PS - what a shock that Noid is disrupting a thread by turning it into another internet fan boy bitch fest of Roman Reigns.

For anyone arguing that the crowd was more invested in Trish and Lita's characters, the crowd was more invested into EVERYTHING back then. I feel WWE is in a rebuilding phase right now where the crowd has been made used to being disappointed, but there's some REALLY good stuff going on right now, especially between the ropes. Not to beat the PG horse either, but the Trish/Lita crowds were older/livelier than the kid-based crowds of today. It's not a fair comparison, and if you're looking at the bell-to-bell work in those matches, Charlotte and Sasha leave Trish and Lita in the dust by a substantial margin.
We can all be entertained if we allow ourselves to be. |

I mean, what made Trish or Lita seem any less like actors?
Sasha...now she comes off as an actor for sure. Charlotte is some next level type shit in my book. |

The Undertaker seems like an actor, if you ask me.

She's gotten significantly better over the past few months and become a pretty great promo most of the time, and her in-ring work is really good most of the time--except when she's dropping people on their head. I think a lot of people's opinions are still colored by that first nine months. But I also think that's true of Sasha. Her promos haven't been great, and her in-ring work has been "scary" some of the time, but people remember her NXT work. I think she's still trying to find her footing as the #1 face of the division on the main roster. Her heel ringwork in NXT was phenomenal, but having to be the babyface has left her a bit lost, which leads to doing dangerous shit to pop the crowd. |

Pretty offended that you're trying to discredit the biggest US female draw of all time at her peak

How would one even really gauge that? They don't ask you who you're there to see when you purchase tickets.

Justin Bieber is a draw. That doesn't make him great. I don't happen to agree with a lot of wrestling fans, because they wear jean shorts on purpose.

It does though. He is a great pop artist. Possibly the greatest of his generation. Me disliking him cant change that.

No, of course, but as I've said to you in the past, there is a market for people shitting on each other in pornography. It doesn't make it wrong or right to like it -- people do have subjective tastes, but if you are being objective then you have to rely on certain metrics in order to measure the success of something.
I think where we deviate is that you give very little weight to the objective realm. If you like something, that is all that matters to you. And that is fine. But it's quite individualistic and completely useless as any sort of gauge as to whether or not something has widespread appeal. I'd actually reverse the sentiments in your post. It may have been more fitting for you to say "People. Not this person." |

Why should I, as a fan, give any weight to the objective realm? I can't see much of a reason to care about anything but what I like. I understand the business side of it, but it's not any of my...*ahem* business.
