Ganso Bomb posted:How is it that Renee is able to just give her notice and leave? I assume there's some difference in the type of contract she has versus a wrestler's contract? Otherwise, FTR would've just given their notice and left instead of trying to get released forever. correct. she is/was an employee, not an independent contractor. same reason why mox was mooching off of her great health insurance and benefits lol

yea ok posted:correct. she is/was an employee, not an independent contractor. same reason why mox was mooching off of her great health insurance and benefits lol Ahh that makes sense. Mox getting health insurance coverage from them after leaving is maybe my favorite wrinkle in any story of anyone leaving this company.

Benne posted:Riho drew ratings and Shida isn't, in case that's the assumption you're making I'm not really making any assumption on that and like I don't know how to compare those ratings when there's so many other variables. I for one find quarter rating analysis to be really dumb. I'm just pointing out that they have a healthy, talented, charismatic, and present champ and like nothing's really changed in how they book her or the division. But the Baker stuff shows you CAN build up someone even with limitations. For whatever reason AEW isn't doing that and doesn't generally do it with the women. I don't think its really gonna change until that does. I don't think WWE does much better, but they just have more of it.

Give Shida something to work with and she'll do fine, but there just isn't anybody for her to wrestle right now. I think her murdering jobbers is good TV, but it keeps dying a death in the ratings.

Who the gently caress wants to speak with Braun Strowman he's $150 on cameo. apparently he's made over 100k doing the drat things

Maria Kanellis getting WWE to pay for her to go to college while she was working pretty much everywhere (ROH, New Japan, Impact) but WWE is still my favourite.

Renee probably still has a contract even though she’s an employee. Most likely she’s got a deal coming up and she just told them she’s not renewing

Riho does have a legitimate star quality that as of yet hasn't been revealed in Shida but in all fairness to Shida, she's spent pretty much all of her quest to the top, her win and her title reign in the covid era.

I think her murdering jobbers is good TV, but it keeps dying a death in the ratings. honestly the AEW women's division took a hit already with Kylie leaving and took more hits with Riho/Yuka going back to Japan for now, Bea probably done, and Kris getting injured right at she was white hot. Thankfully they saw the potential in people like Big Swole and had the foresight to hire people like Anna Jay, Abadon, and (I think?) Diamente to help stop the bleeding.

I'm not saying Shida's bad by any stretch but right now she feels more like the division workhorse than the star. And that's still a really good spot to be in, I just don't feel like she's got the charisma to carry the division. Not in the way that Riho (and Nyla too tbf) does.

I just think Shida could have been that compete package if crowds were still a thing partly because she's a workhorse. Angry Shida is an exciting thing and we're missing a lot of energy in those moments right now. In an alternate universe people talking poo poo and Shida coming out with some fearsome knees is getting reactions. I do agree though that Nyla could have carried this situation better.

I think the difference is, when Shida gives developing wrestlers any offense at all it brings her aura down, while just the nature of Riho’s character and her size makes her work against anyone. But I dunno I prefer Shida overall but that is just because that type of wrestler is more of what I am into.
