I still think its shameful that they had her as a pretty big feature in both Mae Young Classics, and they repeatedly talked about her financial struggles and then didn't sign her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Bigger question is how does AEW not pick her up. I mean she was in that casino battle royal gimmick I believe. Not like they have a strong women's roster. Meanwhile she is going to a division in NXT that is so strong and loaded that people like Cheslea Green and Deonna Purrazzo has to go up to the main roster to make room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If AEW was smart, they'd go on the network, watch the two Mae Young Classics and just pick anyone not signed to WWE. Kimber Lee, Sage Beckett, Vanessa Kraven, and Priscilla Kelly are all as good enough to be on television every week. I don't even think the top of AEW's women's division is that bad, it's just so damn shallow that they should be looking for every capable worker they can find.

Pete Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I'll always love Mercedes just for her match at this one JAPW show where my ex yelled "THE BITCH IS EVIL!" as she mauled her opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I always found the "AEW has trouble getting women because WWE signed everyone" argument I occasionally see to be bullshit. There were plenty in the first two MYC never picked up with many of them having likely improved in the time since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like one of those stories where a kid uses his lawn mowing money to provide something basic for his family. People think it's some charming story about hard work and pulling yourself up by the boot straps, and I just roll my eyes and think, "this is a horrible fucking story about a failing society." Her story fails to be charming when being told by a company who is in a position to change the narrative. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofuture Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Could be something as simple as not being able to uproot her life and move to Orlando at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) To be honest that was why I was kind of surprised she didn't end up in AEW. I figured she only didn't go to WWE because of the schedule and move affecting her family. I thought she was AEW bound for sure after her battle royal appearance.

I'm not disputing any of this. I hope I'm just letting my imagination run wild, and they did everything in their power to help her. It just rubbed me the wrong way.

I'm pretty sure Beckett has retired, but I've no idea why Kimber Lee or Kelly aren't already signed up, esp when you consider Kelly's husband already works there. For that matter, I don't understand how the likes of Solo Darling or Lady Frost haven't been signed up by anyone yet, not even Impact 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanessa Kraven, Priscilla Kelly, and Bea Priestly could be some a pretty good heel stable. This also may be me mixing up the goth/punk/emo spectrum and none of them actually make sense together. The goth/punk/emo spectrum is also something I just made up. But, there is an alt-beauty type thing that I could get behind with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Reminder - Kimber Lee had been signed for NXT. Her NXT name was Abbey Laith She got like wins in the first Mae Young and I think had like two matches on TV At the time (I am not sure if the real reason ever came out) there was debate if the WWE just released her or if she asked for her release because she wasn't being used on TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Velveteen Dream has a back injury. Shame as he'd have played a pivotal part for NXT vs. RAW vs. Smackdown last November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
