Dani has been putting in serious work and you can tell. The girl wants it. It’s not my place to comment on physique but I think something positive is appreciated:

She’s done an outstanding job toning up.
Her gear looks very good. The indie look is gone for her.
She’s much smoother in the ring and her athleticism is better than when we first saw her.

For these reasons alone, I hope her future is with AEW. I like the Burn Book because hell, it beats generic CAW wrestler gimmick. It’s different and different is good.

Agreed on all points; her new gear in particular is a huge improvement. The burn book is a decent opening match/low midcard gimmick for now.

Hoping they let Red Velvet do some chain wrestling soon, always liked when Emi and Riho would throw that into the mix.

I just went back and watched her first match in AEW against Kris Statlander in March, and she has stepped every aspect of her game up since then. But then I guess that comes from having high profile matches from the company where your trainer works.

It needs to be shown to camera long enough for people to see it, the Penelope one was pretty funny once I was able to see what it said.

It’s not apples to apples but if Jericho can get a clipboard over as “the list” there’s no reason the burn book can’t be a viable gimmick prop

Yeah I’m not saying it’s dead in the water but it’s nigh impossible to get the gimmick over as a Dark jobber that doesn’t get mic time and instead just points at it every now and then

Then again, that works for Luther

The problem with the burn book isn't necessarily the idea itself so much as its just completely stolen from a movie without any sense of irony or a spin on it or anything.

I mean... This is pro wrestling. Kenny Omega just does the Terminator pose and then everyone claps the theme to Terminator and it's called the Rise of the Terminator.

The Excalibur/Taz/Veda team brings me so much joy. Hoping for someone to come to their senses and replace JR with Veda on Dynamite.

A couple of pages late, but I enjoy the Taz and Veda dynamic.

I am surprised someone who went to law school doesn’t remember to ensure she’s naming the parties specifically instead of saying “they” and “he.”

It does show how experienced Taz is as an announcer.

I get what you're saying, I just feel like with "The Real Mean Girl" as her nickname and The Burn Book it's just too in your face that her entire character is a reference to this movie and really feels like an indie gimmick.

I feel like the thing is the idea of just being a mean girl exists in reality as well, and the book itself is more of a platform than a joke in and of itself, so I guess it doesn't bother me.

I also loved the Paul Burchill Jack Sparrow gimmick though so what the gently caress do I know.

Mighty Pirate Burchill had legs and it's a shame it got derailed because Vince is permanently 10 years behind what's popular

She threw a really good spinning back elbow, which is one more good move than she normally has in a match. Improvement!

I was thinking about how Dark now has continuous storylines, which is markedly different from its inception where it was literally the dark matches. Maybe the overall match quality isn't quite as high, but it's definitely more engaging as a whole.

Also yes, sign the gently caress out of Megabyte Ronnie and get him in a Dark feud with Nakazawa.
