Telling someone to die over an accident in a worked performance. Social Media is so great......

Nia's not very good and comments about sending her down for more training are fair IMO, but agreed that a lot of people took it way too far.

A wrestling fan overreacting and taking things too far? Well I’m shocked.
I’ll never understand why some fans fight the corner of certain wrestlers when they get accidentally injured by someone. Like... they know these guys are friends backstage, right? She’s most likely apologised 100 times. She doesn’t need a bunch of nerds telling her to die over it.

Make the best out of a crazy situation Flair told no lies it did help all 3 of them in a crazy way Indeed, and very fast too. Becky got the iconic image of her bloodied and badass (plus the bonus of not having to lose to Ronda at Survivor Series, which could have badly hurt her push) and Charlotte got to put on an excellent match with Ronda (likely helping her position backstage given it was on such short notice) and an attention-grabbing post-match beatdown, when the previous plan would likely have been her playing the Asuka role in the women's Survivor Series match.

That punch could turn out to be one of the most significant botches of all time if it takes Becky from losing to Ronda at Survivor Series to main eventing Wrestlemania. At the time it was terrible and I hope Nia pulls back and works safer, but there's no denying that the injury spot has probably helped keep Becky hot and maybe even hotter due to the image and the saving of the Ronda match, while Charlotte got her new direction and they saved her from the depths of "face people didn't want' with this new schtick. It's pushed a lot of people into positions for something exciting, even if Nia isn't exactly one of them.

Yea, this may be the craziest botch of all time that benefited all parties
Charlotte got to show why she is still one of the best by putting on a great match and doing the post match beat down which gave her character a new dimension. Becky continues to look like an animal and only helped her image and Nia will retain heel heat for a long ass time
Even others like Asuka and Ronda benefited from this

People can be terrible critics. I'm happy that Nia had Charlotte, to give her that pep talk (?) As was mentioned, Nia probably apologized multiple times. She certainly doesn't deserve to be told that she should die because of this.

Becky standing tall with her face covered in blood was an amazing visual and made her look like a total bad-ass. Nia got some premium heel heat and it helped out both in the long run. A nasty accident but it came good in the end.
And a portion of wrestling fans continue to be some of the worst scum on the internet.

What's also bonkers is that its the second hand-related botch that's had immense flow-on effects for Charlotte Flair and for women's wrestling in general. The first was in 2014 in the Wrestlemania XXX 14-woman match, where the idea was that Naomi was meant to tap with the wrong hand, and then create a situation where she got a rematch the next night and won the title from AJ Lee. Unfortunately Naomi messed up the finish and tapped as normal, which meant that she didn't get that title challenge. WWE instead drafted Paige from NXT to fill the gap, which then meant that a planned NXT women's title match between Paige and Charlotte never happened. Instead, they had a tournament which led to the acclaimed Natalya/Charlotte Takeover match which gave Charlotte (as she's talked about in many interviews) confidence and set the stage for all the other changes in women's wrestling that were to come.

I’m far from a fan of Nia; I think she’s inept and think that if nothing else she should’ve been demoted back to the Performance Center after the Becky thing, if not fired outright. However, wishing death on someone because they’re bad at their job is utterly insane, and neither Nia nor anyone else deserves that. It's basic goddamn decency.

Luckily I dont think anyone in this forum would wish death to any of then. I did laught a how they wrote "Flair,the daughter of Ric Flair". You could have just said Charlotte Flair.

So the lesson here is, botch, botch away. You'll get a renewed push and gimmick, and everyone will think it was a good thing in the long run.

Sorta, the idea was that AJ cheated the tap by grabbing her hand and slapped the canvas... which she did with a I am totally being sneaky face.... but like immediately after she did that Naomi tapped like normal, ruining the spot because even with the with that forced fake tap... Naomi still tapped like 3 seconds later so... the match would have ended anyway. it is one of those botches I can't even understand how it happened as literally all Naomi had to do was nothing.

Btwn Charlotte training Sasha and her encouraging words/pep talk to Nia one thing is clear.............. Charlotte is just like her dad and trying to gain their trust for the most oppurtune time to stab them in the back. NEVER trust a Flair unless your name is Sting,go ahead Stinger you can trust your friend Ric

She lost to Ronda, got her shit pushed in by Becky soon afterwards, was eliminated by Becky in the rumble, took multiple finishers from the men, and has been pretty much used for comeuppance fodder. I wouldn’t call that a push, she’s just a hand that’s made to look dominant until someone or some people topple her down and bring her “down to size.” At least to me.

And a portion of wrestling fans continue to be some of the worst scum on the internet. It is not just wrestling fans, it is just the internet. It has given a mostly anonymous to us all which drags the worst to the top. We sadly just see more of the wrestling side of it since that is what most of us arrived here for. For every piece of scum that wished the worst for Nia there were ones standing up for her, they just don't usually get the mentions since that is common decency.
