It would have been a good nostalgic moment had it not been for the enormous gash on Beth's head. I keep thinking, why aren't they calling an audible and sending her packing earlier? Then when Santina came out, I'm thinking, that's why Beth has to stay in so damn long!

It was a bit cringe, to be honest. Might have thought we were past using cross-dressing for humour purposes in 2020, but I guess not. Would have been a great spot in the men’s match, though, Santino doing that with Lesnar.

I really found the whole thing super uncomfortable and absurdly out of touch. Like, to the point I hope WWE catches some shit for it.

Words cannot describe how angry the Santina thing made me.

Beth was a disposable legend entry with no legitimate chance of winning. She could have easily been eliminated once she was busted open. But it appears they needed her to stay till the end in order to sell the shocking return of Santina.

WWE: We’re all about the Women’s Evolution, so here’s an outdated crossdresser gimmick from the Divas Era!

They pretty much shit on the women as a whole when they trotted that out.

I get what your saying but by logic of the WWE Santina is a returning Legend and Miss WrestleMania. It was a great ha-ha spot. |

Yeah, I personally thought they could have just not done that and left it in the past, even if it could have been worse than it turned out to be.
Like, it went kind of alright in the execution with him being promptly dispatched, but Elias was just on Smackdown making some brutal jokes about this stuff a couple weeks ago, so why you going to trust them here?

Nothing better to show how progressive you are than bringing back a crossdressing comedy character that was out of touch and insensitive when you last did it 10 years ago. If you wanted to show you were past this kind of behavior, you could've either a) had every woman in the ring completely murk him before they collectively tossed him out as a relic of an era that needed to stay dead, or b) JUST NOT DONE THE SPOT AT ALL.

They even did some green screen gimmick the night they fired Santina and had Santino come in from the other side of the camera shot. |

Speaking of whom, that stinkface spot was awkward as hell too, to the point where commentary had to play it off with the old "SHE'S HAVING FUN!" trope. |

If something is wildly out of touch and out of date 10 years ago, bringing it back in 2020 while you're trying to present yourself as this progressive led organization for women really does not make the "continuity logic" of it matter. Also, they put in Santina over Peyton Royce, Billie Kay, Sasha, etc which is absurd. |

Just a wasted spot in my opinion, why not bring out one of the IIconics and have Santino get utterly destroyed in the men's rumble?

I know why people are gonna be frothing at the mouth angry but it was a silly 35 second spot, that featured zero bumps, zero making fun of men or women, and a few call backs to the past. It was a completely innocent spot in a Rumble. Nothing more. |

Sad to see people dunk on a beloved LGBTQ+ wrestling icon. Get with the times.
