Noice.
To be honest, I haven't actually sat down and watched WWE in over a decade. I just follow roughly what happens with the women through their website and articles and stuff. That being said, and as much as I like ryona in it, I think it's actually great the women are finally being used right and getting the credit and respect they deserve. Take Becky Lynch right there at the Rumble- that loss wouldn't have been nearly as hot had she been a dumb bimbo like we saw back in the day. But the fact that she's basically a female Stone Cold makes her few losses like that infinitely hotter.
It's a fantasy vs. reality thing for me, I guess. While it's great to see ryona in WWE, I'd rather see the women actually succeed and do bigger and better things (with the occasional ryona still mixed in like with Becky and Alexa the last few days lol). Best example would be Paige when her career ended. Having her come back after a full year, overcome the leak and everything, only to suffer a career-ending injury that was legit difficult to watch (there's footage of it happening at a live event) and was honestly heartbreaking. Had it just been a scripted humiliating defeat that'd be hot, but the reality of it hit harder than any fantasy ryona thing.
So anyway, while I love the ryona and don't even really watch WWE, I must say I'm glad the women are doing so much better. Just thought I'd note that amidst all the sexy beatings!
