THE ONE


RONDA ROUSEY

Back in the 1980's Hulk Hogan was "The One." In the late 1990's Stone Cold Steve Austin was "The One". In 2001 The Rock became "The One" and his career has gone where no other wrestler's career has ever been. All these men have some things in common: charisma and believability.

In MMA right now Ronda Rousey is "The One". No one else has her skills or charisma. She beat her last two opponents in under 30 seconds. Her career is taking off with mainstream roles in movies like, "Fast and Furious 7".


In WWE Brock Lesnar is "The One," not just because he beat the Undertaker but because fans believe in him due to his background in amateur wrestling and MMA. He also has a magnetic personality.

WWE needs to decide who they want to be "The One" in women's wrestling. They need someone who is believable and has a skillset that is unique. Natalya Neidhart could fit that description. She has the family legacy and the skillset. WWE doesn't seem to trust her in the title picture. They want someone who looks more like a model like Nikki Bella.

TNA wrestling had someone who could have been "The One" in Awesome Kong back in 2007. She had the look and the skillset that fans were attracted to. TNA misused Kong and she left the company. She's returned now but hasn't gotten the same momentum of her first appearances.

I hope WWE is serious about it's women's division, it could be one of the best parts of WWE programming if handled correctly.
