Imagine being a huge fan of a company and working your rear end off to make it there only to realize it is a predatory and uncaring meat grinder run like it's the mob and your don is a senile steroid-retarded muscleman fetishist.

If Bayley was influenced by Eddie Guerrero and didn't realize wrestling is a destructive drug-filled industry, maybe the This Is Your Life segment was supposed to make her look smarter than she is.

If you get into the company after seeing what it's done to Punk, AJ Lee, Barrett, and people like Bayley who are Still There, I don't know how you don't expect this as the default

If it doesn't break you, you got off lucky

One of the biggest factors in wrestling is how well creative and booking cover up a wrestler's flaws and accentuate their strengths, hence why The Shield was an amazing vehicle for Roman, why Brock has for most of his career been paired with someone who does his talking for him and why they paired Daniel Bryan with Kane so he'd gradually get taller, and every once in awhile you get a really special circumstance like this where not only are they going out of their way to not do that, they're actively taking someone's strengths away from them until nothing is left but the deflated husk of a tube man.

This is a company that told us that both Molly Holly and Mickie James were fat and therefore hideous and therefore unfuckable, and therefore worth less as human beings.

So yes, given that Bayley isn't blonde, nor has had enhancement surgery, I can happily say that they think that nobody would ever have been attracted to her.

man, I was a lovely teenaged dude when the MOLLY HOLLY IS FAT stuff started and even then I was just deeply confused and irritated

It's "neat" when they maintain their fiction throughout their day to day life, but I would never ask them to.

I mean, I'm not expecting her not to ride in the same car as Alexa to preserve kayfabe for the sake of random fans in the street or whatever, but the official WWE twitter accounts are consistently in-character. I believe several wrestlers even have second Out Of Character accounts specifically because they're expected to keep their WWE profile in-character. The announcers regularly reference the official twitter accounts for plot points and WWE.Com displays recent updates, the company clearly considers them part of the overall fiction they put out. If all of that weren't the case and the twitter accounts were just theirs I would agree, but given all those facts a tweet like that is a pretty major immersion break. Strowman isn't tweeting video of him goofing around with Roman on the weekends.

In character Nia is great and sweet and doesn't actually wish ill on anyone at all, she's just big and strong and destroys them by mistake like Hugo the Abominable Snowman.

Tamina's the one who destroys them on purpose which is also great.

Not to mention it's​ a dumb analogy because it wouldn't mean poo poo.

When Bayley makes 10s of millions of dollars and realises she doesn't need the WWE's poo poo. Right now she financially sure as poo poo isn't CM Punk.

dsriggs posted:

In fairness, Mickie James was heels bullying her, so we were supposed to think that was bullshit. No excuses for babyface Trish bodyshaming Molly, though.

The plotline was made because WWE thought that she was, and it bled through. She really didn't get as much comeuppance as you'd want for a bullying storyline.

VJeff posted:

I really wish she'd go "I'm married, moron." at this point.

I wish that she'd claim a lot of the bullshit Alexa has said about her was lies, but that hasn't happened. 'Bayley: this is your life' is canon. Why don't heels make up bullshit just because they're jerks any more?

Xavier Woods plays videogames against his mortal enemies for our amusement. Nia Jaxx is in a weird position of straddling horrible monster and cuddly body positive rep. There are no rules for social media, outside of the rules for social media.

Nia was also on the PPV pre-show and came off as genuinely cheering on her friend Alexa rather than being a heel tearing down Bayley.

And she always has like big happy smiles in her promotional pictures. She seems too nice to play heel.

Alexa has a sweet face and personality outside of a WWE ring and can still be one of the better heels on the roster.
