I dunno, it was booked well earlier this year, and fell off about august time for me. Like we have had some great matches, but the general booking direction has been aimless. I just cant fathom why they dont think more time would = more views. So many i know what to see more.
Ha, yeah its mad. I was chatting to @sir-samuel.bsky.social about the Grand Slam booking being so thrown together last min and it reminding me of All In 2023, but had to double check that it was actually 2023... 😂
I believe this is genuinely down to channel execs.
Time is an issue across the board and we still have promotions running 1 women's match on a big card. We've come a long way but there's hills to climb still
Probably is. Id love to see whatever they are basing this on though as whilst i know its a small sample, most of my friends fav bits of of the entire roster in the last 12 months have been around Toni/Mariah and Mercedes stuff.
That ties in with the theory that its WBD really too. Like with ROH he can do whatever he wants (for now ). Some under the radar bangers from women on ROH over the last few years.
It is a shame because they have enough quality to put on a couple decent matches each show. Sadly I worry that if they can’t change it for Mercedes who will change it for?! One of greatest of all time and a massive crossover star too.
This is more across the board thing.
Multiple promotions not just one particular.
And a regular reminder I like to share
(I've not seen this week's Dynamite or anything yet )
They had a strong run at one point and it fell off but picked up on ROH, which thankfully continued (on roh) wwe historically haven't been great either, nxt however doesn't have as much of an issue.
We have, however, come a long way since bra and panty matches, thankfully
Both NXT and TNA do a great job in featuring their women's divisions. The women have been carrying NXT for a very long time now. Otherwise, you are absolutely right. One match in a two-three-hour show is not good. They can all do better than that.
This is something I discuss often, nxt manage it, last week they had 3 women's matches, they open the shows with women including ple shows. ROH manage it too ( can't speak on tna as I don't watch) so wheres the disconnect when both aew and wwe manage it via other shows.
Having worked with execs ( not on wrestling shows mind) I know how weird specific channels can be, one channel can be game for one thing and the other not so much. Depends on what they view as their core audience for their channel, which doesn't always coincide with what audience a specific show has

I'm interested in whatever the women are doing, I just want them to do it more. Haha!
Crazy ain't it 😂 I'm still thinking it's 2024 as well.
That was THE place where a lot of the women’s arcs were expanded on.
Quite often there is 2 matches on there for them.
But there still needs to be more substance involved.

And Jamie v Juila Hart
