Siiiiiiiiiigh.

Triple H is Antonio Inoki. Because that's the guy you should follow when trying to set the future of your company.

[Deleted]

Damn it, I can’t refer to Baszler as Ronda’s Friend anymore if they’re bringing more of her friends in!

[Facetious]

I've seen a number of good transitions from MMA to wrestling so I'm okay with this as long as they put in the work.

[Deleted]

And HHH has finally completed his amibo MMA set.

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

Can't wait to see them all squash Becky Lynch and Bayley in a year.

f***ing sigh.

[Bungle]

The whole Women Revolution experiment is officially over.

How DARE theeeyyyyyy!

[This Player Hating Mothman]

If they're going to put in the hard work and they have potential then fine. Ronda at least proved she had something going for her at Mania, even if there's a lot of rough-around-the-edges stuff that should have been worked out before being put in that spot, and Shayna worked her way to WWE and has been putting in the effort to improve the whole way up. My bigger worry is just the relative talent-and-overness-to-push ratio involved here and the worry this leads to the long-fabled Horsewomen vs. Horsewomen Survivor Series match. Then on top of this is the whole issue of Ronda being the big star of the group but her friends all being kind of lower-rung nobody fighters only notable through being her entourage, and WWE not really knowing enough about MMA to look beyond the faintest of hype.

[The Trashman]

The NXT womens division could use a dominant heel group.

It's female Lesnar push + 3 friends.

Not a lot of space for actual female wrestlers.

[Cela]

And the Bashams of Ronda's cabinet have been secured.

I get where you're coming from, but I'll give it a chance before I throw my hands in the air. And I don't think it is fair to classify them as "Not actual wrestlers" if they're training to become wrestlers.

[Zone Was Wrong]

I'll hold any issues with this for the moment. Bazsler and Ronda have made a decent transition so far. Ronda looked good in the ring and Bazsler is growing in leaps and bounds. If these two can become decent I'll be all for a Four Horsewomen match at Survivor Series next year or whatever

[tenshi]

Jessymane Duke peaked at The Ultimate Fighter 17 when she lost to Raquel Pennington and Marina Shaffir-Strong got to hang out with them because she's close to Ronda. Ever since TUF 17 ended, Baszler and Duke lost all their fights in the UFC and Shaffir was jobbed out at Invicta FC (an all female MMA promotion) after winning her debut. What I'm trying to say is that the MMA version of the Horsewomen was only over because Ronda was champion in the UFC and now they might get a look in WWE because they're Ronda's buddies... Now I dread the idea of Travis Browne joining WWE and fighting Roman for the title in a year or two.

Honestly, Bayley and Becky being Horsewomen is great job security.

I'll get behind Browne being there if only for the masked "Boomerang Bandit" run in before Browne wins the title.

They called themselves the 4 horsewomen.

More like female Flair plus three jobbers.

Shanna Baszler, Duke, and Shafir are only known in mma circles as Ronda's friends and for getting their asses kicked.
