cm funk Posted February 11, 2021 Report Posted February 11, 2021 Apparently she was set to have a spin-off show before she started getting crazy about anti-mask stuff and STOP THE STEAL in the fall. This was the last straw. What an idiot. Quote

NintendoLogic Posted February 11, 2021 Report Posted February 11, 2021 I figured Tito Ortiz had an unassailable position as the dumbest person to come out of MMA (an incredibly high bar to begin with), but I think she managed to surpass him. Being handed a golden ticket and flushing it down the toilet by doubling down on chuddery is on another level. Quote

It'd be like Hulk Hogan vs. Zeus all over again. Gina would be the babyface, obvs. Quote

I mean, they did for a a little while at least. I remember her cutting at least one 'you people' promo on the crowd. Fans just weren't having it though. Quote
Badlittlekitten Posted February 11, 2021 Report Posted February 11, 2021 Today marks the two year anniversary of Becky's push circling down the drain. I'll never forgive 'em for it. 15 hours ago, Jmare007 said: Aw man, he's been disappointing there?? Imagine the Lana/Lashley wedding angle, but with zero stakes involved and all the campy sleaze sucked out of it and replaced by a plodding, drab, half baked storyline featuring vanilla scrubs that nobody could possibly care about. And stretch it out for five months and counting. Quote

Except he hasn't even been in the company for six months and most of the focus hasn't been on that wedding angle at all, actually there haven't been much angles about this (which is part of why it failed, although the wedding itself hasn't been good), the focus has been on a tag team feud against Best Friends and Orange Cassidy. Quote
Badlittlekitten Posted February 11, 2021 Report Posted February 11, 2021 Edited it. Five months and counting. There's no real focus, it's a mess. They had a chance to get some real fun out of it with a bachelor party and then Chucky T as the butler. But nothing. Quote

But nothing. Oh, I do agree about that. They did nothing with Chucky T, the wedding really wasn't good (come on ! a wrestling wedding ! so much they could have done). His booking has been mostly a miss, but there's still plenty of time. Quote
Badlittlekitten Posted February 11, 2021 Report Posted February 11, 2021 Yeah, I haven't written Miro off completely. I'm still rooting for him. I get not wanting to insert him into a main even program right off the bat, but it's like they went about it in the worse possible way. Quote
sek69 Posted February 11, 2021 Report Posted February 11, 2021 I remember back in her fighting days hearing people say Gina wasn't especially bright even by MMA fighter standards, and always thought it was just the bro culture of MMA upset that the wimminz were becoming stars, but now I'm looking at that real different.

Of course, it turned into more pettiness because that's what WWE does. Vince thinks Lana is too hot for Rusev? Writing is on the wall. Fuck if it hurts business, right? WWE shoots themselves in the foot more than any company I can think of ever has, including WCW & TNA. They've just came out on top twice with the cable TV boom & buying up the territories & then WCW running their can't-miss shit into the ground. That's really what WWE's legacy is, since Vince, Jr. took over. Cable TV WWF & then "winning" the Monday Night War, which they still reference twenty years later & haven't moved on from. Bobby Heenan before he passed said something to effect of You only have 20 years of Good ideas in Wrestling. Vince has been proving that for the last 20 years. Quote
SirEdger Posted February 11, 2021 Report Posted February 11, 2021 Pretty much on par with Cornette's other theory about every wrestling storyline recycled every 7 years. Quote
Strummer Posted February 11, 2021 Report Posted February 11, 2021 Per her twitter, Mia Yim and Keith Lee are engaged Quote
KawadaSmile Posted February 11, 2021 Author Report Posted February 11, 2021 She got married wearing Tims she's great. Speaking of good things, Xia Li's storyline with her master is actually a decent presentation of "spooky" stuff in wrestling. It looks menacing, Li being tough brings credibility and it's something that was well built up IMO. Quote
Badlittlekitten Posted February 11, 2021 Report Posted February 11, 2021 I forgot Mia was still employed. How Raw can have her, Shayna, Asuka, Charlotte, Nikki Cross, Naomi, Alexa and Mickie James in their division and it still be a complete dumpster fire is criminal. It's like they're going out of their way to fuck it up. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted February 11, 2021 Author Report Posted February 11, 2021 Isn't Edge booking RAW these days? Quote
Badlittlekitten Posted February 11, 2021 Report Posted February 11, 2021 When in doubt, blame Bruce. I think Edge is just booking himself to win Royal Rumbles. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted February 11, 2021 Author Report Posted February 11, 2021 Also remember when Mercedes Martinez was part of Retribution? Quote
Badlittlekitten Posted February 12, 2021 Report Posted February 12, 2021 Yeah. Respect to Mercedes for not wanting any part of that. I can see Uncle Paul giving her the NXT strap as a reward. Quote
NintendoLogic Posted February 12, 2021 Report Posted February 12, 2021 Remember Rhea Ripley? She's back, in Karen form! Quote
cm funk Posted February 12, 2021 Report Posted February 12, 2021 I like that a lot better than her recent look tbh. But her best look was the one she got over with before they massively dropped the ball Quote
Dav'oh Posted February 12, 2021 Report Posted February 12, 2021 "More like Charlotte, less like Pete Dunne, damnit!" Quote

KawadaSmile Posted February 12, 2021 Author Report Posted February 12, 2021 I kinda like it. If Karens had power that's what they would look like. Interesting concept! Quote
