Why am I booing Becky again?
I just need to be set straight. Can someone give me the reason so I can get behind this?
It dont matter who did what to who at this point. The fact is, we went to war. And now there aint no going back. It's what war is you know? Once you're in it, you're in it. If it's a lie, then we fight on that lie, but we gotta fight! |

What Road Dogg will tell you: She's a sore loser. Charlotte won fair and square and overcame the mountain first. Becky is ethically bankrupt because she gets frustrated by her failures instead of passively accepting them with grace and honor.
What Road Dogg won't point out: The subtext of this is the implied redundancy of those characters and their struggles. That when a protagonist has a goal and someone gets in the way, they are actually an antagonist, because they are an obstacle for that protagonist to overcome. Life may not be fair, but when it is made unfair by a hegemonic system that favors privileged agents, people generally like someone trying to buck it. Three-way matches are also an overused gimmick that remove a lot of the fight psychology that wrestling is based around in order to replace it with statistical chance game theory drama, as an over-complicated version of Russian Roulette. Charlotte didn't beat Carmella; she beat Carmella and Becky with an unnecessary amount of variables. Charlotte isn't dominant in her victory -- she got to fire the bullet because of chance and fortune. That is why people perceive Becky as being disadvantaged and why it makes sense for her, believing in herself, to believe she can be Charlotte one-on-one -- in a "proper fight." |

Remember when WWE forgot that the point of wrestling matches is to win them, and they thought that Roman coming out and saying "Well, as you can see, I got my ass beat" would somehow make him endearing instead of looking like someone who can't achieve the one thing his gimmick needs to?

She had a shit load of steam built towards winning the title as a face. Probably the most she ever has had. The simple move is the put her over That One Chick. It would have been a culminating moment. Why didnt they do this? This is the whole point? Fuck WWE!

Oh, and you're supposed to boo Becky because she is the heel. WWE stopped giving you reasons for things a long time ago. Why would anyone cheer Roman Reigns? Like, what makes him "good?" I know the line, don't worry. But that is a response to him not working as a babyface.
He came into the company and was a huge prick. He beat up everybody with glee. Then his buddy turns on him and we're supposed to like him...because? I think he saved a legend once. It may have been for his own Machiavellian benefit though. But Roman Reigns doesn't give any advice to kids or help any little old ladies cross the street. Not that people would like him for that, but there is almost literally no reason to actually kayfabe like Roman Reigns, other than WWE has positioned him against heels and Michael Cole seems to love him. His assigned disposition is his morality. So I would suggest that part of the reason you are supposed to boo Becky Lynch is honestly because she's a heel. Grrr. Damn her. Listen to Tom Phillips talk about her "heinous" actions. Grrr. Love Charlotte. Why? Just love Charlotte. |

In WWE, the world is divided into two moral spheres: Superstars who like to have fun and Superstars that don't like to have fun. Becky is done having fun.

Raw's situation is more complicated. See, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose just launched a cowardly attack on Braun Strowman. But they still like to have fun. Braun Strowman also tried to launch a cowardly attack on Roman Reigns, but he also likes to have fun. So it is okay to cheer them both, even if you don't like cowardly actions. Kevin Owens may interject himself in this, and given well-reasoned points and lack of cowardice, which may endear you towards him, it is very important to keep in mind that he does not like to have fun.

Because Road Dogg and WWE thought they came up with a really great idea but instead came up with one of the dumbest storylines of the year. Just another instance of them being tone deaf in overpushing the stars they only care about (ex. Charlotte) instead of pushing the stars that crowds want (ex. Becky).

WWE has made people negative. They suck. It's not people's fault they don't like being served horse-shit as the main course.

Very much so. Charlotte is a natural heel. Not sure what's the point of keeping her face, as if she's facing Ronda, she's definitely not going to be the face.

But it's Charlotte's kitchen and if Roman has his yard and is a face than so is Charlotte.

Why does anybody care? She's awesome as a heel.
So much fucking swagger. Also, super great to have a heel that isn't a prototypical stuck up bitch, or a "crazy" gimmick. |

Fair. But she's still more entertaining now.
If the crowd refuses to boo her, make her an antihero type. |
