All Elite Wrestling’s Britt Baker recently responded to criticism of the company’s women’s division after a fan held up a sign during her match with Taya Valkyrie on Dynamite. The sign read “book the women’s division better,” highlighting a sentiment that has been echoed by many fans. While Baker acknowledged the frustration, she also questioned the online behavior of some fans.
In an interview with TV Insider, Baker expressed her understanding of fans’ desire for better storytelling in the women’s division. She acknowledged that the best matches come from storylines that fans are invested in and expressed her own desire to see more solid storytelling with the women. However, she also pointed out the contradiction between fans holding signs advocating for better booking and the negative comments she sees on social media.
Baker emphasized the importance of supporting the women’s division and not just criticizing it. She encouraged fans to show their support rather than focusing solely on negative aspects. She also cautioned against making personal attacks and spreading negativity, highlighting the harm it can cause to individuals and the industry as a whole.
While Baker’s response acknowledges both sides of the issue, it raises important points about the nature of online criticism and the impact it can have. It’s true that not every match will be perfect, and fans have the right to express their opinions. However, there is a difference between constructive criticism and personal attacks.
It’s worth considering the impact of negativity on mental health, both for the individuals involved and for the industry as a whole. Wrestling fans have a unique opportunity to shape the future of the sport through their support and feedback. By promoting a more positive and constructive online environment, fans can contribute to the growth and improvement of women’s wrestling in AEW and beyond.
Ultimately, Baker’s response serves as a reminder that fans have a role to play in shaping the industry they love. By supporting the women’s division and providing constructive feedback, fans can help drive positive change and create a better wrestling experience for everyone involved.
