Emphesis mine. Charlotte's entire career on the main roster has been a tribute act to Ric Flair, and its painfully obvious all of her title reigns are because of that. I seriously doubt she would be anywhere near as prominent as she is without being related to him, to be honest.

At the same time, I get it from her perspective. Doing an homage to your dad in your character/moveset is a different thing entirely from having them drag your dad back out over and over to do storylines with him.

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.

Charlotte Flair can't be Charlotte Flair without Ric Flair being somewhere nearby. WWE law.


Maybe she should instead don a mask and work with a far better wrestler. Slapjack, for instance.

If they turn Miz and Morrison into zombies and have someone try to cure them I’d probably watch the YouTube recaps.

This is a job for the Fashion Police!

Seriously, I would watch the gently caress out of vignettes where Tyler Breeze and Fandango confusedly try to "cure" Miz and Morrisson of zombieness. Perhaps making friends along the way, perhaps setting up for a mildly entertaining midcard tag team match.

See, this would be good and funny and would make good use of their massive roster.

She'd probably be more popular if she ditched the Ric Flair Tribute poo poo and was just her own person. Like back when she was in NXT and it wasn't so shoved in the audiences face.

i went to one of these wrestling shows and it was... honestly? frickin boring. i wanna see ricky! i want to see his gold chains and respect for the ftw lifestyle
charlotte is ric flair's daughter, wears ring gear and entrance attire reminiscent of her father, uses some of her fathers mannerisms and moves/variations, was promoted for years as one of "the four horsewomen" although it wasn't exactly a stable, and her entrance theme is basically her father's music with some chonk chonk guitars and a booming dance beat

idk i mean theres a few things i would suggest

Brasky used to ride upon a steed, perchance to spy a lady.

Regardless of whether he agrees, I wonder how much of that "only 2 or 3 other women in WWE besides Charlotte can go 20" bit from his Hugo interview was Andrade parroting Charlotte.

100%? 1000%?

wrestlers using a remix of their dad's theme song is always a good thing to do and usually sounds awesome with added guitars or a stronger beat. it worked out really well for chris masters

All of it, and he likely believes it as well. He also said that all of the other women in the locker room were jealous of Charlotte because of her in ring work and character work (which he thinks is unrivaled) and her success, because no one can be on her level.

I'm sure Andrade will do well on the indies but the fact that he actively chose to wrestle Alberto Del Rio in a match shows he is pretty loving dumb in real life as well.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
At the PPV, Sheamus kicked Ricochet’s rear end and beat him cleanly. The follow up on RAW was Sheamus kicking Ricochet’s rear end even harder and beating him cleanly.

I like this feud.
