She's not a candidate mate.

She's in it.

She's HoF level

But she's not that great an actual wrestler

But hey, Hogan's in the HoF and he wasn't a good wrestler either. Incredible worker who could read a crowd like no other, but there have been actual better wrestlers

AJ is the most recent "diva" who has been both over with the crowd but also good in the ring

Charlotte will be the next. It's scary how good she is for someone still pretty much in their rookie year

I don't think we'll agree here mate.

I've not seen this Charlotte bird so will take your word on her.

Women wrestling is terrible. Doesn't matter if they are talented or not. Compared to the men's division it is horrible to watch.

Depends which women are doing the wrestling

Meiko Satamura, Manami Toyota, Bull Nakano, Sara Del Ray, Gail Kim, Cheerleader Melissa, Sarya Knight, Nikki Storm, April Davids, Velvet Mcintyre, Akira Hokuto Luna Vachon and others are all great value and regularly enjoyable to watch

They could wrestle rings around most men as well

Ok i will re word what i meant.

Women wrestling in the WWE are terrible and not worth watching. short matches, girls clearly there based on looks (where's the ugly ones who are talented?!) too much grunting all the time (i wonder why that is) and simply forgettable five minutes later.

You need to check out Natalya vs Charlotte at NXT Takeover at the end of May. It was a fantastic 20 minute + match, properly wrestled like a men's match and was great.

Part 1:

Part 2:

I think Rusev is excellent to be honest

Great act with him and Lana, the constant popcorning of the Americans with Putin and he's a pretty boss wrestler as well

Not the biggest bloke but he looks hard as nails. Gives of the impression that he eats nothing but pasta and meat and he then goes and fights bears in the woods. He's basically a smaller version of Zangeif if he were real

Such a retro character, but it works brilliantly

He should CRUSH Sheamus after Swagger to win the US Title and then finally you have Cena end his reign of terror. Writes itself

Completely disagree with this. Think it's lame and boring. Skip all the crap she talks everytime i watch, and him squashing people got old after about the 3rd one. MiTB match he had with Big E was the first decent thing he's done. Will be interesting to see how his Swagger feud goes. If they do more than have one match where Swagger wails on him with no effect for 5 minutes, then Rusef just hits him with the kick and the Accolade, then it will be worth watching.

I must say that Lana is doing very well for someone who doesn't really have a background in wrestling. She's an actor they've brought in and basically taught how to manage, but she's really taken to it. She isn't afraid to throw herself into the gimmick either. She's actually quite a good manager. Her reactions are a little bit over exagerated, but in general she's doing very well indeed for a non-worker

She's not exactly doing a lot is she? Just some pretty low level acting. Would hardly call her a 'worker'. The best thing she's done is the last few appearances where she's got 'riled' by the crowd, but slap a pair of fake tits on me and I could do that....

Moonsault's aren't really the best way to judge a wrestlers work rate to be honest

I think AJ and Paige are much better actual workers in comparison to Lita. When it comes to selling, transitions, execution, timing and bumping etc, I think both are miles ahead of Lita, who was okay at certain aspects but who couldn't throw a punch to save her life and who was quite a sloppy worker at times

Don't remember much of Lita's work tbh, apart from the Moonsaults and Ranas, but agree on this from what I do. Impressed with Paige, and really like her finisher... much better than the sort of thing I'm used to seeing the women wrestlers pull off...

Badly sexist this, and a gross generisation. Some of them are pretty good, better than I remember seeing for years tbh, though I haven't watched much for a while.

Was that the Legacy match with Bret Hart's daughter? Saw highlights of that and it looked really good.
 
I'm ok with Rusev (and especially lana!) but it has a very limited time where a gimmick like this can go on.

And it will all end with a real
American sorting it. And I don't mean Swagger.

How is it sexist? They aren't entertaining to watch whether they are male or female. They aren't the same as male matches on a whole and the wwe deliberately set them up as being eye candy for the fans apart from the odd talented one in there.

I ask again, where are the ugly but talented female wrestlers?

You mean John cena of course. After no selling rusevs offense for 5 mins then hitting a sloppy AA or STF for the win.
