Don’t worry, Stephanie McMahon will be part of the Women’s Royal Rumble

So...as much as I thought she'd actually be in the
match itself (at #30 because Fuck You!) we now
know Stephanie McMahon will be on commentary
for the women's rumble match.

But my question is why?

I don't care about any of the McMahon's...I don't
want to see or hear from any of them...ever!

Well...at least its better than Alexa or Charlotte
on commentary I guess.

We couldn't let Renee Young be an announcer for this?

Her voice makes my head hurt. I would much rather have Young doing this.

The worst thing is what is she actually going to be saying?

She isn't an actual wrestler...at least Lita, Beth or Trish could
actually talk about wrestling & being a woman performing in
a WWE ring.

I would much rather have Young doing this.

At least Renee Young is around these women on a regular
basis & has observed how hard they have worked as a division
& could play a "neutral" party.

What is Stephanie going to say? Especially considering her
past encounters with certain women in this match have been
fairly negative..especially Bayley & Sasha...not to mention
Brie Bella if she is actually in the match.

Or is she just going to sit there & take credit for the match
actually taking place?

Man...maybe I should just watch this match with the sound on mute?

The question is whether we are going to get marketing, charity-faced Steph or man-slapping heel Steph...

Well @Grievous I guess she's doing her job just fine if you can't stand her. I don't think we're supposed to like her all that much.

I don't mind if she's on commentary. Probably to setup a wrestlemania match with someone. Someone will get eliminated and they'll have a stare down and a couple slaps. That's my guess.

She has had more face/heel turns than Big Show. No one knows what the hell she is suposta be and that is what annoys some of us.

You see the problem with that is she isn't an actual wrestler so my dislike
of her doesn't really mean anything to any story being told...therefore its
FUCKING POINTLESS.

I don't mind if she's on commentary.
Okay...fair call...your opinion...

Probably to setup a wrestlemania match with someone. Someone will get eliminated and they'll have a stare down and a couple slaps. That's my guess.
Okay...the problems with this is again...she isn't an actual wrestler...
and I don't think we need her wrestling anyone at Wrestlemania
considering the WWE has plenty of performers who actually
deserve a Wrestlemania match instead of Stephanie McMahon.

Am I the only the one who doesn't care about the McMahon's?

Am I the only the one who actually wants a wrestling product
to be focused on the actual wrestlers?

Am I the only one who doesn't want to see some Evil Authority
figure involved in any storyline?

The WWE did this already with Vince & Stone Cold...and it ain't
going to get any better than that...EVER!

I like when Shane gets involved, even when he wrestles. But that's because he is sorta alright at it. But I don't like when Steph gets too involved in Authority storylines, especially if she ends up wrestling. She should drop the heel persona and just stick to the business side of things, like charity work and promoting the evolution of women's wrestling.

You don't like the Coast to Coast? Or him jumping off Cells? And even when he has not had gimmicky/no-DQ matches it has been good (see Aj vs Shane at WM)

I mean maybe 15/20 years ago...but now...he's just taking a spot from
the actual wrestlers. I also didn't watch his match with Styles or his
Hell in a Cell with Owens...because I'm not wasting my time watching
an old has-never-been.
