That apathy & awkwardness last night was classic.

Imagine being called a weirdo by someone who's wearing that outfit.

Ronda being this black belt Olympic badass in a ring but an awkward weirdo in promos is so endearing. She's awesome.

I can relate to her social awkwardness. I think it makes her so interesting because in the blink of an eye she can be like an awkward high schooler who doesn't fit in, to someone who can rip your arm off without trying. If anything they should play into it more. |

It's a perfect insult and Becky's delivery cracks me up every time.

I know she could rip my head off, but if she'd pull her funny badass face while doing so, I'd still laugh. Ronda's a prime example for why the believable illusion in wrestling is worth more than awkward reality. What worked for Angle doesn't work for her in my book and I can't point to exactly why. Maybe because she's first and foremost Ronda the person.

Ronda being this black belt Olympic badass in a ring but an awkward weirdo in promos is so endearing. She's awesome. I’d usually agree. But she just sounded sleepy on Monday. Her early return has been so dull and lifeless, and I really hope she turns back on the sports entertaining switch before Mania. |

Ronda might legit be one of the worst talkers in wrestling.

Ronda Rousey grew up with a developmental condition called apraxia of speech. It’s a disorder that leaves someone unable to talk smoothly the way most people are supposed to. She also has severe social anxiety and an unhealthy relationship with rejection. All of this is why she’s mentioned in the past that she simply just wants to be the female Brock. Someone who kicks ass and has someone else talk for them.
So what do these absolute f****** idiots at WWE do every time she’s booked on TV? They give her a mic and tell her to cut these long promos that she’s clearly uncomfortable cutting and are just death.
That’s how WWE operates these days. It’s a miracle anybody is over.

WWE have a REALLY bad habit of making people who are not good speakers, cut promos. They’re lazy and are unwilling to change how they do things. And it just makes talent look worse than necessary.

This is insightful & helps me understand her perspective. Give her someone as a mouthpiece and just let her do what people want to watch her do. |

Kurt Angle says he's doing stuff for WWE for the next few weeks, I wouldn't mind him as Ronda's mouthpiece given their in ring history.

No joke, if Ronda is going to have a manager, I'm down for Bivens in that spot. Kinda fits the Diamond Mine and the "money match" theme.

I know Vince probably thinks anxiety is 'pussy shit' and would fire anyone who tried to explain this, but imagine being Ronda Rousey, who the company will grovel and bend over backwards for, who has a diminished star but still easily doesn't need WWE in any way, and even still not being able to get them to stop doing the lazy shit they do with everyone. Even Ronda doesn't have the stroke to have any influence over this and stop them from the same garbage autopilot crap. Clueless, lazy, idiotic. |

I'm really not here for another Ronda Rousey run.
What makes this even worse is, we are supposed to cheer her.
She just doesn't "get" the business in my opinion. Look how she acted when she got booed, she looked like she was on the verge of tears cause her fragile ego couldn't handle it. Someone who "gets the business" embraces that and heels it up.
Then there was that whole "This shit is fake" promo on social media which was absolutely embarrassing. Combine that with her lack of willingness to sell pretty much anything unless it's Charlotte or Becky doing it and we've got a nightmare on our hands. She's not bad in the ring by any stretch, I actually think she's picked it up really quickly. It's her personality and attitude I don't like.
Liv should be winning the title at Mania. The fans were ready for it.
