I don't think they ever did Miss Elizabeth up real fucky. She was always shown as a nice lady instead of a lewdy tune like Luna or Sherry.

I always saw Miss Elizabeth, and her WWE portrayal, as the "Madonna" side of the misogynist Madonna/Whore sexist dichotomy.

Also a problematic issue with the way she was presented in WWE was that she never actually did anything. Ever. Her job was to be at ringside, look pretty and occasionally be look concerned when Macho was losing. Either that or be the sweet innocent powerless damsel in distress that could be rescued/fought for by Macho.

I sometimes wonder, what would it look like if WWE tried to portray that kind of character these days, (the pretty, innocent woman as valet to a big star.) Because every female Valet they have had recently has been an evil conniving bitch, (Lana, and Zelina for example), and the last "innocent" women they tried to push was when they ruined face Bayley on the main roster, and ages before that when they had stupid dancing Emma and the romance with Santino Morella.

the guy ok'ing the characters and angles doesn't believe "just nice" is a positive trait.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Shida actually is a weird case as she fell into wrestling entirely by accident, she was a model and actress who got cast in a movie about pro wrestling so went to train for her role and now here we are.

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

They're gonna tie it into the storyline. Omega is going to abduct the newborn to try and indoctrinate it into the elite. The plan will not work because it is a baby.

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.
I hope Mizuki sees this and they into into an arms race of overly complicated Whirling Candy variations until Rey Fenix just does something that shouldn't even be possible

If they're only that far along then he won't need paternity time off until likely 2022 so he can easily take the belt off Kenny in September and have a decent reign until the next Revolution.

When someone begins a sentence with "I wonder if", I don't see it as baseless speculation

If he said something like "Hangman having a baby might stall plans for his feud with Omega" then yeah that's baseless speculation

I believe it's standard to take paternity leave after the birth of the child.

have you ever built a crib? Those motherfuckers are an entire weekend.

e: also I think a lot of dads are projecting because we didn't get enough paternity leave. Esp if the baby is a complicated one.

Also depending on the family support situation it may not be necessary or desirable for the dad to be sitting around the house for months on end. A few weeks off TV, then fly them in for Wednesday, send them home after the show.

My wife and I work for the state and had to use my sick leave for paternity leave along with FMLA. But then the state, while my wife and I were out, tried to make us split the leave. They tried to make her come back after like 3 weeks instead of the 3 months she was down for. We had to threaten legal action to get the HR to back off.
