I remember seeing her against Naomi and thinking that was really bad. I just saw her versus Sasha, it was uploaded in August when Alexa won the belt back. That wasn't engaging at all. Sorry, I just don't think she's there in the ring.

She may not gel with Naomi so well. Oddly specific critique, and you're ignoring a lot of other things.
You didn't like the Sasha match with the fake broken arm? |

She's hot and she plays a cosplaying bitch and that appeals to geeks. It's smart to ease her into the roster with something like that. They clearly have a ten year plan for her to be around for ages. As I've said, I'll probably end up loving her when everyone else is saying "I'm sick of her," when she's actually good.

Well you're entitled to all of that. But we could for real find botch gifs of pretty much anyone.

Her match with Asuka on Raw a few weeks ago was pretty good

I haven't liked what I've seen from her with Bayley. Or Becky. Haven't seen the Charlotte match. Also don't particularly care to, because she doesn't draw me in. Sorry, but I feel like I've given her enough of a chance to make a loyal fan out of me at this stage. She can do a lot of stuff really well. There is a lot of stuff that she can't do well. That's fine. Why can't she just be as good as she is? Why does everyone need to exaggerate her talent to the point it blasphemy to compare her to other divas who were hired for their looks and can barely run the ropes? She's a perfectly passable Diva-grade wrestler. |

She has had a slew of good matches. More than I ever thought she would be capable of. I always thought she was hot, but I didn't always think she was good. Now though...I dunno what you'd like to see from her.

Is “cosplaying bitch” really her gimmick? She dressed like Harley Quinn once

That's true. These are just things that I remember Alexa doing when I've been asked to give her a chance because "she's really good now," and then I see her fuck up about four things a match. Which is fine -- she's inexperienced. It's the fandom around her that bothers me more than she actually does.

That's when people got on her bandwagon. It matches up perfectly to No Mercy 2016. Before that, people were saying "Why is she getting called up? Ew." Correlation is not causation, but if I were a betting man...

Alexa has not only been working hard, but she has been flourishing amongst much better talent than Kelly was surrounded by. Why does she not deserve that respect? Also, still waiting to hear about a single good Kelly match.

You don't have to go back and watch these Bliss matches we're mentioning or anything, but know that I've seen them all, and I suffered through Kelly's entire career in WWE too. I can say without hesitation that the comparison is fairly off the mark. I also haven't mentioned how hot I think Bliss is in this entire thread until just now.

And I'm still waiting to hear about a good Alexa Bliss match. We can both play that game. I do think Bliss is better than Kelly, but not by so much it's insulting. Come on, now. Even if the matches you have come up with are good, you're still at, what? Two? Three?

I'm not going to go back and forth on this endlessly. I just don't think she's as good as people say. Doesn't mean I hate her. I just think the people who put her in some rarefied air are kidding themselves a bit. But to each their own.

Three off the top of my head. I've enjoyed plenty of her matches. At least I named a few.
But yeah, to each his own. |

And I'm sorry, but Kelly was trash in the ring. Like, for real.

This is just circular to me. Kelly is bad, but got better, and Alexa was bad and got better. I'm not seeing any nuances worth distinguishing. Alexa is better, but they have had very similar trajectories.

This is dumb now.
You know who else has blonde hair and was awesome? Yoshihiro Takayama. Lets talk about him instead of this dumb bullshit. |

I don't love Alexa per se but I don't ever remember her coming close to being as bad as Kelly Kelly

Maybe I am not remembering how much Kelly Kelly improved, or at least putting it into contextual significance. Still, this idea that Alexa is a great wrestler is yet to be firmly established to me. Sorry.

Yeah, it's definitely a "diva era"type of move.
Fucking love the headscissors faceplant to kneeling opponents tho. Her submission is cool too. |
