In all fairness, whether you like Alexa Bliss or not, I think we all can agree that she's quite good in the ring and exceptional on the mic

Is she really that good in the ring though? sure she's better than Nia but does she do things, Mickie or Emma Cant? That's a debate....
I Actually think she's average at best myself... but maybe that's just me...?

In all fairness, whether you like Alexa Bliss or not, I think we all can agree that she's quite good in the ring and exceptional on the mic so the push she is receiving at the moment shouldn't come as a surprise; especially in regards to promos, I honestly don't think anyone from the current roster can top her. In other words, I feel Alexa has the whole package.
No...I don't agree...

Compared to some of the other women on the current roster...
Alexa is actually one of the worst in-ring workers.

She has a great look, she carries herself well, excellent mic
skills (which basically means she can make the lines written
for her seem natural...unlike some of the other women)...but
honestly...her ring work hasn't improved and she seems to
struggle to find any in-ring chemistry with anyone.

Is Alexa better then Sasha as far as the in ring performance? Nope, Sasha Banks is obviously better but, once again, that mic work is just as important and as we all know, sometimes its even more important than pulling off a few fancy moves during a match. I mean, Apollo Crews is also amazing in the ring, a very talented athlete but the lack of any character has kept him in the lower end of the card. By no means am I implying that Sasha has no character (it's quite the opposite actually) but the fact that her promos are mediocre at best does play a big factor and perhaps is one of the reasons she hasn't gotten a lengthy title run.

Bayley they've obviously ruined, Emma sadly they don't seem to be fond of and Nia Jax they are clearly taking their time with so, the way I see it, Alexa is currently the best thing they have on the RAW brand and this was one of the main reasons I was very confident last month while making the very early prediction she'd retain at No Mercy, despite all "odds" against her.
Well...may-be if the WWE would let Sasha "play to her strengths"
and turn her heel...Sasha could really show them how good she
can be as a "character" instead of being a "forced babyface"

Bayley is ruined, Emma is simply there to make up the numbers
(as sad as that makes me) & Nia Jax is just BORING...and seems
to be bi-polar as far as her relationship with Alexa goes.

I also tipped Bliss to retain...even if I wanted the WWE to "Pull A Jinder"
and put the strap on Emma.

.....the first ever WOMAN'S ROYAL RUMBLE MATCH.
I've heard the rumors...but I'll actually get excited when its official...I've
been stung by the WWE rumor mill before.

this eventually leads up to a showdown between the undefeated Empress and the monster known as Nia Jax.
But that's a boring idea...and its a match we've seen twice before in NXT...

I want to see Asuka fight some people she hasn't kicked in the face before...
and I DO NOT want Nia Jax to be the one to actually defeat Asuka. That
would suck!

As you may have noticed, in both scenarios I've pinned Asuka vs. Jax as the ultimate end game for Mania but this is something they could easily toy with, as in making it a 3-way by inserting Bliss, whilst by this point, maybe WWE have pulled the heel turn with Sasha, thus having Sasha Banks vs. Bayley in a more "personal" match. I mean, enough with the multi-women matches already, right?
At Wrestlemania I'd personally book:

Asuka vs. Sasha for the RAW Women's title...
Charlotte vs. Ronda Rousey/Becky Lynch for the SmackDown Women's title...
and on the Pre-show I'd have a 5 on 5 tag match...RAW vs. SmackDown...

Bayley, Alexa, Nia, Mickie & Emma (with Dana)
vs.
Natalya, Naomi, Paige, Becky/Carmella & Tamina (with Lana)

Charlotte vs. Ronda would go on second to last and I'd have Carmella cash in
during the match and make it a triple threat like Rollins did at Wrestlemania 31.

Carmella has to be saved from submission holds by both Charlotte & Ronda
before eventually Ronda gets her hands on Ellsworth and destroys him while
Carmella locks Charlotte in the Code of Silence for the successful cash in.
After Carmella flees with the title (leaving Ellsworth in a pile of his own blood,
vomit & urine)...Charlotte & Ronda shake hands in the middle of the ring.

But then...I'm not part of the WWE creative team...so what do I know.

Sorry my reply took so long to post...

Turning Reigns into an official heel won't fix anything...the Boos will never stop...
and besides...Triple H claims he's already a heel.

HEY MY PC IS BACK WOO LET ME CELEBRATE IN THIS RANDOM RATE THREAD WOO BACK TO POSTING LONG SHIT EASIER...

uhh grievous... got any more of them "can you tell me about" threads? *chapelle's show meme*

It won't stop the booing for sure, but maybe it'll do something to make us like the product more. Reigns isn't a top guy either way but anything to alleviate the pain of that Reigns rumble win will help a lot. Even if it's a short-term band aid and we'll be blindly optimistic and see where it goes... just make us happy WWE. Please.

Check out the No Mas Match from Season 2. AKA your favorite match ever you never saw :)

Well...I haven't really been curious about anyone else...and the
last thread about Summer Bae went down like a lead balloon.

I also want to enjoy the WWE product and not complain all the
time...but...this year has been painful as far as the booking goes.

It seems like nearly every move the WWE make is the wrong one
and as much as we can complain about it...they don't give a fuck
what we think.

Just look at their online polls at WWE.com...

Which brand should Asuka go to? the fans vote for SmackDown...
so off she goes to RAW...its the same thing every week.

I'm honestly over caring about Reigns at this point. The whole
situation is a giant, pathetic mess because the WWE only seems
to care about getting Reigns over...and because of their constant
and forced efforts...the crowds will continue to boo basically till
the day he retires.

Why have an opinion or care what they do with Reigns...because
at the end of the day...it doesn't matter...because the WWE will
continue to try every pathetic plan possible to make Reigns the
one...even if everyone knows he never will be.

I actually think its just sad and makes professional wrestling look
stupid as a whole.

"Wow...everyone really hates that guy"

"He's the face of company"

"Well...the crowd must really hate the company then"

Its like Vince is the coach and Roman is his son and no matter how
bad he performs or how much everyone hates him...Vince keeps
putting him out there...and no matter how much he improves or
how good he gets...everyone will keep hating and booing him.

Its just pathetic...

Check out the No Mas Match from Season 2. AKA your favorite match ever you never saw :emoji_slight_smile:
And I was really looking forward to seeing that match...until Sexy Star
decided to be a complete bitch and hurt Rosemary...so now I will never
watch another Sexy Star match...ever.
