But they paid her so there's no choice but right now she needs serious seasoning. Her pal Shayna Baszler is better than she is by leaps and bounds.

LMAO So someone who's had 2 1/2 more years of training is better? Well no ****ing shit.

In reality I don't blame her nearly as much as I blame the WWE for all this, who puts an unseasoned performer in a big Mania match?

But honestly you'd think she'd catch on faster than this. Dennis Rodman and Karl Malone had basically no training and never looked this bad. Angle picked it up in a hurry you'd think with her background she wouldn't look like she has no idea what to do.

Of course I'm sure they'd fire back "we can't put her in NXT".

She's not there to be a good professional wrestler. She's there for WWE to say "look, we have Ronda Rousey on our show" while they're in negotiations for a new TV deal.

Before she started getting famous, Rousey was a moderator for a large Pokemon internet forum. Seriously. Thats the introverted personality the WWE now has to work with.

She only made a ton of money mostly on merit because she was a pioneer who kept winning, and well-executed judo throws are cool to watch, so thankfully the UFC didn't need her to help them sell the fights.

They have a long while before that deal is up like nearly a year..also Fox is about fedup with the UFC so the WWE is actually going to have options so at the very worst for them they stay on USA for way more money.

I assume the WWE is paying her for more than that. Her name gets her only so far.

Really? I did not know this...

Hopefully if they pluck anymore MMA guys they realize they need ones with personality.

Anyone as heartbroken as me about Tony vs Khabib

To give her an ounce of credit for the show, she does have a pretty good angry face when its time to look mean or intimidating, so there's that. If you need her to open her mouth and say something though, then you are in trouble.

I was really hoping to see the Eagle put the el smasho on the Boogeyman.

I have accepted that the MMA Gods do not want that fight to happen. They tried 4 times now, its going to take a lot for Dana to make a 5th attempt. I'm now very interested to see if Holloway can make it competitive.

All they would have to do is book her like Brock, and she'd be fine. Give her a mouthpiece like Heyman, beat the shit out of the girls before putting them in an armbar, and wear her mean face while doing it.

The WWE will also call him up in minutes if he becomes free and available.

It's Conor,

Generally yes, but it all depends on hydration levels and weight
