Ronda Rousey is getting better in WWE

Ronda was making sporadic appearances in the WWE since as far back as 2014 when she was still active in UFC, but she didn't become a permanent fixture in the sports-entertainment world until 2018. Now I don't know if that was because she needed to be trained to do professional wrestling or not, but presumably someone who has worked in a sport where you are supposed to hurt your opponent into one where you need to definitely not do that, might be a difficult transition.

I feel as though when she first joined that she was pretty crap.

She seemed to have a great deal of difficulty staying in character and really struggled on the microphone. She would go between the glee of having people cheer for her and then return to what I considered to be a kind of excessively smoldering look that had really no variety to it.

Her in-ring moves consisted of grappling and throwing some light body shots in, a clothesline here and there, until eventually putting her opponents into what is obviously a fake arm bar that everyone taps from.

Her microphone skills have indeed improved over the past 2 years, but I don't know if that is really saying a lot since he had almost none when she first appeared on the scene. They didn't even give her many lines... more often simply having her play a scowling silent role.

That being said, she now has a decent arsenal of moves unique to her character and she, for the most part, executes them well. I don't know if the opinions of her coworkers can be trusted because she is a massive draw for the WWE, but so far, the other women have not complained. I would imagine that she can't really be as good as the people that have been doing this for a decade and probably relies upon her ring-mates to carry the matches for her in many situations.

Her microphone skills have gotten better as she seems to have acclimated to the business and manages to stop breaking kaye fabe in her promos and interactions in the ring.

That's a pretty decent mashup of how she has improved over the past 18 months or so and it is a bit funny at the start because the commentary is in Spanish for some reason. She still has a long way to go on the microphone, but she there is no denying that her in-ring skills have definitely improved.

There seems to be a real drought of male performers in the WWE right now, so for me, I actually look forward to the women's section a bit more than the men's. Now all we gotta do is get this virus thing under control.
