For what it's worth, this has roughly equal or more views than most episodes of dark.
Also Jazz did do the casino battle royale. Was just looking through that list. A few women in there I'm surprised we've never seen again. Shazza lives in Aussieland so she's not an option right now. Thought maybe we'd see Nicole Savoy again. They made a huge deal about Teal Piper debuting (to be fair, she was pretty rough in the ring, but she's got a last name, and that counts for a lot more than it should lol).
Could potentially still be surprises for the last teams. We know Ivelisse and Diamante but that's it, so there are 3 other teams. I assume Swole is in it, but I wouldn't be surprised if Shida wasn't. Especially if it leads to something like the winners against her in a triple threat or something at All Out.
Goddamn they really need some open borders stat. So many stuck elsewhere right now.

Lol Brandi is totally booking herself to win this Nah she doesn't have the full book. She'll go to the finals and lose, because whoever comes out of the other bracket (I'm assuming Diamante and Ivelisse) will hopefully get over big for knocking her out.

I'm just now getting around to watching the 1st episode. Thought below:
Veda and Eddie's daughter are cool additions for this. Makes this feel different.
Not the biggest fan of Mel/Allie/Brandi in ring, so that first match didn't do a ton for me.
I liked the finish to the second match. It takes a lot of flexibility to pull that off. The Nyla attack post match was solid.
I'm interested to see who will be on the next show. Decent start to the tournament.

She hinted back on her talk is Jericho interview that she was open/wanting to try getting back into the ring someday.

B-I-G fan of Dasha. Definitely watching tonight! Glad I'm not the only one. Dasha just seems really like a genuinely likable person. I know she originally signed with NXT as a wrestler, so it's cool to see her get a show. I'm also a big Ellering fan, so really hoping they can be an awesome powerhouse team. I'd love to see them run tournaments like this semi-regularly, especially as a way to showcase/try out new talent. Post COVID, there could be some really cool opportunities if they brought in talent from their partner promotions.

Great night tonight. I was hoping to see Kilynn King over Rache Chanel, but oh well.
I was pretty pumped to see Nicole Savoy show up, I think it was just a day or two ago on here I was saying I was hoping she would come back. She looked solid as always. She really didn't get to do much in the casino battle royale, was good to get her in this. I think they go over the nightmare sisters next week, and that leads to the Allie/Brandi turning point. God I hope so, you can't in your right mind put Allie & Brandi over Nicole & Swole. That would be an absolute joke of a decision.
Diamante & Ivelisse looked more like themselves tonight, really enjoyed that match. Thought Dasha looked awesome all things considered, I'd enjoy seeing her wrestle more. Ellering looked really good for her 1st match back. Could tell there was a bit of ring rust, but she still looked solid.
I really hope some contracts come out of this tournament. Savoy, diamante, Ivelisse, and Ellering would make that women's division solid a.f. With everyone talking about them needing a recognizable name, Ivelisse, Diamante & Savoy all do that with the more indie crowd, and Ellering having that last name sure helps with the tv crowd. She may be the least experienced of the 4 by far, but the last name is a good selling point, and she can have some great matches. (In the case of with Christi Jayne, an absolutely amazing match, and a, um.... not so amazing match haha. If anyone's seen it, you'll know what I mean. If not, look up their "shoot" match clip on youtube. it's freaking hilarious. They did have a banger of a match with wrestlecircus another time though at least.
I'm gonna be choked if I don't see more of some of these girls.
Such a good call to put it on youtube. They couldn't get that type of time on tv, though you can absolutely put La Sicaria's against Big & Lil Swole on dynamite, and that final should be on dynamite

I would have been pissed if Ivalese and Diamante lost. Dasha looked good and she did wrestle in NXT a little bit, but to this point she was a ring announcer/interviewer. So it would have been WWE-like to have her win.
Wasn’t crazy about the first match.

It's apparent that they should sign Ivelisse and Diamante, as they are both competent.
Ivelisse does a lot of "waiting" in positions for spots, but she is solid enough that she would be an improvement over Penelope Ford and Anna Jay.

You know Anna has only wrestled like ten matches ever right? She's very much in The company as a long term prospect. Penelope has improved sooooo much over the last year. If she keeps improving she's gonna really keep turning heads. But yes, Ivelisse and diamante definitely need contracts. They are both really strong

They are both really strong Neither of them are ready to wrestle on TV, especially Penelope. All of the flips in the world are useless if you botch half of them. Despite having a high level of athleticism, I'd argue Anna Jayy is far-better, and that is not PF's fault, at all. Her looks caused them to push her on TV too soon. There is just not much out there to sign, as even Ivelisse and Diamante are below much of the WWE roster.

If Tony would spend some money, or have his Father, they could have a great but smaller division. ODB, Jazz, Kong, and shell out money for Gail Kim & Kairi Hojo. Money talks. They got $10B. At that, Shida becomes the green girl with the least experience. Then you can send EVERY female that are prospects to QTs to train with Dustin every day, for 2 years. Phase em in, and those vet lady's out. At least the matches would be quality.

There is just not much out there to sign, as even Ivelisse and Diamante are below much of the WWE roster. Penelope's match with Shida at fyter fest was fantastic, and well worthy of being on TV. I'd argue it was the best match on the first night of fyter fest. One of the better women's matches the company has had. She still has plenty of places to improve, but Penelope a year ago couldn't have hung with Shida in a match of that calibre, no matter how good Shida is (and makes people look). Anna is long term likely going to be far-better than Penelope, but she's not even close right now. Like at all. I agree there is just not a lot out there to sign, but it gets much better over the next couple of years. Savoy should have been signed ages ago (and hopefully will be now), Conti is a workhorse and would be a great addition. A year or two more of reps and Rok-C and Elayna Black are both going to be really good. I think those two would be well worth investing in right now.

Phase em in, and those vet lady's out. At least the matches would be quality. For the right $$$, I'm betting Kairi's husband would move here for a while. Give him some BS role just to keep him legal (I have no idea about immigration laws, would he even need a job to be allowed to live there when she's working there since they're married? I dunno) Even if they only get her for a couple of years while they develop prospects, then she an her husband can go back for good and she can 100% retire. Totally agree about training with Dustin. That's why Penelope has improved a ton I'm sure. Dustin works with a fair amount of the women from what I understand. Grab the two I mentioned in my other post and send them to Dustin and QT as well. I don't know how NWA snagged quality women that AEW missed. Thunder Rosa would be an absolute ace in this company.

Well, Brandi & Allie headed to the finals, that's disappointing but predictable. I 100% think they should have let them breakup tonight and put the Swole's in the finals. They're crazy if they aren't playing to sign basically every non roster women in this tournament. The match itself was ok, Brandi does look better and better everytime she steps in the ring, and honestly I think Allie's improved as well. She had a really good rep coming from impact and whatnot, but her in ring stuff was never super polished.
Second match was easy match of the tournament so far. Anna Jay is improving so fast its honestly kinda scary to see. In a good way. Conti looked freaking great, and she's already a huge hit online, if they aren't making serious plays at signing her they're f**king crazy. I'm pretty convinced Ivelisse and Diamante already have contracts and them winning the tournament is part of the story to make it official. Good call, they both looked great tonight. I'm pretty sure can chalk up the earlier lackluster dynamite match to straight up ring rust, they are looking polished again in a hurry. I loved this match. Right team won, but this match really should have been the finals.
I spend a lot of time defending this division, but man, if they drop the ball on too much of the talent in this tournament and can't turn them into contracts, I'm done defending it. You just let go of Bea & Sadie, but still have 58 men on the roster (59 with Cardona). Compared to the 17 women, get the freaking checkbooks out and prove you want this division to work. The tools to finish it off were all in this tournament. Sure Tessa's dope and I'd like her on board, but she's not the only way. There was enough talent in this tournament to run that damn division.

You telling me that either the one booking herself to win will win or the homophobe who helps noted pedo Chasyn Rance at his shitty gym will win?
Wack.

Not defending the Chasyn stuff or the comments themselves, but she's teaming with Diamante so it's likely changed her tune on that sort of thing. Scorp had similar issues in the past but is now regularly hanging out with Nyla.
