If they built this up over time with Ronda becoming slowly "unhinged" as time goes on and then her fully snapping this would been one thing but they did a complete 180 on this If Heyman wanted to help this story so badly he should been like f** it i'll manage Ronda on TV so she can stand there looking mean like Brock They could have had her "snap" exactly like Shamrock or Backlund. They done f***ed this up by overcomplicating an easy story. Whoever gave birth to these dumbass twists needs to remember KISS. Keep It Simple, Stupid. They are just so bad with this Ronda has always had that quality of smiling but when she's pissed the smile is gone and she's ready to break you. Instead of even playing off that, they just went stupid.
Like you said they could did the Shamrock or Backlund route as well. Have her f*** people up just because she can and just be screaming say my name bitch.
This shit is much easier than they are making it

Yeah, I can see WWE giving permission for this. Think it's a combination of her being genuinely hurt that the fans chose Becky over her and WWE telling her to say what she feels. I mean it's f***ing dumb to give her permission to say these things, but this company is batshit crazy. "Baron Corbin, you're the reason for falling ratings. You're why the ratings are hitting record lows. We're going to remove you from being GM, and still push you. That should fix it."

Is this the work of Paul Heyman? Not confirmed. Just a theory being floated around. Certainly possible though.

I cannot see him going all shooty like this but I can see him pushing for something like "You're a legit badass, why are you playing nice with them? All you tried to do was help Becky because you wanted that match but Becky kept screwing it up and now the fans are booing you. Quit playing games and kick their asses" There is a fine line to walk and most could but Ronda tripped over the damned thing and landed in Russo's pile of old scripts.

When it comes to the social media stuff, I'm just finding it a bit hard to go "Oh, WWE f***ed it up" based on that, because that implies that WWE are writing what Lynch, Rousey AND Charlotte are saying on their own personal social media pages to try and build up the feud. I could only really blame WWE for either not roping them all in and laying out some guidelines, or for any faults there are with the feud as it's presented through what Lynch, Rousey and Charlotte do on the TV programs themselves, which have an entirely different set of issues to it. I'm just trying to make sense because some of this social media stuff is so inflammatory that I don't think they'd try to bring it up on TV, so there's a whole lot of fans that are missing out on context that has apparently skewered the entire feud. And even if they did, it'd be a first because, really, when have they EVER referenced Rousey's video diaries? They've never been in kayfabe, as far as I'm aware. I hope that made more sense than all of this already is.

Is this the work of Paul Heyman? Assuming this is really a work (brother!) I think it’s got Heyman behind it.

The dumbest part about angles like this and the Triple H/Batista worked shoots, is that they are effectively saying to you "The other 13 matches on the card are phoney shit, but these two are real". A great way to completely undermine your industry!

Holy shit... They’ve absolutely lost their minds. That or they’re that desperate to keep Ronda around.
I hope her thin-skinned ass leaves because I’m tired of her bullshit. She cannot take any sort of criticism even when she is playing a character. Remember that promo with Becky where it looked like she was just about to lose her mind? I bet if they didn’t turn her heel, she would have literally cried at Wrestlemania when she got booed. Ronda Rousey is TRASH. Besides being a little bitch, she has some terrible views.
I bet when she was a kid playing Pokemon Stadium, she turned off the console when the other kids were beating her.

If I am casual UFC fan or a Minivan Suburban Mom Casual Fan what is more likely to get me watch WM? A well crafted storyline that has a historic significance as the 1st Women's match to Headline a Wrestling Event aka a sport/competition I don't watch Hearing about Ronda going apeshit on social media,to a point where you have no idea if she is gonna shoot and beat the **it out of these WWE women? The tv story may border btwn LOLTNA and Russo bad level,but they are gonna get some eyeballs on this and Becky and Charlotte's will actually benefit from this I think this is exactly the logic they're going for. They're hoping casuals/non-fans will watch out of the possibility of seeing something go off the rails live/a legit fight, and that wrestling fans will hate Ronda for breaking kayfabe and like Becky/Charlotte for maintaining it and thus boo the f*** out of Ronda- because the general pattern for over a decade now is that most heat is go-away heat because it's damn hard to be an effective heel without getting 'cool heel' cheers or 'the bad guy is right' pops or support for their ability as a performer. I think it's dumb, inane logic that is producing a f***ing terrible build to the match and turning what was a legitimately hotly anticipated main event into "GOLDBERG DOESNT FOLLOW THE SCRIPT" levels of impending trainwreck, it's been so bad I've gone from not wanting anything but this to main event to not even being sure that ANY of the potential main events feel like a main event now. But I think that's what WWE are going for. "f*** you Ronda for shitting on the business" vs "Lmao dude Ronda Rousey's gonna beat up those fake WWE chicks cause she's crazy". The storyline nobody asked for.

If I wasn't such a goddamn Becky stan, I would've moved on from this weeks ago. *sighs*
The shit we're willing to put up with for our faves, FAN.

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 "Cardboard cut-out of Thanos squinting that everyone has to look up at when they're doing scenes so their eyes are in the right position" is basically my reaction to all of this nonsense

Either Ronda's "unhinged" promo is a shoot and she's gone completely off-the-rails. Or it's a work and we have an early frontrunner for the Gooker. Shoot, work, or worked shoot, or working yourself into a shoot (marks), it's pure garbage.

I know Becky stomping her into paste on social media isn't helping anyone but I want so badly for her to tweet "You also say that about Sandy Hook" and for Ronda to just f***ing disintegrate where she stands.

Becky might as well take the gloves off and just go all in on her. Not like it's going to make this any worse, especially since she at least keeps kayfabe.

There is something just so hilarious about her going all shooty and bad-ass while using a term like "WWE Universe."

Quoting myself but she's ahead of my schedule... Definitely, I imagine she's gonna trash the fanbase approximately 3 minutes after she leaves and WWE will just be like "haha yeah!" then she'll start trashing the company shortly after. Also good god even with record profits and stuff WWE manages to feel like they're falling apart in flaming wreckage just waiting to smash into the ground. If you thought the death of WCW was a little too slow and obvious then fear not because WWE is tracking to pull off the f***ing Heaven's Gate of professional wrestling.
