I really like Lesnar too. I feel like Brock, Roman & Cena are the only guys they could still sell a show with. I just don't think there's big mass appeal for the likes of Edge, Drew McIntyre or Bobby Lashley. On the women side, Becky, Ronda & maybe Charlotte? I don't actually know how well received Charlotte is.

Like I said, she is inevitable. She was basically running the women's division on all three shows at the same time, regardless of how one felt about the quality of the matches. No way she doesn't have a match at Wrestlemania.
March 29, 20214 yr comment_5944008 It will probably end up being Asuka vs. Charlotte vs. Rhea at Mania - hardly the end of civilization as we know it. Unlike Charlotte being shoehorned into Becky vs. Ronda, her inclusion actually enhances this match because of her Mania history with both. I'm cool with it. Asuka vs. Rhea is not a compelling match - no story, no build, feels thrown together at the last minute (because it was) - nothing except good rasslin', which never means a damn thing in a vacuum. It needs Charlotte as the connecting tissue.
March 29, 20214 yr Author comment_5944009 If she takes the fall I'll gratefully eat crow on this one.

March 29, 20214 yr comment_5944014 I am tired of Charlotte in this position personally. And I know she most likely doesn't read this forum so my message of "go easy on her" isn't directly literal. But I will say today is the anniversary of her brother's death and she has just recovered from testing positive for COVID-19. I'd rather she been kept in her intended spot than being removed from it.
March 29, 20214 yr comment_5944016 I'd usually prefer a Asuka/Ripley singles match. That was even more true at the time of the Rumble when Ripley was one of the final two. I was looking forward to Ripley and Belair simultaneously challenging two fairly strong champions for the belts. But it seems they decided to go with Evans/Charlotte with Ric involvement and to to hold off on Ripley's debut. Then Evans got pregnant so they had to change plans. Anyway, long story short, the Asuka/Ripley match is pretty cold as it is. Charlotte probably should be included - it doesn't water it down in the same way that her addition to Rousey/Lynch did. There's a bit more going on there with her involvement. Charlotte in general gets a bloody rough time from wrestling fans, I find.
March 29, 20214 yr comment_5944017 It's like I was saying in the thread about the aging of wrestling fans. A title match should be able to sell itself. Asuka's the champion. Rhea wants to be champion. You don't need to add a third competitor to add layers of plot and intrigue.
March 30, 20214 yr comment_5944028 I don't care Sheamus is a face to me, keep beating up that geek Riddle.

March 30, 20214 yr Author comment_5944030 I'd say it goes both ways. They could've built the Raw Women's Title more effectively without necessarily adding Charlotte. But hey if they do it and it leads to good things... Rhea can't always be chasing after Charlotte, y'know.
March 30, 20214 yr Author comment_5944031 Wait I missed the beginning of the show and the Hurt Business disbanded FUCK THIS They are doing everything in their power to guarantee Lashley doesn't get better reactions than Drew. Next week we'll find out Lashley is actually Canadian.

March 30, 20214 yr comment_5944038 Man, they didn't have to have Miz and Morrison's song to jam so much but they did. And I appreciate that.
March 30, 20214 yr comment_5944041 Kid cut a better promo than most of the roster, easily the highlight of the show.
