Trish and Mickie both did it and Trish was passable enough in the ring to retain her heat once the bell rang. Mickie got over in backstage segments and was able to carry that over into the ring as well.

The most popular female performers in 2019, most of them can work. People are expecting to see the bar raised from previous eras. Barclays was a big deal, it was sold out first big NXT show of that size and Sasha/Bayley had a big match that was highly praised, got over and retained it's heat through it's duration. That in part led to situations where Sasha vs. Charlotte could main event a RAW and hold on to 3+ million viewers. That is huge for the 3rd hour. Women didn't start getting main events because they thought it could be viable, they still had to prove that women's wrestling could be viable and they did.

So with Alexa, I can't remember a promo that stuck or led to a match that people were interested in and I can't remember an in-ring performance that showed people will care enough to tune in to see her.

None of what you posted is recent. All these chicks who can "work," which none of them are consistently good workers, do not draw an audience. No one is invested in their programs. So what value do their skill and ability bring? Ratings are down. Attendance is down.

Whether they can talk or not, whether they can work or not doesn't matter in 2019. It's all personal preference. But when you try to project your preference onto a larger audience it becomes a problem in these debates. From where I sit no one cares if a chick is a midget blonde who can talk or if they are a cute but sloppy worker. If Alexa or Sasha were released it would have NO effect on the company whatsoever. They are of equal value; little to none.

You spend time arguing performers are valuable, "look at the heat!" and now you are saying that nobody is valuable.. which if that is your new position then at least that is a position that could be argued because ratings are terrible and attendance is terrible and whoever is there or being pushed is obviously not helping it, to me it's more of a creative issue but that's me.

Breh, what are you talking about? The only person I say has heat is Baron Corbin, true heel heat that is. You were the one who brought ratings, attendance and all that other shyt into the conversation, which was dumb, because Alexa, Sasha, Becky, et. al do nothing for any of those things. We were discussing mic skills. Alexa has them. Sasha doesn't. It doesn't matter if you think she can only cut two promos, that's two more promos than Sasha can do. Or Bayley, or Sarah Logan or those atrocious Iconics. And if you really want to be honest, nearly everyone in the WWE cuts the same damn promo. It's by design, so why single out Alexa? Because she does it without sounding like she has a mouth full of testicles?

Sasha did push up ratings when she was the champion and closing out ppvs. Why front? You talking about fukking Corbin being anywhere near the same level as Sasha borders on preposterous.

Sasha sold out Barclays Center and Boston Garden. That supersedes anything you typed there

Iiconics are way more natural and charismatic on the mic than Alexa.

I don’t even agree that she’s a good talker.

Being a confident speaker in front of the crowd is one thing (and she is entirely), but there has never been anything captivating about her as a speaker. She’s ONLY good at two tropes: being “the heel” and being “the fake face for a few seconds only to say something heelish at the end”

She can’t command sympathy, She doesn’t know how to put over a beating, she doesn’t even do “scared as a heel” believable when she’s fighting someone like Ronda or Nia.

It seems like because she can either make a script sound not like a script (or go off a loose script) that people give her a nod in the talking department. But she’s honestly not even that great or deep as a speaker.


Did you see that Nikki Cross segment last week :picard:

Damn when you break it down like that, she aint shyt:picard::mjlol:

You’re right, and I can’t name one face that got more popular after feuding with Alexa. There’s many that got less popular though
