10 Times AEW Put Amazing Details Into Storylines
10. Dr. Britt Baker, DMD's "Friendship" With Tony Schiavone
There isn't a wrestler in the game with a better - and more entertaining - grasp of her character than Dr. Britt Baker, DMD.
She is a Role Model who has mastered two exhausting and very difficult careers - that require so many different skills between them - simultaneously. To incredible comedic effect, she now believes herself to be the best at *every* job.
Including, of course, that of Tony Schiavone, one of the best interviewers to ever do it. In tiny, subtle moments, when she isn't outright blasting him, she corrects his posture with a quiet, hurried motion. He's been doing this for nearly 40 years!
Weeks later, exasperated - he really was heading for a friendship time-out - she almost dropped an F bomb at his incompetence. He was standing just in the way of her "conspirator" presentation, and had to be moved in lowkey fury. How rude: she'd even made him a personal coffee cup. She spelled his name wrong, but she's very busy and important. It's his fault, really.
The most wonderful thing about this storyline is that it's hardly leading to a match that will draw money on a pay-per-view, or a TV rating, or will even ever happen. It exists to fully draw the Baker character in an outstanding, immersive flourish of character development and world-building.
