She was a loser who lost all the time then too. Come to think of it, so was Zelina!

I didn't watch but the Reddit consensus seems to be that Liv was sloppy in the title match and it exposed her as NOT READY (?) but also Becky's heel turn has completely failed as she comes out to huge pops and then deflates the crowd with "YOU PEOPLE" and "THIS TOWN" bullshit. The only things I've seen of Becky's current run are 1) the Bianca squash (very bad) and 2) the Survivor Series match (good). I guess I can appreciate WWE not just completely running THE MAN stuff into the ground upon her return because that was so cool at the time. I guess it's just Internet fans that have soured on the 4HW because they're all still over as hell, it seems. My brain turns off during a lot of Charlotte's character stuff, mostly because of the way she's booked. She's obviously a better heel than face but THE QUEEN stuff is pretty grating. As a casual/occasional watcher, I have no idea what Sasha's alignment is week-to-week. She can obviously go and tell a story in the ring. Sasha/Bayley at Takeover really got me back into wrestling. And on that note, I'm curious what they do with Bayley upon her return. Her money-printing face run that everyone predicted never really panned out but she turned out to be a solid heel champion. Was it just Sasha that requested her release after that WM where they lost the tag belts? I'd love to see Bayley and/or Sasha could do in AEW. Like, a two-year run and they can go back to the Fed if they want (or maybe they'd be locked out for both being 30+ by then).

Sandman McMahon posted:It sums up The Miz’ career pretty well imo I disagree - he became a professional wrestler, headlined Wrestlemania as a champ, married a smoking hot blonde, and pretty much has a job for life. If anything, the Miz won. He found his niche, played it well, and got it all. I never want to see him wrestle, but he got those WWE dollars.

The funniest idea to me is that Bayley was ever good as a face and that her learning disability Napoleon dynamite character gimmick would have ever been over outside of that specific NXt audience at the time which was full of some of the dumbest fans around and it was like the same 300 morons weekly. The loving side pony tail and the adult baby gimmick like, it was way too lame for kids, and way too stupid for adults the only people who thought it would work were grown men who had bizarre confidence in what actual children might like, and they were extrenely wrong as she went to the main roster and died instantly. Now she’s one of the best workers and promos they have, thank god the Eugenette thing ended.

Dr. Mantis Toboggan posted:Wasn't Nikki the Raw women's champion like literally 4 months ago? She won the MITB Briefcase in a cluster gently caress finish where everyone else was sleeping at the end. Then won the championship with a cash in, and then then the story leading up to her one and only title defense where she lost was her getting beaten up by Rhea and Charlotte repeatedly, questioning if she could even win the match. And people wonder why they think she's a loser. Even the built up to Nikki winning MITB was this weird thing where she had Beat The Clock Matches against Charlotte/Rhea where she won by just... running out the clock.

JUNGLE BOY posted:I was just getting back into wrestling around the time she got to the main roster and I could not understand why people liked this gimmick one bit. There was this weird thing where people looked at Bayley (even on SA) and went "She could be the female Cena!", but I think only based that on them both having colorful merchandise and going "Kids are going to love that, just like Cena!" and not because of, you know, actual popularity outside of Full Sail. I think Bayley's gimmick is one that you need to see its rise to get behind the character, and that doesn't transplant itself onto the main roster well where a fraction of the audience saw it. It's very similar to American Alpha, where part of the charm was seeing Jason Jordan go through all these Tag Team partners until he finally clicked with Gable. Then you see them on Smackdown for the first time and it just seems like a rip off of The Worlds Greatest Tag Team.

Yeah the trick with Bayley in NXT was there was a very uncomfortable spot early on where folks were thinking "Oh dear, it's Eugene all over again", but the regularity of the crowd and the growing familiarity moved past that initial space and it became more about "The heart of a child", the sheer pure joy of life and experience and HUGS! Hugs are nice everyone should get a hug! It was for a lot of people the second coming of Surfer Sting. Just pure white meat babyface fire, kid friendly but with enough intensity in the ring to be exciting for folks who like workrate. She even had the whole Sting gimmick of terrible taste in friends. So it was less about "Gosh this colourful gimmick will work" and more "drat when they find the right program that showcases all of this Bayley is going to loving explode because there aren't enough wholesome face gimmicks", which of course ignored the fact that Vince doesn't know how to do wholesome and sees that as stuff to mock and bury (see Nikki ASH).

They were even telling that story, sort of, with Sasha helping Bayley get one over on conniving superheel Charlotte to win the title. But then they made Bayley sorta unlikeable because Sasha was cheating and Bayley was cool with it, then added Nia to the whole thing for some reason, then drew out the will-she-won't-she Sasha turn thing, and then switched Alexa over to RAW and.....well you know how that ends They didn't give babyface Bayley time to breathe before moving onto another thing, then another thing, then another thing.
