I just can't get behind Charlotte.

I don't know why i just can't become a fan of her and i really tried. She really isn't that great in the ring like they tried to make her out to be and she absolutely sucks on the mic, dare i say Brie Bella (who is the worse mic worker) is better than her.

Also don't like how she is nothing but a female version of her father just like how she said this isn't about her dad but proceeds to do everything just like Ric on her RAW debut. If she actually had a character of her own than maybe could get behind her.

The age factor will also be against Charlotte, she is 28 years old and she really isn't all that marketable and doesn't have a big fanbase down in NXT when you compare her to Paige or Emma or Sasha Banks. I really don't think Charlotte has the "it" factor compared to divas like AJ, Paige, Sasha Banks and Nikki Bella. These three sells tons of merchandise and i am sure sasha banks will as well when she gets called up. It'll be terrible business to push aside a young 22 with tons of wrestling experience and the future (paige), the face of the division (AJ) for ric flaire's daughter.That wouldn't be fair to Paige and AJ.

She will improve over time but i don't like how people saying she will save the divas division because she won't until the booking and wwe put some care into the division, she will be treated just like AJ, Paige and Emma. While AJ, Paige and the bellas had it better than Emma, they still have gotten shit booking. Of course I expect Charlotte to be pushed to the moon because of her father is and i don't like that one bit. She isn't the saving grace and isn't even the best female roster in the wwe, she is just OKAY. People saying Paige, AJ, and Emma was going to save the division and they didn't yet. What makes you think Charlotte will? haha And Paige, AJ and Emma are the best female talents on the roster, when you are given shit to work with and the wwe doesn't care about how the division is booked than there is nothing they could do about it.

I think she is overrated and was only given the belt so quickly because she's Flair's daughter. I agree with you on how she says it isn't about her father but then acts exactly like him and uses his catchphrases.

I don't find her particularly appealing, however, she does exude a certain confidence that the other women don't. Her confidence is sort of subtle and you know it isn't related to physical appearances, it's confidence in what she thinks of her abilities.

I do find her entrance frustrating, why is she doing the splits in the ring when she can't even do them properly?

Yeah I kind of agree. I've forced myself to get behind her, but I just cant.

Her wrestling skills are decent.
I find her really unattractive, ( The whole, flat ass, big boobs, long legs, square skinny stomach, long neck, and mole.)
She's greatly overated because of her dad.

I see her as a future Divas Champion, but if she gets that before the likes of Naomi, I'm gonna be disappointed.

If you dont like Charlotte, may be you dont like wrestling?

She is wrestling. Looks, charisma, wrestling skills, the name. She got signature moves, taunts and catchphrases and it doesn't matter that she borrowed some from her father. Ric Flair is a GOD of wrestling, a lot of wrestlers using his things.

She's only lacking mic skills, but she's not terrible and she'll get better with an experience.

Char is fucking awesome!!!! And got royal fucked over by
the bookers/match makers during her raw review. When nattie wanted to put char
over like gang busters.

But i do also feel wwe needs to wait to give her the call-up.
None of the nxt girls i feel are ready. They are extremely close but not totally ready.

well nattie doesn't have the pull backstage that someone like AJ has. I read it was AJ's idea to call up Paige so she can drop the title to her before she went on vacation.

She isnt going to win any beauty contests thats for sure[Shes not ugly].
But she does have a unique look. Shes got that ripped/hard bodied look.
Along with her height makes her an imposing figure.

And shes got a more masculine way of wrestling.
Which brings a unique in-ring-flavor.

If wwe keeps-up with the more aggressive girls [Paige/charlotte/nikki bella].
And theres some on the list im missing i know it.
But they should be included.

AJ and Paige also has a unique look. Plus they both have that cuteness to them. Just like Sami Zayn, Seth Rollins, cm punk if i was gay, i would so go for them. lol

Charlotte needs to stop lifting weights cause i'm not into over masculine women. Wasn't with beth phoenix,china etc.

Of course you can't get BEHIND Charlotte. Bram would murder your ass.

I agree with a lot of the criticism Charlotte receives. However she's still early on in her career, experience wise. I like her style of Wrestling, it is a lot tougher and technical than the standard for Diva matches. And yes, it is highly hypocritical to say you don't want to be in your father's shadow when you are using his moves and catchphrases.

I think the biggest roadblock for Charlotte is that Attractiveness seems to be the most important value for the Divas. So for those who say they want women that can wrestle, they should "get behind" Charlotte and let WWE know that Beauty is not more important than Athleticism.

And WTF WWE where's EMMA?!

I feel bad for Emma because she will get lost and we probably won't see her ever. She'll be the new Layla or the new divas jobber that the faces of the division beat weekly. It'll be Paige, AJ, The Bellas and Charlotte on top of the division.

She's already better than AJ, Paige, Sasha or Nikki. She looks, wrestles and acts like a legitimate athlete and that's what's missing from women's wrestling.
LOL She may be more athletic but she isn't a better in ring wrestler than Paige (especially), Sasha and AJ. Nikki has improved alot as well.

And yes, it is highly hypocritical to say you don't want to be in your father's shadow when you are using his moves and catchphrases.
this is my biggest problem with her. Come up with your own catchphrases and finishing moves.

Charlotte is absolutely incredible for the amount of time she's been wrestling (2.5 years). However, she is still noticeably worse in terms of in ring skill than a number of girls (Paige, Sasha, Natalya, Emma, Becky Lynch). Which is to be expected, she is relatively new compared to these girls. She is also pretty damn poor on the mic as well, and needs a character beyond Flair's daughter (and she can't be a face; you can't have a "genetically superior" face and one who tells the crowd to shut up), but again, that's something that comes with time, mainly only when you reach the main roster (take Paige of a clear example of this, only got better when she made the move up). What I see in Charlotte is someone of about the same skill as Michelle McCool; athletic, a bit physical (Although Charlotte is deceptively weak for such a toned body) and decent in the ring. Someone who can be taken to a great match by top level talents (Nattie, Sasha) but can't really make a match herself or thrive with short time slots. She's good, not nearly as good as people say (Meltzer, JR and Alverez basically calling her the best female talent WWE have ever had, mainly due to nepotism) but good, and like I said, incredible for the amount of time she's had training.

The real issue with Charlotte is time is not on her side; she's already 28 in a business where the average retiring age for women is early 30's. Add to this people like Paige and Sasha who are 22 and 23 who are a lot more advanced than Charlotte, let's just say I can't see Charlotte being someone they hang the division on when they have 2 younger girls (one of them being established and over on the main roster, the other being more over in NXT and more set to make the transition to Main Roster with less hassle) who can take the division forward in the future.

Ok how can someone bring up Charlottes attractiveness than praise Emma? One looks like Flair while the other looks like Kermit The Frog.

Divas division needs an athlete like her, the Total Divas stuff is taking away from all the actual athletes they have, bring in a Charlotte and Sasha Banks and finally althe Naomi's and AJs of the world have someone else to wrestle, because Total Divas matches would be a waste and they don't need to be in those 3 minute trainwrecks of tags.

I agree with you for the most part. She has improved a lot, but she's still nowhere near the level of Nattie, Paige, or AJ. I feel like a big part of her push is because she's Ric Flair's daughter, and she won't save the Womens division because simply put, WWE doesn't see a problem with it. They've had the women to save it for a while now, but for some reason continue to make the Bellas and horrible storylines the focal point of the division.
