BrigadierSensible posted:A lot of the Nia Jax hate comes from the fact that she has little to no charisma in the ring. You then add the fact that she has prominently injured more than one wrestler. Also she pulls rank like a respected locked room leader, when she's neither respected or a veteran. Like imagine if Titus tried to pull rank on rookies 5 years into his career. It is hilarious to me every time WWE only people try and pull rank. Double when it's commentary that act like every debut is a rookie, even if they've been wrestling since the early 2000s

In Vince's mind, (and the way he portrays it on TV and elsewhere), this is true. Nothing you have done elsewhere matters, or is of any worth except as a throwaway line to explain why HHH is all that much more tougher and cooler when he beats you. Relatedly, and somewhat contrarianly(?) I reckon Rhonda will be back in WWE on a big money contract where she will be able to do what she wants. Because she pulled a Brock. She left WWE on her terms, proved she doesn't need WWE. And has "mainstream" name recognition. Vince creams his pants over all of this.

Was it Ezekiel Jackson who tried to pull rank with Daniel Bryan by bullying him to get his plane seat, only to get told off by Regal?

How long do you have to be in the business to be considered a veteran? Also I think Steve would have done without getting his neck broken or committing domestic abuse, if he could change anything about his life.

Yeah that’s the poo poo that annoys me. She’s never had a match outside the bubble of wwe. She’s only ever trained in the cushy million dollar performance center, but she still talks like she’s some grizzled vet who’s done and seen it all while she also has no clue how to put together a compelling match. I’m not saying she has to have worked the indies to be a decent wrestler but there’s also a reason she hasn’t really improved in the amount of time she’s been there. It’s also not really her fault. Wwe just has a really bad development system and doesn’t have people to help people like Nia out. Mix that in with her being the rocks cousin and I’m sure you have all the executives backstage feeding into her ego and she starts believing her own hype.

He was the guy who threw Enzo off the bus and also seemed to give off that presence from that Aleister Black story where Roman told him he didn't need to keep cleaning the locker room. https://www.ringsidenews.com/2018/10/24/aleister-black-recalls-heartwarming-roman-reigns-story/ Says a lot about the character of both guys though lol that Black mentioned Seth/Bray/Finn as leaders. I think the latter 2 are probably great to work with and humble enough but Seth, wasn't he awkwardly pushed into that role and fumbled?
