8. Welcome Becky... Now Please Leave
WWE.comBecky Lynch made her NXT in-ring debut this week. Shes athletic, the crowd was into her, and I already have a great dislike for her. Oh, shes from Ireland you say announcers? Thank you for telling me every 30 seconds during her match. I could not figure this out for myself from her Ireland inspired music, her gaudy green outfit, and her constant need to perform a jig during the match. Now, as far as Im concerned, if you dance during a match youre a heel. Its really rude to your opponent, and more importantly, its obnoxious. Imagine in UFC if GSP started dancing after knocking his opponent to the ground. It'd be funny, but he'd be quite hated for that action. Being from another country shouldnt be a gimmick in-and-of itself anymore, but WWE does this again and again. For years, Kofi Kingston was simply the Jamaican guy, Sheamus has always been the Irish guy, Rusev is the Bulgarian who is also inexplicably the Russian guy, and The Mexicools...well, lets just not even talk about that one. Of course, these gimmicks would fit in quite well in the year 1982 with Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Billy Jack Haynes, but these days they just feel dated. Lets hope that Becky can find something more substantial to her character, as watching a woman jig before and during her match can only be entertaining so many times, and that number of times is actually zero.
