Although that's certainly not her, everything that I've seen of Yuka is that she's a bit of a little poo poo.

There's a reason when a women's match comes on 9 times out of 10 I'll use that time to go take a bathroom break or go fetch a snack or something, ignoring the existence of their matches as anything beyond background noise is just better for my mental health It's a shame too cause it was the Women's Division that helped catch my attention when I first got into Wrestling back in late 2015/early 2016(I forget exactly when), at the time it seemed so exciting seeing the sheer athleticism they had and the soap opera drama was actually interesting when you were seeing it for the first time before you eventually realized that even by Professional Wrestling standards the writing for the women is extremely one note and repetitive

He's never getting anything again, and he's too in love with them to sign elsewhere despite it

Roman is in Jinder Mahal territory now with how often he gets saved by interference. Meanwhile Lashley lost the opportunity to have his cronies at Wrestlemania and responded by....beating Drew clean in the middle of the ring? Weird booking to get there. Too many heel victories but I did like the ones that were clean like Lashley and Sheamus. A dude literally running in at the last second like the Crews and Roman matches is just deflating Nitro poo poo.

So it might have been pointed out already, but if you wrestle for WWE, don't put forth more than the minimum amount of effort into your job. It's pretty obvious you won't get rewarded for it. Drew, Sasha, Bayley, and Asuka all carried this loving company through the pandemic and all of them lost in some shape or form at Wrestlemania. Just stay at home or only show up to work every other month and you are more likely to get a major win at Wrestlemania.

It's kind of funny how much they've stopped caring about making things look special or finished well or whatever. I feel like if this was in another era of WWE, they wouldn't have had such an obvious door on the back of the box (like structure) or the basic-rear end caster wheels on the bottom.

I'm not crying any tears for Drew, Sasha, and Asuka who have all stayed in relatively prominent spots in the last year and at least got loving matches on the show. Bayley was one of the best things in this company all year and being relegated to doing promos with Hulk Hogan and then getting beat up by the Bellas is doing her real dirty imo.

I'd call her feud with Sasha to be one of the best angles/payoffs in recent memory, the slow burn storybuilding where she gets more and more jealous, people knowing it's coming but not knowing when, and when the snap finally happened it owned hard

If I couldn't run a wrestling show in front of a live crowd for a year and change, and if my fans were risking Covid-19 to come see my first show, and if lapsed fans were tuning in partially for the presence of a crowd. I probably would have focused on things that would have made them cheer and give a positive vibe to my company that can finally be heard through organic people but what do I know.
