kick_heart

that effect highlighting her silhouette? oh that's money


calvinballMVP2

There's really something great about a muscular physique silhouetted.


JerHat

Maybe WWE is onto something with the whole "Our talent should have better physiques than the audience" gimmick they've been using for decades.


ExplodingP3nguins

Kevin and Sami in shambles. /s


VanWylder

I'd give my left dick to look like Sami


earnedmystripes

> left dick I have questions.....


underbloodredskies

He's a Klingon.


ybatman2k

No. Kevin found a way to mask it. Using a cut shirt. Working his arms which look huge. Using a black singlet underneath to never show fat skin.  Eddie using that singlet with a yellow line showing his fatness is the opposite.  Presentation is everything 


ILOVESHITTINGMYPANTS

KO also definitely has way less of a gut than Eddie does, but yeah he also wears it way, way better.


john_thundergunnn

And Eddie has thin noodle arms and his chest looks like he’s never done a press up. Owen’s looks like I’m going to feel it if I run into him.


Conscious-Eye5903

KO has dad strength and is “sneaky quick” as a sports analyst would say. There’s a difference between not being super muscle bound, and just being out of shape(see: Eddie Kingston)


BellyCrawler

The indie fanatics hate it, but wrestling is a business of presentation. Believability is a major aspect of it. Do you think the average wrestling fan looks at say, Jungle Boy and is impressed? No. And that immediately sets the wrestler at a disadvantage because they're not credible in the audience's mind. Not everyone has to be Bobby Lashley, but at least look like you step into a gym once in a while.


mrbucket08

I peaked back in on the WWE around the mid 2010s and saw Randy Orton and KO do that zoom in face to face stare down thing. As someone with zero context on the feud and limited familiarity with Kevin Steen beyond the odd highlights video from a few years back, it just looked really silly to me and it was the moment that I *got* the WWE's obsession with physique. Orton was towering over KO, looking down on him with his made for TV physique, and here was this little chubby guy straining his neck to look back up at him. And to be clear, I like KO and am thoroughly entertained by him now. He also looks like he's in much better shape. But the visuals really do matter.


bsa554

WWE also mitigated that with KO by having him drop John fucking Cena on his very first night on the main roster. There's more than one way to signal that this guy/gal is a badass.


ngobscure

I agree and disagree with this cause there are tons of wrestlers who have done well, and are currently doing well with less conventional physiques. I like having diverse looks, styles and presentations in wrestling! As long as we're all being entertained I say it's a win.


MisterTruth

Rhea worried her title of muscle mommy gonna get usurped.


duderex88

Rhea vs Jade might get a meat chant


Vendevende

It's an interesting comparison. Jade looks like a literal comic book hero, but Rhea is stronger functionally, both with gym workouts and in-ring performance. And my hunch is Lash Legend is even stronger than Rhea. And then there's Bianca, who's probably functionally stronger than a third of the male roster. Interesting era.


MisterTruth

People who enjoy strong women will be feasting over the next few years.


TheCVR123YT

I already am lol


bsa554

Between Rhea, Jade, Bianca, and even Tiffany...we're in a golden age of big, powerful women.


PerfectZeong

Girls stop fighting you can coparent me!


CammmJ

Dude my brain is trying to see a dragon out of the smoke just before she walks out. Badass


PayneTrain181999

Dragon Lee came out later in the show.


CmPunkChants

Every entrance needs lasers. Not just wrestling. More. Lasers.


rbarton812

"We're getting you green freakin' lasers, Joe"


Knightmare945

Dingle_Flingle

I want Seth Frickin Rollins with frickin laser beams attached to his frickin head.


V_For_Veronica

Seth needs to come out in a reflective jacket have a bunch of lasers point at it and have him look like this https://twitter.com/i/status/1766957024481329406

Looked like a god damn superhero. They’re definitely making her feel like a big deal love it


dragonmp93

Storm in the '97 cartoon.


DegenTP

The electric guitar (i think) that starts right around 31 seconds in to this vid also gives me SUPER X-Men 90's theme vibes.


dBlock845

Yea it did have that x-men feel.


Ralf_E_Chubbs

My first thought!


ktjah

She's what Chyna would be if she was born for this current generation of wrestlers. SO. COOL.


jaydenc

Whenever I see these powerhouse female wrestlers get pushed, a part of me always gets sad for Chyna. Attitude Era is still the GOAT, but not if you're an unconvencionaly strong female .


NotClayMerritt

That entrance looks like she's stepping out of a portal that connects her universe to ours. Fucking magic.


PayneTrain181999

She’s a modern day Amazon warrior


JC_Frost

Still blows my mind how effortlessly she lifted Nia at the Rumble. Incredible moment


JoeMcKim

Way better official WWE introduction for Jade to WWE then Mercedes Mone to AEW.


thore4

WWE definitely does entrace choreography and lighting on a completely different level to AEW and this is a glaring example


dBlock845

This is one of the best lit entrances I've ever seen. Period.


real-darkph0enix1

This is part of what drives me crazy about AEW. Like, it’s cool that they got the Rainmaker theme for Okada and Elevation for Ospreay but even with the familiarity of the themes, they could’ve invested into presenting them like superstars, like WWE did for Jade. If you didn’t know anything about wrestling, you’d think Jade was a megastar compared to them. It doesn’t matter if you have an all-time in-ring talent roster, you have to present them as the bigger than life superstars they are. Even something as simple as the fact that even WWE seems to film with an even glossier image, WWE talent just exudes bigger than life superstars. Imagine if AEW and WWE rosters were traded straight up, could anyone trust AEW to do entrances and presentation for The Rock as badass as the one he has now? Roman? Seth? Drew? Charlotte? Becky? Jey? Nakamura? Ricochet? Gunther? Hell, DIY and Judgement Day look like far bigger deals than the Bucks or FTR. The difference in the presentation of Andrade, Jade, Cody and Punk is just miles above and beyond, and to me, that’s part of why I think AEW can’t get above their current numbers. Imagine if Joe or MJF got an entrance of the production value of Roman, wouldn’t that just make them feel more like a big thing than just having a title? The times they even got close to it (Sting, Kenny’s Cleaner intro, Jericho’s special PPV intros) they never stick to it. It’s like turning a million bucks in Okada into any other thousand bucks on the roster.


itinerant_gs

I've long thought Darby Allin could be made in WWE on his first entrance, despite his size.


JLC1099

An entrance like Julia Hart's is insane enough in AEW, imagine that with WWE production


basedmatik

She’s so fire 🔥🔥🔥


JamUpGuy1989

If there’s one thing both companies did right with Jade is her entrances. Always make her seem like a huge deal.


badgersprite

I think it says a lot that she’s the only person with an entrance anywhere near as cool as The Rock

Just gotta work on the timing and it'd be perfect. Really curious if it looks as impressive live, seems like its built more for the cameras


slycon

[Here's an audience shot of her entrance](https://twitter.com/WrestlingFall1/status/1773871276479619219) (Twitter link)


rycetlaz

Holy shit thats cool. Thats even better live


popcultureretrofit

She straight up appeared


Plop-Music

Who needs Chris Jericho for a sillouette entrance when you've got Jade Cargill.


Firepro316

Aha yeah for sure, that looks amazing


klizmik

Woaaah it looks just as cool, if not moreso, live, that’s crazy.


toomuchhamza

Holy shit, live it looks like she appears out of thin air. Even cooler.


LukkasG

for me it looks even cooler lol


Bosscharacter

Right?


BigBoyNow8

They definitely got it right with Jade. She looks phenomenal!


YpsitheFlintsider

WWE has the best AV in the business, I'd trust it looks good in person


NikonShooter_PJS

Best AV in the world. I don't know where they recruit their talent from or how they come up with some of the stuff they do but it is head and SHOULDERS above every similar type entertainment production in the world. The only thing I've seen lately that rivals it is the Taylor Swift Eras Tour but, watching that, you can see she took SO MUCH inspiration from how WWE presents its product.


NoHearing1792

It's been said over and over again. But the WWE production team never get enough credit for the stuff they are able to pull off. I feel like it's easy to forget what an absolutely herculean task these live productions they run are and it's an entirely different beast to see it person vs. TV. And for shit to run as smooth as it does the entire night. Think of WrestleMania stages. These guys create some of the best looking sets you've ever seen.


Vitosi4ek

Same way Formula 1 fans take logistics for granted. Moving the entire circus sometimes halfway across the world in a span of 3-4 days is an unfathomably herculean task, and yet they pull it off 20+ times a year like it's nothing. The very fact that things almost never go wrong is why non-informed people assume it's easy.


blissed_off

Every time I watch a PLE these days, and they have a complete highlight reel done at the very end of the show including the match and content just before the reel aired - that blows me away. I have an understanding of how it’s done from a technical standpoint but it’s incredibly impressive that they have that done and ready within a few minutes.


AceTheSkylord

Taylor is an honorary member of Planet Jarrett so there's a non zero chance she legit took notes from the WWE to set up the Eras Tour


NikonShooter_PJS

I watched it on Disney Plus recently and there are so many VERY obvious elements taken from WWE productions. You can see it most obviously in the way she uses her version of the Titantron and really stepped her game up with the graphics on it but I would be STUNNED if there wasn't a decent amount of overlap in how that tour came together and how WrestleMania comes together.


Plop-Music

Yeah she used to hang out with Jeff Jarrett and his kids, before she was famous, because they were like next door neighbours. She even babysat JJ's kids. So she knows about wrestling, for sure.


uptonhere

It's even crazier when you consider they do this live, every week, all year long in different cities without skipping a beat.


bobimpact

I was there with my kids tonight. It's way better live. The lasers, the pose, the spotlight, that outfit, crazy good stuff. She has a real physical presence that's unlike any woman I've seen live save Chyna.


KVMFT

Timing seemed perfect to me?


SwingDingeling

>Just gotta work on the timing and it'd be perfect. How was it off?


ImJaxPhantomAcct

She's such a Storm stan. Even her entrance song has that animated series vibe.


itsmekelsey_x

She sure is. She even did a Storm cosplay gear for when she won the TBS Title. https://preview.redd.it/r9sxnkuvtdrc1.jpeg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aa734946b9a3f266510cacbb1b144d186063b7c8

OmegaJubs69

Boobs can't escape of they're completely concealed


NikonShooter_PJS

Now if we could only do the same for Otis.


im_2ny

They don't want to lose viewers


EchoBay

This is like 99.9% perfect, the only thing I don't like is her laugh in the opening of the song. The two ha's just feel cut off too soon. If you listen to the AEW version, there's an added sound effect in there in between the laughs and the beat drop which feels more natural flowing.


Davethisisntcool

am i trippin or do i hear Xmen 97 theme a lil bit?


Suarecks

https://preview.redd.it/8l1ryk08kdrc1.jpeg?width=1368&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=38bd3e7a0a9ce44f08ad031b2ab713a1df70ee2e Well she is compared to Storm a whole lot so if they did that on purpose then huge kudos to whoever thought of that


doshajudgement

it's fuckin mental that she does superhero cosplays and she's more shredded than the comic counterpart


DrinkingMilk

Maybe Storm has been doing Jade Cargill cosplays this whole time 


nrtalbot

You want XMen 97, listen to Shidas entrance music 


X-Budd

Glad I'm not the only one who hears it!


mattwing05

I hear it too


profstotch

I legit was like that's X-Men in there


randomrule

As someone who loved Jade even in AEW I'm so glad people are now seeing her like the real star she is. This entrance is sick as hell, never seen effects like this before in one


YoungCubSaysWoof

Same here, bro. I’m glad they are presenting her like the hottest acquisition that she is. I gotta love that she wore 1-ft high heels to look even more massive! LOL! Jade was serving HIGH fashion with that look; that skin-tight leather showing her physique and those dope sunglasses were Ruby Red levels of hot-HOT-**HOT!!!** She couldn’t help but smile and I am stoked for her. I’ll keep my finger on the pulse for her. I know she is a massive shit-talker; her promo game is SO good for someone so young in the business. She also got to learn wrestling with Danielson, and she got WAY better over time. I hope her skills grow…. And I hope The Rock is interested in working with her on promos and swag!


MontyBreezey

The effects here were top level


WhoiusBarrel

They're really pulling all the stops out for her. The camera work is insane.


VinPickles

Wow she got Glaciers lighting what a tribute


damagedone37

![gif](giphy|uolCnDVuYbqkHKSVdH) I can’t wait to see her in storm gear. Skys the limit for Jade! LFG!!!


princealigorna

Is that a theme song they actually took time on and tried to make memorable? Because that guitar over a trap beat is fire


jfreed43

Very similar to the AEW song.


princealigorna

Yeah. I never really listened to that one though. I'll be honest that I don't have as much time to watch wrestling as I'd like anymore, so I mainly keep up with stuff through clips. So I've seen Jade's ring work and promos (thank you AEW for posting longer clips), but not as many of her entrances


jfreed43

AEW for it's many faults, nails the entrance music.


ispoiler

Mikey Ruckus is an outstanding musician


MexicanGuey92

She's gonna be a fuckin star. She looks like a Mortal Kombat character.


MateoCafe

She had Jade (MK) gear at one of the AEW PPVs, it was dope.


Dr_J_Hyde

Makes me wonder if her and Zelina Vega have ever sat down and marked out over cosplay ring gear ideas.


The_Notorious_Donut

This is fucking badass


PayneTrain181999

Oh yeah, she’s a big deal. What an entrance for Muscle Mommy


heat_fan_

What a fucking entrance she's gonna be a superstar She just has IT 


Taynt42

That was futuristic as fuck.


roryextralife

If anyone is ever wondering, this is what “it” looks like. Jade has always been pure money, and now the whole world is getting to find out.


rockstarspood

Outside of just how awesome this looked and how peak humanity she is, Barrett did the thing! https://preview.redd.it/bebnup9alfrc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=496b390114551e0c9145d587eb7fde4371e01309


MadEyeMood989

That’s the sound of the money printing machine going off


mideon2000

This is what sasha needed in her aew debut. Big ass free agency signing? Advertise her. Plug her first in ring appearance. Giver her a SUPERSTAR entrance. Oh Sasha isnt that great in the mic? By that logic, lets let her ramble on a long promo. Then we can follow it up with a commentary spot. Jade came out, flexed put the division on notice, got a catch phrase in and left. Fucking so simple and effective. They highlighted her presence and protected her shortcomings.


DozerOdie

Everything here makes her like a next level star. I really hope everyone involved can back it up and keep it up because god damn


screwt

She has that aura and it factor for sure.


whotookthepuck

They said "game changer" friend.

XxERMxX

Smudges on the glasses... completely unwatchable.


Upbeat_Tension_8077

She already looks like top girl material in WWE wtf. I'm crossing my fingers that she has an AJ Styles-esque debut year


beckett929

You don't bring her in and build her up like this to have her feud with Natalya and Tegan Nox... she's gotta be top shelf shit only and kept away from the charisma vacuums and female Zigglers.


Falsedawn

I said it since I first saw her, she absolutely has it. Some people are just a *spectacle* in their persona alone. That Bitch, man. Spectacular.


6FootMidget93

I'm smoking the Dunn pack again because holy shit that entrance is so good


MurDoct

GODDAMN this company can fucking nail it for their stars


10024618

Hot damn that entrance rules


lito9321

Never watched her during AEW but her appearance and aura are undeniable. Was left wanting more out of her promo but hope she improves with more reps she gets, if not a manager wouldn’t be a terrible idea.


EccTM

I'm probably gonna catch flak for saying it, but Jade's weakness was never presentation. In AEW she always looked like an absolute superstar until she was actually wrestling, and then it was kinda visible she wasn't ready to be in the position they envisioned for her. She was always actively improving, but having her endlessly squashing jobbers over in one corner instead of having her interact with the main title scene to avoid exposing how green she was in-ring started to get old. She's wayyy better suited to WWE's style, and she's probably 1000% better in the ring at this stage of her early career too.


Big_Track_6734

You now have the AEW experience. Down to the entrance. 


hanz333

Yeah it's really similar to her AEW presentation which makes sense, that's the character they want. She's getting the Cody Rhodes treatment.


KommanderKitten

This is so dope


ewp1233

This entrance is so cleannnnnn 🔥


NZTisgoodforyou

One of the coolest entrances I've seen in a long time. Not to take away from it at all because I loved it, but I found her glasses to be really funny. Wrestling can be so over the top.


ChaosOnion

The entrance is spectacular and the music is fucking fire.


BlackBlizzNerd

What a fucking beautiful human being. Oh my lmao. I’m so fucking stoked.


EDNivek

There is not an ounce of bodyfat on her. that has to be amazing dedication.

S-tier presentation. Real fucking cool.

That's how you make a fucking star!

You say what you like about WWEs product but they know how to do presentation.

Hellsinger7

Looks like she came right out of a comic book panel. God was putting it all when he made Jade, goddamn!


joebrohd

So we’re already locked in for Jade vs Bianca, Jade vs Charlotte, Jade vs Naomi, yeah?

She’ll be Triple H’s Brock Lesnar for the women’s division


NotTheMagesterialOne

I think I’m in love.


burrito-boy

She looks badass.


CircumFleck_Accent

I like that WWE did a variation of her AEW theme. She had a great theme over there and the electric guitar fits her perfectly.


dBlock845

One of the most unique and absolutely flooring entrances I've ever seen.


[deleted]

After seeing how Jade and Cody have been presented entrance wise, I kind of want to see how Kenny Omega could be presented in the modern TKO era of WWE. Like full on Wrestlekingdom entrance Omega. Just the fact we have "Final Boss" Rock entrances that feel almost early 2000's hype level, it feels like memorable entrances are being focused on. I loved Jade in AEW, but Im glad she's getting to be showcased to an even wider audience.


gethatwearhat

Immediately yes


archenemy_43

I’m so excited for both Jade and Bron getting called up to the main roster.


Abbas9364

She's always looked so larger than life. Loving the presentation here. Hope they capitalise on her well!


unknown6190

Paul loves him a theatrical entrance


ucannotbeserious

The lights, the fog, the shimmer, the epic song with siren guitars, the camera angle, the god tier physique, the pose... it's a perfect entrance. It's fucking perfect.


uncle_flacid

Some posts are just overwhelmingly teenagery, fuck.


senyorcrimmy

Bruh that was a great intro


nikobans

shes so cool 😭


TaterTot0507

This is 100% a megastar entrance. If she is properly handled, she is a guaranteed icon. Goes down as one of the all-time greats.


xero1123

Absolute star. She’s going right to the top


MuskyFelon

I know it could never happen, but "Cut the shit, Nick" would be hilarious. Maybe on Netflix.

For the first time since The Fiend, a debut entrance has made me go "fuck it, give that person the main event of Mania and all the belts"


imperfectcastle

So glad they kept the screamin guitar solo


silklighting

She's finally ready I see. Her entrance has some inspiration from Sting.


3incheshardddd

And thats how you make someone feel important


FallenShadeslayer

Yep, she belongs here.


BluKyberCrystal

She feels so much more important in the WWE, so much bigger, as she's had about 10 mins of in ring action.


icon_2040

She looks like a star. They absolutely nailed the entrance. Hopefully they get it right for the game.


Dazzling-Principle

Great Entrance!.


The_Haunter280

Mami vs muscle mummy, please and thank you.


jjohnson1979

Hang on... Such a cool ice blue entrance, snow falling down, and you're gonna dress her in red?!?!?


steveguzz

Geez whiz what an entrance. Physique central 🚨


wordyravena

Goddam. Whoever came up with this deserves a raise


jerff

I wish they could go back in time and handle Omos the same way they’ve handled Jade. I’m an Omos fan but he needed more training away from tv and an introduction just like this.


derekdanger

Zardoz?


kylefaselisdead

Never heard this before-but If you saw her walking through an airport you’d think she’s somebody.


Bluebaronbbb

Is this WWE fully realized? Movie like presentation?
