She really needs to work on her promos - she's not convincing at all and her promo sounded like she was reading straight off a script. Everything she says sounds so forced, please get her some acting classes.

Nia ain't fat for one.... Second, I liked it, it told that bullying and body shaming is wrong. she would literally be medically defined as overweight and borderline obese. you are not more educated than a doctor.

I have no issue with her "size" my issue is that her shtick is boring as hell and she flat out sucks in the ring.

She's painted herself as a victim in real life because people call her fat on Twitter. So WWE turned it into a Be A Star campaign. If you want to blame anyone for this disaster, blame Nia. This is a two part problem: 1) People don't want forced political correctness in their wrestling. Regardless of how you feel about bullying, which I'm guessing the majority of people find it deplorable, wrestling is still a theatre act about two human beings beating the sh*t out of each other until one of them can physically hold the other one down for 3 seconds. The entire premise of wrestling is for one guy, or girl, to bully another one into a fake fight. This is another shining example of how WWE superstars have blurred the lines between being actors and being real people, and I absolutely hate that sh*t. You don't see Josh Brolin stopping mid Thanos monologue and telling the audience it's all just an act and bullying is bad. That's how stupid what Nia did last night was imo. 2) Nia is not good. She's a really clunky wrestler. She's a terrible promo. She doesn't have a single quality that endears her to the audience. There is nothing about her that is likable and her being anything but a monster heel is disingenuous to the audience. There have been countless "big" performers in wrestling and not a one of them succeeded by being a whiny little crybaby because not everyone in the world said nice things about them. If she was really such a great role model she would just own her size with real confidence, or better yet, own the fact that obesity is a serious problem in our country and it leads to heart failure and a plethora of other medical conditions that people don't take seriously until it's too late. Also, the average professional career of an athlete spans 3 and a half years in most sports. Venus at 37 performing at that level is a compliment. Tom Brady and Jaromir Jagr received the same kind of sentiment in their sports. Athletes stop progressing physically at around 26, thus putting their prime between 28-32. Most NFL running backs are replaceable by like 25. How many Olympic athletes peak around 21? Barry Sanders retired at 30. Bobby Orr retired at 31. That's how biology works. Who is Venus? Also, i’d consider 31-32ish to be young for a wrestler and mid 40s to be old so NFL ages aren’t relevant to wrestling in my opinion.

I have no issue with her weight. Nobody should. But the problem I have is a grown ass women crying over being called names by a girl a third of her size. She's a monster and should act like one. Same thing when Big Show used to cry all the damn time. (Wo)man up and punch em in the face.
I also don't think Nia is as polished in the ring as some of the others that are being wasted. I can't fathom how someone like Becky, Sasha, & Bayley are sitting on the sidelines while Nia & Alexa are getting WM spotlight matches.

I've been convinced for a long time, if she wasn't the Rock's cousin she wouldn't have been signed to the company, let alone be the champion of the Raw women's division by this point. And it just bugs me, when you have someone like Becky Lynch, who the crowd loves, who has fans that connect with her, and she's got the skills, and she's being squandered, and losing matches she shouldn't, while you have Nia, who they're trying to to push as the face, of a mis-guided anti bullying storyline, that is really not working, and quite frankly not making any sense.

Sasha simply isnt as good as people say/think she is. Bayley seriously needs to change her schtick. She's solid in the ring but the wave around hugging, Im a little girl still dreaming of Lita just isnt connecting with the fans. If she could develop a character then she might get somewhere. Wrestling is was and always will be about character development. Which is why Alexa is getting top spots even though she's mediocre in the ring. Whether the fans love or hate her, she's still getting a reaction.

I have a problem with all the women's characters in that they really don't have any. Really...what are the characters that the women wrestlers are portraying? Nia isn't like most girls Alexa is...short and wears spiky finger gloves Asuka is an "Empress" or something Charlotte is Ric Flair's daughter Natalya is Jim Neidhart's daughter Naomi glows in the dark Becky drinks tea Bayley hugs people Sasha wears Macho Man shades, JTG jewelry, and Eddie Guerrero gear Dana Brooke is a secretary from a porno Billie and Peyton are Australian Carmella is fabulous Lana is Rusev's wife Mandy and Liv are almost the same person same with Sarah and Sonya and also Paige and Ruby That's...it. Those are the characters that the women play from what is shown on TV. The only one I would have changed is Becky. The fact she's ginger is more memorable, than her drinking tea in my opinion. But all the rest are spot on.

Bayley does need some work, but if given direction, I think she’d be a hit amongst children. Becky I agree 100% on.
