Spill your tea/thoughts on Mercedes lol
OkayâŠ
I believe everything about her character is so fabricated and superficial, and thatâs why itâs so difficult connecting with her for people who are not hardcore fans or werenât that familiar with her work in WWE. The catchphrases feel so forced, both the âmoney changes everythingâ, âthatâs the price you pay when you mess with MonĂ©â, the nickname itself, and the song, even Britt pointed out the pipped âCEOâ chants. Everything about her itâs beautiful and interesting visually, with the amazing hair and the always spectacular outfits, the unbelievable gears, the coats⊠she looks like a star and we cannot say other wise. But my problem is that, okay, she looks great⊠and what else? Thereâs no dept, thereâs nothing to emotionally connect with her or to be involved emotionally with her character. And I know she is a heel (now) and I should boo her, but besides her cocky attitude, I donât even have anything to hate her for. And I donât even blame the booking for that, because she has had a lot of screen time, she has had promo time and some matches, but, she still says the same on the promos, about how much money she has, about how amazing she is⊠but thereâs literally nothing else. Thereâs nothing organic about the character. Itâs like, MJF, dude was exactly that at first, just a cocky, arrogant asshole with a lot of money, but his vendettas against everyone were personal, he explained why he turned on Cody, why he had to create The Pinnacle, I donât even have to mention the reasoning behind his hatred for Punk, and even now, the man has a deep reason of why he turned on Daniel and went back to being the worst person ever. Not to mention the unbelievable story Hangman has been telling. Or Mariah! And we havenât even heard her reasoning, but I just know sheâll take that mic and say âI was just using Toniâ, âI have always been star but I was overshadowed by herâ or something else.
My point here is that, she is the âCEOâ, she has a lot of money and she is one of the best ever⊠but why should I hate her now she is a heel? Or why should I support her as a face? And obviously Iâve been a fan since NXT and I know her career, but for those who donât, who is Mercedes? Whatâs her motivation behind âbeing the bestâ? I would just love her cutting one promo with an evil speech of why she wants to erase Britt from the map (now thatâs the feud), why she will elevate the TBS Championship, why she hates the fans, why Britt represents what she hates about wrestling or whatever⊠just something deep that make us feel something organic. Or I want a reason to actually chant âCEOâ to her, more than the pipped chants in her song.
Mercedes as Sasha has and will always be one of my faves ever, but these are just my opinions towards her current character work.
