There's a potential point in him preferring Becky's pre Summerslam character, which was much more the "I'll fight for what's right!" babyface he's talking about. I can see the whole The Man thing becoming tiresome after a point, whereas the previous character was always going to be over. I personally preferred the "Straight Fire, Becky Balboa" persona, and don't particularly like the whole "The Man/Becky McGregor" persona that much. But it's the latter that got hot, so you have to ride it for as long as it's working. I agree. I prefer plucky babyface Becky too, but something that always confused me given how much people loved her was that plucky babyface Becky was never really THAT over.

I wonder how much Road Warrior Animal will like Lars Sullivan when he debuts.

She's always had the fan support, but I think the fans just got more vocal and passionate because she wasn't doing shit for a year and a half after putting Alexa over and they were sick of it.

Oh she was never NOT over. She just wasn't ever hot before except isolated cases.

She got over with teh womens' title she helped get Alexa over... and that was the last time she did anything relevant on Smackdown until recently.

Now they're trailing in Becky's dust.

Becky can't call herself The Man because she's not a man, but he can call himself Animal even though he's human. f***ing hypocrite. Humans are animals tho.

Now they're trailing in Becky's dust. Yeah, I agree. Bayley and Sasha used to get huge reactions. Somewhere along the way, with help from their awful booking of Sasha and Bayley, Becky won more and more people over with her personality I guess. Hell, this board was just about split on Becky when she came up to the main roster.

"You can’t be a tough guy wearing plastic lycra tights."
...Says the dude who spent most of his adult life dressing like a Mad Max extra and acting like a tough guy wearing tights.
Also, what you wear does not impact how tough you are. See: Street, Adrian.

Animal responded to Becky’s quip on Twitter with a cringe-inducing rant.
And then after all of this, he lays this beauty on us.
This, ladies and gentleman, is already a top contender for the most ironic and oblivious comment of 2019. Does this guy have even a hint of self-awareness?

The only time any dude should be using the “We won belts in different companies” thing outside of the show itself is to say how those companies trusted them to be a big part of said division in said company.
Anything else makes you seem like a right tool.
The rest isn’t f***ing worth responding to.

"Becky Lynch needs to get over herself"

Oh, Becky Lynch only won one Women's championship, eh Animal?
Please, pray tell, how many singles championships did you win over the course of your illustrious career?
Oh, none? Interesting. I wonder why that is? Is it because your act only worked as a tag team?
You've won 22 tag team titles in 22 different promotions. That is an accomplishment no one can ever take away. But don't start telling the young stars that they need to "get over themselves" when you're a f***ing nobody without Hawk to back you up.
Also, maybe don't call people out when your ring gear in your Wikipedia profile picture is just a t-shirt and sweatpants.

How dare he talk bad about m'Baecky. The Man is 10x the star the Old Warriors ever were and is literally the next Stone Cold.

Hasn't earned the right to call herself out? The woman's worked her ass off and is one of the hottest things in the WWE, she absolutely has the right to call him out. Hell, she has the right to call him out even if she wasn't as hot as she is now.
As he says himself, people are gonna have an opinion, and she showed her opinion of him. So the only one here that needs to get over themselves is Animal, a guy who basically got his big break thanks to Paul Ellering and floundered on his own.

I'm kind of mixed on Becky myself. I do think her old character was pretty damn good and it's more in line with her ring style, but while I wanted to see her have successes I never could've imagined wanting to see her in the Mania main event before. The newer gimmick makes her come off like far more of a big deal and it's not just a booking thing, it's a confidence thing. I buy that this version of Becky sees herself as the absolute best.
