Becky's mic work is bad.

For how much better she is than Bliss in the ring, Bliss is that much better than Becky on the mic/character work.

How dare you! Becky is rough! She's also tough! AND she's had enough!

What, you don't like Lady Punny O'Referency, shining jewel of the emerald isle?

 

[Heroman]

Becky is the best woman on the roster because she comes off as a real person unlike everyone else.

What? Becky is like one of the few people WWE have that come off like a genuine babyface and can deliver the promos to back that up.

Top 3 women on the mic right now

1. Charlotte
2. Alexa Bliss

Still better than Bayley on the mic.

I feel the Becky situation is a little like how people would scream about how terrible Paige was just because she had an unusual accent. Bliss has been really good on a few episodes of Talking Smack but a lot of her promos on the main show have been awful.

She's cornier than Reigns. She'd have been corny in the 80s.

I love her in ring work but she's a fucking cartoon character lol

Disagree.

She carried the contract signing segment for example. She was gold this week too.

Accent is the least of Becky's problems

 

[Angry Grimace]

Honestly, I think Alexa's ability to make that one mean-face is really overrated. I don't get how that's top-tier character work. It's just making a mean-face.

The elephant in the room here is that I can't tell when people are being serious and when people are marking out for performers they're attracted to because we went through that with Eva Marie.

I'm 100% serious. Bliss is great.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Hey Nocturnowl! Maybe next week, YOU won't be around!

The more I think about it, the more I realise that little exchange is an all time WWE classic for me.

When it's Eva Marie, it's disingenuous.

When it's anyone else, I just assume the poster is being forthright. It's just easier.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I'm 100% serious. Bliss is great.

I mean, she's better than most of the women, but I think she's overrated.

Even aside from that, there's also the problem that I think you're giving Becky basically no credit for building up a babyface character that's popular with crowds for the heels to play off of because that part is what makes wrestling storylines work. Becky's role on television is significantly harder than Alexa's role.

 

[Nekofrog]

Becky is the best woman on the roster because she comes off as a real person unlike everyone else.

She comes off as a poser that's trying way too hard to fit in with her cooler friends (who all have realized this and turned on her, rightfully so)

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

I joke about Eva but I am genuine when I say that her gimmick before she got popped was one of the best things happening then in the brand split. It was hilarious.

Also Becky is corny but from looking at her in real life it's obvious she's actually like that unlike WWE writing characters for people who should not have those type of characters. Plus she is a genuinely over sympathetic babyface in 2016 WWE where heels tend to get bigger pops then the babyfaces. That type of thing doesn't happen unless you can talk on the mic and make it work enough to have the audience on your side.

 

[Professor Beef]

She's cornier than Reigns. She'd have been corny in the 80s.

YOU'RE cornier than Reigns!

 

[Ithil]

Hey Nocturnowl! Maybe next week, YOU won't be around!

Now neither of them are around.

Nekofrog has it right, friends.

In modern WWE questionable. Basically three people draw actual heel heat in the company

 

[Nocturnowl]

Now neither of them are around.

Barrett will return to claim what is rightfully his!

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

And Alexa would very likely be getting no heat at all if she was feuding with anyone but Becky. I like Alexa and think she's doing very good in this feud but it's not just 100% her putting all the work in.

 

[Arrowgigantic]

r u ok, menomay?

I had to shoot

 

[BlazinSkatinAxel]

I saw the video of Shad stopping crimes.. Any way Cryme Tyme returns to WWE?

 

[Heroman]

If Bliss and Carmella had a feud how much heat would they not get?

 

[excelsiorlef]

And Alexa would very likely be getting no heat at all if she was feuding with anyone but Becky. I like Alexa and think she's doing very good in this feud but it's not just 100% her putting all the work in.

Never said it was.

Becky is the vastly superior ring worker.

 

[Rhaknar]

And 2 of them are faces :3

 

[Nekofrog]

The only thing that actively pisses me off more than cesaros "opponents stand against turn buckles while I take 8 seconds to run around and uppercut each one" spot is Becky's straight fiya spot that ends in a lame looking jumping elbow. And I can literally give almost anything in wrestling a pass

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Never said it was.

Becky is the vastly superior ring worker.

But you're saying Becky is bad on the mic when her mic work against Alexa's is a major reason why people like this feud so much because it's two people who can work with each other on the mic without it coming off like one is doing much worse then the other.

Edit: I don't mean this in a bad way and I hope I don't come off as aggressive. Here's a photo of happier Becky and Alexa times to make up for it.

 

[Into the Light]

Godley.

 

[Pikma]

*shakes hand*

Also rip pikma

You're the one who should rip, I've buried you a lot of times already

For some reason my twitter feed compelled me to make this rather poor GIF.

Well I meant amongst the actual heels.

 

[ramoisdead]

Broken Fake News...

Now there's someone who keeps with what is currently going on. I hope MeekMahn is paying attention...but probly not.

 

[SallyIsNow]

Hype for Impact. Hopefully I still feel good around then.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Since Zack is already getting surgery, I guess that means he's looking to be out for a few months? Poor guy.

I guess Emmalina will still be waiting to debut by the time he's back.

Nah, we'll see her at Roadblock

I think Alexa carries the mic work. Then Becky gets the violence in. Because that's the story. Bliss is someone you want to beat the shit out of.

Then Becky takes over in the ring.

 

[somedevil]

Rock Star Spud is threatening to beat up a 1 year old but in a end will put over Maxel.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Nah, we'll see her at Roadblock

Don't give me false hope of her doing a run-in to beat down the winner and then give a CM Punk-like work shoot promo of how she's sick of the horsewomen getting all the chances.

In reality the only run-in will be Nia Jax since they teased her and Sasha feuding.

 

[Ultratech]

"That kid's barely a year old and he's more over than I am!"

 

[ramoisdead]

I think we're witnessing the best wrestling entrance ever to be filmed.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

MAXEL WENT OVER

WE DID IT

Did we just see Disco Inferno?!

 

[Ultratech]

Hahaha

That was pretty good.

 

[ramoisdead]

Yup. Guessing he was the previously chosen first opponent for King Maxel?

 

[somedevil]

Did we just see Disco Inferno?!

Yeah, I wonder if that a joke on him being fired not putting over Jacqueline or when he lost to bananas in pajamas
