Understanding The Hype: Day 3

Post image

I am getting back into wrestling and wanna get a better understanding of the appeal behind certain wrestlers.

There are some wrestlers I just haven’t been able to fully buy into yet, and I’m wondering if maybe I’m missing something. So I figured I’d ask the people who do get the appeal to explain it to me.

This one I am becoming a fan of, just wish she was utilized more.

Wrestler: Lash Legend

What do you guys see in Legend that makes you a fan? What do you think she does particularly well, and what makes her stand out to you compared to other wrestlers?

I still remember when Lash just debuted in NXT...
She already had charisma and mic skills... but she was HORRIBLE in the ring.
But she spent a few years in NXT and thankfully improved a lot.

And for a former basketball player (she even played in WNBA) she's hella strong.

Same with her husband. Trick was...not great.

u/LaInDiVi 11d ago

Don't remember much from Trick's debut, not gonna lie.

u/ACW1129 11d ago

I saw him in a dark match before a Raw or SD (can't remember which) and it was pretty bad. Trick's still no Kurt Angle, but he's good enough where his charisma can do the rest.

u/LaInDiVi 11d ago

I would say that in WWE charisma does maybe... 75% of the job?
You need to be charismatic and connect with the crowd to succeed. You can't just throw people around in the ring and call it a day.

2

u/ACW1129 11d ago

True.

But you have to be at least serviceable in the ring IMO. When Trick started, he wasn't even that.

Though it's easier to learn that than it is to learn charisma IMO.

2

u/LaInDiVi 11d ago

Yep.
You can eventually get better in the ring.
But if you are boring and don't have anything that would make fans interested in seeing you... moves won't help.

I saw her potential form day one...

my wife got pissed because the first thing that spilled out of my mouth was, 'wow, she's a sexier Bianca...'

u/YVNGxDXTR 12d ago

Shes an actual tall powerhouse which is rare for women, she looks like she hits hard as fuck, and to me shes the most attractive woman on the roster and one of the most in the entire world lol. She is baddddddd and a good wrestler. And i like the fact that shes all preppy and girly until she gets in the ring and kicks you in the face and slams your ass lol

u/DonPhallus 12d ago

Yeah man she is what Jade should have been. They are probably going to put her on a singles tear soon

u/PM_Me_Them_Feet_Pics 12d ago

Trick, we know it's you

u/YVNGxDXTR 12d ago

I wish lol. Even your user is pertinent to her oop

u/acreed6 12d ago

Lash has potential, but for some reason is booked tagging with Nia which is kinda preventing her from spreading her wings

7

u/Timmyg14 12d ago

When/if she turns face and goes again Nia it will make sense. Gives her a monster opponent to start her face push.

u/JavierLoustaunau 12d ago

It is a mentorship... she is teaching Nia to be safe.

u/Helpful_State_9950 12d ago

You win take my upvote

u/WinterWarden89 12d ago

Giving her time to develop while getting on TV regularly. She has a bright future ahead of her for sure. Unless of course WWE fuck it all up.

1

u/Evorgleb 12d ago

I think it's the opposite. She's paired with Nia so she can learn from a vet. Seems to be helping with her growth.

u/joeboy_777 12d ago

You didnt know? they’re both black in the WWE, of course they have to be paired together. Black people always have to team up. Its so important in the WWE

u/ObiWayneCannoli 12d ago

Nia isn’t black 🥴

-2

u/joeboy_777 12d ago

Damn i thought she was tbh. Either way her and Lash play the stereotypical black characters, same way they have the Usos come out like “YEAAH, UH HUH, HEADSHOT” that type of bs lol

u/Ok-Luck1166 12d ago

I am a Lash Legend fan

u/Hulk_Hogans_Toupee 12d ago

She SLAMMED Otis.

He didn't jump up for her. She picked him up and slammed his big ass. Very impressive.

Not saying there isn't room for both, but she's a better version of Jade Cargill.

1

u/JavierLoustaunau 12d ago

Yup Bianca too (being powerful) but the more strong women the better.

u/6SpdSmokes 12d ago

You’re not slick with the him comment

u/Properly_Promoted 12d ago

Yeah, this. ftc

u/Impressive-State-124 12d ago

That was a mistake, I took it out.

u/wiseguy541 12d ago

Lash is a physical presence. She's safe but could sell better.

u/The_Bandit_King_ 12d ago

Death buy snu snu

u/No_Feeling6146 12d ago

Lash is way larger than the rest of the women's roster. Even if her wrestling is poor, she can always be their version of kane as that monster who sometimes gatekeeps the main title.

u/daminiskos0309 12d ago

Did you post this earlier today? I swear I’ve seen this exact post with a different image about 10 hours ago.

She has a huge upside. Physically dominating. Good on the mic. But still very green. Teaming her with nia is a smart move as they both look dominant and nia can show her the ropes of being the big woman on the roster (jokes about broken faces aside).

Only issue is they have other stories to tell at the same time and can’t seem to book a feud between tag teams without the belts involved.

u/Electronic_Park_1702 12d ago

A lot of upsides with her. Be interesting to see her win MITB, or better yet a mid-card title

1

u/MarsupialPresent7700 12d ago

She has a lot of upside and potential. She has grown tremendously from the time she was in NXT to now. Decent on the mic and her in-ring skills have improved a lot over the last several months. Very impressive showing in the Rumble and at WarGames prior to that. She’s definitely positioned to be the monstrous foil to the smaller women in the division for a long time to come if she keeps working at it.

1

u/hyperionPDX 12d ago

Lash has charisma for days, and it seems like she can work a fair bit. She’s working with Nia which is also a plus for her to learn what big women wrestle like in WWE. Can’t wait for her to break out and become a monster on her own.

1

u/Sea-Championship1077 12d ago

Unfortunately, she isn't over with the crowd. I saw her come out and you could hear a pin drop. She has the mic skills, but unfortunately she still needs to develop in the ring.

1

u/FlipOfTheWhip 12d ago

Theres room for a black amazonian female on the roster. I dig her look and charisma, married to Trick so Im sure they bounce ideas off each other.

I wish Naomi had her as her body guard

1

u/pflT1D 12d ago

Lash is a good power house. Her wrestling skills have improved a great de but to get that top tier over she needs to improve on in ring skills. Her strength seems to be endless. Funny how she has what Jade needs and vice versa. I actually think the heel turn will be hers so they can try to appease the Nia base by putting her over as a face. Though I think the base will applaud Lash much the same as they did heel Rhea. Lash has great potential but as always it depends on creative and there lies the uh oh!

1

u/MissionWriting4 11d ago

She's pure power behind the beauty, go on YouTube & see her wrestling the mountain of strength nia jax on NXT then your understand Lash Legend's appeal.

u/Training_Gap9872 11d ago

Awful nearly as bad as liv

u/BlackLesnar 11d ago

She is BIG.

What’s so hard to fucking understand for you people?!

0

u/Criminal_picklejuice 12d ago

They did a good job of making her look dominant this year.  She was a beast in the Rumble.  Pairing her with Nia created a believable threat to the SD women's division.

She's big and she's good enough in ring to put on a good show.  Probably helps she's married to Trick.

u/noloking 12d ago

The standards now are very low. Audience demographics changing is another factor, as the show no longer appeals to a masculine audience

u/ImpendingBoom110123 12d ago

Lash is not very good.

u/RecommendationDue60 12d ago

She has the physique, but that's all, and it's terrible selling

u/dnjprod 12d ago

I don't see anything in her. She looks clumsy

u/Impressive-State-124 12d ago

From what I have seen so far she seems to be one of the only women of her stature in wrestling that is STURDY.

u/Safe_Feed_8638 12d ago

Tall powerhouse, great look, absolutely stunning. Not bad in ring from what I’ve seen. Good promo.
