Obviously not as nuanced/charismatic as Piper, but in the MMA world if you add some theatrics to arm barring the shit out of people, it tends to draw.

IMO what also helped her draw is she had a distinct "finishing move"--in MMA it's almost impossible to have a lights out move, just by its nature. But her Armbar was the most feared move in the world at one point.
also she has judo june as her trainer he had La wrestling that piper wrestled for. I wonder how the wwe will use her piper thing, if we are stuck with a wrestlemania tag match with ronda steph and trips, I would like randy to tag with ronda. that would be an ode to piper cowboy bob.
