So not only are Becky's actions Justified but she's also a "yeah I said what I said fight me "heel
How does any of this make her the bad guy it makes her that much cooler |

That was pretty bad overall for whatever WWE hoped to accomplish.

If there were plans to put the belt on Becky for a bit, that will probably change. They will actively try and make her look as dumb, foolish, incompetent and ineffective as possible to try and shake the fans out of liking her. They will not make her a babyface even though she is to their paying audience. She will start losing all her matches and the announcers will say "See! Becky's not that good! See!"

Jesus WWE is so stubborn or ignorant.
Charlotte is not getting cheered over Becky. |

It breaks my heart, because Charlotte could be a legitimate star and they're leaving so much money on the table by making her toxic.

Not enough people say it, but Kevin Dunn has the be the biggest asshole in the company. I honestly can't remember anybody saying they like him personally.

This is small-scale in comparison, but this reminds me of the Goldberg heel turn. "You people stopped cheering for me!" *Crowd chants Goldberg*
We're all down on the product because it sucks, but I don't think it is stressed enough just how fucking weird and dumb it is. Like, if WWE goes out of business, shit like this is stupid enough to warrant talking heads from another company doing a documentary making fun of it. "They actually thought Becky Lynch would get booed against Charlotte." |

Even Paul Bearer hated his guts which is shocking since Bearer had the rep of being one of the nicest people to hang around with back in the day.

They literally only have a few people that give a fuck about the product, and they are so hell-bent on taking the few people that those few people care about, and doing their absolute best, actively, to make them not care.

Kevin Dunn needs to go. Give him his $10 million severance package or whatever and put someone better in position.

WWE doesn't just ignore it, they try to change it by editing cheers out, burying talent that get over when it wasn't the plan, and almost always refuse to go with the flow. Why they would rather go against the grain then just pushing the people that are over the most is insane. Based on crowd reaction, Becky should have won. Instead, let's have her lose and turn her heel, cause that makes sense. |

Anyone else in any other industry will hear a reaction like that and think "They're telling you something," whereas this carny show is like "No, dammit -- you will pay for what I tell you to pay for." It's so fucking weird. |

Let's just all stops to appreciate the fact that not only does Nakamura get what it means to be a heel he gets what it means to be the US champion as a heel

And WWE prefers to go to Hartford instead of Bridgepit these days when they come through Connecticut.

Like...it stops WWE from being legit in my mind. As long as that Vince McMahon mentality is there, WWE is never going to be truly accepted into the mainstream. It's just way too carny and off-putting to general audiences. They will flop on FOX if Vince is there, because it is really fucking bad television and it deserves to be mocked like they so gleefully do with WCW.

I'm fine with becky losing but you can tell the crowd is white hot for her and this is what you do, needless heel turn.

You can only be so good when you try to piss on the tastes of your paying customer. It's just that simple. Inside the wrestling bubble, we are used to it, but from outside it just looks like masochism.

If you don't watch for a while, it's jarring to listen to how every announcer talks with the voice of Vince McMahon. Even the ones you think of as good. Renee Young and Corey Graves are not immune from this. You will hear the buzzwords that you can tell Vince has ordered them to hammer.
