After her last two MMA fights, are we sure that Ronda can break anything BUT the long-dead concept of "kayfabe"? The only thing broken is Ronda’s soul after Amanda Nunez took it.

The worst part of this isn't the shirt, it's the concept, it's the notion of this kayfabe breaking Russo shit that they keep pounding into peoples heads because this is what they deem to be entertaining. It's not. It just isn't in any sense of the word. No one is interested in this shit, they were interested in the concept of Becky Lynch clawing her way to the top and against all odds getting her shot as "The Baddest Woman on the Planet", and at this point it has just turned into such a shitfest, that I wish it was just Becky vs Charlotte for the belt and Ronda wasn't any part of this or wrestling ever again. She disgraces the sport just by being in it at this point, treating it like a cheap joke that honestly sets the company and the sport back years, especially when it comes to their "Womens Evolution"
You had an easy job to do, and instead of "The most important women's match in WWE History", you get this, a shitshow where everyone no matter the outcome is just shaking their heads at once again a WWE "what could have been if they weren't f***ing stupid"
Stupid. Absolutely stupid. If this doesn't even main event Mania anymore I won't be shocked.

I think I've lost all interest in this match and that sucks.
*Ronda bursts into my house and yells LOL ARE YOU OFFENDED???"*

I just don't get what's supposed to be enjoyable about this. Where am I supposed to find the fun if wondering if Ronda is really going cowboy or if this is WWE, if it's not on the show because they want to add a sense of "dangerous realism" to it by keeping it only on social media, if they want people to buy Ronda is actually going to shoot. Where is the enjoyment in solving this mystery? Because I love a good mystery. True Detective season 3 ended last month and that was some solid television. I will happily spend months strung along hoping for a good conclusion to the mystery, piecing together the bits in my head as I know them and hoping I can be a step ahead of the show. That's really not happening here, this is just bad and exhausting, and I don't see what's supposed to be entertaining about this.

I can only think that it’s because they believe that they must get REAL EMOTIONAL REACTIONS from their fanbase by any means, and since most of the fanbase now, particularly here on the internet, are so invested in the meta-narrative, they’re leaning on that harder than ever. That’s why Seth Rollins is out to save us from the lazy part-timer Brock Lesnar, that’s why Becky Lynch now has fight both the holier-than-thou REAL FIGHTER Ronda Rousey AND the office favourite Charlotte Flair, and that’s why Vince McMahon is making Kofi Kingston jump through the ring of fire, through the ring of ice and over the dog doo on a stick on a motorcycle while unlocking a safe on his head before he gets a world title shot. They’re never going to say why he’s doing that because we’ve already made up our minds why he is, according to them.

I mean at least in the sense of Seth and Kofi's fueds its actually happening on the show. What's the point of all Ronda's BS if it doesn't actually exist in canon?

Absolutely stupid. If this doesn't even main event Mania anymore I won't be shocked. All they had to do was make a simple video Shot of Rousey training in a gym with a projection of the Hogan/Andre staredown on the wall, Gorilla's "The irresistible force meeting the immovable object!" plays. Shot of Charlotte training in a gym with a projection of Taker/HBK facing off in the Streak vs Career match, someone yelling "The Showcase of the Immortals!" Shot of Becky training with a projection of Tyson raising Austin's hand and JR yelling "The Stone Cold Era has begun!" Then a split screen of all the women looking determined and saying "It's OUR turn now" IT'S SO SIMPLE, yet they've turned it into something even Russo would have struggled to come up with.

Vince is that guy at your job that hates working there, but isn't good enough to do anything else. He hates the rasslin business but everything else he has tried he has failed. Concert promoter failed. Bodybuilding Federation failed. Icopro failed. Restaurant failed. Casino failed. Her wife running for senate and the wwe trying to swing voters failed. Most of the wwe movies? Straight to Betamax. You left out the forgettable attempt at promoting boxing and the colossal failure that was the XFL, which I can’t believe he’s trying again.

They’re never going to say why he’s doing that because we’ve already made up our minds why he is, according to them. That's why I'm past "Vince is in a wrestling bubble". Vince is in a f***ing Vince bubble now. The kind of out of touch he is has nothing to do with not seeing movies and everything to do with being so cut off from the culture that he has no idea why people like TV shows or what his fanbase will actually care about, and it's embarrassing. The only reason people care about the metanarrative of backstage stuff is because it influences the show we care about, once those two things become the same with zero artistic purpose or merit it's just a f***ing drag. I mean at least in the sense of Seth and Kofi's fueds its actually happening on the show. What's the point of all Ronda's BS if it doesn't actually exist in canon? To make us think it's not really a work and that she's really shooting, because now we don't know if it's her doing this on her own or if it's the company doing it. If she only shoots on her own then she must be really unhappy and once she actually snaps nobody will see it coming. Or at least, I think that's the idea, and the fact I have to peel all these garbled layers of nonreality away just to understand what the f*** is happening is so much of why I hate everything about this story.

I keep mentioning this, but there’s no real point in doing any of this if it’s not going to be brought up on TV, and two weeks after the first thing of it on the blog, there hasn’t been one peep about it on TV. So all it’s doing is turning off an internet fanbase to the point of them now actively dreading the match, which sounds ludicrous given how hot people were for it two months ago, and is INCREDIBLY unfair to Lynch and Flair, who have mostly stayed within the lines, so to speak, and undermines their hard work and even undermines Rousey’s work in trying to learn the craft she’s becoming so apparently resentful of. Rousey’s that little shit who chooses Dynamite when playing Rock, Paper, Scissors and seems confused when nobody wants her to play anymore. Totally not fair to Flair

I haven't seen anyone just burn up all their goodwill so fast in a long time. I can't stand her and even I was willing to give her a chance because she seemed to really at least be trying to do well. But this is just annoying and she's dragging Becky amd Charlotte down into this shit with her

Oh I can’t believe I missed his worst failure ever the xfl. Also let’s not forget he tried to executive produce the Rock movies before he told Vince to f*** off.

I tried telling y’all, once things don’t go her way, she becomes irrational and stops making any semblance of sense. She refused to give mma interviews once she got her ass kicked, the tuf season also exposed her as a moron.
