Friends, this weekend was the first rasslin match I've watched in nearly 2 years as I was at my parent's this weekend. (My power is out and will be till Friday due to a F4 tornado that tore threw Little Rock on Friday. I got really lucky, my place is pretty undamaged but 2 streets over every other house is just gone. If you're so inclined, a Red Cross donation could help a lot of folks). They have Peacock so I watched Rhea vs Charlotte & man what a great match to check out. Just a classic. Charlotte was as great as usual and Rhea more than kept up and everything about her screams superstar.
That was good shit pal.

She's great. I will say that I think some of the longer promos they had her cut in the build didn't really hit for me. She doesn't really need to do those though. She has so much presence and star power without doing those that they should just work more to play to her strengths which are shorter promos where she just needs to hit quick one liners.

Rhea has big Final Boss energy. I wonder if they keep her and Bianca apart until next Wrestlemania and then try to have a big showdown.
Good in the ring, good look, good character, the TOTAL PACKAGE RHEA RIPLEY!

the highlight of my weekend. Her saying she got emotional for both herself and Dom before their matches was kind of a sweet thing. I adore them, haha.

She sure is.
There were a fair amount of misgivings about her heel turn. It's worked out great, to the point where she feels on the verge of an organic face turn.

Disappointed with Australia’s media response to this.
The Australian main stream media always goes nuts when an Australian makes it in big overseas markets... Actors, musicians, athletes.. Hell they will dedicate an entire back page of a newspaper if an ex AFL player becomes an NFL punt kicker.
But Rhea who is now probably the biggest star in Pro Wrestling to come from Australia... And barely a peep from the “Aussie Media” .. Got some coverage on Fox Sports (cause it’s apart of Foxtel that carries WWE programming here). And she got coverage in the Adelaide Advertiser newspaper (hometown girl) and I presume she has been mentioned on local coverage in South Australia.
But rest of Australia media coverage.. Don't give a shit. Only WWE news they reported on this weekend was the merger.

The one thing they did right during Mania. This and the Gunther/Sheamus/Drew triple threat were the best highlights of a Mania that is gonna unfortunately be most remembered for something extremely negative lol |

I like how she praises Rhea but also keeps it somewhat kayfabe at the same time lol by mentioning about wanting to take the title from her one day (which would require her to move to SmackDown but still lol). I do agree though that Rhea will/should, barring injuries etc, be a major player in the women's division in the 2020s. |

Rhea is a superstar. I mean she’s amazing and she’s only 26. That just blows my mind. Baring injuries she has at least a decade on top in wwe. As she won the SmackDown title she the youngest grand slam champion(male or female) in wwe history. You know how much of a star she is ? Even Jim cornette raves about how amazing she is, and had done for a while.

(Albeit he also said she should adopt a more everyday look and move away from the punk or goth stuff, which, is like suggesting Superman should fight crime in sweatpants and a hoodie.) In any case, she's money by seemingly everyone's metric. |
