Rousey should be ashamed of herself. She disgraces the name of Rowdy Roddy Piper, and everything he stood for. If he was really her idol growing up, she would have an ounce of rationale in her mind about how wrestling works and how you exactly should go about doing it, face or heel. Let's just go back in time a little bit and remember... Yeah, I'm sure he'd be a huge fan of this. /s

I remember a Cornette shoot were he rebooked the Invasion angle saying he'd basically just admit wrestling is fake and it sounded like the worst thing ever, can't believe it's actually happening it's hilarious.

It's so lame. It's the exact opposite of what they intend. Maybe twenty years ago this would have come across as "Ohh shocking!" Now, it's just corny.

Imagine all of the classic WrestleMania moments that could have been ruined by using this template:
"Terry Bollea, I am in fact a giant. When we get to WrestleMania, I may just decide not to cooperate on your bodyslam attempt and deadweight you, boss."
"Randy Poffo, you have held that belt for a year, brother, and sure you did ok business. But I am back from filming my movie and everyone knows that I am the biggest draw in this company and because of that, dude, Hulkamania is about to run wild again."
"Jim Hellwig, I do not think you are ready to be a champion, brother. If I have to go against the script to make sure that that does not happen, so be it. I have spoken to Vince McMahon and let my feelings be known, but he seems intent on making you the next guy, dude. But he is wrong."
"This is not The Rock talking to Steve Austin. This is Dwayne Johnson talking to Steve Williams, and I have become a bigger star than you. I am a more mainstream star and therefore, the office should decide to keep the belt on me."
"Chris Irvine, you may be the champion but everyone knows that you are a transitional champion and I am married to the boss's daughter. At WrestleMania, I will complete my babyface comeback story and you will be a footnote in that story because I have a ton of political power here."
You get the point.

Totally, but I guess at least then there was the factor of 'wha? that's new.' At least Mark Madden and full give no shits Schiavone aren't commentating I guess.

Lol yeah I remember that, it sounded absolutely f***ing terrible. What's bizarre is that Russo's idea of a rebooked invasion, while not flawless, had more respect for kayfabe and semi-logical storyline progression than Cornette's.

I f***ing hate Ronda.
Having said that, I am morbidly intrigued. Part of me hopes it gets so bad that it breaks WrestleMania and wakes some people the f*** up.

What's bizarre is that Russo's idea of a rebooked invasion, while not flawless, had more respect for kayfabe and semi-logical storyline progression than Cornette's. You know what's funny about that? In their little feud, I used to be Team Cornette all the way. His invasion booking soured me on him so much. I'm still not Team Russo, but I just see both guys as arrogant pricks now. He honestly booked himself in Dusty Rhodes' corner (who had spent his last years in WCW as a retired commentator) against Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania. I sat there in disbelief thinking, "the balls on this guy!!" Also, after trashing the brawl for all for years for being a shoot in a business based on being a work (and rightfully so), he said that some of the undercard matches would be legitimate shoot fights. At first, I thought he was trolling, but nope, he really was that much off a hypocrite. It amounted to, "If Vince Russo does a shoot angle, he's a moron. If I do a shoot angle, I am a genius visionary."

Arn Anderson leaves, this happens.
It's related. Trust me. Somehow, it just is.

I'm not saying this is a great idea or anything but there's a decent chance that the emotion you guys are putting into this is exactly how they want you to react. I don't care who is responsible, or if they both are Nah.
SRS from Fightful said Ronda and Becky started off in character on Twitter and Ronda really got frustrated, went off the rails and now the company's trying to make it seem like it's all part of the storyline when really it's not.
This is the gal yall said would be able to hold up a WM main event feud. Ronda couldn't cut it months ago, she can't cut it now.

Here’s what needs to happen: - At Fastlane, we redo the fimgerpoke of doom. Becky pins Charlotte. And they reveal that they’re a lesbian couple. They’ve been plotting revenge ever since Ronda banged Tic Flair at Mania 34. - On Raw, Ronda says she knew the whole time. And, in a preemptive strike, it was she who got Alicia Fox drunk. Thereby getting Arn Anderson, who’s revealed as Becky’s biological father, fired. - Some time laget, Becky and Charlotte beat down Ronda. Becky hits Ronda with her bad knee, smiles, reveals her knee is fine, and is in fact Weapon X. - At Mania, during the main event, CM PHBK parachutes in, and says he’s going to main event Mania one way or the other, and reveals he’s strapped with dynamite. Colt Canama rushes to the ring to plead with Punk. They realize they’re each other’s one true love. AJ Lee has no idea because she’s playing the Witcher 3 for the ninth time. I love the idea that Ric Flair is actually a giant tick in a man costume. And the fact that this entire post was written while drunk. Now I want to see Ric Flair play The Tick in a comedy skit. "To be the arachnid, ya gotta BEAT the arachnid! SpWoooooooon!!"

Ronda's ego is too fragile for this. I will this...it makes me have a shit ton more respect for Roman, who did and still does get legitimate hate and the way he's always handled that in the public eye.
