I would say they should immediately call up Io Shirai and Kairi Sane but knowing WWE they would just enter and endless bordeom feud with Asuka for 9 months.
Also i have to say its remarkable that they botched Sasha and Bayley to the point where this is the first anyone has mentioned them. --- Board 8's Voice of Reason https://imgur.com/chXIw06 ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'll be honest, I don't even fully believe that WWE thought far ahead enough to actually plan to use Asuka's streak to put over Carmella. I almost think "Put Charlotte over Asuka" and "Put Carmella over Charlotte" were two completely independent thoughts that they lacked the foresight to realize what it'd mean in the end because the writers are just that bad.

"It's too hard to write Asuka as an unstoppable badass with a winning streak, so we're going to prematurely end her streak so it's easier to write for her."
Then they proceeded to not use her for over half a year and miraculously, by her own merit alone, she is still very over. --- Check out my entertainment blog!: www.heroicbiz.com I discuss video games, comics, movies, and TV! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Eddv posted...Shes over because shes a decent worker. This is her main problem. This is also how they botched Nakamura before Nakamura decided he was done giving a shit. Other than the "Hes the Japanese Michael Jackson" push hes had no character. Its genuinely difficult to get behind a character whose motivations are unknown and who never encounter obstacles that they then overcome. This is largely on WWE for not being able to tell stories non verbally. Its not just racism that results in foreigners being heels. You can successfully heel (in WWE) without speaking. Its much harder to baby face (in WWE) - especially in Asukas case where her broken English is so rough that it undermines any legitimacy her fighting stype might lend her (though her emphasis on ass based combat does sort of lend her to midcard goofiness when combined with this) --- Board 8's Voice of Reason https://imgur.com/chXIw06 ...

IMO overt characters are overrated
they've been trying to force one on Dean Ambrose for quite some time now but he'd be way better if they just let him be the personality that he naturally leans towards. instead they try to make a caricature of that and then feed him scripts of that caricature. as long as you've got a solid personality and you work good in the ring, it works for me --- Got a brand new blues that I can't explain ...

Hard disagree.
WWE doesnt know how to do this right now. They'll just say HES THE LUNATIC FRINGE or HE WANTS TO BURN IT DOWN and think mission accomplished. But you watch.... Fuck any other wrestling program but I am thinking most of PROGRESS, CHIKARA, Impact and even LU despite this seasons....problems. Every wrestler has a purpose, a trajectory, goals. These can be simple like in Progress or they can be convoluted and layered like with this long term Allie story on Impact but it does a lot to make the program more watchable. In WWE they have like... Maybe 5 or 6 total characters but for the most part people are jus sort of aimlessly feuding. --- Board 8's Voice of Reason https://imgur.com/chXIw06 ... Copied to Clipboard!

I've got to complain for a moment about Bianca Belair. Is she supposed to be a character I want to cheer on? I find nothing likable about her personality or demeanor. Everything about her screams "irritating people in line in front of you at Chipotle" to me. Even her catchphrase hits me like nails on a chalkboard. Do people here actually like her?
