Melo will cook his ass on the Mic. Kenny has a great work rate but his promos are straight garbage
If you think Kenny is a garbage promo then you haven't been paying attention. Dude can cut promos in both English and Japanese. He's very solid on the mic. He's just not allowed to show it often in AEW because at the end of the day what's going to be remembered years from now some promo or a great match. Years from now they'll still be talking about the Omega/Okada series and Omega/Ospreay series. Will anything Melo has done be remembered in the same light? NOPE!
Why not both?
Macho Man's "Cream rises to the top" promo is remembered very fondly, so is his match against Steamboat at WMIII.
Dusty Rhodes "Hard Times" promo is remembered very fondly, so are his battles with Flair/the Horsemen.
Ric Flair promos and his battles with Steamboat, Macho, Sting, etc...
Austin's "King of the Ring/3:16" promo and his matches with Hitman, Rock, etc...
Promos are a part of wrestling and if you're only going to focus on "great matches" you're not going to become memorable.
Promos are indeed apart of wrestling as they can help sell a match, but they're not remembered in the same way great matches are. They're just not. Sure, someone can cut one memorable promo out of a 1000 but it's the matches that really live on. I couldn't tell you one memorable promo that was told in the build to the Mankind/Undertaker "Hell In A Cell" match but everyone remembers that match vividly. Can you have both great promos and matches? Sure, but it's not a requirement to be memorable in the wrestling business. Hell, I would say it's not a requirement to be memorable in the WWE. If Eddie Guerrero, Chris Beniot, and Bryan Danielson can be successful in WWE I know Omega could. Piece of cake.
None of this should be a surprise to anyone following the AEW Women's Division. It's absolutely horrible. I do believe TK does care about women's wrestling in general and wants it to succeed, he just doesn't know how to book it. All he needs to do is look at what Stardom is doing and emulate it. It's not rocket science. Making Shida the champ is a start. Now build on that by giving her opponents who can work. Where the hell is Serena Deeb? KAIRI is not full time in Stardom. Bring her in and have her work a feud with Shida. Get Willow back on Dynamite and have her build to a match with Kris Statlander. Stop spotlighting Britt Baker, Ruby Soho, Saraya and other women who can't work. Every match on Dynamite that doesn't involve Shida or Willow is the drizzling shits. Another part of the problem is Britt Baker has too much power in the locker room. They need a real leader in that locker room.

Good to see. A lot of these women just need fundamental training. In the perfect world ALL women should be Stardom and New Japan trained.
If true that would be a fantastic match!
I've always felt TK was never interested in women's wrestling. He just had a division because he felt like he had to and Omega wanted to bring joshi wrestling to the States. He grew up on ECW and ROH wrestling. Two promotions that didn't necessarily have the most positive image of women wrestlers.
That's a good point!
Yeah. I agree, it does come off as if women's wrestling was forced on him by others and he went along with it to be an "inclusive" company early on.
I've always been vocal of his booking of the women's division in AEW but the way he treated Big Swole last year was telling.
Yeah, He should have never went back and forth with Big Swole and kept his mouth shut on that issue!!..With all that backlash he got from it ..I believe that was one of the reason why he put that belt on Jade Cargill instead of Ruby Soho at that time so he can end that issue!!..
But TK don't care about the Women's Division like that!!..
Yeah, I feel what you're sayin on this!!
I'm glad he opened his mouth. Not counting Cargill (though her look and the Swole controversy may have influenced her push), TK's treatment of Black wrestlers has been questionable.Yeah, He should have never went back and forth with Big Swole and kept his mouth shut on that issue!!..With all that backlash he got from it ..I believe that was one of the reason why he put that belt on Jade Cargill instead of Ruby Soho at that time so he can end that issue!!..

I wouldn't put it past him to treat Black women wrestlers any better, especially when he's "friends" with the white women wrestlers who are in his ear.
Damn!
MJF has weighed in on the AEW women's drama.
Yeah, I hear you ..I mean by shutting his mouth is not going public and not saying what he said to Big Swole( that was fucked up what he said
)..He should be more professional and on a business minded way to handle that issue!!...I rolled with AEW and watched the show but some of the things that TK does with the show have me questioning him sometimes!!..
I'm still upset that they took the TNT Title off Powerhouse Hobbs so quickly!!..
Still, He don't give a fuck about the Women's Division at AEW!!...
Saraya, Ruby Soho, Madison Rayne, etc all weighs in!

You mean SHE. She's apart of the women's division so why wouldn't she weigh in. Trans jokes aren't cool dude. You're better than that.
