Trips still needs to learn how to do this. He can't always be the cool heel authority guy above getting embarrassed every so often. Is that still a valid criticism of him, though? He pretty much got his ass kicked nonstop for a few months, by Bryan and then the Shield. I don't think he's won a match in like a year. He hasn't. His talking game is pretty much all he has left, and even now people are starting to (finally) see through it because most of what they say now is easily disprovable bullshit as opposed to putting dirt on guys careers.

Steph looking like an ass is why I don't switch off her segments anymore. Even when she's getting the upper hand she's doing her "mom dancing" or something and coming off as a complete idiot. She's also been better at not interrupting people in the middle of their promos. She's typically with HHH during these segments, too, and I don't think I've ever enjoyed Trips more than I do now in his "SUCK IT IWC" mode.

Been saying it for ages that she needed to show weakness and a willingness to be outdone. Now she's doing it, she's become very entertaining. The only flaw is that as evil as she is, I still hate the Bellas more. That's my issue too. The Bella's are just not likable protagonists, even if they're associated with my two favourite wrestlers in the company. They're only beliavable as alpha-bitches. When you're up against THE alpha-bitch in wrestling and I can't root for you, there's a problem there. Still, Steph has done a great job in this feud.

My mum saw the bit with Steph being arrested and made this exact quote "She needs to get a refund from her surgeon for that boob job, I could park a car between them and I don't even drive".
I am traumatized.

Eh, that wasn't even really comeuppance as much as a plot device for her feud and the overall story of the show. the plot device is the small bit of comeuppance she got. she slapped a "regular person" and the cops came to arrest her. it's not the overall checkmate, but a fun move nonetheless. I <3 Stephanie.

I have always felt that her involvement in the Authority angle was completely unnecessary. The only thing we really got out of it before this little angle was having the male talent come out and be talked down to and slapped by her Highness for over a year.

The only thing we really got out of it before this little angle was having the male talent come out and be talked down to and slapped by her Highness for over a year. it allows for variety and multiple targets
