The Bella Twins Don't Fit This Women's Era

You're right and this makes sense, except for it happening twice in one match and multiple times in the last few weeks. They can chalk it up to ring rust if they want but neither are very safe right now. What gets me is the one who has a phenomenal technical wrestler as a husband is doing worse than the one who has John Cena as a husband lmao how does that work?

The way that works is that technical wrestling ability isn’t based on who you sleep with. Also, Brie is a mother who retired long before Nikki. Nikki has had more recent experience, her move set is more solid and slow paced, and she can focus more on training.

As for the spot, it’s really easy to screw up. I know from when I throw strikes in the gym, I’m not 100% on target most of the time. Timing is huge with those kicks. It’s kind of unfair to place blame on Brie or Liv for the kicks. Trying to get proper contact there takes a lot of skill, like hitting a baseball (and a batter that fails 7 out of 10 times is considered great). With Brie having a bunch of ring rust, not really having the skill to pull off those moves, Liv thrashing around as she sells (as she should be), and Liv having long extensions that could block Brie’s view, a ton can go wrong. Even the second kick, I don’t blame on Brie because I’m sure if she noticed Liv was out she would have kicked her again. So accidents happen. Apologize and move on.

Where things really broke down in my mind, is that when Brie saw Liv was hurt, she was totally unprepared and had no idea what to do. I believe she was trying to buy Liv time and thinking getting Liv to the corner was helpful, but she should have backed off. Wrestlers should be properly trained in that stuff. Also, the referee needed to jump in and take charge there. He allowed Brie to grab Liv and pull her around.

Also, the tweeted out apology was also a bad look. I’m sure she meant well, but it just opens the door for criticism, and it comes off like she’s just trying to protect “the Bella Brand”. The tweet came off like a PR statement to me. She should have just apologized in private, and let the internet hate blow by.

No, Morgan was just supposed to be on her knees and let Brie kick her chest 5 times. No bump was taken. Why didnt Brie Bella aim and pull her kicks correctly?

You are acting like Brie pulled a Benoit on Liv. Good grief, If Bryan had injured anybody with his kicks, there'd be excuses flying.

I wish WWE would just come completely clean about their past and current treatment of women, and not just by constantly pushing bra and panty matches under the bus (several of them, most notably the Gauntlet match from NYR 06 were quite entertaining and furthered storylines). The problems go deeper than that, and they persist to this day.

The first is that the women have no personalities. They have a look, a catchphrase to put on t shirts, and a nickname. There is nothing that differentiates the heels from the other heels, or faces from other faces, and every feud is exactly the same. The only place where they are given a personality is on Total Divas, and the girls who are not on that show (save for Charlotte Flair and now Ronda Rousey) suffer for it in the long run.

The second has been the prioritization of models, homegrown talent and part timers forcing the more talented wrestlers to the back of the line. They sacrificed Luna, Jacqueline and Tori for Sable, Ivory for Miss Kitty, made Victoria lay down for Maria, Ashley, Kelly Kelly and almost every other Diva Search contestant until she had no credibility left, shoved Michelle McCool (who was NOT over, all of herreactions were piped in) down our throats for years, and are now doing the same thing with the Bellas. Instead of just letting two talented performers like, oh I don’t know, Asuka and Sasha Banks, put on excellent matches worthy of a main event spot, they are constantly handicapping them by having one of the people in the match be a complete crap show. Any match that has a Bella Twin, Carmella, Nia Jax, Lana, Alexa Bliss or Dana Brooke in it is going to instantly drop in quality, because not every one of them is created equal. It’s been a popular sentiment that EVERY WOMAN has been an integral part of the Women’s Evolution, but it’s a bold faced lie. Most have held it back tremendously because of a lack of talent and taking up a spot from someone more deserving.

You think Torrie Wilson and Stacy Keibler would have had ladder matches if they were allowed to? You think Kristal Marshall, Ashley Massaro, Jillian Hall, Michelle McCool, Joy Giovanni and Candice Michelle would have had an Elimination Chamber match? None of these things started happening for the women until NXT gave WRESTLERS a chance to properly train as wrestlers and put on great matches. Paige, Emma, Charlotte, Sasha, Becky, Bayley, Asuka and Natalya deserve the credit for showing people that women could put on good matches. Unfortunately, when talking about the rise in quality of matches, you have to s*** on people like The Bella Twins because they suck in the ring and have for years.

That's all I have to say.
