I didn’t realize how much I missed Shida being on TV. She can have a great match with anyone, as evidenced by her match tonight against Marina Shafir. Obviously “the problem” has some growing to do, but I’m pretty sure I just saw her best match thanks almost exclusively to Shida. I’d live to have Hikaru in either belt chase, and the sooner the better. What do you think? Where would she best be used?
I don’t know what they think they are doing with the women’s division. It was desolate at the start, then started showing some real promise with fresh stars and standbys starting to really stretch their legs, and then we had injuries and drama, and we are practically back where we started. The Outcasts are doing fine, I guess, but they could really be doing more. Stat being back is huge. For her faults and too-long title run, Jade was really hitting her stride as a performer. The pieces are there, just fucking put it together!
