Cuz he had no knees and a broken neck at the height of his popularity.
Then he shouldn't have been the top guy.
This is a good example of why you can't do the same thing with different people and expect the same results.
- Asuka has been speaking in different gibberish for over a decade in WWE and it's worked for her. She's over the top with her presentation and acting in a good way that people can buy into her being the crazy foreign lady. Wrestling is of course a visual medium, so if you can't speak the language then express yourself like you're performing in a cheap stage play so everyone knows what emotion you're conveying. Asuka gets that.
- As for Vaquer, I don't understand what they're going for with her. I like Vaquer, but she came across like a bitch during that interview where she insults Liv who is sitting there taking it then actually cries as she's consoled by Dom. Sure, Liv is probably doing that for sympathy but she's the heel, so what the fuck? It's not like the language barrier between Spanish and English is all that huge. Vaquer needs to speak some English, or for her pre-taped segments they need to put in the subtitles, because based on what she actually said to Liv it didn't warrant the crying. Their feud looks like it's going nowhere, but still two months to go so maybe they can turn things around.
It's just dumb because Asuka can speak a little bit of broken English and be funny and when they want her to be funny they have her go out and speak Japanese and act spastic and it works.
When they want her to be serious or threatening they do a pre tape and use subtitles and she comes off looking like a badass. She's versatile and they either play into her language being a strength or a weakness when they need her to.
Vaquer speaks way better English than any of the Japanese girls do, and there was no excuse for not putting subtitles on that pre tape, other than just to be annoying and make Vaquer look like a twat.
Because that seriously what it looked like. It looked like a girl was doing an interview, and the champion barged in to interrupt and bully her in a language that she didn't understand. Her boyfriend had to translate it and the shit she was saying was apparently so mean that it made Liv cry.
I don't know how many wetbacks watch wrestling that understood that, but every English speaking white person has heat on Vaquer now.
If you were a casual fan and you tuned in after Liv returned from her shoulder surgery, you would watch that segment and think that Liv came back as a face and this cunt who got the title way too fast who doesn't even respect this country enough to speak the language is the bad guy.
I realize that I have a bias because I can't stand Vaquer, I think she's overrated, she's cringe and she's a sloppy wrestler. What else could they have been going for other than making her look like a cunt who bullied Liv to the point of tears?
That's just shit booking.
