    its like CM Punk doing mma. embarrassing but enjoyable

    Lol KOed him with that faster than any UFC fighter has ever been. No come back to that. Like I said in the avatar thread, if you are gonna have one, think long and hard about it before posting and trying to look smart.

    All I remember about her was she was at the top of the game with some wins. She went up against this girl who had really long arms and was a boxer.

    The girl punched her right in the face.

    That was the end of Ronda.

    That's how Wrestling works, though. If you have a draw you use them, no matter how bad they are in the ring ( cough cough Rock, Austin, Hogan )

    Nah, you can make a bad wrestler look good. See Braun Strowman, who people think is the greatest thing since sliced bread even though he's green as grass and has 3 moves.

    Wrestling isn't sport.

    I can't help but think of how she spoke of the WWE in this promo for SNL in 2016.


    "We actually fight and don't wear costumes."

    I'm happy she's going to continue to have a career ahead of her, and I'm sure she'll do well in the WWE. But, this was the first thing that came to mind.
    3 hints to surviving MMO-C forums:
    1.) If you have an opinion, someone will say that it is wrong
    2.) If you have a source, there will be people who refuse to believe it
    3.) If you use logic, it will be largely ignored
    btw: Spires of Arak = Arakkoa.

    There's no way she signs to WWE and isn't made into a leading face/heel.

    I can see her as a better heel personally, but I think it's pretty much guaranteed that she's going to go on a tear.

    MMA people are characters too. Connor Mcgregor shits on WWE all the time in interviews/social media but he's actually a huge fan.

    By talking shit he uses his fame to put the spotlight on WWE as well. Connor isn't a wrestler but he has a wrestler's mind, he knows how to work the marks and make use of social media to gain relevance ( for him and for WWE ).

    mostly he was in a movie about wrestling. But I think he had a short run in WCW back in the 90's after that movie came out. didn't last long though.

    She has the persona to make it in WWE, she made the right choice to end her MMA career. She had real talent, I think she believed her hype too much and too many yes men were surrounding her, when that illusion got shattered it broke her... Fascinating to watch, because it's like she forgot how to fight, like it was a different person mentally after that first loss.

    But yeah, she will make big money for the WWE and herself.
    Probably running on a Pentium 4
