2017 was a bad year for woman.
Yep...
I dont blame WWE for pushing Alexa Bliss.
I do...because the bitch can't wrestle/work!
She has a great look, character and promo
That's not good enough! This is wrestling...SO WRESTLE!
The Miz can at least go in the ring as sell as being a great character
with truly epic mic skills.
(why is WWE making Stephanie a main stream star a priority when they have Bliss?)
Oh I agree...Alexa should go off & try acting & leave wrestling
to the actual wrestlers.
As for everyone else, WWE have done a very poor job with the woman. Becky has done nothing noteworthy for over a year.
If I had to guess it would be because Becky isn't American or Blonde...
or has a famous dad...& that reasoning also explains the treatment of
Sasha & Bayley.
And just to prove my point that the WWE has an unhealthy obsession
with white blondes...just look at all the returning "legends" that showed
up for women's Royal Rumble...you'll notice a pattern.
Becky needs a change...she's been the exact same character since
she first showed up on RAW.
I'm hoping SAni†Y shows up on SmackDown & offers Becky a jacket...
have her team up with Nikki Cross & get destructive & nasty.
So far 2018 has been good for woman. Hopefully WWE continue to actually care about the woman division.
I...don't want to seem like a pessimist...but I don't think
2018 has been that great so far...
Paige, Alicia Fox & Tamina being injured, Absolution & the Riott
Squad being exciting for like 2 or 3 weeks before the same old
repetitive booking took over, Carmella being a fucking joke despite
holding the MitB briefcase, the Rumble being dominated by
"Returning Legends" instead of NXT talent, Bliss still be the
champion despite hardly wrestling a fucking match, the Mixed
Match Challenge not being on RAW or SmackDown, Sasha being
booked like a jobber, No true rival/threat for Charlotte on SmackDown
& Ronda Rousey doing nothing but pointing at a sign & apparently not
even being hired to build up the women's division...she's been hired
to make Stephanie McMahon a mainstream star for some reason.
I have to be honest with you...apart from Tenille carving it up on
the Indies, Allie being cute Impact, Rosemary keeping my attention
& Shayna Baszler being a true threat to Ember Moon in NXT (Seriously
Hunter...put the belt on her!)...the Women's division has been all talk
with no true in-ring highlights...I mean even the Rumble match (which
I wanted to love) only featured a few bright spots for me personally
& the match itself had a pretty rough finish.
(The Bella Twins in the final 4? WHY?! Why not Becky & Kairi Sane instead?
Just imagine how awesome that could have been)
I want to talk up the women's division, I want to be positive about it &
I want more wrestling fans to appreciate what these women are doing for
our entertainment...but I'm not going to lie to myself.
I know what I like & what I find entertaining...and the WWE women's
division is something I neither really like or find entertaining at this point
in time.
Of course that is 95% due to the booking...not the ladies themselves as
performers...but still...at the moment...I'm not really feeling it.
