Just to get it out there, I am a HUGE Ronda Rousey fan. Ever since I watched her cruise through Julia Budd in 39 seconds (Budd hasn’t lost a fight since) way back in 2011, I’ve been hooked. Whereas most people just want to talk about her losing to Holly Holm or Amanda Nunes, I remember her going 12-0 and leaving some of the top women fighters in the world in her wake.
Since transitioning to the squared circle, she’s had just one match….at Wrestle-freaking-Mania…which was one of the more exciting matches of the entire show. Even the Rousey haters got pumped up when Ronda hit the ring and got her hands on Stephanie McMahon. Because of all this, I say it’s A-ok she’s getting a shot at the Women’s Championship.
For me, the women’s division hasn’t been that interesting for a hot minute. I love Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss, but the whole bullying thing is doing nothing for me. Let’s get Ronda in there and give the title picture a shot in the arm. She’s shown that she can handle herself in the ring and is a legit BAMF outside of it.
She’s the female Brock (minus the doping violation), but with a genuine love for the business. Shit – Lesnar is about to break CM Punk’s longest modern day title reign and the guy has actually defended the title like 10 times. I feel that more fans would be outraged by this if it was anyone other than Brock. He gets a pass because everyone says “Well he could kick the shit out of me so it’s cool.”
Well let me tell you something, folks. Ronda Rousey can kick the shit out of you, too.
She may not shoot on you and reign down ground and pound like Brock (then again, she might). But, she certainly will get a hold of an arm, leg, neck, etc., and violently put you unconscious/tear your arm to pieces (ask Miesha Tate).
Ronda is the real deal and has a hell of a team around her (shoutout Shayna Baszler and Roddy Strong). Not to mention, the man himself Rowdy Roddy Piper co-signed her before he passed. If WCW was still around she would have already fucked David Arquette up and added the big gold belt to her trophy case before she started pillaging.
So, don’t come at me with that ‘Ronda doesn’t deserve a title shot’ nonsense.
