Where are all the bad alexa fans? Is it twitter? Cuz the guy that posted a picture of ALEXA sliced into his arm was twitter.

There was a lovely wrestle forum posted in the 'stupid opinions' thread but those guys don't seem to like Alexa much.

Don't say I am the bad Alexa fan, I am extremely good.

Given the choice between Nia and like half of the other women's rosters including people like Tamina and every non-Ruby Riott Squad member, I prefer Nia. idk if I'd call that liking or being a fan of her though

lana was a big part of the act when rusev did his big us title run, it's only that insane hot summer angle with dolph and then pairing her up with tamina instead of back with rusev that made her look worse

I think even more than the Tamina thing was what happened after she debuted in a championship match. She looked okay in that match, but with the impression of 'welcome to the division, you aren't at the championship level, but might be in the future'. A character you can invest in, Lana slowly becoming a better wrestler. And then they had Naomi beat her again, but easier. Then they had Naomi squash her. WWE just changed the message to "Lana sucks, don't invest in her. She's going to be mentored by this person who sucks even more".

Bayley never denied any of those people weren’t who they said they were. Canonically all true.

So easy to not kill the Bayley character, and yet look at what they did and continue to do.

Remember when Miz brought out John Cena's college girlfriend and his best friend and told everyone how they were cucking John behind his back and Cena just looked sad and walked to the back?

Oh, wait that didn't happen because they want Cena to be over

(Also remember how completely they killed Zack Ryder's push by having Cena steal his girlfriend and let him get murdered by Kane?)

Lana wrestling was only for a Total Divas storyline where she’s an unbelievable rear end in a top hat to everyone telling her that maybe she’s not Asuka yet.

Also as part of that storyline, it was punishment. Lana botched being pinned, and had a shoulder up. She tweeted out a screenshot of that without permission, so they gave her another match but had her lose even easier.

His second reign was cut short (the cash in suitably stopped events), but I truly hope that he keeps up the tradition of doing his stupid hardcore dance belt waving every time he wins the big belt.

Him doing that at Wrestlemania was adorable :3:

I like how Iron Sheik literally only won that match because he was too decrepit and broken down to bump over the top rope

Just watched Angle vs. Benoit from Royal Rumble 2003- aside from being a great match, man were Taz and Michael Cole great.

Taz added colour, experience, carried himself like a tough guy astoundingly well; Cole was a professional, well informed, passionate. They had a dialogue with each other, continuing each other's points, talking back and forth, but they also seemed like friends who liked each other and loved wrestling. They seem head and shoulders above the present commentators.

I didn't take it personally, it's just mentioned a lot and I haven't really seen anything out of the ordinary. There's the usual horndogs salivating over her butt and posting old bikini pics and whatnot, but I think that's true with every woman. It's a common enough sentiment that I assume there are some real lovely fans out there, but I haven't found anyone worse than the average internet wrestling fan.

I DID however just google "alexa bliss reddit" and found this gif so I'm sharing it. Braun should teach Alexa how to kip-up (wont display in my post for some reason)

The lowest live viewers. The whole thing has been remarkably consistent overall, especially for a US only platform, but it's the live number they're interested in.

I guess because VOD views can be as short as 3 seconds to count, with the live number you can always take whatever it dropped to at the lowest and say more than that many tuned in.
