Dear Lord of Light, we're gonna get stuck with a Wrestling 4 Horsewomen vs MMA 4 Horsewomen Survivor Series Match, aren't we?

So WWE gets their premier women to wrestle with one of the more famous UFC fighters and her posse which will likely get them mainstream publicity as well as force the creative teams to focus on other women for challengers to the titles instead of constantly relying on having the WWE Four Horsewomen in the title picture 24/7. Plus you'll get the visual of Rousey in the Dis-Arm-Her and the Bank Statement at some point.

I think the idea of the frustration behind the booking is that you're part of a very, very small percentage of fans that cares to see that. Also - Alexa and Nattie are the brand champions. It isn't necessary to throw out another meaningless C-list "celebrity" match to push other women.

So who's the third man? Please for the love of God don't be King. I'd take Sam Roberts over King. Ranallo isn't coming back to the main roster. Shit maybe the have it be R-Truth, I'd be ok with that.

King's been bad for years, but I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate Sam Roberts; comes off like an obnoxious smart-mark working harder to put himself over than anything else. Matt Stryker without the credentials.

Sam Roberts is ok in my book after the whole Nancy Grace thing a few months back on he and Jim Norton's Sirius XM show where he ripped on her for including guys like Owen Hart on her list of mostly drug/wrestler heart attack deaths in the immediate aftermath of Benoit

Rousey is a C-celebrity? She's the second most famous MMA fighter in the world and is a genuine mainstream star.

Honestly, if they can get her they should have her beat Asuka at 'mania. None of the other Horsewomen are anywhere near hot enough.

A bigger issue with the proposed match is can you throw the jobbers Rousey hangs out with on live TV without it turning into a fiasco?

Rousey has already been broken. Having her beat any of their women would be stupid. But shit this company jobbed Beth Phoenix to a TV host.

There might be money in Rousey going one-on-one with someone, but nobody is proposing that and it isn't what's being built up. So yes, a Four Horsewomen vs. Four Horsewomen match is a C-list "celebrity" match.

The Meltzer episode of Officer and a Gentleman dropped and it's really fun. Neat to hear Dave interviewed by prominent indie wrestlers because he's far more deferential to them than he normally is. Ricochet joins the conversation too.

Rousey isn't the star she was, but she's still a big deal. I can see them doing the Horsewomen vs. Horsewomen match at Survivor Series and then a singles match at Mania. You would hope she puts somebody over at Mania unless it's (gross) a match against Stephanie. I don't think The Rock will ever get cleared to wrestle again, so we can probably rule the HHH/Stephanie vs. Rock/Rousey match out.

Who doesn't want to see Brock vs. Reigns at WM where Reigns is finally solidified as THE GUY (for the 4th year in a row) and a mixed tag match between all part timers? 

I think that would rank third behind kiddie porn and snuff films for stuff I never want to see.

Brock Lesnar got his fucking ass kicked in UFC his last few fights and people nearly stormed Titan Towers  with torches when he lost his first match to Cena.

Assuming Rousey has any aptitude to be in the ring, I sure wouldn't book her 50/50.

Rock ain't wrestling, so if you're talking mainstream value...yeah a match with Big Steph is high profile but Asuka is basically booked like a shooter and has a legit rep and she's the best female worker in the company by about three football leagues. Not that they would do it but definitely the smartest match and, again, assuming Rousey has any natural aptitude I'd book her as strongly as you can and build up a babyface.
