To each their own.

Shayna Baszler is like that chick who slept around and moved to a new city for a fresh start. People unfamiliar will believe the badass straight killer narrative with no problem. People who followed her MMA career know she fell off years ago, was cut from the UFC with not a single W and lost 5 of her last 6 fights. Jessamyn has a record of 3-5 and was also cut from UFC, Marina who is 1-2 never fought in UFC and we all know what happened with Ronda.

It's very easy for casuals and those who forgot or don't know about Ronda's Ls seeing them and going " They must be cold!!!"

So, I like Shayna Baszler's look and what I saw from her in the tournament. I'm just real leery of this MMA-ification of pro wrestling.

All those ladies have a toughness about them that I find charming, though.

Shayna has yet to wow me during this tournament. She's just bland. Almost Dan Severn status.

Even though she fell off she's a million times more legit than Shibata and people accepted his 'shoot badass' gimmick so

I guess its more so the mindset that regardless of their record they were legit professionals in MMA which makes them automatically perceived to be superior to "fake" wrestlers

What other girls besides Tessa, who got kicked out in the first round do you brehs think should get a developmental contract?

Kay Lee Ray
Jazzy Gabert
Santana Garrett
Sage Beckett

I'd have said Sarah Logan, but she's with the company.

Sage is already under contract. They were running with her as a bodyguard for Lana at live events way back when.

That theme of hers is also all types of

Bianca Belair and Kairi Sane had the best match of the tournament by far. It took a bit but by the time the semi-finals hit they definitely built up Shayna Baszler as the monster heel with the lethal chokehold.
