Am I the only one that thought that whole 'biting' thing was really corny and obviously used fake blood?
I thought it looked very cheesy. It didn't look 'real' in any way to me.
Plus, hasn't Baszler been booked strong enough to just look like a bad arse after beating becky down? Did she really need to go all vampire on her?
Honestly, I could totally see Vince saying something like: "She looks like a vampire to me. Let's give her a vampire type gimmick! Genius! It's totally original and has never been done before!!!"
Meanwhile, Edge is just brooding in the corner, shaking his head.
Oh, it was stupid. The amount and quality of the fake blood was ridiculous, and like you said, completely unnecessary to introduce Shayna (who was just established as a super tough killer while dealing with Becky and Bayley during Survivor Series).
Then there were the awful script decisions to have Becky steal an ambulance to drive herself to a “local medical facility” (weren’t the EMT’s she assaulted and robbed going to take her to the same place?), get treatment (she admitted in that 2nd promo that she was on some pretty good pain killers), and then drive herself back, all in 2 hours.
Having your super well-liked champ admit to speeding through traffic while on drugs is...a choice, I guess.
Why even have her come back the same night? She could have given that exact same promo next week and it would have actually made even more sense.
The way they portrayed her doing all of that in such a short time period was wildly absurd. And while the bite thing was stupid and unnecessary, you could have at least let it stand as shocking and impactful. Having Becky come back and cut a promo the same night made it look like a minor inconvenience, not some vicious, bloody attack.
