You’re jaded from years of watching. Happens to all of us… we start looking at the past through rose tinted glasses
Guess I’m out of my mind.
shyt ain’t the same. Maybe it’s the writers, I don’t know.
There’s tons of guys on the roster right now and across pro wrestling altogether right now that can easily hold their own and even stand out in golden era.
Its amazing how folks think wrestlers are anything put stage actors.
The current crop cant act and seem to think their acrobatics earn them something ir matter at all.
This girl is a shyt wrestler because she cant emote or generate any emotion in soeech or in in ring atorytelling.

Yessir. She’s definitely miscast currently
They had something with the recycled Mr. Perfect “EST” thing but they kinda stopped leaning into that once she gained popularity. (They still call her that, but it’s not really a character emphasis anymore)
Which makes sense. Bragging about being the best at everything is pretty heelish.. once they finally let her turn heel though, she’s gonna cook!
Being heel has done wonders for Rhea… she stunk a year ago, now she’s comfortable and shining. Bianca will be the 1 (not 2) once her and Montez become a heel power couple

Why does everyone have to turn heel? Seriously people today want every damn wrestler to be a heel because ya'll think every heel is a badass, MJF is a heel and he's been garbage on the mic for a while now. Sasha is complete dogshyt on the mic, but her character and wrestling skills are top level. People swear Britt is great on the mic but she's just confident, her promos are actually trash as well and she can't wrestle for shyt.
I never said she had to. I'm saying her promos would be much better if she was
What Russo is actually saying is that Bianca needs to whiten up her delivery. She's too "urban" for middle America. Personally, I don't think that Bianca needs to change her tone, her cadence, or her dialect. There are plenty of little Black girls who talk like Bianca who need to see and hear somebody who talks like them in a prominent role.

She'll come into her own. None of the greats came out the gate swinging. In fact, they were worse (Austin, Rock, HBK, Hall, Bret, Reigns, etc...)
Because it’s natural character progression in pro wrestling and has been for years
Whether it’s The Rock and Austin completely reinventing themselves after being smiley faced flops, HBK turning into a complete dikk of a human after being some tassel wearing goofball, or even something as recent as Seth Rollins having a career resurgence after fans turned on his babyface run, or Becky developing that edge after floundering as a goofy Irish bytch for a few years..
It’s not as complicated as ya’ll make it. A lot of guys are simply more comfortable playing heels. it comes more natural and is often closer to who they actually are than the smiley faced baby bullshyt. Once they find that comfort zone, it’s typically easier to transfer that edge over into a babyface run, and it’s smooth sailing from there
Fans hated Roman Reigns for years, now they’re DYING to cheer the guy. When he finally makes that turn, he’s gonna be mega over. It took going heel to get him there.
Bianca will be fine either way because she’s over and that’s really all that matters, I just think her work could benefit from crossing over to the dark side for a little while.

Facts. Bianca can follow the Ricky Steamboat blueprint and never turn heel. Besides, as a babyface Bianca's damn near printing money when it comes to merch sales.

Can't be forced. Roman, Rocky and Bailey became heels off fan heat.
Right now, the fans love her so it would seem fake.
Sasha Banks was a great heel.
Her promos aren't bad... it's just that they're all pretty much the same. Every week, I know she's never gonna say much to the opponent that sticks, or is funny, or is threatening, or... it's basically gonna be "you wanna go against me? You think you gonna come out here and I'm supposed to be scared? Girl... uh uh. We can do whatever you wanna do"... cue the fight.
It's not BAD. It's just the same promo, every time. Russo is a moron tho'. Two things can be true.

my only issues with her promos are they can be formulaic sometimes heavily relying on her catchphrases and they dont always give her much to work with material wise but that isnt HER fault
shes more than proven that she is a top tier promoer in the womens division whether as a heel or a face and I will never understand the narrative that she cant promo, especially coming from other black people... like do yall not have conversations with other inner city black women? she sounds less like shes reciting a typical wrestling promo and more like shes naturally having legit dialogue especially when she does backstage interviews and I think that works for her, shes convincing and relatable
non-black fans and critics love to throw the "stereotype" word at a black wrestler who carries themselves unapologetically because it makes them uncomfortable and they dont interact with many black people on the regular

I don't really think Bianca gives a fukk. She has had two legit matches that were worthy of being on WrestleMania and is established. Russo just a Sad Podcaster whose was part of an era that has pretty much retired or passed away.
Her promos are not great, but are OK.
And not everybody is a great heel, internet fans mark out for heels way too much. I've seen so many wrestlers have mid heel runs that the internet swears are great because they're angry people and love heels.
