Not to do a slew of negative editorials in a row as that is not what I feel makes a writer sound smart. But, I do want to get this thought out while it is fresh.

If I am in a match with you and say you suck, you can't wrestle, and you're a piece of garbage... Then I beat you... What did I accomplish? I beat a piece of garbage? Great. That does not advance me at all.

Wrestlers have failed to do the build up process along with their insults. It is all negative. And, some of it is too much to come back from.

For example, Alexa Bliss calling Mickie James old. I hate that. Here's why.

Mickie James IS 38. She is older than most of the other active female wrestlers in WWE. She is not going to get younger. So, now that "old" stink is on her just like it was put on the Legion of Doom in WWE when the New Age Outlaws called them old. Now, each 15 years the senior of the age LOD was at that time, BG James and Billy Gunn are still active in various ways. Funny, no one chanted "old" at them. Maybe they should now. See how it feels.

Had Alexa Bliss insulted Mickie's music... Even called her hefty, which she's not but hey it is an insult right? That stuff is different. Musical perspective determines if you like Mickie's music or not and calling her fat is childish. Even if Mickie were fat, she could still lose weight. She cannot get younger.

Bottom line?

If you are a wrestler, remember that no one ever called Hollywood Hogan a bald old man when they feuded with him. And, they made lots and lots of money. That was no accident.
