    I agree that being Flair's daughter is probably what resonates in people's mind when they first think of Charlotte. But it's best to acknowledge her for her own abilities too. Nikki said that Charlotte is No.2 because she's Flair's daughter, because he's a legend and she has his blood. As if that's any reason to describe why someone should be No.2 or No.1. I just think it comes off real cheesy, and doesn't do Charlotte any justice.



    Agreed, but it's best to not to over emphasize it so much. Being a daughter of Ric Flair is not going to make her any fans, or get her the recognition she deserves. They should do like they do with Natalya, or Paige and just casually mention her family background from time to time. But you don't have to say to make it so obvious, it just looks bad for her.

    Initially that is what would have attracted me to Charlotte, the fact that she is Ric Flair's daughter. In much the same way, Becky being Irish made me interested. But when people are worth watching, you see past these details I find.

    Charlotte had to overcome people seeing her as " ric flairs daughter charlotte." to "Charlotte ric flairs daughter."

    I don't think of her as Ric Flair's daughter primarily anymore, I think she holds up.

    I wouldn't even look twice at Becky Lynch if I saw her in a club. Distinctly average looking. Whatever happened to the days of Torrie wilson, Stacy kiebler and Kelly kelly?



    She does have some creepy stalker fans though I'd imagine. Wonder is there any on here...

    Is that meant to be read as they look at her as Ric Flair's daughter, as in WWE do? Yeah, I think that's painfully clear with how much we are reminded of it. However, I think association with her probably can help Becky and Paige a bit.

    Difference being Becky is a wrestler first and a model second unlike those ladies who were known as a Playboy model, valet with great legs and extreme expose stripper.

    Yep, Becky being the only one of the four that won't have to strip to get a pop.

    And who are you? Simon Cowell or someone?

    So you come into the Becky Lynch thread and dismiss her looks like that's even important? I'd say if she ever even looked at you in a club you'd jizz yourself on the spot

    I'm sure she'd be heartbroken that you wouldn't look at her.

    She'd have to buy me a drink first but I'd probably let her seduce me after that.

    Becky's fake tan is as bad as Finn's promos.

    What's wrong with her accent ? It's a Dublin accent.

    Shes not the best on the mic at all is she! Very rigid and awkward. The "simple" character or whatever they've given her isn't helping.

    Rob McCarron from Shake Them Ropes made the observation that if you took Becky and Finn and put them in front of a camera to cut a promo it would resemble Sheldon and Amy from The Big Bang Theory doing their "Fun With Flags" video.

    The lines the creative are feeding her are god awful and she seems very nervous when speaking on the mic still.

    She does have acting training and I'm hoping that the more exposure she gets, the more her confidence will grow and thus she will be more comfortable.

    This whole bickering on the Becky Lynch thread from time to time is disgoostin. Her accent is great however, I think. It's nice to hear a voice that sounds familiar. I'm sure everyone here probably knows someone from Dublin who has an accent similar to Becky's one. It's cool.

    I thought there were elements of Monday's fiasco which were alright. Her expressive face mainly. Her short promo on the way to the ring on last week's Smackdown wasn't too bad either in terms of confidence. She's got a ways to go and is kind of inconsistent. As one segment she does something well and then in another one she does the same thing badly. I see all side on her though.



    What she says here is bit cringe but she's showing more confidence as time goes on.

    A huge part of the issue with Becky is that she doesn't have a defined character.

    Her ring gear, look & style seems to change weekly which makes it hard for people to know what her character is until Becky/Creative settles on a look that is consistent she will struggle I think.
