What I avoided saying much about was Ronda Rousey. While the biggest story coming out of the Rumble was Rousey\u2019s major debut, I wanted to take some time to put together my complicated thoughts on this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Positive:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ronda is a huge get for WWE. While many guest stars and current stars have come into WWE and brought mainstream attention with them, I can\u2019t think of a single woman that has done so. Ronda brings major attention to every woman on WWE\u2019s roster. Being part of a peer group with Rousey should mean something.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s hard to argue that WWE has a bigger star with crossover\/mainstream appeal than Rousey. Brock Lesnar\u2019s time has come and gone (and should have ended over a year ago). John Cena is making the other transition from wrestling into the mainstream. The Rock definitely still exists, but he isn\u2019t about to start wrestling for WWE in anything more than a one-off.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Middleground:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> WWE has told us for a long time that WrestleMania season is for part time wrestlers coming home and getting a top spot. Undertaker has done this for over a decade and fans still get excited for his returns. One of the key things missing from WWE has been a part time woman coming in to elevate the women\u2019s matches at WrestleMania.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last year we had a six-way match and a four-way match for the full time women on WWE\u2019s roster. It was disappointing. Rousey brings with her a dedication to the division and a dedication to treat women with the same care men get. While this means the women\u2019s roster will likely fall victim to the part-timer jamboroo that WrestleMania is for men, it also means women\u2019s matches will be higher on the card. I wouldn\u2019t even be surprised to see Ronda Rousey main eventing WrestleMania next year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As odd as it sounds, this is a form of equality. WWE would likely justify making almost every men\u2019s match at WrestleMania more important than women\u2019s matches saying those men are special attractions. While they\u2019ve chosen not to have their full time women be special attractions, they don\u2019t have an option with Rousey. She is a special attraction. She will bring the special attraction attention to the women at long last.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s one of WWE\u2019s worst storytelling habits, but at least women can benefit from it for once.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also don\u2019t know how good Rousey is as a wrestler. While she\u2019s been training in WWE\u2019s Performance Center for months, could she be ready for a major match at WrestleMania this year? Will anything but a major match in her debut for WWE really matter? I have a lot of doubts about her transition into wrestling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Negative:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> While Rousey is a special attraction, she is hardly coming in at the height of her mainstream power. After decisively losing two UFC fights, Rousey comes to WWE after a year out of the public eye. While many people have heard her name and may have watched her fight, it remains to be seen if she\u2019ll have mainstream impact at the level she would have in 2015.<\/span><\/p><div id=\"prowr-852012763\" class=\"prowr-content-4 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_2 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_2\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rousey is also a problematic figure. She became a de facto symbol of female empowerment, but made statements calling other women \u201cDo Nothing Bitches.\u201d Heck, she made t-shirts with the phrase and sold them. Rousey isn\u2019t exactly a feminist icon. Making her a focal point of WWE\u2019s renewed commitment to women\u2019s wrestling could backfire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When she made her debut, Rousey was dressed as someone else. While it was a touching tribute, it was an odd atmosphere for it. Rousey seemed like she was playing at wrestler, not being a tough badass wrestler.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Conclusion:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I want WWE\u2019s Ronda Rousey experiment to succeed. I want her to be a great star for WWE. I want WWE to use her to make more of their women into household names. I believe, if the best possible timeline plays out, Ronda could help lead to an amazing shift in the landscape of wrestling towards true equality between men and women. Add in WWE stocking up on women in developmental and things are looking up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I could also see a flame out. I could see one match exposing the mystique of Rousey and leading to WWE deciding they made a huge mistake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If I had to bet, I\u2019d say she ends up being a net positive, but could take some time to develop into one. People will be quick to write her off if her first performance is poor, but WWE is showing a longterm commitment to main event women\u2019s wrestling for the first time in their existence. This is a positive no matter what.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>What I absolutely positively love in wrestling this week:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Asuka vs. Bayley from the February 5, 2018 Raw<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Bayley has struggled to find herself on WWE\u2019s main roster, but Monday was a major step forward. We saw the version of Bayley that refuses to go down without a fight on Monday and she\u2019s still awesome. We also saw Asuka in a good, long, competitive match for the second week in a row. WWE seems to have changed directions with Asuka, realizing competitive matches will lead to major affinity for her as a wrestler. This is a positive change. Asuka is going to be great going into WrestleMania.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>What I absolutely positively love in the world this week:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Dunkirk<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; I know I\u2019m late to the party here, since this movie was released months ago. I had no interest in seeing this movie until it was nominated for Best Picture. It was the last of the nine nominees I saw. I generally enjoy Christopher Nolan movies, but rarely seek them out. I don\u2019t believe the world needs another World War II movie. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dunkirk<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> changed my mind.
