7) Someone pointed out that if Sasha went to the WWE she'd be doing bra and panties matches, she hated that, and said she wanted to go to Japan and Mexico to be a real wrestler

When they say the biggest marks are the ones in the ring they arent lying.

Put these chicks in bra and panties and watch the ratings go up.:smugfavre:

A lot of credit to Alexa Bliss for being given an opportunity and running with it. But it really sucks that her whole run & title reigns could’ve/should’ve been Sasha’s.


Sasha (especially coming out of NXT) could’ve been the under-sized heel champ that found ways to keep her title.

Sasha could be the one to have Nia as her enforcer and then they go all in the HBK vs Diesel storyline.

Bayley’s career would’ve been in a much better spot if she had Sasha to chase (playing off their history & friendship)


Sasha was the most over person coming out the Women’s Revolution. Has had the best matches in WWE’s womans wrestling history with Charlotte & Bayley but always plays 2nd/3rd fiddle. Guess she aint white enough or blonde enough or doesn’t have the wrestling lineage to get that spot at the top.

I always go back to Hell in a Cell when it comes to Sasha. All the stars were aligned for Sasha to emerge as a truly transcendent star in the company. The kind of top face they could build the entire division around for a solid year or two.

It was the first time the women main evented a PPV, and it had a decent amount of casual buzz because of that.

It was (at the time) a fantastically booked feud and the only one that night that actually warranted the HiaC stip.

Sasha AND Charlotte were over as fukk and performing at the height of their abilities. Sure, they're still over and still good, but neither has been at quite the level they were that night since.

It was even in Sasha's fukking hometown.

You couldn't ask for better conditions to create a true new star. All they had to do was have Sasha win. It wouldn't even have hurt Charlotte, since she was already cemented as top heel at that point. If anything, she would have benefited from the added buzz and enthusiasm a Sasha win would have garnered as her name would have been mentioned right alongside Sasha's.

Instead, Charlotte won, their feud went on past its expiration date, and neither women has looked as good since. Sasha is stuck with the "can't defend a title" albatross around her neck - which makes her look like a loser - and is slowly but surely moving down the card. And Charlotte, bless her heart, is trying to squeeze blood from a stone with this bland face run. All that momentum just wasted.

And I'm not just saying this cause I'm a fan of Sasha. I'd feel the same way about any talent they missed the ball on like that. Cause got damn, did they miss.

Yeah so they only write for the women's champ

Everyone else is background

Which is why this era sucks

Cuz back in the day even the nobodies had storylines
People say there isn't as much star power because wrestlers are smaller, but neither McGregor nor Mayweather are heavyweights and they did crazy numbers in a shoot environment. Reality is even those that are over get a big push during title programs and just thrown out there the rest of the time save for a few. Sasha has the look, swag, and connectivity to modern pop culture she could easily be 2017 Lita

always felt that Sasha could be modeled after Beyonce or Rihanna but you need writers and showrunners who aren't middle aged white men stuck in the past to do so :francis:

Sasha is the only woman they have with crossover potential. Naomi was a possibility but they kinda damaged her too much over the years. Sasha could have been a female Rock or Austin. It's crazy how they fukked this up.

Alexa is good character in the wrestling sense.. but she does not have crossover appeal.

They had an opportunity when they had the storyline with her and Alexa, but they wasted it.
