The segment wasn't crap the way they meant it to be. Alexa's doing a good job overall, yes. But this segment was not suppose to be boring and cringy.
How do you know? It was supposed to be a segment thought up by Alexa, with insults invented by Alexa, and actors brought on by Alexa. Alexa is a soulless cunt who doesn't care about anyone but herself. She doesn't care about your entertainment. She just wants to embarrass Bayley. She did a poor job because she is a horrible human being with a lack of awareness.
It was suppose to make Alexa seem like a total bitch. Instead it just made both talent look bad. She's suppose to look like a good heel.
Good heels become faces in 2017, it is not in Alexa's best interest to be a face. If that happens she may as well change her name to Bayley Banks and enjoy working a program as Jack Gallagher's valet.
That way when Bayley beats her, Bayley actually beat someone.
I expect Alexa to win but I could be wrong and not relevant to this discussion.
The idea that the top heel isn't suppose to look good in a segment that they controlled and came out on top in is nonsense.
Heels can only be so entertaining in 2017 or they become faces. Do you really think WWE expected that segment to win an Emmy?
You can entertain an audience with out making them cheer for you. Roddy

All of them are entertaining villains. And if boring, cringy, and self burial is what they were going for- then fine. But it wasn't. They wanted none of those things. It was clearly a segment that was suppose to ramp up the feud and make Alexa seem like a charasmatic bitch.
Not sure if charismatic is supposed to be part of her character. Maybe charismatic to the weak minded follower.
But the writing was so bad, she couldn't.
They are supposed to be Bliss' words, Bliss is a dumb cunt who doesn't care about anything other than herself and humiliating easy targets like Bayley with her own made up bullshit. The writing was pretty spot on.
Bliss is totally capable.
Bliss the actress is totally capable and willing, Bliss the character may be capable but she isn't going to put out the effort to amuse you. Again, good writing.
But not when she's handed shit. One shot with the kendo stick? I'm sure that'll draw heat. >.> And that kiss thing. Just. Why?
This has more to do with Bayley's failing as a character to you. But Bayley is not for you.
It was "intended" to be crap? You're lost.
Do you really think WWE thought that you would think that segment was anything but "crap"?
This excuse making for the current product and taking revisionist history shots at the highest rated segment in RAW History (Rock and Mankind) is falling on deaf ears.
A popped rating is not an indication of quality. It is an indication of interest. Tell me what you loved about it?
