Mark exposes her for not understanding her own character. You look back and for example Stone Cold, he would play baddest man on the planet but in the program he would either lose or get screwed over to sell the actual heel. The get back would then be him talking it and backing it up in the ring in the second half of the program.

That’s the huge difference with these guys they can sell programs, just themselves. They’re not willing to look bad so they can look better at the end of the push like the greats. It’s a total lack of psychology.
Austin didn't have to put over Lacey Evans and shyt though :mjlol:

They had her lose to Asuka then other than fueding with Charlotte and Ronda she pretty much let Nattie score one at her on Monday.

WWE obviously could not sustain Becky's character, that was clear from the day it started. It's legit a miracle they were able to keep interest up in Becky/Ronda from Survivor Series to WM, and I think 90% of it was due to social media shenanigans because on screen they came about as close as possible to ruining the whole thing. Becky's whole character and motivation stops working once she achieved all the things that motivated her. All the things she had to talk about before are gone: She's on all the posters, she had all the titles, she main evented WM, she's the focus of TV even to the point of making her boyfriend (who was also champion) play second fiddle and look like a nerd. She has nothing left to complain about WWE holding her back, and that was the main aspect of her character that caught on in the first place. In fact it's just the opposite: Now they're over pushing her.

This is a problem every single time a character is centered around the company not pushing them enough. The only time it worked and was sustainable was with Austin, and in that case it was a once in a life time break out star and they also booked him usually in ONE segment per Raw, and he wasn't wrestling on TV weekly. For most of 1998-1999, he would wrestle on Raw every other week if not every 2-3 weeks. He didn't become a weekly performer until after he came back from the second neck surgery in 2000. Even then, he rarely would wrestle on Raw and Smackdown on the same week. He also didn't have to keep talking about it or tell you he was the best, because he beat the shyt out of anyone in his way instead. His character motivation changed after he reached the top, Becky's has not and will not. She's just going to be told to go out there and say "Oi, I'm The Man can ya believe it, blokes" until no one gives a shyt and it's been run into the ground. Which is already dangerously close to happening already.

It's not really her fault, WWE was always going to run it into the ground and ruin it, but it also happens in MMA/Boxing as well.

They want her to be weak but she's doing fine being who she is. Henry likes underdog Becky but her heeling is what led to a explosion from the crowd last year at Summerslam.

No one ASKED for this Seth add on stuff though...that's the issue. Her promos are money and he dont spend off her right.

From what I gathered it looks like Becky turned into a mini-Rock. Her next feud is with Nattie and she just came off a program with green ass Lacy Evans for several months.

She has a right to be cocky since those 2 opponents are nothing. Lacey Evans shouldn’t have even been in a program for that long; she should have been down in NXT learning a thing or 2. Nattie is basically a title match jobber.

But let TSC tell you that Becky should treat these 2 like serious threats like Undertaker (feud with Austin) or HHH (feud with Rock). :dead:
No one wants some gay ass Charlotte return feud..which lixlckiky they hot her feuding with face Liv...that's good. But Lacey isnt it and I guess Natayla finally turns heel now that time has passed after her father died. She needs Sasha...that was how Rebecca Knox got over anyway in 2015 after their near 5 star match where debuted that theme music.

She started the smug Cena-esque face thing during the three way feud with Flair and Rousey, two very serious opponents so I don't know what Lacey Evans or Nattie has to do with this.

I said it 1000 times, "The Man" is a heel character. The WWE doesn't know how to book a face, let alone an edgy one. So she's out here playing a heel character as a face without the self awareness Cena eventually developed. If she ever feuds with a popular wrestler (a returning Sasha Banks or the revitalized Bayley) there's a chance the crowd will turn on her.

To me, it just seems like her character doesn't have a lot of direction right now. She's a cross between her original face character and a lighter version of the heel character she started playing last summer.

I had a feeling they would take the edge off of her at some point. Right now, she's only "The Man" because that's what it says on her shirt and she likes talking about slapping the heads off dopes. As a character, she peaked around the Royal Rumble and it's been downhill since.

One of the criticisms would be that The Rock would put over dudes in the ring a tad too often...put over Al Snow & Hurricane :pachaha:(Until Triple H went over Hurricane 2 weeks later...:hhh:)

And this promo


The Rock was talking that shyt to Big Show throughout that feud and he ended up losing...wasn't clean but he still lost. Sidenote around the 4 minute mark Big Show looked like he was struggling not to laugh instead of being pissed off :bryan:

The Rock was the least protected top guy of all time. Rock was #1 in ratings and merchandise sales, yet he lost to HHH way too many times.

She, like most top faces, just needs something more threatening to go up against. Lacey and Natayla aren't big threats, arent stars, and arent over. That's cooling her off more than anything. Charlotte, Stephanie, and Ronda Rousey are threats in kayfabe and having a cocky attitude towards them and backing it up is impressive.
