You know what offends me most about the Alexa stuff? Beyond the fact that it's downright terrible is the fact that she is really leaning into the "cutsey, little girl" stuff. It's an angle that is casting her to appeal to guys into DDLG, a really horrible "kink" that's gaining popularity nowadays. 

Afraid to google that.  But if it's what I think it stands for, yes, it's hard not to get the vibe that this is designed to appeal to their super hardcore audience of creepy old men.  Or their creepy old man boss

I'm not sure if Rousey is ever coming back.

Pretty sure I heard she's been training with Teal Piper.

I dont know. I watched the Alexa Bliss and Asuka interview segment on Raw, and the match from later in the show, and I didnt get the impression that Alexa Bliss' little girl stuff was supposed to be sexual. I feel bad if it comes off that way to a lot of people because I don't believe that's the intent. Like George Steele or Norman the Lunatic were supposed to be childlike but not sexual. I dont think it's good however.

She actually posted a video of that session about a month ago on her YouTube account:

The vibe I always got from the Alexa Bliss new character is really akin to the kids TV shows like Big Comfy Couch (she admittedly said she watched it to help build her character) but I can understand how for some, it feels so uncomfortable. I'm very well in the minority on this board about her character and I respect all of your stance on it (I like stuff that goes outside the box and feels different but that's just me). My main concern right now is that I just hope that the pre-taped stuff doesn't become a crutch for her character because that won't fly too well once they get filled arenas again. Given the current circumstances, I'm OK with how they're developing it but they have to start immediately to limit those pre-tapes as much as possible. You just can't pull what they did in the main event of RAW during the Women's Rumble Match, you just can't. It would be a logistical nightmare.

I think if Alexa was doing this character in any other company other than the one run by a guy known for his creepy fetishes, it probably wouldn't come off as uncomfortable to so many.

Just knowing so much in WWE is designed simply for Vince's amusement gives it such a creepy vibe, even if it wasn't the intention.

Becky Lynch just posted a picture with Roux and bubbas she's one of the greats in this business.

Yes, I don't suggest googling that. Some people claim it has some therapeutic aspects to process past trauma. It might, but it also is a gateway for people who have tendencies towards minors. I don't discuss my time in prison much because it's the past and I have changed my life but I was in a low security prison due to having a short sentence. This place was federal and had a satellite location that housed a program for rehabilitating  sex offenders (I want to stress that I AM NOT ONE. I just had the misfortune of being housed where they kept their over population until a spot opened up in the satellite location. Again, I AM NOT AN SO.) Now, some of these men had real backgrounds where they themselves were abused and I felt badly for a few. I even came across a guy who got screwed because he turned 18 when his girlfriend was 17 and her dad called the police because she sent him nude photos. Due to the photos being sent over the internet, the case became federal, and it was an election year when it happened and everyone wanted to add another notch to the "we bust sex offenders and child porn producers" belt so he got hit hard. 18 and was spending 10+ years in federal prison with gang members and all kinds of bad people (I'm not leaving myself out, I was a bad person). Plus for the rest of his life he has to register as an SO. Ruined his life. Anyway, long story short, a lot of these SOs started by indulging in this DDLG fantasy. It's bad and dangerous. And here WWE is, throwing it on national TV. No telling what kinds of people are watching this and having weird thoughts. I thought the presentation of Bailey was bad enough, especially when they brought in that one young girl fan of hers. Plus that little girl's parents started putting her out on indie cards and meet and greets....it really skeeved me out. 

 

I know Wrestling Fans, the IWC, whatever you want to call it, get a bad reputation that is, in many cases, undeserved, but there's a reason I don't associate with wrestling fans in real life, for the most part. There's a reason I post here, Wrestling Classics and DVDVR only. I follow only a few fans on Twitter, mainly people that have some form of connection to promotions. In short, thank you guys for being cool and non-creepy. Or at least keeping the creepy off of this site. I'm sure we all have "creep squad" moments (shout out to Faye) but those are way different than "creeping on a little girl who WWE brought into their story lines" or "perving on Alexa because she dresses like a ten year old and is small."

Oooof. I'm so sorry, I didn't realize how old the post I replied to was. 

No problem, bubba. If this place can take off some pressure or alleviate life in some way or another, it's all good.

I believe that's what most of us are looking for, to be honest.
