5 strategic steps for Simone Johnson in her WWE career

#2 Remember Rocky Maivia?

Rocky Maivia was an athletic character who lacked good promo skills

As we’d discussed earlier, Simone Johnson is a great athlete, and so is her father Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. However, The Rock needed much more than elite athleticism to truly break through as a megastar in this industry; to go from a generic character like Rocky Maivia to the electrifying Brahma Bull.

I truly believe that it’d be safe to say this is the most important aspect of her career that Simone Johnson must focus on, particularly in the rookie years when a performer is still finding his/her rhythm. To put it bluntly, no matter how good of an in-ring performer Johnson may be, the audience may not be drawn to her unless she manages to be entertaining.

Johnson has to work towards building her promo skills, which in turn would decrease the probability of her being overwhelmed by the unpredictable reactions (cheers, boos, etc.) from the live audience.

Most fans may remember Charlotte Flair struggling with her mic work in the early stages of her career. If Johnson is to avoid the same problems, she’d be better off devoting a considerable amount of time and effort toward the evolution of her skills in the promo department.
