MATCH RATING VOTING HERE

[Belle]

okay so let’s talk about the first match bcs like… emotions. valkyrie vs. perl hell in a cell, and honestly they did their thing. like these two have been beefing for months, and valkyrie has been losing every single time. i was so nervous for her 😭

but omg this match??? valkyrie walked in vag firrrrsstt. like, she wasn’t just there to fight. she was there to END it. the cell was such a vibe, all dramatique. perl was there too. i actually like her from a heel standpoint tho i think its just her annoying skinny boy body that kinda pmo lmaooooooo 😭😭 

the outfits….wellllll. perl still needs to figure out what the hell she’s wearing bcs none of the things she wears are very flattering to her tbh. sister needs to put in the work in the fit department.
now valk……. i’m afraid not a single gear u wear now will ever top ur hard target gear. that was so gorgeeeeeeeeee !!  do more like that gear i’ll be gagging over it !!! 

not really a fan of extreme matches tho this one..it was giving chaos but like… the kind u can’t look away from. there was one moment where perl did the headscissors from the top of the cell into falling to the ring LOL oopsiee, and valk going down from the top with a jump too okayyyy miss batgirl !

the finish was sooo satisfying. valk finaaally won something, it was such a moment. she finally got her redemption after all this time, and it was just... IT. 💗💗
ngl i really thought it was over for the good sister when she lost to bash..... sis didn’t deserve to lose to some white obese man. hard to watch!!!
but at last she rose above it !  so so proud of her. what a queen. 🦋
 

the marisa vs skadi match was, like… layers upon layers of storytelling wrapped in chaos, and it had me feeling things from start to finish  their clash wasn’t just physical, it was a whole debate in a ring, and i’m here for the layers, even if the story felt low-key messy at times.
the match itself? didn't expect it to be that much one sided where skadi is almost afking n marisa just doing all kinds of moves and taunting the whole match. lackluster for me. the match did not live up to the story i fear.

now, let’s talk about the message here because… eek. i’m not even sure if i should even try explaining my nuanced views on this story, but whateverrr.
both sides in this story are so very wrong. i don’t find any of the perspectives presented here to be cute, sassy, empowering, or otherwise defensible. and since i’m not a man, they’re not titillating either, just tedious n irritating. skadi’s whole beauty doesn’t matter stance has validity, society’s obsession with looks is suffocating - but here’s the thing: women like marisa, who love their makeup, outfits n showing off their bodies, aren’t the enemy. this shouldn’t be about making women feel bad for how they present themselves—it’s about choice.

that said, skadi’s point of view felt like yet another instance of how, time and time again, jealous, hateful, ugly women disguise their envy behind academia, intellectualism or philosophy. feels like an attempt to justify bitterness, but honestly, it’s just complete bs. however, marisa’s response, relying on the classic misogynistic u’re just so jealous of me trope, isn’t any better since it's used particularly to silence women when they have a valid concern with another woman’s behavior. what makes this trope even weaker here is that marisa isn’t even the epitome of the so-called beauty standard. there are several other women  who outshine her n objectively look better. that makes her claim of being envied lose a lot of its power, it’s hard to even say, sad but true ! bcs it’s not.
 

i also don’t get the obsession with connecting hyper-femininity or taking care of ur appearance to something shameful. i didn't like her speech criticizing women who embrace femininity and fashion as a mask, suggesting that we are somewhat compromising our feminist principles for personal gain or societal expectations. 

it’s also worth pointing out how both characters, in their flawed perspectives, leave a lot of destruction in their wake for goals that feel small-minded n unambitious, like being personally adored and admired by all. sure, it’s obviously preferable to be seen as pretty vs ugly, but if that’s ur entire core construct, u’re kind of a moral loser.

i really shouldn’t overthink this bcs it’s pretty clear this was written by people that have never personally experienced the issues they’re trying to tackle in this story but i guess from an outside point of view and not looked through a gynocentric lens this is a very entertaining story lol content is content after all as they say.
ps. save the fake deep weaponization of social justice terminology…
 

from the bash/jordan segment i only have to say; the bobbi mouth line so fucking disgusting. stop it forever. i’m literally begging. NO more. 
 

junko vs dragana. how refreshing is to see junko wearing something different than a recolor!! really pretty gear junkoooo. keep them coming ! 🖤

oh god..i still have no idea why steven is purple-ish. giving rotten pork skin jjsjsajsjahaj i literally cannottt with that character
 

i don’t really know what to say about the bertha emp thing, very predictable, bertha played as if a toddler was on the sticks. i thought it was kinda ironic that this was promoted as ‘’her biggest challenge’’ buuuut slay. this felt like loading into a quick play match not gameplay wise but where ur opponent’s caw looks like a whole ass mess sooo unserious.
 

the dns vs team b17 hype package is my favvvvvv of the night. i rlly rlly liked the graphics n the introduction of the members soooo cool !!
and the match well, dns cleaning the house hard.

mad dawg and marisa... their relationship it’s just soo unglamorous and so doused in co-dependent addictions. like they both need rehab asap.
also please silence mad dawg. i feel no sympathy for a man who would willingly put himself in that position. a man see one biscuit head ass good looking woman n think they gotta smash. he asked for it.
marisa going home with a dry coochie. u think you need a boyfriend but u really just need to workout and eat an avocado. drink some green tea my sista, it will be alright.

main event time. i was so disheartened to see john lose 😞 i really wanted him to win but it is what it is. star of the match, spot of the night. 

the match was very entertaining to watch really good. they both did great, and the chemistry was unmatched. every move felt personal, and u could tell how much it meant to both of them. parca's gear was so beautiful gjgj
i love me a second string loser !! being champ is suuuper overrated anyway !!!!!! 

 

and please let’s stop making fun of the way people , especially women, talk 😘 xx
