Im giving her time. Yeah shes not that great on the mic, but 80% of the main roster has that same problem. From what she's done in the ring so far, she needs some work. Just give her some time before majorly criticizing her.

I definitely care. It's an interesting project, and she's an intriguing prospect. I'm excited to see her work a match against someone other than Stephanie. The mic work will probably come with time, and she hasn't been disastrous.

I get the build but it's like get to WrestleMania already. I'm not sick of Rousey I'm sick of the angle, no pun intended, the current feud she is in. I'm not digging Stephanie and HHH in it right now. Triple H thinks Angle is nothing. And Stephanie needs to fear Rousey more.

She's never going to be good on the mic. It's her personality. Did anyone see her interview on ESPN today? Max Kellerman was complimenting her and she thought he was making fun of her. He had to explain that he was not.
She also said in the same interview that she will be leaving in a year or 2 to have "have babies and walk around barefoot"

The problem is she’s not credible as a “bad ass” after two back to back losses and essentially taking her ball and going home after it.
She disappeared from public eye for nearly three years and didn’t do anything... then shows up looking constipated on WWE TV and everyone is blowing her like she’s the second coming.
The sooner this experiment is over with, the better in my opinion.

Im interested but shes booked all wrong. Since she cant go 5 mins without smiling or crying they need to book her as a "fan" that finally made her dreams come true. Have her get beat down, verbally abused....make her look weak....then when the bell rings she turns into a monster.
Thats how she was in the UFC. People loved her. She was attractive, great smile came off as the "girl next door" type. Then when she came to the ring you could tell crap was bout to get real.

Doesn’t matter if her expressions are intimidating or not they are the same as when she was in the ufc kicking ass

The novelty of Ronda Rousey has definitely already started to dry up. She has no aura around her already. She should be billed as this ultimate fighting machine. Instead, she has a cheery and colourful theme with the Rowdy gimmick, wears clothes a middle aged Mum would wear, and has already shown the World what she can do in a WWE ring (which as of now, is looking more terrible by the day).
They should have had her have zero physical contact which anyone leading up to Wrestlemania bar a possible one punch or kick KO to somebody. Half of the allure is to see what she can do in the Ring, it's why we want to pay for Wrestlemania, so why give it away week upon week, and also expose her bad in ring ability and devalue her credit at the same time? In UFC she was a legitimate badass. I'm not sure if it's just because they've done the same gimmick as they have with Lesnar which has led to them not doing the same with her. I don't know, but I'd have had her wearing her Reebok training gear every week on TV, along with a serious theme. What I will say though as, is that I've been surprised by how bad her mic skills are and how uncomfortable she seems to feel when being out there. She's a global Superstar, appears on national television programmes on a weekly basis, and has always been a good talker in UFC fight conferences and weigh ins, so I'm shocked that she feels nervous when cutting a promo, especially considering it's not only scripted for her but the fact she's been a long time fan and knows the drill.

Honestly, I do care. Which was a surprise to me, given how opposed I was to the idea of her coming to WWE prior to her debut. WWE have made me care, through giving her a babyface character (which is the complete opposite reaction to most people in this thread, it seems). As a non-MMA fan who honestly doesn't give a crap about what she's done prior to WWE, I wanted her to have a babyface character earning respect, rather than demanding it. If they had given her a heel gimmick and made her a female Brock Lesnar, I'd have zero interest in her, and I'd want her gone for the good of the women's division. My only concern is that they don't have her destroy the rest of the women's division on RAW. They've already had her make Dana Brooke, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville look like crap. I don't want them to do the same with the rest. Hopefully with her babyface character, that won't happen. Either way, 'Bad Reputation' is great, and I love the Roddy Piper tribute.
On the negative side, she is atrocious on the mic, and I don't think I've seen anyone wear worse makeup, shy of being a clown. But I'm happy to give her leeway in regards to her mic skills, given that she's brand new to performing in pro wrestling. I only hope that she can develop her mic skills to at least a decent level in the future.

She will be known as the biggest flop since Lord Tensai.

I wish people would sit back and let her develop for a while before passing judgement. Her name alone brings new eyes to the product and that is not a bad thing. She is in effect a green as grass rookie thrown into the deep end while just learning the business. Given her attitude and desire to be here, she should get better. I'm willing to wait until at least SummerSlam or Survivor Series before I start using words like "failure" or "flop".

I've been a fan of Ronda for years and i'm confident she will have a solid performance at Mania.
