      Same could be said for her skill. If her opponent isn’t above average in ability, her matches aren’t too good, and she rarely sells anymore. Her and Rhea are just so massively overhyped, they could compete in a swimming pool bra and panties match and Jim would praise it as the best match he ever saw.

    Regarding the card overall, apparently it was supposed to include Seth versus Bronson Reed, Punk in the Men's Chamber (winning it), and Brock versus Dirty Dom, until injuries and circumstance made that impossible. Aside from pulling out Cody versus Rock, and bumping Rhea from the Main Event, or bringing in Gunther, who can't leave the US until his resident status is approved, I think this was the best pivot they could have done.

      Criticisms of Nia would hold so much more weight (no pun intended) if they weren't constantly thrown towards her even when she has solid matches. You'd think she was a walking mess during that match, when it was easily her best since returning.
      A lot of these "complaints" thrown at Nia Jax just feels like hating tbh. Call her on her shit when he fucks up, but don't pretend as if she hasn't improved whatsoever during this current run compared to how horrible she was before.

      @Dopefish76 Před 2 měsíci +4

      I’d say the difference here is Ridge Holland isn’t in the main event/title picture, where performers HAVE TO work well, sell well, and talk well. Midcarders get less scrutiny because they aren’t competing for the top prize, if they ever get there. So while it’s fair to point out that other performers botch moves, they don’t get as much scrutiny because of their position on the card and roster overall. If you’re gunning for the top spot, your shit better be tight or it’s rightfully going to get called out. Has Nia’s work improved, sure. Is it at Rhea or Charlotte’s level? I’d say not.

    I feel bad for Nia here, she's nowhere near as bad as Jim makes out.
    No, she can't cut a promo with the attitude, but it's so rare to have a woman wrestle like a monster heel and she does it well. It was also a good opportunity for Rhea to have someone to bump around for as that's something she doesn't have to do often.
    I chalk it down to Jim's often poorly-cross-haired perspectives on the women. He has his favourites, and doesn't even see the rest. Took a while for Brian to talk Jim into Bianca, and Bianca is generally great.
