...I don't know what the fuck the AEW is trying to do with Madi Wrenkowski at this point.

First, the other week they stick her in a random tag team with Nyla Rose where Madi is acting obnoxious, but not out of character. Then their next tag team bout, Vicki is cutting a promo on Madi (despite being Nyla's partner) and Madi comes out acting scared. At the end of the match, Nyla gets ticked, powerslams Madi, and lets either Velvet or Swole pin Madi while she walks out.

So in Elevation #8, it's Nyla vs Madi. Nyla comes out first (which surprised me, since I was wondering if it meant that Madi was already out) -- with Vicki doing some shitty Vicki things -- then Madi comes out, not acting scared of Nyla but watching her back, and I was wondering if they were going to do something really crazy like let Madi beat Nyla. But no, it's a squash match. Madi gets a few hits in, but she's straight-up demolished and Nyla breaks her own pin attempt so she can use another finisher on Madi.

That could have been a whole fucking angle if Tony "Slow Burn" Khan had let them tag for a while *then* broke them up the same way and let cut the girls cut some promos on each other before having a match. I'd probably even keep the same outcome, because -- as much as I love Madi -- she's *not* on Nyla's level. She's a tiny/petite early 20-something who's still green at the gills. I'm kinda expecting that at some point they'll start using her as more than enhancement talent, especially because AEW has maybe a dozen half-decent job gals now (maybe they'll have to make a female version of the Dork Order >_>)

Also, on the subject of AEW's horrible booking, in TWO matches tonight you had a wrestler deliberately break their own pin so they could keep punishing an opponent. WTF? That's a cool move with a lot of impact *because* it's not often seen.

Oh, plus what the fuck is up with AEW pronouncing QT Marshall's name two different ways, even in the same program? The pre-tape pronounced it Mar-shale while during the match it was Mar-shell. I've noticed this happen quite a few times, and I don't get it.

Eva Marie's fine ass is coming back to barely wrestle but look great,

"Barely wrestle" is a lot more than Miss All Red Everything (as they kept awkwardly pushing as her nickname) did in the past. They used to just have her sit in the audience for NXT or whatever. I remember one of the channels I had been watching back then ask if she was even a wrestler any more.

I am upset about the terrible no notice break up of Shelton Benjamin and the other black guy not The Beta Male, Cedrick Alexander, because there was zero buod up and there will be zero pay off, making it pointless. I guess I'll finish tomorrow, but with NXT tonight who knows.

So after getting kicked out of the Hurt Business or whatever, their team also broke up? Oo
