It was great at first, but got old after she won at WM. I prefer when she's dorky, which is how she really is iRL. That match at Mania should have been a squash match. Shayna should have destroyed Becky, Becky gets in a few moves during the match, but ultimately it doesn't matter because Shayna runs through her. It's what the storyline called for with Becky's arrogance, and Shayna being all business. My bad, I meant the WM 35 match. But I agree that Shayna should've won at this past year's WM, and even Becky herself also agreed since she said she fought to put her over there but Vince wouldn't go for it. Having Shayna win there was the least they could do after how crappy they made her look in the build.

Something else that might be considered "shameful", is that I thought Shayna biting Becky was good. It made her look more dangerous, she was an ass kicker who could be sadistic before that, but her biting Becky gave her a bit of a psychopath edge, and made her even more sadistic. It brought up the question of "What is Shayna gonna do when she's got a shot at the title? Is Becky ready for it? Is anybody on the roster ready for how far Shayna is willing to go?", but that was forgotten about.

I totally agree with you on Vampire Shayna, it was great and different from the usual heel beatdown segment they do. It sucks they had Becky come back out later that night to cut a promo instead of waiting until a week or two weeks after.

I sort of liked Viscera as Big Daddy V on WWECW, I was totally down with having a throwback fat boy monster heel on the show. I thought I was the only one! Viscera usually ends up winning a world title sooner or later in my wrestling video games. I thought the 2015 Rumble was still pretty good. The only Royal Rumble that I think is utter garbage is 1999.

I don't know how shameful this might be but I dislike "The Man" even if it's the best gimmick Becky Lynch has had in the main roster. Oh shit, let me join in on this. If we're doing shameful opinions. Becky Lynch the character has never been over with me at all. I barely saw her in NXT, but when she got to the main roster, for years people would talk about how she was held down, and more over than she seemed - overness I guess is up for debate, but I just didn't find her very entertaining. Then she became The Man, and became the hottest act in the company - and I shared people's frustrations at WWE mishandling that gimmick, which they continued to do until I stopped watching - but like... I can hear the sound of the pops she gets, and I don't understand what I'm missing. I still don't think most of her matches were particularly good, and even the ones that were it seemed to me like almost all the juice really came from the other person in the match, I thought her promos and insults were hoky as shit, I just do not get it.

With The impending fear of Charlotte, Ronda or any other woman seen as a "management favorite" like Lacey and even Mandy taking over Becky's place on top, people supported Becky even more... which might've damaged the women's division as a result. Nobody got over Becky while it felt like she had free range to do whatever she wanted by bashing the opposition and then beating them decisively.

I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy?

There are guys who are considered universal legends of wrestling who were only every tag-team guys. There are guys in the WWE Hall of Fame based off of their runs with the Intercontinental Championship. This whole "either you're world champion or you're nothing" just hurts the brand because, obviously, not everyone can be champion, and their attempts to make everyone champion ironically degrades that one championship that matters, because it feels like they only won the damn thing because it's their turn. Which leads me to something else possibly shameful: I think Nakamura has had a decent WWE run. Not amazing, but not bad at all either. The kind of success he had in NJPW (and mind you, some felt he was pushed too hard early on in New Japan as “srs MMA guy” before he found his charismatic voice as King Of Strong Style) wasn’t ever going to be replicated by him entering a WWE roster already loaded down with crazy talent. His run could have been better, but it hasn't been nearly as bad as some have made it out to be. He's got plenty of accolades during his time and from what I can gather, *he* seems content at what he's done
