I have just finished binge watching the first round. Overall I enjoyed it but I thought some of the girls were a bit clunky (Renee, Kavita, Rachel and Marti).
Shayna and Kairi are top tier in my opinion. Kairi has the best elbow drop in the world, Shayna is just scary good. I was very impressed with Candice Wrestling, very fast and very fluid. Her finisher is excellent.
I thought it was a mistake to put Abbey through instead of Jazzy who was clearly over with the crowd.
What did you think ?

just not feeling this tournament. Probably won't start watching until the quarter-finals or so. Still think it is a big mistake releasing this binge style.

Impressed with Candice LaRae, Dakota Kai, Jazzy Gabert, Kari Sane, Piper Niven, Toni Storm, Taynara Conti and the first match with Sugehit and Kay Lee Ray. Like Bianca Blair too but that hair makes me too worried that someone will accidently step on it or it will get caught somehow and cause a serious injury. Agree Jazzy should have moved on but I bet they bring her back to wrestle a match during the finals. Don't know about Baszler. It may be just me but it seems like her punches look weird. Could be that after seeing her really punch people seeing her pretend to punch is weird to me. Do love her finish though.

Her finish comes out of nowhere.
Rachel and Marti had the worst match for me, very sloppy and clunky.

wonder if the rumors are true that Marti was so unimpressive that they changed the match result mid match.

I would've dropped both of them for that abortion of a match.
Sad to see Rachel Ellering have such a terrible outing.

Triple H did say that the tournament was suppposed to be with 16 wrestlers. He should have gone with his original idea. Clearly there's like 4 or 5 girls that are not ready yet or are just bad.

Agree, probably should have been just 16. Also did I miss something or is/was Madusa going to be involved with the commentary team?

She's been cut probably due to the length of the first round.

Jim Ross said he doesn't even know if Madusa's spots have been cut or not.

The Good:
1) Being able to binge 2) Shayna Baszler
The Bad:
1) Darkening of the crowd during matches 2) Bit of a mixed bag in terms of talent
Overall I think it's good that the WWE are showcasing women's wrestling and the quality overall isn't too bad. But I worry about the future of these women. We already saw what happened after the Cruiserweight Classic. Great tournament, but when you wrestle in a division the WWE traditionally don't care about, they inevitably stop caring about it. It doesn't bode well for the women but I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

I hope they signed Tessa Blanchard. ..she's stunningly gorgeous and could work.

Tessa had a very good match (her best match yet ?) with Kairi.

For anyone wondering why targeting the Indian market....peep the youtube views
Candice LeRae vs Renee Michelle - 9,400 views Kairi Sane vs Tessa Blanchard - 47,000 views Kevita Devi vs Dakota Kai - 1,400,000 views

Maybe that's the New Zealand audience as well. But you're probably more right with the Indian market.
