10 Most INFURIATING WWE Quirks

5. She - PRONOUNS, PAL! - Just Loves To Entertain

At TLC, Asuka attempted to maintain her (how can you not feel sorry for Michael Cole? He works in snake pit) undefeated streak on the main roster. She faced Emma, one-on-one, live, at TLC. Asuka commanded her awesome aura through a super-stiff ring style and snapping opponents into sudden submissions. She was a terrifying, unbeatable force.

In the opening salvo of the match, Asuka attempted to separate Emma's arm from her socket. She (f*ck's sake) then flattened Emma with the running hip attack. Asuka, as a psychological taunt, smacked her own backside to convey to Emma that she was nothing to her but a child to discipline. This isn't how Michael Cole - or Michael Cole as a vessel for Vince McMahon - read the situation.

"She is a joy to watch," he said. Cole, perhaps sensing that Vince was about to give him a right old b*llocking, attempted to placate his boss by offering one of his favourite, senseless, McMahonisms. "Asuka is all about entertaining!"

No. Entertainment is a byproduct of how f*cking charismatic and lethal she is. She does not set out to "entertain". She sets out to dominate.

What's more, Asuka "just has fun out there!" because she wrestles an unorthodox style, as most WWE superstars do. Unorthodox basically covers any wrestling style not transplanted from Florida Championship Wrestling. So it's normal, then.
