn't 'get' the Raven character. Scotty got hot and hopped back to ECW to cool off. He even tried to poach Page Falkinburg for Heyman. Cactus feuded with Sabu in Philly. The Philly street fight was their classic. Shawn didn't take to Foley at first. Mick overheard an HBK rant about him and ran out of the building. Rowdy Roddy was 'Da Pipes'. LOD vs The Powers was the classic. Lex got to Brody in the cage in the humidity of Florida. Tempers flared and THAT'S why Bruiser no sold, and THAT'S why Pfohl ran away. Fonzie confirmed it in a shoot. Tap 'Bill Alfonso shoot' and find what you seek🧐. Brutus Beefcake was 'Da Beefer'. Jimmy Del Rey worked as a stripper to pay for wrestling lessons. Anvil got to Virgil about doing the KKK gimmick on an independent. Virgil agreed to it, but it was still a controversy. HHH would tag jobbers for real if they wouldn't comply. Percy wrote all of Undertaker's original promos. Pringle worked as a mortician and 'got' the character. Richard Rood was 'Da Ravishing One'. Raven wrote the infamous Chris Benoit promo at Starrcade 97. Chris got to Scotty backstage and asked him to write him a decent promo. Scotty inked a classic and couldn't wait to hear it before a live crowd. Chris forgot it when it came time, causing heat between the two men🧐. In Canada, Jacques Rougeau was king. He even outdrew and beat Hogan clean for the title, then danced around to Real American! The Beverleys spiked some jobber with the Shaker Heights Spike finisher. The Steiners got them back by stiffing them at the Rumble. Vince gave Hawk a dressing down after he ruined a Vader promo on heat. Tap 'Vader promo Hawk'. Hillbilly Jim was a real hillbilly. Lawler took his theatrics to a whole new level in Memphis. Terry Gene Bollea was 'Da Real American'. Harry Fujiwara was an accomplished sushi chef and would cook for the BSK. Sometimes he'd spike Rodney's food with laxatives. Double J got to Chuck about taking the Sweet Chin Music at SSeries94. The two men practiced the spot for hours and even danced around to With My Baby Tonight. Vince prepared plans for a terrorist stable which would include Mahal and Ali. When Vince got a good idea he'd dance around to Stand Back in his office. It was only nixed when Linda convinced him it was poor taste. Bam Bam's favorite match was with Bret on a house show. Mark Callaway was 'Da Phenom'. The Steiners were shooters. Irwin Shyster hated wrestling in a suit and braces. Sonny Onoo would 'crack, snapple AND pop' his opponent's legs.🧐 Candido shot on Horowitz when Barry used Chris's finishing move without calling it. Perry. Perry Saturn got hot and shot on a jobber. Vince got hot and gifted him the moppy gimmick. When Undertaker heard he was beating Hogan, clean for the title, he and Percy would dance around to Koko B Wares theme. Koke overheard and got to Vince. Mark and Percy met with Vince, and the pair were forced to explain and apologize to Koke, ALMOST nixing the title change.

    I think she’ll do great once in good condition again and a solid story is in place (just like anyone else would need). I do believe she got slotted into a high position way too early, as a fan I would’ve loved to see her run through the roster and become champ that way, instead of her 2nd match being a champion already.

    Aew is Tony Khans video game hobby, not a business. So knowing that, the evaluation is completely different from Wwe, or even Tna. Mercedes is light years ahead on Aew because she's not injured, wrestles joshis regardless of skill, and doesn't miss matches like Britt.

  • @datbul
    @datbul 3 дня назад

    Not only is she a bust (so far) but she's a good reminder that, sometimes, it's really as much about the environment a performer is in as much as the performer herself. Mercedes simply doesn't shine in AEW the way she does in WWE. You got the sense she thought she was hot shit when she left WWE- and she was! But a lot of it had to do with the way WWE made her look like a star (and hid her weaknesses). She'll probably return to WWE one day and pretend like AEW never happened. Hopefully she'll learn her lesson and be a little more humble/aware that it's not solely about her.

Maybe she is a disappointment because she has not delivered more ratings, but she is not a bust.

Miro has done next to nothing since 2021.
