On that same note, a quick reminder that Nia Jax is building to a championship run.
Jinder Mahal proves that being a good in ring worker doesn't matter and not metion Baron Corbin and Carmela both have chances to become championship soon. And I don't know why you brought up Njpw.That's not a counter-point any more than if I located the absolute worst worker in NJPW and argued it was bad. Guys like AJ Styles/Kevin Owens/Sami Zayn literally would not have ever worked in the company 10 years ago.

Remember when Goldberg was champ
And Big Cass just main evented Raw.On that same note, a quick reminder that Nia Jax is building to a championship run.
And Carmella was briefcase winner
And Baron Corbin is the MITB briefcase winner.

Yeah but it kills the narrative that work rate is really important when WWE clearly shows that isn't the case.
No it doesn't. WrestleMania isn't literally everything the company does.
Also can you guys stop using the word "narrative" as a weasel word? I swear, y'all love to use the word whenever someone's opinion is making you mad and you want to imply it's an invalid troll opinion.

It's literally the biggest thing they do every year.No it doesn't. WrestleMania isn't literally everything the company does.
Bonus fact: AJ Styles, while he was champion, had no plans for Wrestlemania even at the Rumble
Was, sorryCarmella isn't champ.

She's never held a belt also.Was, sorry
She just has the briefcase.
First SD women's champ.Has Becky Lynch ever held a title?
Smackdown womanHas Becky Lynch ever held a title?
She's never held a belt also.
She just has the briefcase.
My bad. I mentally treat that as a title equivalent

No, it doesn't, actually. The guys they have working in company aren't guys they'd have ever dreamed of hiring 10 years ago.
The fact they still have guys who aren't any good disproves a point I am not actually making - I am not arguing that "workrate is literally the only thing that matters." I am saying is that it matters more than it has ever mattered in the company, which is why they're chain signing everyone out of ROH and random indies and even Japan.

Fair enough. It's gonna result in a title reign anyway, although I like Carmella myself.My bad. I mentally treat that as a title equivalent
Has Naomi?
I dont see anyone in this thread praising Naomi
No, but she was a champ. And won it at ManiaI dont see anyone in this thread praising Naomi
has alexa bliss had a memorable match?
No memorable matches but she had a good match with Bayley and one with Sasha. Her strength is character work.
has anyone had a memorable match with randy orton since 2004?
His feud with Christian was great. All those matches were really good.
has alexa bliss had a memorable match?
Yes, but for the wrong reasons.

A guy who's great on the mic but worthless as a worker is called a manager.
I agree, but that's Enzo. He's actually worthless as a wrestler.
Miz isn't worthless as a worker. He can put on good matches. He's just not a top level worker. And that's fine. Not everyone has to be a super worker to be valuable.
I dont see anyone in this thread praising Naomi
What's there to praise her for? She's pretty bad on the mic and simply passable to okay in the ring.
The most I can do is commend her for getting over in spite of all of that.

I'm not saying they should fire Miz. I'm saying that I think people are way overemphasizing his character work when evaluating him as a whole.
I mean, even Enzo can get himself over with his in-ring by concussing himself and having to be stretchered out =V

I think too much emphasis is placed on "yeah, but wrestling". I think Miz's promos are just as valuable to a good episode of Raw or SD as a good match between say Dean and Cesaro or AJ and Owens.

The match where she first won the belt off of Becky was pretty good, table match at TLC.

Suddenly Zach is Mr.Yakuza expert man?!
The gaming industry has done a pretty good job of desensitizing people to DLC unfortunately. They just keep pushing and pushing. If there's enough blowback, they'll dial back the shitty business decisions for a bit then slowly start creeping them in again until they find out exactly how much bullshit people are willing to swallow. And then you have people on the gaming side defending these companies all the time like it's their job. It's been sad to watch.
