If she was good at media people would care, but she's annoying and awkward.

I don’t care much for the match, but the only reason I’m trying not to completely dismiss her is because of her supposed “full-time” contract. If she’s going to legitimately be around and be able to compete on TV or whatever then she at least has a chance to improve on everything she does.
I’m also not going to say she’s taking someone’s spot at Mania, because she’s not. Maybe some spotlight on the women’s title matches is lost, but Triple H and Angle would’ve in all likelihood been on Mania(probably against each other) in the first place.

I think they need to play off her real fighting background and limit her time on the mic because obviously she isn't a natural in that area!

Ronda was the bully that ran the playground and then she ran into Holly Holm and got knocked the hell out. Then, after NOT congratulating Holly, she literally goes into hiding and contenplates suicide and then goes crying on the Helen DeGeneres show how she hated life and blah blah blah. Then, she finally comes back only to get WHOOPED again, even worse this time in like 48 seconds to Amanda Nunes. Again, she did NOT congratulate the person she lost to and takes off again and now she's in WWE. My main problem with her is her lousy attitude. She thinks she was the greatest thing since sliced bread or the second coming of Jesus, whichever you prefer. She never lost like a true champion. Never admitted defeat. Never congratulated those who beat her. She's just got an extremely lousy attitude and I've never really been a fan because of that. And after watching those interviews, it seems like her snobby attitude continues. To hell with her. She's an idiot. She showed herself up long before that, during TUF, and then again, when she refused to shake Tate's hand after the fight. I agree with all of that, yet she walks out after RR and the live crowd goes crazy for her. Everytime she shows up they cheer for her. She’s said in interviews lately that she’s used to the boos and was expecting them, and the cheers have humbled and overwhelmed her. Not sure if I buy that or not, but I think it’s causing the already inept creative team to be even more confused. I think she was planning on being a heel but now she’s just as lost as they are.

Not to be a dick, but if she's been a fan for her entire life you'd think that she would at least have SOME idea how to sell. She went through a table and basically just looked up at Steph with the exact same expression as if she was a child looking up at her mother from bed.

They jumped the gun with her. She should be spending the next year at the PC training. Or they should have given her the Eva Marie treatment and gotten her a private coach in California or wherever she lives. Anything else just seems like a waste of time and money. She isn't ready.

Yes, people care. Her segments are getting huge viewership online and she got a ton of press when she debuted.
I understand hardcore fans not liking her but she wasn't signed to appeal to them. She was signed to help grow the company and I think it's obvious that she's already done that, and as she continues developing as a pro wrestler, I think she'll continue to bring new eyes to WWE while also legitimizing it at the same time.

it was a good performance and under the circumstances of 78k fans, biggest PPV on the calendar year, working with your bosses, she did really well. But let's be as objective as possible, she was sloppy with some moves, missed a fall-away slap, messed up a go-behind - but with that said, she showed tremendous potential! She needs a costume change though - shorts/bra riding up and boots look silly, she spent a lot of time fixing herself.

The Ronda tag match was fun and everything right with wrestling & a wrestlemania match. I feared this could be really bad but it was probably match of the night.
You can nitpick little things with her performance but she over delivered. It was her first match she’ll only get better.
If you watched Takeover & turned off wrestlemania after the Ronda match you saw amazing performances & Matches.

It takes time. She'll be fine if people give her a chance before shunning her. Yup, she looked pretty damn good for someone with such minimal training. If they keep working with her, she's going to do great.

If they keep working with her, she's going to do great. She barely did anything that showed she had been training for weeks. She didn’t bump, she didn’t sell anything. Everything that she did, she could’ve done at any point with zero training. Especially that awkward throw to Stephanie. Cringe worthy. The match was definitely fun though. Especially not knowing who was gonna win.

She hit the ropes, played to the crowd, was aware where the camera was, had great facial features, knew the dynamics of a tag match and held the tag rope... I was blown away for her first showing. I was worried we would get a smiley face step counter. We got someone well beyond that.

For someone signed by the WWE as a full-time talent, you better be showing more improvement than those two. Ronda was sloppy as all hell. Again, I won’t say signing Rousey was a bad move yet, but she isn’t going to be able to get away with that crap with the women’s roster. Hopefully more training helps her tighten those things up.

I think Rhonda improved tremendously since last week RAW when Stephanie put her through a table and her facial expression was like she smelt a fart. She's got a lot to learn, but the beautiful thing is that she will learn and is a genuine fan of the sport. Everyone craps on Miz but look how he's been able to build a hall of fame career already, and he was a reality star-wrestling fan.

Here is my take, I never popped for Snooki or Arquette. Ronda was infront of a crowd lastnight that probably wanted a crap fest to boo at with her. That crowd would have shut her down. But she rose to the occasion, and shut alot of naysayers mouths. I’m not saying she is at all ready for a strong singles push. But damn, I’m ready to see more.

I mean Eva Marie was in WWE for years and never looked as comfortable as Rhonda did on her first night. I also thought her suplexes looked "safe" and she told a fairly good story with her expressions. I'm not saying it was a masterpiece, but I was impressed.

I know WWE is always liberal with their monikers for people, but how can they even attempt to call Rhonda “the baddest woman on the planet” when she fought twice in five years and got knocked out both times?
HOW is that, on any planet, the sign of “the baddest”?
