Just once, can WWE stop having its babyfaces look like idiots? It seems to be WWEs mantra when it comes to talent: Heels are cowards who cant win any matches on their own, and babyfaces are gullible idiots who get fooled with minimal effort. Case in point, we have Becky Lynch, also known as Charlottes wacky sidekick. She already got deceived once this fall by Paige, who essentially turned heel, then tried to re-buddy up with her cohorts, only to finally turn heel for good (or is she?). Now, we have Charlotte following in her dads footsteps, ripping off Ric Flairs Dirtiest Player in the Game act and also exhibiting small, heelish mannerisms. Given what Beckys been through with Paige and the fact that shes openly criticized Charlotte for more than a month, youd think shed be wising up to her, but all signs point to her just continuing to give the Divas Champion the benefit of the doubt right up to when Charlotte inevitably beats Lynch up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziQWMjYK9es And then someone in WWE creative will have to explain how looking like a gullible fool is supposed to make fans cheer for Becky.
