SturmCRF Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Obviously Sasha deserves to win this more, I haven't heard any majestic metal cover versions of Bayley's daft wavy arm men song over the last year. The Boss was also fully responsible for all the vocals on the above. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is multiple choice: Serenading someone while they are being beaten in the ring is ______________ A. Equivalent to cheering for a comeback B. A weird thing British people do C. Creepy D. Option B and C I was there and I didn't. Mainly cos I couldn't see, also because I'm a Sasha Banks loyalist, maybe even because I'm not creepy. Mostly the first two though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I would like to reiterate how repulsive I find that Full Sail crowds (was it originally on the behest of that ultimate shitbum, Mojo Rawley?) have a Bayley chant based on "hey we want some pussy" to the character that is more or less everybody's figurative little sister. UNDERLYING CREEPINESS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earliest I would close it at 9 AM tomorrow It will be based on how close and number of votes cast The most votes we had in a poll was roughly 134 - we have 120 so far. So if I feel like all the votes are cast - that will make it easier to close. Latest it will close is Noon tomorrow (either way - I will post warnings) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggulator Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I think closing it at a 60-60 tie and crowning them co-champs is the best way to end this. The wrestling story of the past year was Sasha and Bayley. 1) Bayley had to overcome her self-doubt to become the champion. This required her to defeat mean girl Sasha, who sold herself out to get to the top. Bayley held true to herself and won for Izzy and girls like her everywhere. Bayley doesn't become the hero she is without a foil like Sasha. And Sasha doesn't become the villain without Bayley representing the common person. 2) On a more meta level, they showed that women's wrestling does matter. They (and Charlotte and Becky) anchored NXT. NXT is still a fun and great sub-promotion without women's wrestling. But with The Horsewomen (and the next generation), it's just WWE's fake indie league. It's a better FCW. But the women made NXT important and vital. We can argue about the mechanics of the arm-work of Sasha and Becky or Bayley's underdog carry job against Nia Jax. That's minutiae. 2015 was their year. Let's give it to both. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick B. Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Women's wrestling had been established as a strong part of the show with Paige-Emma and then Charlotte-Natalya. Sasha-Becky was a match that (IMO) raised the bar in the sense of "I knew it'd be good, but I had no idea it'd be THAT good". The two Takeover matches between Sasha and Bayley had lofty expectations and lived up to them, especially in the case of the Ironman/woman match where they were put in the position to have a great match and delivered. I say this despite the fact that I abstained from voting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For about 5 seconds I understood why people complain about wrestling crowds, but then I realized they were saying "Bayley" not "Pussy" so I stopped being mad.

For about 5 seconds I understood why people complain about wrestling crowds, but then I realized they were saying "Bayley" not "Pussy" so I stopped being mad. ...How does "pussy" remotely sound like Bayley? I have to ask people to give in to their dark side. Give up what little pride you have that there is some decency on this Earth. And sure, you can use Bayley as your contrarian point, but come on. It is only a matter of time before she is out on Raw either being as ineffectual as a pre-turn Emma and Adam Rose. You know Vince is going to ruin her. You know it and I know it. If anything, he'll enjoy twisting the character and tearing asunder whatever hopes that she or you Bayley supporters may have. And I get your fascination with Bayley. In a post attitude era world, Bayley did something that you could not even imagine happening. She made innocence as a character trait feasible in an industry headed by a man who would doesn't know what that means. Empathy is integral to the character which goes hand and hand with wrestling like flowers and vomit. In a world where feeling like you are the best and having a can do attitude are the default, a character with a lack of self-esteem and confidence is fucking incredible like a rose growing out of concrete. Bayley made you care. Bayley returned your smile when WWE made you numb to pain. But Sasha is BAE. Sasha is hardened. I mean hardened like you do in Drago Age Origins to Leliana because fuck that cute shit. Sasha's character has to be the most interesting character that I have seen in the barely meta WWE world without breaking the fourth wall like CM Punk's horrible "Phil Brooks and Phil Levan...whatever the fuck HHH name is" promo. It's tale of what you have to do to be successful in the WWE world and the resentment you feel for not being yourself to make it. And she unleashes that resentment on Bayley every time she looks at her. It's Randy Savage after Hulk Hogan stole Miss Elizabeth away from him. It's Brett Hart after the world turned their collective backs on him. That struggle to me as clever a character can be in the WWE. And yeah, you might not like hip-hop culture and find it odd that the best wrestler of 2015 took homage from Nicki Minaj, but gimmicks like that are usually comedy gimmicks or racist caricatures. The fact that Sasha is seen as a legitimate character and competitor in a sub-culture that mostly hates hip-hop and definitely despises Nicki Minaj should speak wonders. Vote for BAE. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 If I did it right - this thread will automatically close at Noon EST tomorrow (there is a little message now so I think I did it right) For the finals, I am not going to use my vote as the tiebreaker IF the results are tied. I feel way too hinky about that. I am still trying to decide what I want to do - we shall see at Noon tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She doesn't want you, and it is getting kind of creepy. Bayley and pussy do not sound alike at all, but the "Heeeeey, we want some Baley" chant is done in the tune of 2 Live Crew's "Hey We Want Some Pussy." The first time I heard it I thought they were being dickbags at first. It didn't take me long to realize that isn't what they were saying Bayley, but for a second there it was a little off putting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
