4 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Rampage (Feb 10)
1. Give Them A F*cking Chance
Picture-in-picture whinge time.
AEW gave Ruby Soho and Marina Shafir five minutes of ring time. Fair enough, but the full five minutes wasn't shown. A good two-three minutes of the thing was accompanied by ad breaks that dominated the screen. How can you expect fans to care about characters if this is what they're handed?
The pair had a decent match going on too. Marina's heat section was good, and Ruby's never-say-die attitude came to the fore. It's just a pity that this gets the top 'Down' because of All Elite's woeful formatting. It was really sh*tty of TK and the agents to lay things out this way.
Nothing interrupted the Impractical Jokers/JAS bit, and that won't lead to anything. Also, Jungle Boy vs. Ryan Nemeth was sandwiched into the show when that time would've been better-served going to these women. The TV time they were handed on Friday was a slap in the face.
