The Official Mae Young Classic Tournament Thread

I was impressed with Lacey.

Shayna is too damn stiff in her movements.

Shayna and her push is easy to detest...but I think she gets it.

She made Candice LeRae look like a million bucks, and was an advanced "base" in so many maneuvers, I couldn't help but give respect.

Plus she's got that ZSJ-ish "catch you in a choke in some crazy ways" thing going on...

She was in a sport where she had to ignore pain, so I'll give her time to adjust the reactions as a pro wrestler...but if she continues to show improvement and flashes of brilliance the way she did then...then the push is justified.

agree

for 30 seconds they couldn't stop being excited about the teaser and on top of that they didn't even say anything back..something simple like "we know the perfect time and place"

I think we need to rally support behind Lacey Evans. This proud woman AND mother selflessly fought for and protected our freedoms, a debt we can never truly repay.

And these Japanese and Australian women have the temerity to disrespect us by coming to this great country and trying to STEAL jobs from hard working citizens?

Hell no. These countries are America's greatest enemies and they're trying to trick us with sex appeal. Well I'm not going to stand for it! I'm currently sitting down!

This was terrible and made me cringe. I guess we'll probably get a 4HW vs. 4HW match at WM or something, but damn, all of these women are corny as hell and the MMA girls are just awkward and I don't know who the hell any of them are besides Ron.

Finished the last of the episodes this morning. It's been an enjoyable tournament. A few notes:

- Not a fan of the commentary. Lita & JR have no chemistry. Lita sucks and JR doesn't sound all that interested.

- Abbey Laith, Candice LeRae, Mia Yim, Bianca Belair, Dakota Kai, Piper Niven, Rhea Ripley and Lacey Evans were all impressive. I know a few are already signed to WWE, but I hope we get to see more of those that aren't. All of them have a lot of potential.

- Kairi Sane & Toni Storm were obviously the stars of the tournament. They need to sign Toni as soon as she's free.

- Shayna Baszler moves and acts like a robot. Sometimes she doesn't look like she knows what to do. I hope she doesn't go over Kairi, but given her connection to someone with star power (which is probably why she made it to the finals), I won't be surprised if she does.

- Who the hell was that woman out there with HHH & Steph after the semi-finals matches?

I feel the same. The WWE's constant need for validation from MMA is pathetic.

Sara Del Ray... Google her

Death Rey.
Sara Del Rey.
Sara Amato.
Dope former wrestler now WWE trainer who kept the Shimmer streets fed with her thigh game back in the day.

Is Shayna even signed with WWE?

 

[Playaz Eyez]

I actually thought Lacey was pretty good in her match with Toni Storm, though there was a clear difference in skill. She's only been wrestling for 3 years and is pretty much where those Bella hoes are at, and they've been wrestling for 9 years.

Besides the obvious standouts (Bianca, Mia, Toni, Kairi, Piper), I thought Dakota, Nicole Savoy, Candice, and Rhea were good too. They were smart in how they paired up people with the brackets.

 

[OHSNAP!]

If they want to go WWE 4HW vs MMA 4HW, they could easily use Mercedes/Savoy/Deville as Baszler's partners, instead of Duke/Ronda/Shafir with zero wrestling experience

 

[OHSNAP!]

Not terribly impressed with Candice and Savoy, both came back from injuries though or are banged up iirc...

That would be ideal, but we all know the WWE is desperate for mainstream attention, so they'll attempt to leech off MMA/UFC as much as they can to it works

It should be all about Charlotte vs. Ronda.

Winner keeps the Four Hoursewomen moniker
