Would you be my new best friends?

Every bit of offense Ronda does looks good, it's still early enough in her career that I'd be more than happy with her destroying opponents easily for several months.

Emma, not Alicia.

It’s really not the same though. First they wrote in the mitigating factor with the ribs, and Alexa is a multi time champion while Emma was a jobber.

yeah your right what they did to asuka was even more hilarious jobberiffic

Ronda's offense is really good, she's crisp and clean with some of her moves, and she's coming along nicely by the performance part of it by getting into her matches. Good stuff.

They’ve had everyone tap immediately on the armbar.

I know Ronda has her fans but I have not seen a Ronda match that has convinced me she's good at this fake fighting thing

Of all the things I complain about the WWE loving up, I have no real complaints about Ronda. They're doing a great job with her and she's doing amazingly for how new she is.

Yeah, she has some really good stuff but they're not playing to her strengths. Honestly I'm not sure what they're trying to do.

She's really gotta come up with a more sports entertainment way of getting into the armbar than just "stand over them and gloat" every time.

Ronda built a rep for finishing matches quickly. I don't know why WWE just doesn't follow suit. Have Ronda kick the poo poo out of people, especially women a lot smaller like Alexa.

That way when someone like Asuka or Becky or Charlotte don't go down right away, it makes the match more special.

No she won't because...like...UFC and Vince respects that legitimacy more cause he's an insecure gently caress with issues and complexes and craves it for WWE.

Well I guess it's time to start 6. Just gonna skip 3, 4, and 5 because those aren't out in Kiwami form yet.

Unless a good match breaks out.

I don't even feel like they're doing a terrible job at that--like, this match had Alexa taking advantage of interference and damage they've been cheating to do to her for weeks, but when it came down to the one on one for the most part Ronda still trucked her, which is correct.
