WWE personality says Ronda Rousey was “not an all-time great in wrestling”
During an interview with The Lapsed Fan podcast, former WWE star Ronda Rousey said the following about her storyline with Alexa Bliss…
“The fact that they had me fighting Alexa Bliss at all was f*cking ridiculous, and you wanna know why they had me against Alexa Bliss? Because she had the most merch sales at the time… Like, what the f*ck!? That’s your decision-making process?”
While speaking on his podcast, WWE personality Peter Rosenberg addressed Ronda’s comments about Alexa…
“For her to sort of, uh, not sort of, blatantly criticize the fact that she worked with Alexa Bliss—as if Bliss was somehow beneath her—was yet another example of Ronda Rousey needing to pry her foot out of her mouth. But like… can you just have a little class and not bury the people who work in the business day in and day out?
This is a business that gave you a lot of money, a lot of fame, and you did quite well doing it. And you left when you wanted to. I’m sure it wasn’t all perfect—nobody’s job is. But I just… I don’t know who she thinks she is to act as if—you’re not like Randy Orton or Batista, who, by the way, would never badmouth the business. I don’t get it.
Criticize UFC fighters—no problem. You were an all-time great in MMA. You’re not an all-time great in wrestling. You’re not. So you just don’t have the cache to say things about people like Bliss, who have been around a lot and given their bodies, their time, and their effort, and leave their child every week to be on TV—and go through a lot of different things personally and professionally to be a part of the business. It is incredibly disrespectful for you to decide your time was up and now you want to talk trash about the people who did it. I’m sorry—even if you were good enough to do it, you shouldn’t do it. And you weren’t good enough to do it.”
