45 minutes for the AEW women's roster to be showcased on Jim Cornette's KZread channel, that's more than the combined time they get on TV for 6-7 months.

I quit watching wrestling for 5 years... When Vince was booted I started again. After all the praise of AEW and it's women, I decided to watch all of it too... It's the same thing Vince was running... Multiple shows a week and only 1-2 hours of something that actually matters. A look up of AEW Dark told me it was important. Half an episode in and I was ready to quit again..

I'd keep Thunder Rosa. She can and does hold up her own end every time. She and Britt don't like each other, but they can work together. A couple of blink-and-you-miss-them ladies complained that she no-sold them, but I saw those matches and what she did was not oversell really weak worked punches. I'd keep Shida, too, but the rest of the Japanese ladies would go and I'd be on the lookout for the next jumping bomb angels to take their places.

There's multiple 'super leagues' in sports (see WNBA) for women and outside of tennis, women sports will never get over to any high degree because it is athletically inferior.
If I were Tony I'd make every effort to keep Thunder Rosa, backstage drama be damned. Kind of odd Jim would sack her given she is a talented veteran with a fan base. She'd also be an excellent trainer. Toni Storm should be the top face of the division. She was the one that WWE (Vince's awful booking) let get away. Cargill is their Goldberg. Too much, too soon and belt made just for her, but she should be the top heel. Hot take: Britt Baker is overrated and gets her spot from Tony being infatuated with her.

@@LoveProWrestling I can't speak much on Burke's drawing power. Moolah was never a draw. Nobody ever spent money because Moolah was on a card. Elizabeth was a draw because people loved the dynamic with Savage , and she was important in the Savage Hogan feud that drew many dimes. Sable for about a 12 month period in 98-99 drew dimes. You can throw Lynch and Flair in there if you want. They drew to a audience that's lost 75 percent of their fan base in the last 20 years. So Lynch draws in a vacuum , but doesn't bring any fans that quit watching in. All those others you mentioned never drew anything. Don't matter how technically good they are , it's not the same as drawing.
Hard recency bias against Athena. She was good as Ember Moon in WWE, and was trained properly. I gave her the benefit of doubt that she just started working a certain way because the girls she was with were pushing for it or something. As far as I know, she’s never hurt anyone prior to AEW.
Honestly really love the one where they rated all the men roster when they talked about each personality and who can stay who can go honestly loved it now excited to see the woman's one because yes they have a lot of men in the roster and most of them they should get rid of them but they won't because it's friends wrestling and all friends so they can't fire their friends or get rid of their friends because he's my friend so he has to have a job and that's the reason why they have so many people in the roster and they only guy who made ratings the only guy who made the difference the only guy who making magic good story on was thrown away or having a buyout is because he's not friends with anybody in the company and because the guys left to work not to make friends
solid picks, along with that, i would look at that impact women's roster and see when some of those contracts are up. they got some good talent over there.

Watching this to hear Jim say "RIIIIIHO"
No man should be allowed in women's sport having Rose as former champion makes the womens title pointless
In my opinion I'm not sure why Tony made Madison rain a coach I was a bit shocked by that because she's always been an impact and no disrespect to her but I never really thought she was a wrestling queen or anything especially when she was with the beautiful people and what not I always figured if somebody would get that role maybe it would have been like Mickey James because she did a really great women's show for NWA with the help of I believe Molly Holly and some other chicks but I always figured it would be Mickey James Madison rayne doesn't really seem like a women's coach to me
These roster run downs have just proven how incompetent Tony really is. Soooo much talent to work with…but he just doesn’t know what he’s doing
I have been watching Hikaru Shida since 2014 and have seen many matches from her that show her work much better than anything she has done is AEW. Seems they make even good wrestlers look bad. Glad she made the final cut on the list

Very happy to see this part. So many women, so little time.
My opinion. Best workers: Deeb, Toni, Thunder, Allie, Shida, Hayter, Madison Rayne, Mercedes, Statlander, Willow. Best personalities: Britt, Jade, Toni, Madison Rayne, Allie, Saraya, Rebel, maybe Kris Statlander and Soho. Best Look: Jade, Toni, Allie, Anna, Tay Melo, Julia Hart. Paige, Britt, Hayter, Madison Rayne, Red Velvet. Potential: Leyla Hirsh. Leyla Grey. Sky Blue. Maybe Emi and Yuka. Kiera Hogan. Cut: Depends on how much time you wanna give the women. If they had an entire program, keep em all. First to cut - Athena (she was great but has become dangerous), Nyla, Anna, Riho (unless they make weight divisions), Abadon. Paige if she doesn't take it seriously. Shafir, unless her husband comes over to AEW. If you cut Thunder because women are bullying her, well same thing happen to Punk. Seems a bit like a double standard to give Khan a hard time about cutting Punk and telling him to cut Rosa for basically the same issue.

Nyla should of been JUST A HEEL...and dominate. Have people question if she be allowed to and then have her beat Britt for the belt in a tournament. Making her the FIRST AEW women's champion. Adding fuel to the fire. Then have Britt eventually overcome and it be awesome. You can work the rivalry so well and it make Britt such a badass
I agree with Brian Last. Kris Statlander does look like a star. The Alien thing was weird, but I noticed it back then. She is really good and has ALOT of charisma. It sucks that she keeps getting hurt. It does look like she is injury prone. Hopefully if it is from her making mistakes she learns from them. She is one of the best parts. I actually like The Best Friends and Orange Cassidy when she was around them. She made them look good. 🤣🤣

Great stuff, I can only imagine how triggered certain parts of the fanbase will be by this, especially those I see swearing up and down that Tay Melo or Hikaru Shida are two of the best workers in the world. At the same time, I think Jim's been a little hard on those two - Shida's probably in the top 5 best women wrestlers in AEW (which may not be saying much) and Tay's much more than just a valet and is miles ahead of, say, Anna Jay in the ring. Kris Statlander has the potential to be AEW's biggest female babyface if she can stay healthy and I still think Leyla Hirsch could work as a female Taz - she may be short but she has legit credentials and is strong enough to throw around any opponent. Willow is valuable too - she has a unique look, a bond with the fans and she can go in the ring. I'd keep Red Velvet but only as a babyface, certainly not as one of Jade's Baddies. Her joining that group made ZERO sense unless she was subscribing to the old 'if you can't beat 'em' adage.
