Alexa Bliss is now claiming SHE CAN WRESTLE but only...

[R=G]

As a face

In an interview with the Cheap Seats podcast (via Wrestling Inc), Alexa Bliss spoke about not getting the credit she deserves for her in-ring work in WWE. Here are highlights:

On not getting credit for her in-ring work: “I don’t, but here’s the thing, I’m a bad guy. Who likes a bad guy that does a lot of flashy things? You know what I mean? It is my job to be hated, so if that means coming in when the opportunity is right and cashing in on other people’s misfortunes in the ring that is what I am going to do. Now, when I become a good guy, are people going to see a brand new skill set from me? Absolutely. Right now, my job isn’t to wow the crowd with my in-ring ability, my job is to be hated, which is what I love to do. My job is to be hated because people get that much madder when I win a title because they talk about me not being able to wrestle in the ring—I can, but I am choosing not to, and the fact that when I win and they are getting angry that only means that I am doing my job that much more.”

On Ronda Rousey’s ability to emote in the ring: “I am absolutely impressed. She does really well at her facial expressions, which I appreciate because I am really big on facial expressions. It is really easy to appreciate the fact that you know she has been hit before, and you know that pain, you have that emotional connection to her one way or another when you watch her perform. I was very impressed with her match against Nia Jax, and also her match at WrestleMania with Stephanie McMahon and Triple H, it was just awesome. I am very proud of her and it’ll be fun to see where things go with that.”

I don't wanna see Bliss as a face.

LMAO!

yeah cause beating up an opponent that's twice your size for the majority of the match is definitely wrestling like a heel

Ragdolling Ronda...two weak briefcase shots to Nia and basically whooping her ass in both their matches...dominated Charlotte at Survivor Series..Sasha and Naomi are the other ones who basically beat her down all match.

I ain't rolling. Too many people have actually shown they can wrestle as heels (HHH, Rollins, Sasha, etc.) for that argument to hold weight.

That said, in the most technical sense of the word, she can wrestle and her comments tell me that she understands the game WWE is trying to sell. If her job is to be hated, she does that better than any other women's wrestler in WWE right now.

Is she as good as some of the other women in the WWE? No.

Cheap Heat podcast not Cheap Seats.

She refuses to take bumps. A heel has to take good bumps when a face is on there come back but she doesn't.

The problem is that she is supposed to be a punk heel not a ruthless one and yet she dominates everything. It just seems weird

Exactly, great heels make faces look better so they sell tickets. She makes everyone she’s in the ring with worse. Ronda gonna look like the novice she is unless the match is a squash

I guess Ric Flair & Shawn Michaels did being heel all wrong

I guess Eddie did too...hahaha

Sasha could wrestle as a heel and can wrestle as a face. Hell even Charlotte has shown she can do both.

All I hear is excuses.
