Behave. Whether they should have done a different angle is a fair question. They've got weeks though so plenty of time for something more serious. I don't think she should have been "written off", just taken out for the remainder of the episode. Keep showing replays, giving "live updates" as to her condition and whatnot so that she's not out of sight and out of mind, but enough that she's putting Shayna over as dangerous. She could show up on RAW next week in full Stone Cold beating everyone up until she gets what she wants mode, or gatecrash NXT tonight looking for Shayna, so would get her heat back quickly, and potentially come out of it a stronger bad-ass babyface than she was going into it. That said, I've actually seen the whole angle now, and it's awful. From how I'd seen it recapped, I thought the bite happened while Becky was in a hold, not just Shayna randomly, awkwardly lunging over her. Edited February 12, 2020 by BomberPat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way it's any better or worse with follow up. Honestly, that black and white photo of Shayna is a far better outcome than that angle deserved.

Ricc1PW Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I was irrationally annoyed by the Becky Lynch angle... I can *just about* get on board with her commandeering the ambulance and taking herself to hospital, but there's just no way at all she'd go into hospital, get treated, then leave and get back in the SAME AMBULANCE and drive back to the arena.

If illogical commandeering of vehicles upsets you, it's a good thing you weren't a fan in the attitude era. You'd have hated it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's not going to take a second ambulance, she's not a thief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was absolutely no logic to any of it. I mean, she wouldn't even get to a hospital, been seen, have a dressing put on and return to the arena in an hour. Jesus, just be grateful this Raw wasn't in the UK. If she'd have gone to a local NHS hospital she would have been back for NXT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yakashi Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 It’s weird how we all just loved and accepted it when Steve was doing this stuff. But now it’s not logical. Like, it sounds ridiculous as people have said. But back then it was great and no one cared that Steve would somehow magic up all these random modes of transport to get to and from the arena for various heel/local law enforcement/local medical facility reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Well that was twenty years ago, and you have to consider context - they could get away with more back then, because we weren’t watching the wrestling just to find things to moan about online.

Liam O'Rourke Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 It was also the first time, and Steve had the charisma of a hundred men to make it seem halfway plausible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
