Eh, she doesn't really look like Trish. Except for the hair and boobs, which you could say about probably 2/3 of the roster.

The one time I saw Maria in person she was so orange that I was literally "taken aback" by it and couldn't notice anything else.

I mean, I know what causes it. But it's still jarring to see real people looking like that.

It's not just the writing and booking (though that is the biggest problem). I'd also cut a lot of the dead weight in terms of the talent who are okay just being in WWE and don't care what they do as long as they get paid and are put on the show in some capacity. A lot of wasted talent and potential on the roster because some talent simply don't care and/or don't have the balls to pull an Austin, Punk, HBK, Heyman, Kurt, Jericho, Rock, Taker, and tell the folks in charge what's up.

It really is. It's also so obvious and fake looking, I don't really get why people do it. I know WWE talent don't have a ton of free time, but I'd rather be pale or just get some actual sun that look like that.

I'm not saying it's her fault, or that they should just quit. I'm just saying that average or slightly above average talent and writing is now accepted as great because it gets over with a slight majority of fans. She's far from the worst talent sure, and yes, she's got a pretty face and a pretty decent ass for her body type. She's over with a slight majority of people. None of that makes her great or actually over in the grand scheme of things though. It just makes the whole scenario mediocre and people accept this mediocrity as greatness, which is the problem.

If we judging women wrestlers based on their ass Naomi should still be champ.

Great is relative anyway. I mean I've seen her enough to know there's holes in her game, but there's something VERY enjoyable about her. Why not bestow praise upon her for being pretty good at what she does?
The fact that the talent pool is shallow makes her being "decent" stand out more. Sure, it makes her seem better than she is, but the fact that everyone is generic, and she stands out makes it more likely to heap the love onto her. Hell, Edge and Christian were putting her over huge... pretty sure I heard Austin saying he was impressed with her work. There's work to be done with her, but a lot of people feel there's much to be excited about. She's a relative newcomer, after all... think she only started in 2013. |

I like her because she has worked very hard to improve, and genuinely cares about her performance. Go back and watch one of her earlier nxt matches and the difference is night and day. She puts on a better performance every time I see her, and I think she is eventually going to become a truly great worker. Reminds me of Trish in that regard.

Also believe some people here are downplaying how good her promo and character work are. Not just the promos themselves, but the delivery, her timing, and her facial expressions are all on point. Yes it's a familiar character archtype, but I feel she executes it extremely well.

I think the one thing that's tough with the girls these days compared to Trish and Lita (honestly those two are in a league of their own) is that they could hang with the guys.
No, that doesn't mean they were anywhere near as good technicians, but they seem like they belonged in the shark tank. They had no problems taking a fucking beating and paying their dues, and in those moments when they dished it out, it was believable. There was a magic those 2 had with their personalities, which while the girls today are better athletes and "wrestlers", they aren't better talents. Alexa to me at least, isn't completely wooden like the rest of them |

Lita was a skank. Who hasn't she fucked in the locker room?
She should just be a groupie. |

This is a bit of a two way street though. You can easily turn that around say that if you don't like some of the stuff in the industry today, just ignore it. Why get worked up about it when there is so many types of wrestling, so easily accessible?

Lita couldn't wrestle but I still thought she was great. I do get not liking her, but she had an "it" factor

hey man, people gave a shit. And for all her flaws, she worked her ass off, and was a larger than life personality. Girls fucking worshipped Lita.

I like watching New Japan occasionally but the cultural/language barrier hampers it. WWE is the only company currently capable of hitting all the check marks so the fact that they've been so complacent and haven't really tried for the past decade and a half is maddening. |

That's fine. I totally get not being happy with WWE. It's people etting upset and going on rants over stuff they don't even watch that's befuddling to me.

As I've mentioned 300 times, I don't watch women's wrestling, but I sometimes saw more Lita than Hardys signs, for what it's worth. Oh and when she would make some top rope move the cheers were massive.
