Wow, Charlotte Is Really Awkward

Not in the ring of course. In big matches, she can really do no wrong. But God, almost every time she opens her mouth in a non wrestling segment, it's just bad. "I'll destroy you." Or, "Stick to hugs! Before I destroy you!" The material sucks, and the way she expresses is just as bad. Every time she does a promo, she just sounds so awkward.

Thank God she is Flair's daughter and a natural in the ring. If not, she'd go nowhere fast. It's amazing how she can be so great in one aspect and so bad in another.

Don't know what it is about Charlotte, but I just cannot gel with her. I think she's over-hyped. She can go in the ring but I find myself just 'ugh-ing' when she's on my TV. I think it's cause I don't really think she has a character, she's just Flair's daughter. Like I feel like she hasn't gone out of her way to get away from it. Or WWE are making her ride the Flair-wave.

Her entrance music, can't stand.
Her hair, can't stand (awful hair extensions - lol this is a pathetic reason to dislike someone but jesus charlotte sort the weave out girl)
Hasn't really got any charisma imo - hard really cause Ric has tons and with her looking a female version of him and NXT constantly highlighting she's his daughter her mediocre-ness on the mic is extenuated even more so.

People like Sasha Banks aren't my flavour either but I like her cause she has character, a little bit of sass.

Bayley is showing a range of emotions within her character too.

Idk :shrug

I like her in the ring. It's true she's had more 10 minute plus matches than the others, but if you're bad, the match will be worse the longer it goes. In a short time since debuting, she's put together an impressive catalog already and her last 3 PPV matches were better than any Paige match in NXT or on the main roster imo.

But I wouldn't call her the best. Sasha and Bayley are better than her in the ring, but Charlotte can hang with them. Idk if she can lead a match like the other two, but she's good regardless.

Becky- Idk. I think she's decent and she's had 1-2 impressive short matches but nothing to write home about. She needs a breakthrough performance.


I've always found Charlotte average to decent at best on the mic, and sometimes she can come across as pretty bad too. But I don't mind it much coz like no diva is good on the mic atm and she's not Brie Mode levels of bad.

Nah I don't get why people say she's good in ring. If anything she's just the only diva on NXT that's actually exposed at a decent level. She has wrestled lengthy matches at all but one of the specials and will continue to do so until she's off of NXT and on the main roster permanently.

Sasha, Bayley and Becky are all better than her in-ring, but they haven't shown it to the masses because they haven't gotten the time. You can tell if you pay close attention to their shorter matches in Sasha and Bayley's cases (as well as the matches they have together, they're always at least decent), and Becky's past work in the indies.

As for the promo, @KINGPIN tagged me to watch it and I think I was up getting a drink as it came on so I only HEARD it but didn't see the facial expressions (or probable lack thereof with Charlotte) so I should go and watch it again. :evil

She's had three 4*+ matches in the last year, compared to maybe one or two 4* women's matches in the entire company in the preceding 10 years. I think that's enough to say she's good in the ring.

I'm not gonna lie, I am NOT a Charlotte fan. Can she go in the ring? Yes. However, nothing bothers me more than a descendant of a legend, whether it be son/daughter - grandson/granddaughter use the legend to get them over. The coming out and constantly doin the "Woo!" Just really bothers me. You can have it be known that you are Ric Flairs daughter, but come up with your own character at the same time. If Charolette develops her own character, maybe she'll change my mind. Right now though being the female Ric Flair just isn't doing it for me as it's coming across as cheap & lazy.

It wasnt that bad man. You would be pissing your pants in front of the camera. And Bayley would laugh. Because it would be funny.

Well, yeah. But I'm not the one getting paid to talk on television.

It's pro wrestling, everyone has corny lines from time to time. Charlotte is good on the mic.
Bayley was bad too and she's normally good in that type of promo. The segment sucked and both of them looked bad. And to be honest, most of the backstage segments in this week's show were pretty bad.

Charlotte has shown she's a good talker plenty of times.
Ok, can you guys show me any examples of a good promo or a good non wrestling segment? Not being sarcastic. Seriously, I've just never seen a good example. I mean, I've been watching NXT consistently since Arrival. I can't remember one good promo or interview.

All I remember is:

#1 : In the build up to Bayley vs. Charlotte - "Stick to hugs! Before I destroy you."

#2 : Last episode: "You pull a stunt like that again, I will destroy you."

#3 : After she beat Sasha: Cut a very awkward promo before Sasha and Becky attacked her and Natalya saved her.

Seriously, any examples?

Not sure what promo your referring to but I think she,s solid on the mic. Not great but def good. She also has a presence and is the fastest improved wrestler that I can think of in recent memory. Only guys with highly skilled amateur credentials like angle and lesnar match up to her interms of improving. In a year she went from horrible to a top 3 female worker in wwe. If she keeps the pace up she,s gonna be the best in wwe.


I mean she isnt Aj on the mic but other then Aj and Sasha you wont find any micworkers much better then her. Like her delivery. Reminds me of jwoww from jersey shore. Big bad bitch.


She has to stop doing the woo and get rid of the flair remixed theme song though. Everytime she goes woo I feel almost as awkward as when Brie yells briemode.

Lines, man. Lines. Give wrestlers bullet points to follow yeah like (make sure to mention championship match, intimidate opponent, etc.) but giving wrestlers lines only makes them dependent on them too much. They might not improvise as much and not improve any on the mic. You can tell Charlotte is just parroting lines given to her and not making up any of her own material.

That being said, Charlotte still has room for growth and she's already great in the ring and has good presence. If she learns to swim on her own on the mic, she'll be fine.

What is Charlotte getting so much hype now because when Paige & Emma was down in NXT, nobody even knew who charlotte was, there was no buzz on her at all. It had to take Paige and Emma to get promoted to the main roster for her to get any buzz.

Charlotte still has room to improve on the mic. Just look at Paige and while i admit that she was still green on the mic in NXT and being a HUGE fan of her, she has improved alot on the mic on the main roster to being one of the best on the mic within the divas division. When the wwe doesn't give her some genetic script and lets her do her thing, she rocks it.

Brie Bella is still the worse though.

Let's throw her out of the WWE, have her put together her own matches, and then see how good she is.

Sasha carried the entertainment part of their match at REvolution and Charlotte went through the motions of wrestling. Charlotte didn't add the personality and I'm pretty sure she didn't put the match together.

There is nothing special about someone who only learns/executes the 'motions'.

Charlotte has really won me over, I'm not saying she's the best because that really depends on who her opponent is but yeah, she's a definite future top diva and multiple Divas Champion. I wouldn't be surprised if she breaks AJ's record for longest reign, I'm actually hoping someone breaks it to be honest.

After Charlotte became NXT women's champion there's very few bad promos from her. This may have been the first so just go back to any NXT episode with a Charlotte promo and it'll probably be either OK or good. I'm not saying she's Ric Flair on the mic but she's better than average, especially for a woman. I remember an impressive promo like a month ago where she owned the crowd when they were chanting for Blue Pants.
