I actually kinda dug Charlotte before. I thought her face turn when she went to SmackDown was good and the moment where she won the title from Natalya before Survivor Series and Ric came out and they hugged was really cool. And the match with Asuka was really good and I actually sorta bought her as The Woman for real. After WM34, I was like "Yeah, okay, Charlotte vs. Rousey, let's do it." Then they fuuuuucked it all up. Am I alone on this? I honestly thought Charlotte's run as top face on SmackDown was pretty effective right up until the day after WM34. rovert posted:Charlotte the person is the least second/third generation wrestler there is when she first showed up to developmental and to date. The anti-Randy Orton. She's a bag of nerves and afraid of her own shadow. She is Becky's biggest supporter and during Becky's more fallow periods in 2016-7 she was the first ask creative/WWE "what about Becky" and that they should include Becky in her angles. You can see her visibly beaming when Sasha won the belt for the first time too. I still think that was one of Charlotte's best nights ever. She put Sasha over about as hard as she could. Also she made the best ugly heel face ever.

Charlotte has been intolerable ever since she beat Asuka.

No that's legit. The Smackdown run helped her a lot they just killed it by inserting her into the Becky Carmella Summerslam match.

Raskolnikov38 posted:charlotte's great and it loving sucks that WWE is booking her like reigns. thankfully vince's short attention span when it comes to the women's division means this won't be a drawn out 4 year process at least It's funny because if the pattern holds, we'll likely get Charlotte vs Ronda as the main event of Wrestlemania next year. Which means we'll get a WWE star vs a UFC star (albeit different ones) in the main event again. I'm starting to think Vince's obsession with Roman main eventing Wrestlemania has less to do with Roman and more along the lines of him wanting to run a WWE vs UFC main event every year for the major shows. Regardless, I don't see Charlotte winning the title back, but the feud will be run until shortly after Evolution. WWE will probably run Ronda vs Becky at Survivor Series, where Becky will most likely get destroyed by Ronda. After that, who knows what will happen with ol Becky. As there aren't many PPVs left until Wrestlemania at that point, and there will likely only be two televised title defenses before then, assuming they keep the pattern to only defending the title on PPVs. For those curious, this is the upcoming PPV schedule (after Evolution): November: Survivor Series December: Tables, Ladders, Chairs January: Royal Rumble February: Elimination Chamber (has yet to be announced, but is likely) March: No PPV April: Wrestlemania 35 Out of all the PPVs listed above, I imagine the Smackdown Women's Title will only be defended at TLC and potentially Elimination Chamber. I can see them using the Chamber match as a way to determine Becky's #1 contender for Wrestlemania as well. DarkstarIV fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Oct 3, 2018 |

There is really no reason for Charlotte to get the push she's gotten. She isn't a big draw, she doesn't sell lots of merch, she isn't the best in-ring worker, she isn't the most charismatic, and she isn't very good on the mic.

That crumb that loving crumb is what keeps me paying attention. I don't think Becky vs Ronda will be very competitive. It will probably be decent, provided its rehearsed enough. But it seems like they want Ronda to be a huge badass for Charlotte to topple at Wrestlemania next year. As for Ronda herself, I think her biggest obstacle coming up will probably be Shayna after Evolution. I don't think (nor should she) Shayna will win the NXT Women's Title back at Evolution. I imagine after that, she'll move up to the main roster and tag (and eventually feud) with Ronda to keep her busy until Wrestlemania.

Becky vs. Rousey should easily be Rousey's best match so far because it'll be the first time they've put her with somebody that A) Is a credible opponent for her, B) Can work. No offense, Foxy.

For me, Charlotte is the female Reigns because I find her incredibly boring and only sit through her matches if I have no other choice. Doesn't help that she's basically dominated the title scene on every show she's been on since her debut.

fatherofmustard posted:SSD looks pretty good on paper. Main event is probably gonna be a car crash, but it might be a fun one, who knows. Lashley and Cena vs. Elias and Owens will probably be really loving good when Cena and Owens are in the ring and really loving dreary and boring at all other times. Bryan vs. Miz is as predictable as it gets and not even the fact that it's Daniel freakin' Bryan can save it for me at this point. Shield vs. The Braun Boys six-man could be absolutely nuts. All six guys can work and it has some intrigue going into it. If they just let them go at it, this'll probably be MotN easy. Bellas and Rousey vs. Riott Squad might have Brie kill herself or someone else, which is...compelling? I guess? AJ vs. Joe should be great, all of their matches so far have been. Cedric's reign sucks and he's lost all goodwill he ever had with me. Buddy, Gulak, Ali, loving Gillberg, somebody just loving end this wooden nightmare already. New Day vs. Da Bar is always incredible, this will be too. Absolutely no idea what to expect out of Asuka/Naomi vs. Iiconics. At least Asuka's on the card, I guess. I just wonder if Australia will cheer Becky and crap on Charlotte as much as America does. So yeah on paper there's more good than bad, but well, on paper WM34 looked loving incredible.

Re: WWE ratings dropping on the complete other opposite "pro wrestling" as a whole is on the rise, heres some recent articles from here down under https://tendaily.com.au/news/sport/a181002qkg/youregonnanoticeus-pro-wrestlings-epic-rise-down-under-20181002 http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-10-01/women-wrestlers-want-to-fight-men-not-same-as-domestic-violence/10304206 so WWE is declining but pro wrestling itself is rising but they're insisting that the demos are all that matters... yeah this makes no sense because a rising tide should lift all ships but we have the biggest ship in the dock taking on water

The IIconics are a lot of fun. I wish I knew what I meant.  I have supported them early on. They're basically like LayCool or a variation of the Bella Twins. A 2 person act. Perhaps one will have a HBK-Janetty like break up and go on to dominate the women's wrestling scene.

Lid posted:Re: WWE ratings dropping I've been thinking about this for a while and I think that for all that WWE and "Sports entertainment" have claimed over the years that they've surpassed Pro Wrestling I think Pro Wrestling has definitely surpassed Sports Entertainment in terms of modernity. WWE looks old fashioned and out of date compared to pretty much every pro wrestling company that isn't trying to mimic WWE. The Storylines in WWE are all rehashes of the ones you've seen before and the in ring style is a toned down version of 2004-2012 Indy Wrestling.
