I appreciate it more than I appreciate Lacey Evans! I said that! I thought I was being generous...

I appreciate it more than Nia Jax accidentally hurting people and sweating out of her butt crack. I appreciate it more than The Bella Twins forgetting what parts of their bodies moves hurt. I EVEN appreciate MORE than Rhonda squinting her nose and trying to look ferocious (she's just cute as a button!)

All of this! I feel like someone should have told Ronda she doesn't look mad or fierce, or even determined, she looks like she's running for a toilet.

I like Alexa, not as much as Red for reasons that should probably be pretty obvious, but I like her. She's fantastic at what she does, but she's never going to be in a work-rate type match like Charlotte or Sasha or Becky or Asuka. Her strengths are on her character, and she is proficient in the ring.

I can't say any of this for Lacey...

See. This is what I mean. I think that if you gave Alexa a submission finisher that could be built to throughout the match instead of the Generic DDT(tm) her matches would vastly improve because there is something to build towards. I put the blame on the agents and WWE TV's general lack of focus on psychology. Other than the Japanese women, the only ones on the main roster who really tell stories in their matches are Charlotte and Nattie. Everyone else mostly just does stuff.

I think she would greatly benefit from some new signature moves. I'm not super sold on Twisted Bliss either, and she definitely seems to me to be the kind of person who would rather tap someone out than pin someone, with that evil grin on her face as she does it. I never really thought about it until you put the bug in my head but yeah, this would work much better.

The problem with Twisted Bliss is that it's a babyface move (most top rope moves other than stuff like a Vader Bomb are) so Alexa using it as a finisher as a heel inherently gets the "cool move" pop.

And serves to undo all of her heat, yeah, I have noticed that.

And Dozer, she's not awful, I don't know what your vendetta is against her. I'm not saying she's the best, but she's still really good. I like her more than a lot of the ladies on the main roster actually,

She's really not good at all. My only vendetta is this constant BRM talk of her being better than the rest of us give her credit for lol...
