Yeah, this is definitely the answer.
Charlotte still only has like 4-5 years in the business. She was very good pretty quickly.

I really need to give it another listen. I didn't like anything other than Hard Times first listen (and I had problems with that too), and wrote it off as a disappointment. But I think that's the old Paramore fan in me, I've since come round on a couple of songs I heard in the wild, Tell Me How in particular.
Well, you clearly aren't a devote BOLIEVER like myself
tbh I've played a bunch of those games and I still think Mania is my GOTY right now
I'm 60 hours into P5 and it's very good but godddd the pacing is fucked which is why I've been so slow in playing it
BoTW is unquestionably excellent, I'm just not huge on open world games. I still really liked it, and it's probably in my top 3 for the year, but I don't think it's my favorite game ever like others feel
Nier is an amazing story saddled with shallow combat that loses its luster 8 hours in
PUBG is a great game that leads to some incredible moments but it still has a shitload of jank I'm waiting for them to iron out
Only played an hour of Prey and still haven't played Y0 or Hollow Knight yet. Too many fucking games this year
That isn't to say Sonic Mania is perfect but its the sequel to 3&K I've wanted for years and I'm willing to look past its flaws because it does so much right

I'd put Bayley and Alexa Bliss even Becky over Charolette
It was not a dream

As should be obvious, Persona 5 is my GOTY so far. Probably also my favorite game ever. Don't think anything will top it. Also on the list is PUBG. And BOTW.
Charlotte is too much of a total package for me. She's really great in the ring, she can cut a good promo, and she has her character and personality nailed. Plus she's even managed to overcome WWE booking.
Of the home grown womens wrestlers in recent history my hierarchy would go Charlotte > Sasha > Bayley > Becky = Bliss > a broom and dust pan > Jax

The last time I bitch about this one specific thing in the NXT womens division based on spoilers.
I really wish NXT stopped breaking keyfabe with this shit. Asuka cheated twice to beat Ember and put her out of commission for months. Ember should have offered a handshake, nailed her, then announce that the mouthbreathers were idiots for cheering a cheat and the only reason Asuka's leaving is because she's too afraid to ever give her a fair match.
Instead the booking's the same boring "All hail our Japanese Goddess!" that it's been since Asuka debuted and it does nothing but make Ember look like a coward. They've been struggling to get Ember over as face, this was the perfect spot to turn here and the audience would have ate up face Niki vs heel Ember.

Chalotte's always been bad on the mic in my opinion, she only got away with it because she was heel and was given way more mic time than other (just like another female on the roster...). Now she's face and she's doing the exact same thing and it doesn't work for me.

I can back this
I'd put Rock over Cena just because Rock managed to maintain all that hype and momentum despite being surrounded by so many other huge mega stars in the 00s

Charlotte's look is fantastic imho
This is definitely a good reason to say Rock is #1.

Charlotte went from my least favorite to my favorite so fast because of just how much better she is over everyone else. Only person who comes close as a total package, for the main roster, is Becky but now that will be
Asuka

Out of the robe she's a weird combonation of lanky, skinny, and muscley
Yeah Charlotte is way better as a heel.
Plus, unlike the rest of the NXT womens call-ups, Charlotte actually continued improving on main roster television while everyone else either stayed on par or regressed. Leaving NXT, I thought Charlotte was the weakest of the Four Horsewomen, now I think she's the best of them.

Peacock is always a good flamboyant look.
It definitely has a lot of Souls style to it, but really the main draw to me was filling that Vania void.
Sonic 06 stars?

I think her look works. She towers over most of the division and she still does some of the most athletic spots on the show. It makes her look really impressive.

Are you just talking about the Horsewomen, because Alexa has definitely improved.
Sasha has 2 years of indy wrestling under her belt pre-NXT but honestly her pre-NXT career was completely forgettable.
Yeah, mostly talking about the Horsewomen. Alexa stagnated for a while in NXT but in the tail end of her run down there she got a lot better fast and it carried over to the main roster. I still don't think she's anything remarkable in the ring but she's got character work to balance that out.

Charlotte didn't have any wrestling experience prior to NXT?
zero, she's as home grown as you can be

Yep
Charlotte is one of my faves in WWE and since she moved to Smackdown I haven't cared enough to tune in for her. Same as Owens (and AJ since he turned)
Doesn't help when she really doesn't even have a big focus but her heel run on Raw was awesome.

yeah. i'll wait. sounds like a great concept and one i should give a chance tho
On topic of GOTY: i wouldnt even know how to order spots 2 through 10 as its been one hell of a year thus far with more to come. Of the shit ton of games ive played, only cave story , FFXII and horizon did nothing for me personally.

I don't think she chose to become a face, just the crowd decided to love her. I still think she is being the same person on the mic.
My issue with Sasha is she cannot decide who she wants to be. Her promos flip flop between THE BOSS and 'wrasslin fan turned champ'. She's also not nearly as competent in the ring as Charolette.
For me it'd go Charolette, Becky, Sasha, Alexa based on current talent. Asuka is definitely #1 overall

It's easier to play a heel than it is to play a face. Especially when you're the one who always wins and are given all the time in the world to talk to your opponents who can't say anything back to you.
If you compare the ring work of heel Sasha, Bliss, and Charlotte, Sash was clearly the best.

It's Rock. He's a legitimate megastar and helped keep the momentum going during the hottest period in wrestling history. No one else could have been 1b to Austin's 1a like Rock was.
he's also better in ring than cena. especially from a storytelling/psychology perspective, let alone stuff like selling, facials, etc. promos it's not even close.

I honestly never thought Rock was that good in the ring, to be honest. He also gets negative points for having the worst Sharpshooter in history

Man, the thing about The Rock is I have a lot of memories of his moments in promos and segments but I can't fucking draw up any memory of any of his in-ring performances. Like I know what programs he had but his matches just dont sit in my memory bank.
Sasha as a face >>>> Charlotte as a face.
But ayup, even as a face she's very heelish.

96 WCW is way worse than 96 WWF.
Hogan in the main event against Giant over Macho/Flair is laughable

Pretty much. Steph telling Bayley she didn't deserve her title was the moment her character was fucked, nothing she said could have worked because it was true and if she gave up the title the crowd would have turned on her then. It was the most Cena thing imaginable.
Her Alexa feud was that on a weekly basis. Like, she could have just come out and finally snapped at Alexa during the this is your life segment , saying Alexa was pathetic for hiring actors and making everything up. Instead we get a meta-joke next week about the quality of the segment and that's it because it was all true.
