The whole "Kenny only books his fetishes" take is some lame, eye-rolling Cornette shit. Dude worked with the joshi wrestlers for years. He's probably more familiar than them than most of the other women on the roster. It was clear from all the early pressers that he wanted to make joshi a focal point of the division, hence Riho getting a push early on and Emi Sakura getting some decent airtime, Emi's highly respected in joshi circles and trained loads of the joshi women that were booked early on.
But then the pandemic hit and Shida was the only one who had actually moved stateside to work in AEW full time. It's fine that she's been pushed hard, I think she's really good. But Kenny hasn't done a good job of using the rest of the talent available to him. Toss in the fact he has to awkwardly shoehorn Brandi into angles now and then, and yeah. Women's division easily the most disappointing thing about AEW so far.
