Just based on her history of This Bullshit, i'd scuttle ivlisse from the booking board and boot her from the company ASAP, because who needs this nonsense, especially when there are a lot of promising young women coming up hungry for more time in the ring with pros like Shida/Nyla/Thunder Rosa

edit: The fact that Thunder Rosa is as refined/fluid/amazing as she is with 6 years experience, like god drat, she's on track to be a GOAT

yeah i mean "two sides to every story" blah blah blah ivalisse has a long history of being a pain to work with, everyone seems to like rosa a lot, it seems like a pretty clear call.

I stand by my HM nomination :colbert:

It was a hard hitting match with a couple of awkward transitions. And Thunder Rosa is the best and all came out looking like a star.

A match can be really fun if both people aren't getting along and decide to hit each other really hard and show each other up. It's not the best thing for the business, but for just a match it can be exciting. Because it's supposed to be a fight, not everything should look perfect, like Samoa Joe says.

But it's not a good idea to be doing this on national TV when you have a spotty reputation!

it was easily the weakest of rosa's matches in aew, rosa's just really good and they were able to edit it into something good. that one shot of ivalisse with a total stone face made an impression tho lol

I liked it better than the Deeb match :shrug:

I have no choice but to conclude that every match would be improved if an excellent wrestler was going up against a talented but ornery wrestler throwing a mild fit

A match can be good even if one of the parties goes into business for themselves, and Rosa/Ivalisse was a good match.

thats fair, i think the deeb match was just so outta nowhere it left such a strong impression.

Yeah no for sure, a person with a history of causing trouble deciding to act up despite being unsigned is a pretty clear sign that Ivelisse needs to go

Right? She would also supply much needed beef to the women's roster. I secretly want her and Heidi Howitzer to be a women's tag team of facepainted, Zubaz-wearing oafs who wreck everything in their path.

Lady hosses would also give them a wider spectrum of styles working in that division so they’re not tempted to keep booking those higher risk spots that were destroying knees during the spring.

Pounding my knife and fork on the table, demanding more large oafs in the women's division.

In all seriousness I feel very strongly that a good wrestling promotion needs a diverse array of body types and in-ring styles, and women's wrestling rarely gets that kind of consideration.

I honestly think the Women’s Division is in a spot right now where it could legitimately be a highlight of Year 2 of Dynamite, even if the Joshis and Shanna aren’t able to get back into the country any time soon.

After showing her rear end on politics in Twitter a while back, Shanna can stay away forever as far as I care.

Good luck with your depression!
One of the things AEW seems to have really been careful about (like from before day 1) is maintaining a positive and supportive locker room. Literally everyone in the company has at one point or another commented on how great the atmosphere is backstage and how different it is compared to the rest of the wrestling world. Maintaining this atmosphere outta be enough all by itself to boot Ivelise into the proverbial dumpster and I'd really like to see her gone. She just exhibits every classic narcissistic personality trait and is so far into her career that I can't see a path for her to correct anytime soon.

Also she sucks.

Vince MechMahon

I feel like they should prove they're the supportive locker by having a serious talk with her and giving her one more chance. Give her the chance to change. Which maybe is what they've done with the match going forward. But if she fucks up again she needs to go.

The tournament did great numbers on youtube, the idea worked and the finals were on TV. The rest of the matches weren't really great TV matches, although most were at least fun.

For various reasons the division hasn't had enough TV ready talent this year. When they have access to TV ready talent they've been using them, Thunder Rosa has gotten two long matches in the last few weeks. They've done everything they can to get Baker and Swole on TV even though Baker couldn't wrestle. When they have acts that work they try to get them on Dynamite.

She has to have gotten countless second chances at this point (hell AEW was her second chance imo) if she actually is the narcissist every action she's ever taken indicates then a stern talking to isn't gonna do poo poo. She needs serious and long term professional mental healthcare and given her stated attitudes on that front I'm not holding my breath.
