If they channel Sting/Vader or Awesome Kong/Gail Kim then that might be interesting, but I have zero faith the match won't fall the hell apart.

I love how Wrestlemania has slowly been morphing from the one reliable show where the right things happen, to now where it's just Vince McMahon taking a poo poo in our mouths for 7 hours straight.

Alexa said in an interview that she thinks the next big goal is a women's main event at Wrestlemania. And lo, the digit on the monkey paw did curl, and the 'ownership of womens revolution on a pole' match was set in stone.

Oh my loving god they really are going to have Steph beat Ronda just so that Steph can get her back for that one Wrestlemania lmao

I mean, how many casual fans even remember that? It wasn't a very good segment. They could have just never mentioned it again and Steph would be fine. She is just that petty of a person lmao

Wait, who would Hunter and Shane be working? I'm not doubting that they could have matches, but Trips hasn't really been hinting at anything, and I doubt they can drag the Owens thing out that long for Shane.

I feel like even if Stephanie got herself a Ronda Rousey vanity match, she's not winning through anything but extreme heeling.

What was the last really effective babyface build that WWE managed? As in, intended to get someone over as a face AND got a great reaction? I'd say Nakamura in NXT, but honestly, he didn't need any build beyond being Shinsuke Nakamura, and giving them credit for not trying to actively sabotage him until he hit the main roster seems like faint praise.

That's fine as long as it doesn't make Kairi look like a chump.

I doubt they did the Candice angle just to have Shayna win completely clean.

They'll do a ref stoppage from ground-and-pound, just to make it extra clear that Kairi sucks and suck all heat from the finish.

If we're talking WWE as a whole, I'd say DIY and/or Johnny Gargano.

If they'd trained the audience (assuming any of them stay to watch the match) to react to stoppages, then maybe. More likely you'll get dead silence as people wonder what the gently caress just happened.

This is likely my fault for mentioning NXT with Nakamura, but I was meaning main roster. Though DIY is a really good example of doing it well.

If we're talking just main roster, the last real babyface to get reactions was probably Dean Ambrose before Brock hosed his momentum. He still had good reactions after, and his WWE title run was pretty decent outside of the Dolph match, but he was super hot before WM32.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
I don't know what's more silly, that the McMahon's think they're a major draw or that they think Rhonda Rousey in 2017 is a major draw. MMA fans absolutely hate the WWE and still hate Lesner and unlike WWE fans aren't likely to hate-watch the WWE after one of their people show up on the broadcast.

I'm guessing the idea is going to be, thanks to Steph's delusions of being a great heel, that MMA fans will watch something they don't care about if it means seeing a Fake Wrestler getting beat up by An Actual Fighter. Or Ronda getting cheated out of an obvious victory by a dastardly cheater. That MMA fans don't give a crap about either of those things in a wrestling context is just one of the many problems.

PWInsider:

quote:

The current plan for former WWE NXT Women's champion Asuka is for her to debut on the Raw brand, PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple sources.

Asuka is currently out with a collarbone injury but is slated to appear on the WWE live events in Japan next week, which are Smackdown-branded events.

WWE will be helping to promote her debut with a planned WWE Network Collection of Asuka matches, which will debut on the streaming service in October.

So Asuka will be on RAW, and probably debut at or after TLC.

Ronda doing the media rounds for Mania will be good for business and tapping out Stephanie (who the fans in attendance will hate) is better than bringing in an outsider for a one shot to destroy an actual wrestler
