No match suggestions……..? lol I mean she doesn't have bangers like the 4HW did, but I liked the triple threat with Blair and Meiko and the matches with Zoey and Wendy. The War Games match was good, as was the Fatal Fourway at Stand and Deliver. The triple threat with Blair and Meiko makes me want a Mandy vs Meiko match. Mandy was more than holding her own in that match, and I think she and Meiko could deliver. She might need a stronger top though, she was adjusting that thing like crazy.

She's worked pretty hard to get her heel character over and has seemingly been nothing but a pro working NXT.

She’s wrestling’s fifth best rose behind Nyla Rose, Buddy Rose, Thunder Rosa and Pete Rose. I know this is a joke but Pete Rose had sex with an underage girl and to this day seems proud of it, so he can f*** right off that list forever.

Nobody’s mentioned it yet but she has busted her ass since Tough Enough, where she was the runner up but was the obvious best of the bunch.
I think it’s kinda stupid for her to be judged by her looks and that she didn’t come from the indies. Who cares about her work rate? She’s VERY good. We’ve had plenty of men and women world champs who had far worse work rates and they’re HOFs now. Mandy Rose is great on the mic, very believable in the ring, and her she’s got the IT look.
I’m definitely ready to see Meiko take her titles but that’s only because Toxic Attraction should be called up.

I think she still struggles on the mic, at least when she's doing scripted promos in the ring. When she does stuff like on the Worlds Collide kickoff or her IG page she comes off as natural.

Honestly, I can't remember any match specifics. But she has been involved in and received some pretty good pre/post match beatdowns. She can really make some people offense look like death (Which I guess works with the thread title, lolol). From an in-ring perspective I honestly think her selling might be her strength these days.

She needs an actual feud (which is the problem with all of wrestling these days, here's endless random matches that mean nothing just to have something on the show), her title reign has just been "the mandy rose challenger of the week". Someone shows up, says "I want you mandy rose", the next week they have a match, mandy wins, challenger disappears. The next week, someone shows up and says "I want you mandy rose", the next week they have a match, mandy wins, the challenger disappears, etc over and over. They need to build a feud up that carries over from week to week, and is about someone is mad at her personally, because it comes across as they are just chasing whoever has the title around. If mandy loses the title, then everyone will turn and chase whoever now has the title around. Everything is just "you have the title, I want the title, let's have a match". It's the same problem that everyone on every show has these days, they're just chasing whoever has the title around, instead of saying "this isn't about the title, I want YOU". No one is mad at each other, they're just fighting over an object, and if the champion loses, then everyone will go over and chase the new champion around. When they release a press statement saying "we have a new head of creative", it's telling you "this show is scripted" so it's hard to sell that anyone is actually mad at each other, and they're all just chasing the company champion around. I wish that they would bring back "the winner gets money" to explain why matches are happening. This match isn't for a title and they're not fighting because they're mad at each other and so they want to fight and beat each other, why is this match happening in the first place? Because the winner gets money and they need to win the match to get the money, like joining a sports tournament or something, so now there's at least an explanation for matches that are just randomly happening at least.
On a side note, I did laugh at the mandy vs sonia feud when they were doing the hair vs hair stuff. They were fighting over taking selfies and being pretty and doing photoshoots, lol.
Anyway, she seems like a fine employee, shows up, does what they want and doesn't cause any problems, so I can see why they'd have her be the champion. Everyone else on the show is coming and going, at different levels skillwise, she's one of the only ones with something resembling a character (except that you could team her with tiffany stratton, and what would be the difference, like when she teamed with dana brooke), so if you need someone to put the title on to hold the ship down, she's as good as any that they have. They should've kept nattie in nxt as used her as "I'm a serious wrestler, and you're going to have to get through me" kind of thing, use her as mandy's blocker, like arn would run interference for flair, have nattie as the "you have to beat her first to get to mandy" bodyguard kind of thing. We don't need every girl doing the "ugh, I'm so hot and all of you are just like....not" character. She does seem to work better in a team than alone by herself, sonia and mandy, otis and mandy, toxic attraction, etc.

We don't need every girl doing the "ugh, I'm so hot and all of you are just like....not" character. They'll do some elaborate stuff sometimes with her feuds but it's usually weird goofy stuff that also doesn't put any heat on Mandy because she's the one usually being antagonized. Stuff like Alba Fyre throwing cake at her or Wendy Choo adding heat while she's in a tanning bed to make her look super red or Cora Jade setting up Home Alone style traps on her and her two minions. I feel with her being the leader of a group makes it an even more missed opportunity as ic could to some easy personal feuds but yet don't do it. Like why not have Toxic Attraction jump and injure one of her face challengers really bad and then you can have the face come back hell bent on revenge. I mean I guess that was kind of her feud with Zoey Stark but that only came about because Zoey was actually legit hurt and they needed a way to write her off. Then they followed up on when she eventually came back. It wasn't like they planned it that way.

Yeah, it was a triple threat match where Mandy pinned Blair for the win.
That being said, I think if Meiko ends up sticking around, she's the strongest candidate to dethrone Mandy. Mainly because there is no other babyface now, outside of Nikkita, which would be an all time bad idea.

He had an affair with a girl in the 70s. He was 34, married with 2 kids, she was under 18. Age of consent in Ohio was (is?) 16 and he claims she was that age when the sexual relationship began and it was confined to Ohio. She claims otherwise. Either way statue of limitations has expired. So possibly illegal and if not still scummy.

By the way I do actually think Mandy is a solid worker and that post about her V trigger is accurate. Her knee looks like it murders people

Putting the title on her wasn’t a bad idea imo. But there’s no reason she should be holding it for a full year. Her reign ran out of steam months ago.
She needs to drop it in her next defense. There’s too many talented women there now for this to keep going.
