Veda Scott

[6.0] "Great commentator for the indie scene in America. I am glad she gets lots of bookings. I am not familiar with her in ring wrestling, but I have much more respect for her for being a wrestler as well."

[2.0] "Whenever they're in the booth, I switch to a different Triller event. It's simple as that. Veda's vocal inflections do not lend appropriately to announcer work. Their voice is notably nasal & monotone, & whenever they're in a booth, they stick out like a sore thumb. They have two modes; "Bad-Schiavone-style flatly-delivered observations that add nothing to the overall presentation" & "OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! ". Both suck. I also can't stand how they insist on working numerous differing indie promotions, & everybody in the world seems to like them, & as such, literally almost all of the random shit I watch on TrillerTV+ is bound to have them on the booth. Their work as Moose's heel valet stands out as perhaps the only time I've ever actually really enjoyed things they've done. They can go in-ring. How great for them."

[8.0] "Veda was a capable wrestler, but never had a major standout match to point to. However, they are one of the hardest working names in indie wrestling commentary and excel at that role each and every time, and that is likely where they will be focusing their time in wrestling going forward - so this rating is more geared towards that."

[7.0] "I enjoy her commentary because she clearly loves wrestling and doesn't yell or take away from the matches."

[2.0] "Probably one of my least favorite modern commentators. She has the delivery of like a boring newscaster trying to be exciting. Anytime she is on paired with another commentator that is good, she brings it down. Everything is usually delivered the same, unless it is exciting, then she raises the volume, but it is just the same tone everytime. She kind of reminds me of a worse version of when Renee was on the commentary table for WWE, and that was bad. I don't get her vocal inflections and how somebody can keep the same emotion for every line of commentatary."

[1.0] "I do not like her commentary at all! Most of the time there is a lot of silence and it sounds like she is zoned out of the action and there is so much space if she is on a 2 person booth. In a 3 person booth she adds even less but she tries to add even less substance. Her commentary sounds like she is calling a golf game and not wrestling. She sounds like a very less exciting Suzyn Waldman from the Yankees broadcasts. Her voice and delivery can't be changed but the overall boringness isn't even added with useful insight. There is commentary or even interviews that sound dry but they add either more to the story or give productive insight on why moves work a certain way or how a competitor is feeling. Veda does none of these things!"

[7.0] "Never been a particularly big fan of Veda as a wrestler but as a commentator she's easily one of the best on the indies. No matter who she's paired up with she always has great chemistry with them"

[8.0] "I haven't seen her as a wrestler but as a commentator she is fine and has grown into a solid one. she still has her habits like saying "oh" alot but shes one of the better commentators on the indie scene. always welcomed when I tune in anywhere"

"I just Veda saw wrestle Sin Violet, I think her name was. Not sure how old the match is, but gotta say, I was pretty impressed. She's definitely got some skills."

[0.0] "One of the most annoying voices I've ever heard and I always get irritated whenever she starts talking. So much to the point where I would rather watch a wrestling event on mute so I don't even have to hear her. While her knowledge of wrestling is great, I wished her voice wasn't so painful to listen to. And not to mention she's always there anytime Speedball is on the card, which is getting repetitive. I dislike her so much that I'd rather listen to Kevin Patrick, and that's REALLY saying something."

[3.0] "Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard and she has no energy in the booth, there's no urgency or excitement to any of her calls. She sounds like she doesn't wanna be there which makes it even more infuriating that she's on every fucking indie show because she's dating Speedball. I'm giving her a 3 because at least she's articulate and doesn't slur her words like frequent co-commentator Alex Koslov"

[8.0] "If we're going by just commentary Veda Scott is fantastic. To my mind, one of the best unsigned commentators. They understand how to call wrestling in a spontaneous, illustrative and charismatic way. Helps you get involved in the match, and is particularly awesome calling women's matches. Absolutely loved listening to their insights during the AEW women's tag cup, Impact's Knockouts special in 2021 and for a slew of higher profile indies. Doesn't hurt that them and partner Mike Bailey are two of the nicest people in wrestling!"

[9.0] "I'm a big fan of Veda Scott. I'll agree that they're not a great worker (although far better than some commenters have made them out to be), but their charisma, mic skills, and intelligence make them an excellent fit for other aspects of the business.  They're an excellent character, manager, and commentator. Not everyone in the business has to be the one who'll deliver a five star match every time out, you know?"

[7.0] "They is like a 6-man in basketball, they are not the "person" that you want to be the "ace" of your women's division, however because of their intelligence, and talking skills they is most often the most important "person" in any division they are a part of. Their not the person who you can build around however they needs to be on the team. Edited to fit there preferred pronouns."

[7.0] "She is a sloppy wrestler, but she is very, very entertaining. One can only hope she is making the right connections to keep on moving up to bigger and better things."

[7.0] "I've only heard Veda as a commentator, but from what I've heard she's really excellent. I'd love to see her catch on with a major promotion full-time in that role."

[7.0] "Very entertaining wrestler many gimmicks in matches I have seen and this is a strong part of her character. I always think she works best when she has a tag team partner to bounce off too. Really good at putting other wrestlers over for sure."

[8.0] "People have already documented her shortcomings in the ring, and I will concede them. However, Veda has always made up for them by being one of the most creative and interesting people in the wrestling business in recent years. She can be funny or sting with criticisms and putdowns when she has the mic in her hands; always works the crowd, even with just gestures. Her ring attire is always changing and most are pretty unique. She takes a lot of chances in the ring, and her moveset is varied (if sloppy and lacking force). She's equally good as a valet, commentator, interview, probably as a ref as well, i dunno. I've just always liked her."

[2.0] "Veda Scott has a lot of charisma and personality, a sparkly young lady. Her wrestling absolutely brings her score down, she's weak, sloppy and unathletic. Never been impressed by her, at least not in a positive manner. She seems to have a lot of fun when she walks out, and the fans seem to have caught up to her gimmick."

[7.0] "Veda has proven herself on the indies as a capable in-ring performer against both female and male opponents, and this has already garnered her Women's Title reigns in both AIW and FWE, as well as a Tag Title run in AIW alongside Gregory Iron. However, her most prominent role thus far has been at ringside in ROH, and this may well be a showcase of her greatest strengths, parlaying her natural energy and strong mic work, as well as knowledge from her work as a real-life law student, into an entertaining managerial role as a conniving, manipulative heel lawyer character. She's a natural at getting heat from the crowd and not afraid to take a bump if need be, and you can't ask for much more out of a manager, and if ROH is serious about starting up its Women of Honor division, I don't doubt that she'll be able to transition seamlessly into that."

[3.0] "She is a smart girl and it shows during promos and segments. However, her work in the ring leaves a lot to be desired. I think she has a higher ceiling than she has showed us. And if she dedicates herself, maybe she gets there one day. She is an excellent valet."

[7.0] "She hasn't gotten to show off her excellent in-ring skills as much in Ring Of Honor as she has in Shimmer or SHINE, but she is enormously entertaining in interviews, promos, even commentary. She's a worthwhile addition to any company's roster, and she's only just getting started. I look forward to seeing bigger things from her."

[7.0] "I know Veda Scott has been wrestling for 2 years so she's relatively a rookie female wrestler in the wrestling business and there are things that she can improve on in her abilities, but for the most part throughout her time in ROH, she has done quite well for herself and has shown the ROH fanbase including myself that she belongs in ROH! For the longest time that Veda was an interviewer, I thought she was a great one! Now it looks like she's transitioning from being an interviewer to becoming more of an active wrestler in ROH and I hope that's the case cause she has a great look, her ring attire is very unique and it fits her character considering her background she came from before getting into wrestling, so both those qualities combined give her a look that's presentable on TV without a doubt! Plus even though Veda is still a rookie, I'll be honest, she's not too bad of a wrestler. So even though she's a pretty ok wrestler at best and her promos could be better as well (although she's not bad at cutting promos either), I feel she definitely has a place in Ring Of Honor regardless!"
