f*** you right back.
I don't want to see Ronda, not even getting beaten. And I especially don't want to hear whatever whinging nonsense she plans to pull out of her pocket full of stupid next.

I wonder how Ronda would have fared going through the wrestling business the typical way that others have to, that is to say paying yourself through wrestling school and going through the independent circuit for several years before sniffing a promotion that may pay your bills. I realize her celebrity status prevented that from being the case, but hypothetically if she chose professional wrestling at a young age and went that path instead.

Probably not very. But there's been wrestlers who've taken unusual or late ways into wrestling, I don't feel like that counts for much. I dunno, as an intellectual technically-inclined person I know some methods of education aren't best for everyone, so I get that people might get places different ways.
I take your point though, people pay their dues, learn the way that builds them up to what they're gonna see in the business, but I dunno if that's the whole measure of a wrestler.
'Course, Rousey being Rousey, maybe she's not that cut out for wrestling, I dunno, not for me to say, but maybe a stronger filter would've changed things, who knows?

I just think maybe she'd respect the business more and have more appreciation for how tough it is to climb the ladder. But you also need a thick skin in the business, not just from fans, but also other talent and sleazy promoters. I don't think she's ever shown that she has thick skin--if she isn't being endlessly praised and even gets criticism or backlash, she doesn't take it well. The paying your dues journey sort of teaches that.
