They should have really made her the female Brock. (I mean Brock in his first run when he gave a shit) She sure as hell should never have been a face. I guaran-damn-tee you they pitched her as a heel, and she turned it down. No way she wanted people booing her at any point ever. Your right. She's WAY too sensitive for that.

I just....between this and Seth's BS run to Lesnar Jesus CHRIST this road to Mania sucks ass. Everything’s just getting tied up to inside baseball stuff with the major matches... Rollins trying to beat Lesnar so the Universal belt is on a guy there every week instead of a lazy part-timer with a fat contract, Lynch being held back by the office because they prefer Charlotte more, Rousey becoming a loose cannon that is trying to expose the business she has lost all respect for, and there’ll probably be stuff with Kingston as well since his arc has started off along some of the same beats as Lynch’s. This feels like them TRYING to cater to us using story beats we talk about all the time as hardcore fans. Like, do you think they’d have the story of “Charlotte shoehorned into the match as Vince’s company favourite” if there wasn’t such a deadset belief in our part of the fanbase that she IS the company favourite, that we “know what Vince is like”, and that Lynch would have been completely dropped from the storyline by this point because she was not in “the plan”? It’s just... it’s exhausting. I shouldn’t need a f***ing Observer subscription to make sense of WWE’s storylines.

f*** it. WWE needs to remove Ronda from this completely. Becky vs. Charlotte, 1v1. If they don't trust that alone to headline then screw it, give Lesnar another undeserved main event. Even then he'd deserve it more than Ronda Rousey at this point. This. Get Rousey out of this NOW. She’s blown it this past week and she’s shown that she doesn’t understand the business. A shame because Rousey/Lynch before all this had potential to be the hottest Mania feud since Rock/Austin. But Ronda had to go and ruin it all by being an absolute moron. Ugh.

But most of all, I want kayfabe to stay the f*** off social media. Stop “building feuds” on Twitter. I genuinely cannot agree with anything more than I agree with this. It's f***ing stupid. Social media should be people good naturedly razzing on each other, like Jericho and Miz did years ago, or Becky to everybody before the office decided it should be her primary method of building this feud.

Social media should be people good naturedly razzing on each other, like Jericho and Miz did years ago, or Becky to everybody before the office decided it should be her primary method of building this feud. And look, I’m cool with wrestlers being on Twitter if they act like their real life selves. I’m cool with them admitting they’re playing a character and admitting it’s fake even. What I’m not cool with, is the fact that they hype matches up on Twitter and Ronda Rousey is taking it upon herself to “hype up a match” by openly admitting that it’s all fake. THATS the part that gets me. If she was tweeting funny jokes with Becky Lynch out of character, it wouldn’t even be a problem for me. For anyone who watches The Walking Dead, you’ll know Norman Reedus and Jeffrey Dean Morgan are best buds in real life. They’re always hanging out on Instagram, posting pictures and tweeting each other. Did that take me out of the storyline where Negan had Daryl captured as a slave? Absolutely not. The fact is, these social media buildups are “canon” in the storyline. And you can’t be saying “this is all fake” in the storyline. That’s the problem.

Ronda is almost uncomfortable to watch right now, between the fact that you could see the boos getting to her and now all this twitter stuff, it really kind of makes her come off a bit unstable. I'm also worried that they still see her as a major draw and will try to carter to her to get her to stay. I almost felt like the stuff on Monday was an effort to maybe get her cheered since Becky and even Charlotte going all bad ass on people got cheers but this twitter stuff is not going to get her cheered.

What happens if Ronda quits or no shows before Mania? Because honestly there might be a higher than 0 percent chance it happens.

Ronda's damn last paragraph read like some copypasta you'd see in a Youtube comment lmao. I'm telling ya, that f***ing Navy Seal tough guy copypasta is Ronda. lmao Ronda @ Becky: "What the f*** did you just f***ing say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the f*** out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my f***ing words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, f***er. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot."

What is this angle even about anymore? It's such a convoluted mess. Pro wrestling should be easy. It's putting two characters with opposing morals and/or ideologies in conflict by contrasting those aspects against one another. Then you have a match and one wins. Why is this so hard these days? If fans get invested in these characters, you don't have to jump hoops to try and keep them on their toes. Trust me, they want to go along for the ride. Exactly. Russoism doesn't work because the crowd wants to be invested in an exciting narrative. You don't need to pull back the curtain to make wrestling believable.

Well...I was really excited for women to get the main event of Wrestlemania for the first time ever.

I really love in the MCU when Tony Stark breaks character and starts bitching about how Tom Holland got such a mega push when Spider-Man's film rights are owned by Sony, then says "I'm shootin here guys" and talks about James Gunn getting fired as Thanos' CGI just kinda fades away to Josh Brolin standing there awkwardly like this

Sad thing is if you take Ronda out of it, you might as well find another main event. Even if you think they added Charlotte to make the match better, the main appeal of it was watching Ronda and Becky finally square off. Becky and Charlotte's chemistry is off the charts and they always have great matches, but it's been done a bunch of times already in the past 6 or 7 months alone.

But never in the main event of Wrestlemania. They could spice it up and make it a 60 minute Iron Woman match. I honestly think that could be the best women’s match of all time.

I mean it'd still be a better match than the main event of the last 3 WMs, but even as the biggest Becky mark there is, I'd rather see Kofi get his moment or even watch Seth slay the Beast. Becky vs. Charlotte would be a hell of an opener, though.
