-- Eric Bischoff recently reviewed AEW Dynamite and spoke of Mercedes Mone's character and development in AEW, heavily criticizing the former WWE star for being one-dimensional. Here's what he had to say:
"The interviews that I’ve seen from Mercedes since she arrived in AEW, this was better than what I’ve seen in the past. I for one...now, this is a commentary about the character and I said I’m not going to do it too much. Or at all, but I’m going to break my own rule here. That Mercedes character, from what I’ve seen so far, is as one-dimensional as one-dimensional can get. There’s got to be like some wacky math formula that will allow you to get to a number that makes this more interesting than what it really is. I’m not saying that right, I’m not making my point. But my point is, this was better than what I’ve seen. But how you get to be anything less than one-dimensional without a really cool math formula, I don’t know. But that’s what this is.
"That character, the way she’s presenting herself - number one, it’s not over. You can pipe in all the 'CEO' you know as part of the music, you want. The audience is not getting with it. Now, there were less than 4,000 people in that arena last night based on what I’ve seen from WrestleTix. A couple of hours before the show, there were less than 4,000 people in that arena. So that makes it tough, there’s just not a lot of energy there. But that crowd was flat, they’re not buying that character, in my opinion. And that is a producer’s note. Because if your characters aren’t working because there’s no depth to those characters, you’ve got a problem. And I’m not buying it, I don’t think anybody else is either."
