Re: Ronda Rousey...
Hard to say what to make of the Rousey signing. The main thing she's signed for is so WWE can say she's on the roster during the upcoming negotiations with whichever networks will be bidding for broadcasting rights. I agree with Trent on them using her more like they use Lesnar but I think I agree with Doc as far as some of the luster is off her star power due to the way her UFC career came to a halt. Another thing is I just don't see the intimidation factor in her like you would see in Lesnar. But that may just be me. Of course a lot of it will depend on how she is booked and presented and as with everyone in WWE these days, how the fans react to her. I could see the fans turning on her big time if forced upon them and against the wrong opponent. I think the Bazler route would be smart but can she pull it off the same way Bazler has done? Once again it goes back to whether or not Rousey can be as scary as Bazler. I just don't know.
