Farewell to Asuka's Career

**Mr. Nerfect** · 08-27-2018, 03:29 AM

I think it really boils back to WWE being bad. In a good WWE, this would be frustrating, but you also wouldn't have yourself booked into corners with the likes of Carmella and Peyton Royce running around trying to be competitive with your "legit" women.

When Asuka won a Royal Rumble that came down to her and The Bellas, what did you really think would happen? Like, whether she won or lost, you knew that Carmella still had the briefcase and would need to get a run with the blue belt sometime before June, so Asuka was going to have it two months, tops. Like, I get that them being shitty and having all these awful gimmicks and protocols in place doesn't justify bad television, but I don't get how people were optimistic about it. What logically made you think that Asuka beating up Emma and Alexa Bliss was going to feel like really credible pro-wrestling?
