Are we just ignoring that Charlotte is actually a really loving good wrestler?

Not that Asuka is a good promo or anything but Charlotte is so bad on the mic it more than counteracts her ability as a wrestler

I was 7 hours into a wrestling, pizza, and PBR binge for the main last night, so I decided to go full masochist and try to watch it again

I made it about 30 seconds in before my attention fizzled and I started skipping through

It was loving lovely and bad and dumb

Why did they do this extra segment of Roman leaving the arena at the end

What the gently caress is this

Why did they do any of this

What was the point of any of this

I tried to skim all of it and best as I can tell it was mostly just WM fallout. But there was news in Brock re-signing.

I haven't seen people freak out this much about someone being buried when they clearly weren't in a long while. I had big hopes and dreams of seeing both Asuka and Shinsuke win last night, but I'm not upset with either outcome. Shinsuke is so loving charismatic and cool that he could make a really fun heel, and if the alternative is the streak being lost to Ronda then I'm way into Charlotte winning. They're two of the most no-nonsense wrestlers in the division, had a great match, and a no bullshit ending. The streak had to end sometime, and the only way it would have been better is if it was the main event of the show.

Charlotte can be both a good wrestler and a nepotism case. The women's division is not lacking in talent and there's a reason she's like the only person in it to get any sustained attention or accomplishments.

Yeah, I'm a fan of hers but I get why people are just kind of tired of her being on top and rankle at the inferred nepotism of it. Charlotte's good enough that she could stand to be out of the title picture for awhile and making things more interesting away from the belt.

Also some people are creeps and weirdos about it. But that's not uncommon around here with the ladies.

It could've been worse. Asuka could've been like Tatanka, who went undefeated for 2 1/2 years, before being beaten by a guy who was gone like 6 month later.

Most of Charlotte's failings on the mic is what she's given. You can tell when she's talking badly that she has no idea how to make any of it sound real or not lame.

I don't REALLY agree she has a very stilted SPEAKING PATTERN. Probably BECAUSE she has to recite lovely WWE writers' PROMOS.

Charlotte's biggest problem is that you cannot explain who she is or her personality without using the words "ric flair"

Ehhh I dunno. What was Ric Flair except a guy who wrestled great and won titles all thr time? She does the same thing as him, just thankfully without talking about Space Mountain. I mean, sure, it's easy to describe her as Flair's daughter but her gimmick is basically "a good wrestler."

So that Raw made it painfully clear that Roman is still the guy, which makes it a real shame that they Luger'd him and killed any chance of him becoming the guy last night.
