I dont mind her keeping the jacket since it is a wholesome gift and tribute from Piper. But the whole song ,outfit and Rowdy moniker really doesnt fit her at all and it is not like many of today's audience care as much.

Nah, but maybe less cosplay, it's a cool nickname, but lose the jacket that's 5 sizes too big and the skirt from a Halloween sexy schoolgirl outfit.
Need to have her meet R-Truth so she can properly get rowdy though.

I imagine she’ll drop it when she turns heel. She’ll basically be female Brock then...

If you do Lesnar's entire return run (Extreme Rules 2012 till now) He's had fifty three matches. Ronda in eight months almost equals that with forty four matches since Wrestlemania 34. Quite the fact. |

I like it. For one it shows she is a fan of wrestling, respects its history and it clearly has meaning to her to be wearing Piper’s gear. That makes her so much more endearing to me, and separates her from the Lesnars of the world who couldn’t care less about any of it. I say keep it forever regardless of alignment.

Maybe she can change up the gear a bit, but the theme song should stay. Especially if she ever turns heel.

Yes. It's f***ing awful, especially when she's light years away from having the charisma Piper had.

Something has to change. Watching Evolution for the first time (very behind I know) and my wife and I both don’t get the vibe she’s putting out. I can deal with the Female Piper gimmick or the Black Swan makeup gimmick, but together they don’t fit imo. I’d rather keep the Rowdy gimmick than the weird makeup I guess. Looks heelish

No. She should take it further. One week she should paint herself half black. The next she should tell kids to say "pleaseaandthankya" when they go trick or treating (who cares it's almost January?) Then she should have a match against 4 good looking but out of shape women to decide if they can team with her in which she also gets horribly blown up and then she says F it and teams with women already on the roster anyway.

And film a stranger danger PSA where she teaches kids to yell “THATS NOT MY DAD!!!” |

Give her a music gimmick and make her "Rondo" Ronda Rousey.

All I know is that WWE2K19 commercial where she's getting ready for a match, with audio of Roddy Piper giving Ronda a pep talk echoing over it, that commercial gave me chills watching it the first time.
I think the Piper connection is really cool. I like that Ronda isn't out there doing Roddy impressions or anything. Stylistically she's still her own person. It feels less like she's raising her name off of Roddy's reputation, and more that she's just a great wrestler who's keeping one of her heroes' legacies alive.

She has no persona besides bad bitch that has a bunch of rowdy themes. I don't mind having a tribute to her but too much becomes coasting on it I like the jacket .I think it is enough tribute. or wearing themed colors for big events. also the theme is just bad for wrestling theme. |

What is the "Rowdy" gimmick anyway?
Piper was, face or heel, an obnoxious loudmouth with a gouge-your-eyes-out approach in the ring.
Ronda is none of that.
