Why did she bomb so badly?
>>
>Why did the dimeless shitter fail?
Maybe because she's nothing without WWE.
>>
>>19899030
She was nothing with WWE too though
>>
>>19899023
Because she wasn't as over as she made herself and Tony believe she was and she was forced to turn heel just like Rick O shit did

I never wanted her. Please take her back. NJPW, WWE, hell, JCW can have her for all I care. Just get her off my AEW shows for good.

Because she sucks at every aspect of wrestling. She was a product of WWE and immune to criticism because of muh black women
>>
>>19899023
she's too skinny these days, tony isn't giving her enough horse food
>>
>>19899300
speaking as a juggalo, we don't want her either. tell tony to send her to GCW, nobody watches that lol.,

Because she was never actually good. The WWE machine did a complete carry job making he come across as special. Worked for a while at first in NXT. Not long on the main roster though and the cracks started forming. Could never talk to save her life. Too much of a mark for herself and Eddie Guerrero for her matches to be any good. She believed way too much of her own hype and her ego took over. Then all the drama started and she just wasn't worth the trouble. WWE even still shows her in stuff and references her by name because they just don't give a shit about her being anywhere else since they aren't interested in her. You'd think her booking would've clued her in that she wasn't that great, and maybe it did, which is why she's been on a vindictive ego trip everywhere else she's been since

Oh and she's bald

Its a really interesting case study. Wrestling is a broken entertainment business and it has been for perhaps 20 years. The singular truth is that nobody understands what draws now and there's this whole history of logic surrounding talent built over a century that just doesn't work now. Every company is struggling with this.
On paper, Mercedes was worth a big investment; she did great numbers in the Black women demo which was something AEW were not serving, she had a small mainstream footprint, she seemed technically sound, moved merch and a strong gimmick. AEW needed numbers in their women's division and it was a good fit logically.
Her audience in WWE just didn't follow her in numbers and instead latched onto Bianca, leaving her as an albatross in terms of cost estimation and value.
This doesn't square with a post 80s wrestling landscape. When WCW signed top WWF talent, the audience would follow them to some degree but especially their core demos. Bret Hart is probably the best example, when he jumped, ratings in Canada dropped for WWF and soared for WCW.
People started noticing this and then sometime in the early 10s started believing that, just like the 60s to mid 80s era, drawing logic was now closer to the territory era where wrestling fans would primarily watch one show. Amarillo might know some stars in Florida but ultimately they thought "their guys" were the best and were loyal to their show.
The key difference though is corporatisation and the fragmentation of pop culture. In the territory era, 6 months would be a good run and then talent would rotate out. That cannot work in a modern era where wrestlers need guarantees and merchandising operations have a lag time. You can have 4 or 5 homestead guys but there has to be a constant conveyor belt for them to work that are presented as major stars.

Early AEW actually showed this, as they needed talent, they had constant new arrivals that kept their guys strong and produced fresh and interesting TV. But like many territories, they hotshot and burned through them too quickly to sustain. So now its the same guys, former midcarders getting pushes and former main eventers in the midcard. Both companies are so petrified of giving the other a top star that they keep talent way past their usefulness.
This is the broken drawing logic, the idea that you can heat someone up, give them a top run, cool them off then bring them back. It doesn't work. And audiences won't follow personalities any more as they're overexposed.
This basically ruins all wrestling promotion logic. Are they loyal to the company or talent? How do you balance short tenures with big money matches? How do you promote people outside your company without promoting another company?
WWE can't solve this problem and the 50 hours a week they put out of content means they can barely promote their own guys.
AEW/NJPW, etc need to chase the absolute top stars of WWE but why would they leave the comfort of a long term contract for a short top run unless given huge money?
Mercedes was an experiment that was important because she was an attempt to make a data driven signing and test of the ability to make that type of shorter run a financial success and mix her in. But due to some poor booking, a misunderstanding of how drawing works and her own mistakes then it tanked the entire idea and now neither company is willing to try again so we're stuck with the midcarders becoming main eventers. No top stars will ever move again between the top two.

A good, sound response in my /pw/? wtf is this?
It's probably because of the fragmentation of pop culture and corporatisation like you mentioned. Mercedes is too much of an egomaniac to actually be interesting and fans stopped caring about her. Also, probably the black girls demo won't watch AEW regardless, it is too much of a product made for white, woke millenials. WWE as a whole is a safer product that I can see black families bringing their girls to.

who are those people that stopped caring for her they literally complain that she's winning belts than harass her on ig live about going back to wwe
