Charlotte is rear end and she has the WWE to blame for me feeling this way about her

The Becky moment was really cool and a smart company would capitalize on it but WWE is just going to have her come out on Tuesday and poo poo all over the fans because they're dumb enough to think her pops will then transfer over to Charlotte, when in reality it will just make nobody care at all about the match.

She needs an acting coach or a mouthpiece like Paul. Being Flair's daughter and not inheriting any of his charisma or promo ability is just a cruel joke of nature.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation. I refuse to see Black Panther because they didn't ask the Black Ranger to be in it.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

It became almost comedic how Sasha would lose on PPV, then win the title on Raw, then lose it at the next PPV.

The Sasha wins on RAW were bonkers; I still love that "Bank Statement on the railing in the crowd" spot.

Then the Charlotte PPV wins were.........eh, just OK. Even with the stipulations.

Charlotte is good but WWE thinking sneaking her way into Becky's title match and literally stealing her win, leading to the crowd chanting "you deserve it" as Becky kicks her rear end afterword think's that's a way to keep her keeping any crowd sympathy is just another strike on the "these sociopaths don't understand how actual people think and what they like" card

Of course Becky's the bad guy. Her parents aren't famous, she's not blonde, and worst of all she had the audacity to be foreign

Becky is the best thing the women's division even has right now. Should be Asuka, but eh....we've discussed that to death.

Becky is just a damned good face and her wrestling holds up.

Uhh, IC title?

Also I'll go to bat for both of the DQ finishes given HIAC is next month. The only finish that I thought was irredeemable was Bryan/Miz (at least it wasn't clean? Sigh...)

Meltzer this morning said it wasn't a heel turn and WWE saw the reaction coming.

Makes sense given the sensitive to Becky TV build heading into the match.

And what seemed to be temporary cancellation of Bayley and Sasha breaking up.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Maybe Becky will be like Rusev:

Adorable, cool, good in ring and on mic, loved by audiences, but booked as heel because they are foreign and not thin and blonde, (or tall and muscly) enough to give Vince a boner.

Also, how long will Roman hold the belt? I could easily see BRAUN cashing in soon, and having Roman play the role of plucky underdog chasing the big scary meanie heel monster champ. But I can just as easily see Roman being the Big Dog that Vince has wanted him to be, and murdering a series of contenders thrown at him for an ungodly amount of time.

I mean , I care a little bit but not a super degree for the most part, it's just that my not caring is more "Oh cool I get to see this fun program continue. :)" and not "gently caress THIS poo poo" because generally that's the lens through which I try to view a fun but inherently silly form of entertainment like wrestling.

The only thing in WWE I was genuinely fed up with was Brock as champ and it's FINALLY OVER.
