She's transphobic? Godfuckingdammit. What's next, a flat earther too?

She also made some tweet about Sandy Hook being fake or what.

Edit: She retweeted a conspiracy video saying it was the government.

It was fine. What's a transphobe when the ring already had a nazi in there, a woman shamelessly using the corpse of her father that she hates Weekend at Bernie's style for money, and Alexa is from Ohio.

Unfortunately if you like wrestling you kinda have to just ignore most of the people cause 90% are garbage. Lot better than it used to be I guess.

Why the Ronda Rousey hate?

For me at least she's a transphobic Diaz hangaround and while the latter is personal preference the former kinda kills any respect I can have for someone.

I'm gonna say this was better because:

1. It gave us the Asuka/Ronda moment which was goddamn rad.
2. It gave us the visual of Asuka/Bliss and Ronda/Charlotte which I'm assuming is what we're going to get which is also cool.

I will say there is a feeling of looking at all four women and thinking "Wait, what the gently caress are the matches, here?!" that was pretty cool. Asuka can stay on Raw or jump to SmackDown, Rousey could beat either one for their championships, Carmella's still a wild card in this...there's a sense of curiosity that's cool.

1. Except it didn't because Asuka was invisible the second the dumb broad showed up
2. no it didn't becasue all the cameras did was dive up the washed up transphobe's butthole all the way to her finger so we could see her point at a sign that now means less than it did 5 minutes before when Asuka and Nakamura were gonna be cool and awesome.

now there's this dumbass in the way and I hope they boo her until she starts sobbing in some stupid rear end interview about how mean everybody is.

And Ronda's getting a lengthy title run

theoretically she can still challenge for one of the belts while QUEEN RONDA gets first dibs

but if any C or D list female celeb signs up between now and mania, Asuka is bumped off the card entirely

I enjoyed that PPV a lot. The men's rumble was great, the women's rumble was sloppy and uneven but got to the right finish. BRAUN was fun. Ronda Rousey will probably be fun, all in all. I am looking forward to Wrestlemania quite a lot and I haven't said that after like the last 3 rumbles. Good job, WWE!

pressedbunny: May 31, 2007; To A Brand New Galaxy

I wouldn't have minded Ronda turning up if they'd given Asuka and the others another minute, gone through her picking which champion to fight, etc, and if it wasn't so clearly implied that Ronda merely walking in is worth the same as Asuka beating 29 other women. If Ronda's taking on a champion, A) that's dumb, B) the Rumble result should have been given more space, or ideally you do Ronda on Raw instead. You don't go "wow, Asuka won the first-ever womens' Royal Rumble for a title shot... but gently caress that, here's Ronda Rousey, who will fight whichever other champion, too!"
