What do you disagree with? Ronda was clearly thrown off by the boos the other week and it affected her train of thought during her promo. That means it bothers her. Not to mention she was visibly upset also at Survivor Series when the crowd cheered her getting her ass kicked by Charlotte.
Now, could Ronda just be a really good actor? Maybe. But given her entire tenure so far, can we really say she's THAT good most of the time?
Whether or not she's been thrown off by the crowd reaction, her non-wrestling performances have been phenominal. The suggestions before that she needs to change an be more like Bazzler don't make any sense considering how well she's been doing with so little experience. She couldn't have been doing any better than what she's been doing. And people insisting her performances - in and out of the ring - haven't been up to snuff really need to explain why they feel that way, imo.

I don't think the initial posts criticizing Ronda were about her in-ring stuff. I think they compared her to Shayna because Shayna's character work and crowd control is further along and that Ronda could learn a thing or two from that.
That's it. It's just that some people here took it as if people were saying Ronda wasn't any good in the ring, etc,.
Put it this way. Ronda's ring work is fine. People talking about ways how she can improve her character, etc, and using an NXT example is not necessarily saying that Ronda "should" be in developmental.
I think people talking about Ronda's issues in here have been pretty explicit, to be honest. It's the people responding negatively to these posts who haven't really explained why they have a problem with the criticism. It's been basically "Wow, these are stupid takes."
Which explains nothing as to why it is.
Even you. You're saying right here "She's doing really well, with little to no experience. She couldn't do any better." But why do you think that? What are the examples? You haven't explained your position beyond "Well she has little experience anyway."
Personally, I don't have as big a problem with Ronda as some people in here do. I am reasonably happy she's RAW champion--better her than Alexa and Nia, in my opinion. I can't think of anyone on RAW who I'd want as champion over her currently. Maybe Sasha? But if not Sasha, I am fine with Ronda. I think she has elevated the division to be more athletic based than talking/diva-based--which is what I personally prefer. But could she still improve in some ways in terms of character and handling/working the crowd better? Yes, I think so.
