It's pretty f***ing dumb and they have along with herself killed all the goodwill she built up her first 6 months
In saying that, i'm not going lose my mind over it but this is pretty stupid

I really wish WWE would stop trying to "work the smarks" and started just making an entertaining product again. Maybe their product wouldn't be so garbage.

This was literally my reaction. I burst out laughing because I can't believe they don't realize how stupid this all is, and how much it actually sucks.

They don't have to be full of this "insider" bullshit. Just take the people we loudly tell you that we like, and put them in GOOD stories.

Not to feed any trolls, but I am actually legit baffled about the people acting like they can't possibly fathom what's shitty about this.
Like, no, this isn't being a good heel, because the point of being a good heel is that you pay to see them lose, and RONDA HAS SET IT UP SO SHE CAN'T LOSE. If she gets pinned by Becky, she can just go, "Ha ha, it was a fake match anyway."

Personally that shirt is the coolest thing Rhonda has done imo. Of course I don't watch this crap and haven't since she got there. Last Mania was the final straw for me. But from the things I gather on here. This is best thing she's done. And I think it worked. How did it work? I really don't get it. If DC put Lex Luthor in a t-shirt that said "No respect for comic book industry" and had him proceed to launch into a tirade about Superman being a fictional character, would that be a good idea too? Would the fact that it caused a buzz and got people talking mean that it worked?

WWE focuses SO much into "appealing" to certian publics they forget about the show. Like Roman it was all about pleasing the casuals,trying to get people see a muscular great looking guy. How they pushed JINDER MAHAL to please the Indian Market. Or try to go mainstream using cheap methos Or how they try to work the marks. They care more about superficial showcase than good stories.

Well, more basic than that, saying it worked a couple of sentences after saying "of course I don't watch this crap" kinda undermines that. Which is one of the main point, who does this appeal to? Anyone thinking "it's so cool she's crapping on wrestling" isn't going to be watching wrestling already. Anyone who IS watching will be thinking it's dumb as Hell.

Maaan, if you take the worked/shoot business and make it a mud wrestling match, Russo might wack it so hard he might yank it off

From a business standpoint, a good heel makes you more likely to buy an event, tune in to a TV show, or subscribe to the streaming platform specifically in the hope that this time, they get their comeuppance.
Ronda Rousey isn't doing any of those things for me. IMO, this Ronda Rousey is a terrible heel because she's actively killed my desire to watch the product because this shit is dumb.

What if Holly Holm or Amanda Nunes start trolling Ronda on twitter would she react? I kinda really wanna see that happen.

I honestly dont care about seeing either Ronda or Charlotte at this point,only Becky winning at the main event.The others are dispensable.

The problem with that is most of us weren't haters until she started pulling this crap. A lot of us were defending her and saying she had this under control and then she started crapping all over kayfabe. I've lost interest in the match that I'd been more excited for than just about any match of the past 10 years because of this crap. I don't hate her and I don't care enough about her to want to see her beaten at this point. If she left the company tomorrow I wouldn't really care. If she was aiming for apathy then she worked me good.

She would block them as soon as she saw their names, definitely one of those types that has no problem dishing it out but sure as hell cant take it. Also they would never do that as Holm and Nunes are actually nice people... unlike Rhonda.
