Look I admit I didn't watch WWE during 2014-2023, what exactly made Charlotte a draw/star, outside of being Ric Flair's whatever?
I think she was teamed up with Dana Brooke and that's all my memories of her.

WWE fucking loves multi-generational wrestlers to the point where they will push them even if it tanks the ratings.

I've always been of the mind that variety is good and feel that was part of why the mid 00s of WWE was so fucking boring, as it was really the generic CAW era.

I kinda get your perspective: DIY have always been meh to me. Ciampa looks like the Yellow Bastard from Sin City and I can't take him seriously as a result. I don't like Punk but I get his appeal.

Like, if we're going just off of 'look', if Jake Roberts or Dusty Rhodes can 'make it' in pro wrestling I don't see why Punk or Owens can't.

Jake Roberts could cut a unique promo. Dusty Rhodes had more charisma in his pinky finger than 95 percent of the vanilla midgets on this current roster.

I just randomly put on a mid 90s episode of Raw (1994 to be exact) and everything had fucking soul. You had larger than life athletes and some hilarious commentating from Monsoon and McMahon. This current product is just indieriffic trash. Either the guys are sloppy or way too old. Hearing Cole sells this as the greatest Royal Rumble was laughable, especially when you compare it to some of the ones that happened in the late 80s or early 90s.

She's a Flair and her only real competition for a while was Becky, Bayley and Banks. Not exactly stiff company.

She traded the Woman's title with Mercedes/Sasha a bunch of times:

After winning it on Wrestlemania 32 on April 3rd, Charlotte lost it to Sasha on July 25, won it back on Summerslam (August 21), lost it again October 3rd, won it again on Hell in a Cell (Oct. 30) lost it again Nov. 28, won it again Dec. 18, then finally the hot potato game ended thanks to Bayley who won in on Feb. 13.

Of course, you can't keep a good nepobaby down, so seeing that people on Smackdown weren't having her forced down their throats, she made the jump and by November 14, 2017, she took the then Smackdown title off Natalya and promptly began another elaborate game of hot potato where she had to share it with more girls and couldn't quite strangle the division as badly as she did on Raw.

This time it went:
Carmella > Charlotte > Becky > Asuka > Charlotte > Becky > Charlotte > Bayley > Charlotte > Bayley > Sasha > Bianca > Becky > Charlotte >Rhonda > Liv > Rhonda > Charlotte

And finally, Rhea beat her on Wrestlemania 39 and made her fuck off for a bit.
 
Punk probably getting a spot in the elimination chamber, I say its either Cena,Punk,or a Triple Threat in the main event of Night 2, im 99% sure Jey is going for Gunther now, they are probably trying to potray the WHC as an equal to the WWE title by having the rumble winner choose the WHC.

Vince booked the womens division like absolute shit, HHH isn't ideal either (SmackDowns womens division is the worst thing going in WWE right now) but at least they finally found their top star in Rhea, if they go for Rhea-Charles 3 im praying Rhea retains

That's why I said if we're going strictly off of look. I'd argue both Punk and Owens can talk (although Punk is very 1 dimensional.)

There's a lot of shit back then, too. I'm not disagreeing that current WWE product is way too polished/soulless, cos yeah, a lot of it is. I'd just rather have them trying different shit rather than doing a one size fits all approach. I'm not yearning for the days of Mantaur or Men on a Mission.

On a side note, how much has it got to suck being Jimmy Uso?
If the story being told is "See, I'm not a loser like my palate swap brother." ?
Oh well, at least he still gets to go home and fuck Naomi every night I guess.

Eh he was always the Matt Hardy of the two. He’s having some good matches with Melo and the “Big Jim” thing is pretty entertaining.

Could be a lot worse.

Don't worry, he'll get his day in the sun as well because he's related to the Rock/Roman.

The WWE main event scene is going to be a conveyor belt of these dimeless shitter Samoans for a good few years yet.

You literally admit to never watching the product except two PPV’s a year. Nobody cares what you have to say retard.


Here’s a list of much worse Royal Rumble winners than Jey Uso winning in 2025:

Brock Lesnar & Rhonda Rousey in 2022.
HHH in 2016.
Roman Reigns in 2015.
Batista in 2014.
Cena in 2013.
Alberto Del Rio in 2011.
Vince in 1999.


Need I go on?
 
There have been rumors that Community Creations in WWE 2K25 will no longer be cross-generation, meaning that PS5/Xbox Series S/X will be separate from PC/PS4/Xbox One.

This was presumably done because of The Island being on Gen 9 consoles-only, because they don't want PC modders to unlock the microtransaction content from The Island.

Jey probably got the Push due to being less injury prone, but they are starting to do some shit with him on SmackDown like those matches with Carmelo, but may god save us if Jey wins and Jimmy challenges him at Summerslam or whatever, unless they get a NoDQ stip or whatever to cover for them.
