Think of all the talented women in the wrestling business who you'd assume are brimming with ideas and they turn to her. No shit. Not only in the pro-wrestling business, but get some women scriptwriters who can actually write for women characters. It can't be that hard. That company baffles me. They will never ever get out of the bubble.
March 1, 20196 yr comment_5880787 Apparently she hasn't been offered a full time job yet. They're testing the waters first.

That seems like a really shallow, shortsighted mission then. I mean, yeah. I'm commenting about their awful Twitter feud on a message board. But I also discovered their Tweets on a message board. I'm not "following" these people. I'm not watching their television. I'm not enticed or hooked by anything they're saying or doing. It's all terrible. Most of us are simply disagreeing as to HOW horrible it's been. So, I mean... If their aim was to fail, then sure. Mission accomplished, I guess..?
March 2, 20196 yr comment_5880793 While all this Twitter fuss is going on, Charlotte is posting pictures of her and RUSH so she's winning at social media.

March 2, 20196 yr comment_5880809 So on TV Ronda is all "Let's make history Becky!" "Think about your daughters, Steph!" On Twitter she's "Fuck you, Rebecca, I'm going to punch you for real because I hate your face so much!" There's quite a disconnect here. Are they trying to shoot the angle they wanted because they realize WWE is trying to keep Ronda a babyface in this feud?
March 2, 20196 yr comment_5880821 I'm the oldest 30 year-old to have ever lived, I guess. But I sure do miss it when pro wrestling promos were something that happened on their actual shows. Oh, and ya know. Good.

Are they trying to shoot the angle they wanted because they realize WWE is trying to keep Ronda a babyface in this feud? Listening to Dave from the other day, this Twitter stuff apparently is going on as intended. Ronda and Becky are doing this sort of on their own (Vince didn't come up with it but he's not stopping it either) and think this is a way to get the more hardcore fans worked up. He sees them getting mad as proof it's working, which I guess so. But it's also making one of your top stars you paid big money to get look like an unhinged loon. It's just leaving me gobsmacked that Ronda is coming up with all this and thinking "Yes. This is something I want out there as a reflection of me". That's before even addressing that this is some 2000 WCW "work the smarts" horseshit.
March 2, 20196 yr comment_5880824 I know it's a different landscape but Dave hated all the worked shoot stuff in late 90s/early 2000s wcw but loves this stuff? Like I said social media alters what reality is but still don't see much of a difference in what's going on here.

I would guess this actually betrays how much of a Ronda mark he is, because the whole shooty-shooty stuff is always bad, no matter who does it.
March 2, 20196 yr comment_5880826 2000 WCW really was next level bad though, that can't be stated enough. Worked shoot stuff can work if done right, it's just that the most famous examples of it are SO BAD.
March 2, 20196 yr comment_5880833 Worked shoot stuff like the Twitter war can work because when done sparingly it feels real. WCW did so much of it in a short period of time that nothing stood out and all it did was confuse viewers and turn them off
March 2, 20196 yr comment_5880834 Here's the thing though, if you choose to just ignore the twitter stuff, you'd be unaware of it as thus far, none of it has been mentioned on TV.

March 3, 20196 yr comment_5880841 On Instagram I believe, she also posted this pic on Twitter calling herself the Volaqueen (spoiler'd for hugeness) edited to include her description: "I’ll work on my Twitter game after Mania. For now, Lucha Libre training in Mexico City with my “top secret” trainer #volaqqueen"

If you just watch the TV, none of this nonsense would be part of the conversation. Now, if on Monday they start referencing the tweets then that's different.

Sure, and in a year's time, if you were to watch all this stuff again, there wouldn't be any references to the Tweets and those could all be forgotten. Thing is, more people follow wrestling on the internet than actually watch it on TV, as evidenced by the fact that something worthwhile (like Roman's announcement) brings some of that audience back to TV. So for MOST people, the Tweets and the Mania blowoff will be this feud. Most likely. Theoretically.
March 3, 20196 yr comment_5880880 Michael Che and Colin Jost of SNL appearing on Raw tomorrow. Revival Mania program initiated
March 4, 20196 yr comment_5880942 Arn was fired for allowing Alicia Fox to work intoxicated at a house show: https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2019/03/backstage-news-on-arn-anderson-wwe-firing-651600/ certainly a justifiable firing
March 4, 20196 yr comment_5880945 If true, that is absolutely a firing offense. And I can only imagine what kind of kompromat Alicia has at her disposal to have stuck around as long as she has.
March 4, 20196 yr comment_5880948 Of all the road agents, I'd never thought it would actually be Arn Anderson who would've committed that kind of mistake.
March 4, 20196 yr comment_5880949 But Alicia still has a job? Until we know that's no longer the case, I'm going to call BS on this rumor.
