Absurd. Believable facial expressions are a sign of an actual ability to act, and alexa has her reactions down better than almost anybody on the roster. The diversity she gives alone stands out when compared to the general aggressive mean mugging of a heel and the smiling politely of a baby face

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
She's not a great wrestler and her smarmy character is totally stock. Arguing she's better in any way than Bayley, Sasha or Becky is just absurd. I'd say she's the Dolph Ziggler of the women's division because she basically does one thing, and does it mediocre, except Ziggler is at least a competent worker.

They both can be bad.
What does the rest of the division have to do with her being bad on the mic? If she's not good, then she's not good.

Yea you'll find a lot of people like that. They'll rant or rave over how amazing or awful someone is when they're neither. I think people around here more so like to pick apart shit and judge things like their judging a dog show or some amazing masterpiece that should be perfect. People aren't always gonna be the greatest or the worst. This isn't some high art that has to be perfect.

You just wait til Hunter groups up his underdeveloped talent to form the greatest stable in WWE history.
This makes zero sense because the facial expressions she makes are actual part of what makes her a great personality on the mic, regardless of hotness. But yeah, be the first to sexualise her then point fingers at the rest of Gaf.

Who cares, she sucks. Back to Smackdown.

Sasha and Bayley have been unwatchable at times on the main roster. Alexa's in an easier role, but she's running with the ball which is all you can ask.
No, they couldn't be that stupid.
4 unread pages to read? Oh, Smackdown must be on.

That was lackluster as fuck.
Becky is one of the best on the mic in the division. She and Alexa are both very good.

So Alexa wins again. Becky gets no respect. She deserves another run damn it.

No one has really called her a great wrestler. She's a great character though

Ehhh this was why I didn't like this. It should've been Alexa vs Mickie vs Becky. This just makes Becky look like an even bigger goof.
If you think Alexa is an example of bad on the mic, then I'd be curious to hear who you think is good.
As for people just saying this because she's hot - I'm not gonna act offended at that suggestion, cos she is, but uh, pretty much every woman in WWE is extremely hot. The most you can really say is 'oh you're only saying she's good because you like things about her!'.
I don't even like her that much, I was very happy with Naomi as champion, and I'm sad she's had to vacate. Alexa's just obviously a natural on the mic and probably has some great promos in her future.

Should have given Mickie the belt. Becky vs Mickie is the money feud for Wrestlemania.

Except that has nothing to do with the point, which is that she's playing a completely stock bitchy character and making a bitchy face isn't some sign of great talent. It's literally making one face that probably took 5 minutes of practice in a mirror to do. Gimme a break.
Except she's just playing the same character everyone else has played in the last 10 years. Having a mean face isn't the same thing as doing it better than Nikki, or AJ Lee or anyone else.

Lol at getting back from commercial and the match ending like 30 seconds later. SD is losing steam constantly.

She's good
But still a bit green and that's okay!
It contains Trips involvement so it'll just be like "look at HHH leeching off top talent to make himself the best guy ever argle bargle!"

As much as I love Alexa, Daniel should've gave her the title if it meant the outcome that just happened.
The only thing I'll say about Bayley is that I think her character is meant to be awkward on the mic. Now you may think her mic skills arent just a kayfabe facade, but I don't think Bayley necessarily needs the mic to get over.

That I'll agree with... but I do like variations in finishes and that caught me off guard.

No. Smackdown>>>>>>>>>>>Raw by a huge margin.
It was not legit but a heel finish win.
Like them all getting promos for the main event.

Miz is great.
Never said Alexa was amazing, I certainly am attracted to her but I've been attracted to most women in WWE from Diva division on so I don't know how that has anything to do with anything.
Alexa works really well as a heel. I don't see how that's offensive to point out just because you guys like to shit on everything. WWE is still shitty in many areas, but Smackdown has been it's brightest points with Alexa being the best part of it's women division IMO.

Bayley is legitimately bad on the mic but she has the benefit that her character is an awkward person so it's not so bad as it would be for others.

Bayley has a character that makes you care about how she does even if she's awkward as hell.
Alexa's just the bitchy girl character that exists on every WWE roster from any point in the last 10 years.
She's playing the same character Maryse does now except Maryse is better than her.
