I dont want anyone to beat Asuka unless is Nikki at the moment. My guess is she's keeping the belt until after the MYC and the winner will get a title shot against her at the following Takeover.

The only way asuka should lose the belt at this point is an undertaker-esque gang murder that involves chloroform and lightning bolts. Or nikki beating her to death, either way.

Kenny's more of a living game character IMO. He used to be a bit more anime (then again I think he stopped using the shoryuken which was part of what made him a video game) I wish a wrestler was an anime. They'd be the greatest and also the worst.

When I first saw Tozawa in the CWC I thought he was pretty anime. He threw Gran to the corner, screamed

I remember Amber being okay at selling herself as a fiery baby face in the indies, the pseudo—supernatural thing was a botch tho.

I don't think her gimmick got any more thought than "Twilight was popular a few years ago"

Ember's an anime D&D nerd who pulled from that for the look. Clearly no one had a clear idea what to do for her character outside of her look and entrance though. I still like her but when you have Asuka and Nikki selling their characters so well it shines an unflattering light on Moon.

It feels like they had some kind of really deep, high-concept supernatural idea for Ember's gimmick, planned out this whole backstory and everything, wrote entire storylines, designed a costume. Then she walked into the building and they realized she couldn't talk for poo poo, so they dropped everything but kept the red contacts for some reason. Good music tho

In her last year or so in the Indies, Ember was coming out to the Rains of Castamere with a Game of Thrones flag. I asked her at a show one time what the gimmick was supposed to be about (since she didn't wrestle any differently) and she said, "It's because I really like Game of Thrones." I'm guessing her WWE character is a similar story.

Yeah, she seems like the kind of person who spends hours drawing their D&D character in the little space on the character sheet, but then when the DM asks her what her backstory is, she goes "I'm a half-elf".

Ember Moon is awesome. At the time of her signing, I'd rank her in the top 3 of active american female wrestlers on the indies. I do think creative has let her down a little though. Athena, wrestling warrior/goddess was a better character for her. I wonder if wearing those red contacts makes it harder to wrestler at all.

St Evan Echoes posted:Hot take: Ember has a better finish Her finish is likely to gently caress up her hips or, i dunno, tailbone in the long run Kenny's is probably pretty safe for him, although a botch might legit murder his opponent

Her finish is effectively a leg drop. Hulk Hogan did a leg drop for 75 years and still had the hip mobility to bang his friend's wife then lie about it to get Gawker shut down.

Everyone knows flips increase impact, dummy.

Aphrodite posted:Everyone knows flips increase impact, dummy. Yes, that was the point being made, that the flip off the top means it could be doing the same amount of damage as Hogan's because the dive increases the force in the same way as Hogan's weight. Now it is you who is the dummy.

Grabbing her opponent on the way down probably takes away a little of the impact though

Ember Moon is the best female athlete in WWE and she comes off as being badass when she does her intro and cuts promos. It doesn't matter what all the Becky Lynch and Deonna Purrazzo fanatics of the world have to say about her.

Her match this week was good and I like that she was a bit more violent and energetic. I'd like her to have a 2nd finisher though, it gets real clunky when the loser has to stumble across the ring to the corner in order to sell the finisher poorly.

# ? Jul 28, 2017 03:12 |

Honestly, just let her hit it as a normal stunner when she's beating some random job-girl, and then she can bust out the super-version to murder real challengers.
