The Ugly - Dance Breaks

Please, someone make it all stop. Women's wrestling has come too far and there hav been too many roads paved in blood, sweat, and tears for this kind of buffoonery to go on any longer. Please stop the dancing or at least don't dance until after you've perfected the art of wrestling.

Carmella's previous heel character was understandable and despite not being well liked by fans and seen by some as obnoxious, at least she found her own niche. She deserves credit for the progress. Her new dance character is likely going to do for her WWE run what clumsy Emma did for Tenille Dashwood's, as she dances her way into becoming the female version of a Bushwacker. Kids loved The Bushwackers, but they weren't exactly known for their winning ways.

The Evolution battle royal was spectacular; but, it had one unfortunate blemish. The match essentially stopped for Carmella and 56-year-old WWE Hall of Famer Ivory to have a dance break. It was as terrible as it was awkward and brought back memories of women being reduced to mere dancers, rather than the wrestlers they have fought so hard to be recognized as.

In a show that aimed to recognize females for their in-ring accomplishments and for their athletic prowess, we could have all done without the silliness and we certainly didn't need to tarnish a well respected WWE Hall of Famer in the process. Do you know what I would have rather seen Ivory done? Throw other women over the top rope and Carmella would have been an ideal start.
