I feel like the booing for Mone was partially driven by intercity rivalry between NY and Boston. But at the same time, isn’t heel Mone where this character has been heading since she debuted? Feels like a natural progression of the character rather than something unexpected that they need to deal with.

They can’t turn her this soon. She’s only been around 3,4 months? They’ve invested way too much into marketing her being a babyface. They shouldn’t turn her because a couple of smarks on Long Island got drunk and booed her, that’s not smart. 😂 Saraya turned heel like a month in and never recovered as a character since.

You guys underestimate how insane cities can get about sports over here (it's why cheap sports heat always gets a reaction). They didn't start booing Mercedes until they remembered she was from Boston (a guy standing up in a Celtics jersey reminded them); that's why they started doing anti-Boston chants. And despite that, she still got her fair share of cheers. And I can't hate the Pulp Fiction/Learning Tree match because everyone (except Jericho, tbh) made it really entertaining. To me, Mox/Naito was the worst match of the night, sadly; Naito just didn't look like his heart was in it.

It didn't help that there was some dumb guy in a Celtics t-shirt sitting in the 4th row. He was standing up showing off his shirt, pushing off the crowd more and more.

@DSFkingАй бұрын
@@professoreinstein6 I'm not sure that her presentation screams heel. Maybe in an old school since where it's mote black and white. But we have more and more tweeners these days. And with AEWs booking style, you may be face or heel depending on who you're fighting that week. Or who the fans side with in the story. Swerve was doing evil stuff in the feud with Hangman but was eventually booked as the face because the fans sided with him. Just for example. I think Mercedes character is very cocky, looks like money, leans into knowing her worth as a star, and those things come off as heelish cause she isn't humble. But she has yet to cheat, run from a fight, attack anyone who didn't deserve it or politic her way into opportunities. We haven't seen her actually do anything foul or wrong. So for me, it's your actions that make you a heel, not how much you brag or flaunt your success.

I was there live. the main event was the most anticipated- swerve was hugely over. the match had amazing psychology and the crowd was going mental in the end. osprey is the best right now and made swerve look legit. osprey should be kept in the title hunt, maybe winning another belt and then beating swerve down the line. the issue with the mone match was that no one knew who steph was. mone certainly had her vocal supporters throughout the match but i think she was treated lukewarm because she's supposed to be a heel- i mean isn't that what her ceo/boss persona really is? (which was confirmed as she joined the EVPs the next night.) someone in the crowd had the perfect sign for her- mercedes mo-meh. But, as the match turned into a back-and-forth clinic i think the crowd realized how good steph was and now had a reason to cheer her and thus, a reason to boo mone rather than staying silent.

As an aew fan I’m begging aew fans to stop chasing away the big stars like we did with Cody. I don’t care what anyone says part of him leaving was due to the fans constantly booing him and him feeling like we were ungrateful.

Man, what happened to the channel I loved that wasn’t reliant on clickbait and “AEW bad” thumbnails, and was actually good like 2-3 years ago?

Gee, Sasha doesnt wrestle for 2 months, gets 2 Titles immediately, gets "main event" status over the Women's WORLD Title with months of build, when even Edge didnt, why would people boo Her?

Mercedes spoiled her match the day before the show to an entire audience of very dedicated and very ONLINE fans. She told TMZ She had creative control, and then subsequently told them she was going to be the NJPW STRONG womens champion in the same breath. I'm not invested in anything she does. ANYTHING. And I don't want her feuding with Britt honestly because I'd rather watch Britt and Jamie in the main events than Mercedes Hogan.

I was there, while there was definitely a lot of nyers trashing boston by cursing out sports teams and by extension mone, people were also cheering for Stephanie vaquer which was honestly really cool to see. You could argue that it’s just because she was opposite to mone that’s why people were cheering for her. But I think that the crowd were really for vaquer that night seeing that she could go toe-to-toe with mone (I personally think vaquer is the better wrestler) and wanting her to retain because of her skill. Overall tho that was one of the best womens matches I’ve ever seen and hopefully they can both run it back again

I was in the crowd. It felt to me that it was more a case of Stephanie winning them over and Mercedes being booed because “she’s not Stephanie! We like Stephanie!!”

Mercedes is not a babyface. She's a heel.
@tolltroll316Ай бұрын
Her debut match was beating Willow for the TBS title she literally just won. Anyone who thought her as a face would work is crazy

Mercedes has always been a heel in AEW. Regardless of what her creative control or arena location says.

Yeah I don't think you guys realize the rivalry between Boston and New York. And how Mercedes is really all about Boston

Mone already is a HEEL but fans dont care about her character
@LeroyOctopusАй бұрын
I'm really confused that people think Mone is a babyface. When has she acted like one?

About the Mone thing .the show was in New York...it's a New York crowd, My friends were there and the fans started cheering for the Mets ( which my Friends are huge Met fans so that popped them) She is billed from Boston and that is a rivalry. that is why they booed her. It's got nothing to do with cool down or whatever Pete said in the video. My friends kept sending video clips the crowd was hot all night even with Y2J match. Wish I was there with them the whole show was a blast

Mercedes is from Boston. At one point they chanted red sox suck. The venue was in NY. This isn't hard to figure out Pete.

AEW's main problem is they have good matches but bad storytelling.. Matches are not enough to get viewers and their ratings are proving that. People aren't tuning in..

Shingo vs Bryan made me a very happy. Swerve vs Ospreay left me wanting more. Like put them in a cage with the point of it being no outside interference. Can see them take it to that next level when forced to. I enjoyed the story beats and how this encounter went I don’t always want no interference but for the rematch? I think that would be phenomenal

Mercedes mone vs Stephenie vaquire was amazing I give it 4.5stars and what happened was that the crowd turned on mercedes because Stephenie was so goodddd

Pete - Long Island is not a town, it's an island. The Premium Live Event was in Elmont, NY. Thanks for the review!

I don't think they were necessarily booing Mone more like Boston in general. Especially that Boston Celtic fan with the green shirt.

So because You don’t like the gimmick, we don’t get a review of any of it? This whole bit is to put over the other guys but You don’t even mention them.

I have to give the benefit of the doubt that being English y’all don’t understand the animosity between New York and Boston, but that’s the story here, as well as the crowd genuinely falling in love with Vaquer. Anyway, Moné is a tweener if she isn’t a full heel, so what narrative are we pushing here? It feels like a “the booking is falling apart” assessment, but beloved baby face has never felt like her direction.
@edlavisАй бұрын
Mone has been too vocal in the media I think. She's buried WWE in some interviews, and said her move to AEW was nothing to do with money and to do with performing in front of 'better crowds'. Despite what the internet wants to tell you there will be plenty of people who watch both products, so those obvious PR interviews rub a lot of people the wrong way.
@ProgrammedForDamageАй бұрын
She's had to bury the WWE after her intial comments when she walked in the door and said that one day she'd be back there. Tony Khan would have made it a point that every time she opens her mouth from then on she slags the WWE.

"The neck snap spot" should rightfully be called the Sonya Blade spot. Put some respect on her name!

Several people have mentioned the Mone boos. I just want to reiterate, I was there, itbwas an isolated incident due to the Boston v NY sports feuds in basketball and baseball. BUT... I have to correct something else Pete said. We were hot for this match. People cheered for Stephanie as much as they boo'd Mone. She was over in the building. Don't know if it translated on TV though.
