She defined that belt as a workhorse title, wrestled on TV, PPVs, & house shows frequently, and regularly did media appearances.
Most importantly, she made EVERYONE that stepped in the ring with her look good. Several women had their best matches with Stat. Near perfect reign.

One day we’re gonna have a conversation about the general refusal of many Black wrestling fans to support Black wrestlers unless they’re in WWE.
Black wrestlers are killing it in AEW, Impact, NJPW, etc but they don’t “matter” unless they’re in WWE. Why is that? It’s so stupid.

Some may wonder what is the appeal of Eddie Kingston. This is it.
He literally had one shot and treated it like his life was on the line and knocked it out of the park.
That level of hunger & desperation to succeed is so rare in today’s wrestling but sorely needed.
Eddie Kingston's AEW debut, promo and match against Cody is special.
Not only because it's one of the best promos in AEW history but also because it revived Eddie's career.
Incredible.

Compared to Tanahashi and Nakamura, Shibata was the one who was least likely on paper to be a crossover star in the West. The fact that he’s managed to do it by simply being The Wrestler is so awesome. I’m so happy for him and I’m happy that TK values him like the legend he is.
Shibata said he’s ready to make a commitment to Tony Khan and ROH/AEW. It means so much to me to see him get a second chance here in the United States.
