I've been to a handful of house shows, and honestly it was always cool to see Cena there. He works hard and is a bigger star than everyone else they have. He also always gets a huge reaction which is fun.

I would be absolutely shocked if this did not happen. This should be the time to create young stars and have them hold the title. But NOPE, back to rapadoo.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

I don't think she's a bad promo at all. People get carried away with "lol she doesn't speak English lol" because of her accent, but she's fine. She's about on level with all the other women, and none of them are really stand-outs.

I think I'd blame the writing staff more than anything else. I've seen the Bellas in person give a really good promo, but then it was edited to hell for Smackdown which makes me think a lot was unscripted.

But yeah, some of her outfits are really bad. She's super pretty and super fit and she wears some unflattering, ugly colors.

She's better than most of the women. Especially when it comes to her acting and reactions. People well the few here who aren't just trolling for the sake of trolling about it don't seem to be paying attention to her most recent stuff.

Wrestlers are not actors and it's been proven and time tested over and over again throughout the years that they work best when they're not scripted, this isn't some sort of doublethink conspiracy.

Andy Warhol once said something to the effect of, "Anyone can direct a mediocre film but it takes a true talent to make an amazing or a wretched one," which I feel applies here. That said, her puns are genuinely masterful.

Some wrestlers are also just bad both ways because speaking in front of a large group of people and sounding natural is a really tough thing to do.

I think it's more complex than that.

Some wrestlers are terrible with no script. Handing them a great script would help them a lot. Unfortunately no one worth a drat would want to write for WWE, or if they do they get ran off immediately.

In an ideal world they would write for the guys who need it and let the guys who can go do their own thing. But WWE is far from an ideal world.
