It started long before that. Her coaching season of TUF was a very unflattering self portrait of jealousy. Tate is beautiful, Ronda is not...and you could feel the spite. If you watched it, you came away despising her. Holm's knockout was the second greatest live sporting event of my life, right behind James Harrison's pick6 in the Superbowl.
Ronda was surrounded by people who were either delusional or sycophants, and they just massaged her ego while holding their hand out for a pay cheque. Real warriors have people who will point out their weaknesses and work to eliminate them, but Ronda Rousey was, is, and always will be a hype job! She believed her own publicity and nearly got her head kicked off her shoulders by Holly Holm, before Amanda Nunes annihilated her and damaged her already fragile ego. Boo hoo! She had it coming.
Conrad making excuses and saying it wasn’t her fault is laughable. It’s up to performers to want it enough to get over. Rock and Austin had been cry babies and quit they never would have made it to becoming stone cold and the great one.
Eric: "I think Ronda did it just for the money." Conrad: "I don't think she needed the money!" No one said she needed the money, dude. That's not what Eric said, pay attention. Conrad is ANNOYING.
Yeah, I quit listening to any podcast with conrad along time ago because he's a stupid mark who's opinion nobody cares about and I stopped listening to mark podcasts in general not just his. I'm only here for Eric but that gets harder and harder every time I hear conrad meltzers voice lmao 💯
Rhonda claiming she got a concussion from Steph slapping her kind of says it all. I don't think Rhonda's ego works with pro wrestling, it's like Bischoff said she's kind of whiney and that's like a personality thing. She can be right about Vince, John, and Bruce while still being entitled and narcissistic.
She always said it's fake, yet she claims she got concussed. But Steph does pack a heavy hand. That just says how weak she really is. And now try to get money crying about shit she wasn't in the company when it happened.
She may of got a concussion from the slap but I kind of wonder if maybe she was more prone to getting concussed, because of past concussions in ufc, I don’t know, just wondered
She disrespected Mrs Elizabeth, Sherri Martel, Baby Doll and Nancy Benoit because they were valets. I would argue women valets was just as important as women wrestlers are. This is what happens when u let mental cases like Ronda into the wrestling business
Ronda was insufferable in the WWE and I cheered like crazy when Holly and Amanda Nunes beat the piss out of her. She is not WWE HOF material. Glad she is gone and shouldn't be welcomed back.
She was always a big fish in a small pond with Women's UFC. Then they started getting actual competition in that division and she couldn't keep up and cried about it.
I agree with Eric. Ronda was miscast at first which is what we all saw, but she just did not seem passionate about wrestling. She definitely gave off the whiny kid vibe to me. I disagree with Conrad SHE IS NOT WWE HOF MATERIAL!! She did not give enough to be even considered. You do not give that honor to someone who was in the business for such a short time unless she did a PHENOMENAL job. She did great as a heel, but needed more time for me to see ehr as WWE HOF material.
I totally agree. She only joined the pro wrestling industry after getting humiliated and basically driven out of UFC, and knew she needed to capitalize on what image she had left at that point. She was athletic enough to have a career as a circus attraction at first, but then her lack of substance ended anyone's desire to see her ever again.
Eric Bischoff is not wrong. In fact he hit the nail on the head. Ronda did not want to be there and all she did was bitch about the travel schedule. She did not like Bruce Prichard because he told her that the was terrible and didn't deserve to be in any wrestling ring and that she could not work. They stuck her in tag matches to get what they could out of her. Fans that met her called her "Ronda Lousey" and said that they regretted meeting her. Conrad you are an easy mark.
Ronda was literally a mark in the UFC lol. Great talent, but her last 2 fights she got smashed by better more athletic opponents. She showed her mental Weakness after her loss by saying she considered suicide. She is without a doubt bitter when things don’t go her way
She was not a mark. Tony Kahn is a mark, just so we are clear I know what mark means. Rousey was fed weak opponents by Dana White. Either White set up Rousey or he dropped the ball with her last fight because if you look at Holmes mma record, it looks like all the other ladies that Rousey fought but when you look at her full fighting history, Holmes was never a typical Rousey opponent.
It's sad how delusional Conrad is. There is something wrong with his brain between being nose deep in AEW to constantly talking about being the voice of the fans. He does not speak for anyone but himself.
Conrad is annoying with the constant AEW Stan talking points. At what point does AEW become a detriment to the industry? I think it’s already happening.
@Tim82ATW If only he would!!! The only way to do that though, would be to remove himself from Conrad's platform and to find a new co-host with his own platform as Eric is traveling so much now, that his time us super limited. I honestly believe that Eric only stays because it is convenient, even though he would do better without Conrad.
lol love how Eric dropped that bucket of Reality on Conrad, she never liked wrestling outside of people giving her the attention she craved after getting KO'd in UFC, when people turned on her she started to moan and complain all day about the fans and how terrible they were and for a person who hates Vince guts she took the money and the spot Vince chose specifically for her to be the face of the women's division for a time, despite being absolutely talentless as a performer like Eric said. This is only because she made a book and needs to sell it nothing more nothing less.
He’s saying she’s a fan, or was a fan, like all of us were. Ofc everybody loves money and sometimes only care about, but I doubt money was the only factor of her joining WWE in the first place.
Conrad is another AEW shill, most likely paid under the table to continually put over AEW. He has become more and more annoying as time has passed. On the plus side, 83 Weeks has been a positive promotion of Eric’s overall intelligence and common sense approach to most issues (except when Hogan is involved lol)
Rhonda wasn't good at MMA, she knew one move and got lucky with no one knowing how to defend against it. The second someone used her medicine against her she cried, and called them a bully. She went to the WWE with her fake tough-girl face, and proved she had never been able to throw a punch real or fake. The second the fans saw through it she cried and called them bullies. She destroyed one of Mortal Kombat's most iconic characters with a face and voice that was so bad they had to create a DLC that replaced it, and now she wants to talk about how evil the WWE is. In other words: There is nothing to see here, move along.
@@Stormhart92partially true, but not completely. They added in some skins based off the first MK1 movie, one skin with Sonya and they got Bridgette Wilson to do the voice for that skin. Which they got the actors from the movie for the other skins too. Though for Sonya it was a figurative must buy, as Rousey ruined that character.
Ronda is like an angry ex-girlfriend. When she was in the relationship, she supported and did everything that she could to cheer the guy on but as soon as they broke up, she is like: "You know what? Everything what you did and what I supported: I thought was stupid and not worth my time"
She was fine with Vince, Johnny Ace and Bruce Pritchard when she signed her multi-millions contract with WWE. The second she stops wrestling and wants to sell a book all of a sudden 'WWE was a mess, nobody there was professional, everyone was a closet sex fiend' but the money was juuuuuuuust right enough to not care while she was a part of it. Disingenuous AF
The most infuriating part about all of this is that she was the most mediocre woman ever involved with wrestling and was paid MILLLLLIONS of dollars to be that. She literally bypassed NXT and any formal training due to professional nepotism. The Vince McMahon ideology of overvaluing celebrities is what did that for her. There are women who get matches cut,train for years,look a million times better and still wont ever see the stage she saw. If she could actually talk or wrestle or do anything remotely entertaining,i’d understand but she cant and she shits on the business in the process.
Ronda Lousey Drowsy is a complete liar and sore loser cry baby baby borderline narcissist she did not have any concussions during those fights if she did she would have got knocked out lights out sooner the only thing that got concussed was her ego. And why is she saying now conveniently right as she is on book tour to make money and gain sympathy .
@@jermainewright2556 She is a mark for herself, because she's trying to capitalize off the allegations being made against Vince for the sake of selling her book. She didn't have any problems whatsoever taking the money when it benefited her. And now that the gravy train dried up, she suddenly wants ppl to believe that she's a crusader for women's rights. She's the Omarosa of wrestling.
She’s a mark and another example of a woman who bounces back and forth between empowered and victim depending on which role suits her best at the time.

Looking at Rousey, it makes me think of George Foreman. In the 70s, he was a hard punching, scary dude that most thought was unbeatable, until he faced Ali, and lost. It messed with Foreman in his head, and would lead to him taking a sabbatical from boxing. After a while away, and finding himself, he came back a happier person, more focused, and 20 years after losing to Ali, would regain the world title. For Rousey, it's probably eating at her that she wasn't unstoppable in the octagon, and at some point, she'll need to get back in UFC, and prove she can still win a fight. I can't remember who said it, but i remember a person saying that in boxing (so likewise, other combat sports), the test of a fighter isn't them never losing, but how the rebound after they lose.
Ronda is a slime ball herself. Anything she says take with a grain of salt. She was bad for MMA she was bad for wrestling/WWE. When Ronda doesnt get her own way since she surrounds herself with Yes people. The Holly Holm and Amanda Knockout was brilliant I couldn't stop laughing at the Khama catching up with her
Rhonda has that thing about her that makes her impossible to like. When you see her on for example the Kurt Angle or Roddy Piper documentary you get the sense everything she is saying is dishonest, disingenuine, and that she has nothing but disdain for wrestling fans and a high degree of entitlement.
Logan Paul gives more fucks about the business than Ronda… and the fans can tell. Sorry if Logan has made it there is clearly something missing from Rondas end.
@@RJ_MacReady What you obviously fail to understand is that they recognize the power of social media, and they're harnessing that power to make the brand bigger and more recognizable than it already is. That is sound business strategy. It's why they're leagues above every other promotion on the planet. They understand the importance of promoting the product, and using every available means to do so.
Enjoying listening to Bischoff's podcast a lot these days. The guy really speaks how he actually feels and I respect that a lot. And the stuff he says is true too! At least I agree with it anyway. Can't really say the same for Conrad ...
Mark Conrad's words so when Rhonda never again appears in WWE and is never inducted in the HOF, it can be thrown in his face. Rhonda disrespected a lot of great female talent that contributed to the success of WWF back in the day because she doesn't get the business and doesn't care. Trashing someone like Elizabeth or Sherri is ridiculous. Conrad sticking up for her is like him sticking up for AEW. It's laughable
When Rhonda first appeared, she was dominant in MMA, when she got her ass handed to her, not once, but twice. Her ego wasn't bruised, it was obliterated. She needed WWE more then WWE needed her. When her run didn't turn out as planned the first time, she disappeared and became a Mother ( no knock on that ) when she finally came back that second time, again like Eric said, she was miscast. When they finally turned her it suited her better, just like at the end of that first run, but just like the end of the first, no one cared. She wasn't "over" wasn't gonna get over. Her invincible persona was gone with those two MMA ass whippings. She is a bitter person. No way around it. The mystique was obliterated.
Best thing about Rouseys WWE career is that it made me appreciate Shayna Baszler more as a performer and a worker, she tried - the company tried but they just couldn't make Rousey into a better Shayna, or even get Rousey on the same level as a performer or entertainer.

Rhonda is UNPLEASEABLE!! Wants to be heel when face. Wants to be face when heel. Either she's the star, over everyone's evil!! WHY would she want A DIME from "evil Vince'
When people say she did it for the paycheck they don't necessarily mean someone is broke. The WWE more than likely offered her enough money to make it worth her while. Being a fan and being a wrestler are not the same thing. Just like CM Punk found out, being a fan of martial arts, BJJ, MMA, doesn't mean you're also a fighter because you trained for a little bit here and there.
Whether it’s UFC or WWE, it seem like Ronda loved the sport as long as the sport loved her. Once she fell out of favor, she suddenly hates it. Beneath that bitterness, she’s probably deeply hurt.
Ronda's entire personality changed when she met her husband. She talks smack about the men in the WWE but her husband was married and cheating on his wife, who he had a domestic violence case against him.
She had the tools and was put in a position to succeed, with a limited schedule and main event money. I lost faith in her when the first interview she did she said it was fake. But still Steph slapped her into concussionville. Plain and simple she couldn't cut it.
Eric's right about Ronda being different after her loss to Holly Holm. I recall her talking about being depressed and kinda not knowing how to come back from a loss
My theory is he makes his money out of wrestlers so he doesn't want to be critical of anyone. If he can get them on Starrcast or one of his shows he'll stay on their good side.
I like Ronda, but she full of BS. She didn't even deal with Vince, yet he still pushed her. Really, she dealt with HHH and Stephanie most of the time. She just saying this cause it's the topic of discussion and since folks hate Vince, they go with it. But then trashing valets and other talent, hell naw. She really changed when she married Travis Brown.

Def made people realize that didn’t know that Ronda is human and not some unbeatable machine. A lot of people seen it in her mannerisms/body language after the fight with holm.
Yup and that’s cause Ronda thought she was going to be retire undefeated like Floyd and have the reputation of Mike Tyson when it comes to ending fights in seconds. Holly Holmes really humbled her
Rhonda was definitely a massive wrestling fan, but that doesn't necessarily make you good at wrestling. You can be the biggest music fan in the world, but that doesn't make you a virtuoso violinist, nor does that prime you for dealing with managers, agents, contracts and all the behind the scenes stuff in the music industry. Not sure why people think that would be the case with wrestling.
Rhonda Rousey: - Debut match is a high profile match at Wrestlemania 34 featuring two veteran marquee superstars Kurt Angle and Triple H - Receives ample praise and critical acclaim for her natural in ring performance/abilities - Immediately written into a compelling feud with Alexa Bliss for the WWE Women's championship - Goes over and wins the WWE women's title at Summerslam 2018 - Goes on to Main Event Wrestlemania 35 in the first time ever where the women's division is the main event .. a MERE YEAR AFTER HER DEBUT. Also Rhonda Rousey: - "WWE didn't give me fair creative treatment ..." .... -_-
I 1000% agree with Eric Bischoff. I would also like to add when she was with WWE the first and second time. How many power slams,body slams, dropkicks, clotheslines, DDT's, backbreaker, choke holds or jumped off the top rope on to someone? Not one time. All she does is move around like a slippery snake she is nothing more then a 1 trick pony. Another thing I agree with Eric Bischoff is when she got beat by Holly Holm it took out all the competition attitude. These days at UFC she has really become the punchline for all the jokes...
I think Hunter is going to do anything he can to mend any fences he can for the foreseeable future. Sometimes its best to keep your most vocal critics happy however you can.
Nearly everyone who joins WWE gets professional training. Shayna Baszler and Sonia Devile both from UFC went down to developmental and NXT for a number of years where they were clearly re-progammed out of a professional mindset into a semi-professional entertainment style mindset and have clearly thrived at WWE because of this investment. I 100% believe that if Ronda had been given this period of training etc she would still be with WWE!😢😢😢😢😢
Not to say that the Vince stuff isn’t crazy but the fact that these guys outside of the business like Conrad and Brian from the show with Cornette have SOOOO much to say about Vince and how the WWE was ran kinda sickens me quite frankly
I love Bishoff, so many people knock him for knowing wrestling and being a used car salesman. To me Eric Bishoff is regular decent buss. Man who joined wrestling and did his best to be far and reasonable. I could listen to Eric Bishoff all day!
Ronda Lousey Drowsy is a complete liar and sore loser cry baby baby borderline narcissist she did not have any concussions during those fights if she did she would have got knocked out lights out sooner the only thing that got concussed was her ego.

watching Ronda write and say the things she's been doing about WWE makes me so happy. i love her as a person and hope she continues to help tear the place down.
when she was dominant in UFC people were hating on her. When she come out at the 2018 Royal Rumble first WWE universe were cheering for her. Then after a few months they already started hating her saying that she took the spotlight from Asukas RR win. Then everyone agrees she has one of the best debut matches at mania 34, but then when Nia Jax challanges her for her title people were hating on Ronda again syaing that she didn't deserve a title shot that fast. When she won the RAW women's title from Alexa Bliss people were cheering again. That was until Survivor Series where the WWE universe showed their true colors.
1000% agree. After Holly Holm knocked her ass out, she turned into a totally different athlete. After that KO, that was pretty much the end of Ronda Rousey.
Ronda said in an interview that she wanted to play the heel but WWE had different ideas. She didn’t believe enough preparation and attention went into her matches that were often changed last minute on the fly.
It brings me joy hearing Eric mention numerous times that Rhonda Rousey got knocked out. I still have fond memories of that night, probably the third happiest day of my life besides my children being born.

I don't think she'll be back and if they bring her back they're stupid. And to say she's going to go in the Hall of Fame is stupid she hasn't contributed anything to wrestling. MMA yes but wrestling, hell no. Now I definitely see why people dislike Conrad.
I disagree with Bischoff on a lot of things but I 100% agree with him. I felt Ronda Rousey was handed a lot of things in WWE because of who she was. Yet here she is complaining.
The one thing her WWE move made painfully clear, she was NEVER explained the difference between heels and babyfaces. She needed to be shown examples of HATED people that were relentlessly booed, winning the fans over and becoming beloved bobyfaces. It's very clear she never understand being a a heel.
She came in and thought she should get everything and be the top women there etc and she was booked like that for a while especially the first run but the fans just never really got on board with her fully. It's like they knew that the passion for doing it and wasn't there with her
I think Rhonda was pushed as a babyface cause that is what she wanted and they agreed cause they thought she would bring in a lot of cash. Rhonda was desperate to be idolized again after her losses. Being a heel fits her better but her ego just can't handle being booed at.
Honestly, I think Ronda's response to the loss to Holm was more damaging than the KO itself because of what it did to her image. "The baddest woman on the planet" would've owned it and been chomping at the bit for a rematch to reclaim her belt, not going into hiding for months only to return and have an emotional breakdown on Ellen. The opportunities in Hollywood quickly dried up soon after, and before too long, Conor McGregor had taken over as the UFC's biggest star. WWE was too little too late.
I f eel everything she said was spot on and yes she is also whiny and can't handle loss or crowd boos very well. Both can be true. I find her to be credible despite her glaring flaws.
So btw once you get a concussion it's easier to get them again which in a sport like MMA means at some point slaps can lead to concussions. This is well known and it happens in Football too which was why all the prior lawsuits mentioned it. The important thing is to he able to speak up without fear of losing your job. But hey you don't see that powe abuse right
@@The_Champ_4U it's because once you have 1 concussion it can easily trigger future ones even from a slap. This is widely known in sports and most take extra precautions and make sure they feel comfortable to report it without losing their job like Football for example. Football had many lawsuits over players getting them and it was revealed then how once you get 1 or two further episodes become easier.
You could tell Conrad is a Ronda Rousey Mark. Here’s the thing, Rhonda has always been whiny. Weather was MMA or professional wrestling. She may be right about Vince and his crew, but that doesn’t change the fact that she’s always had a chip on her shoulder about something. Plus, if this was going on, why didn’t she say something when she was there? With her name recognition, she probably would not have gotten into trouble that most cats would’ve? She’s just trying to sell books.
They crossovers can devalue and delegitimize mma. When you have something with predetermined outcomes with something legit. It puts into the mind that maybe ufc fights are rigged. Just speculation here.
To quote a wise man..."Controversy creates cash" (wasn't there a book by that title? LOL)...."Talk good about me, talk bad about me, just talk about me" syndrome
She says stuff about a "casting couch," but aren't there multiple rumors about her and Dana White smashing as a return for being the top billed female UFC fighter?
The “thrown to the wolves” argument is silly. She chose to be there, and to cash a check. If she felt under prepared, or management felt she was; maybe she should have spend some time at the development facility. Maybe she didn’t want to (wouldn’t be a surprise given her personality) Maybe management thought she was “good enough” - which, says a lot of what they think of women’s wrestling. Personally, it just looked like a cash grab to me, from her, and WWE. She shouldn’t have been in there, and certainly shouldn’t have been as stiff as she was with the talent. Missed opportunity. But WWE probably wanted to capitalize as much, and as quickly as possible - and she probably didn’t want to put in the time
Rhonda didn’t understand the product. She’s going to be in that list of people that had no business in the wrestling business, guys like The Ultimate Warrior, Vince Russo and Ryback.
Eric is 100% correct! When she got knocked out by Holly Holmes her life did a about face. She changed
She's always been a strange one

Of course Conrad would totally move past everything Eric said because "She watched the shield". Jeez, Conrad needs to go.
He’s saying she’s a fan, or was a fan, like all of us were. Ofc everybody loves money and sometimes only care about, but I doubt money was the only factor of her joining WWE in the first place.
@@Daredevil_2k16 It wasn't the only factor but it was about 99% of it.
Conrad is another AEW shill, most likely paid under the table to continually put over AEW.
He has become more and more annoying as time has passed. On the plus side, 83 Weeks has been a positive promotion of Eric’s overall intelligence and common sense approach to most issues (except when Hogan is involved lol)
He is terrible.
Well shit, she watched The Shield, that totally make her a true wrestling fan lol.
Rhonda wasn't good at MMA, she knew one move and got lucky with no one knowing how to defend against it. The second someone used her medicine against her she cried, and called them a bully. She went to the WWE with her fake tough-girl face, and proved she had never been able to throw a punch real or fake. The second the fans saw through it she cried and called them bullies. She destroyed one of Mortal Kombat's most iconic characters with a face and voice that was so bad they had to create a DLC that replaced it, and now she wants to talk about how evil the WWE is.
In other words: There is nothing to see here, move along.
Are you for real about them having to replace her voice for mortal kombat?😂
@@Stormhart92 No one in MMA knew how to defend against an armbar?
@@GlorifiedTruth 😂😂
Once the other women caught up to her it was over.
@@Stormhart92partially true, but not completely. They added in some skins based off the first MK1 movie, one skin with Sonya and they got Bridgette Wilson to do the voice for that skin. Which they got the actors from the movie for the other skins too. Though for Sonya it was a figurative must buy, as Rousey ruined that character.
Ronda is like an angry ex-girlfriend. When she was in the relationship, she supported and did everything that she could to cheer the guy on but as soon as they broke up, she is like: "You know what? Everything what you did and what I supported: I thought was stupid and not worth my time"
She was fine with Vince, Johnny Ace and Bruce Pritchard when she signed her multi-millions contract with WWE. The second she stops wrestling and wants to sell a book all of a sudden 'WWE was a mess, nobody there was professional, everyone was a closet sex fiend' but the money was juuuuuuuust right enough to not care while she was a part of it.
Disingenuous AF
The most infuriating part about all of this is that she was the most mediocre woman ever involved with wrestling and was paid MILLLLLIONS of dollars to be that. She literally bypassed NXT and any formal training due to professional nepotism. The Vince McMahon ideology of overvaluing celebrities is what did that for her. There are women who get matches cut,train for years,look a million times better and still wont ever see the stage she saw. If she could actually talk or wrestle or do anything remotely entertaining,i’d understand but she cant and she shits on the business in the process.
Ronda Lousey Drowsy is a complete liar and sore loser cry baby baby borderline narcissist she did not have any concussions during those fights if she did she would have got knocked out lights out sooner the only thing that got concussed was her ego. And why is she saying now conveniently right as she is on book tour to make money and gain sympathy .
Ronda Rousey was knocked out and chased out of the UFC the WWE gave her a huge payday and an opportunity to Rebrand herself and she should be thankful
Ronda is a mark for herself
@@jermainewright2556 She is a mark for herself, because she's trying to capitalize off the allegations being made against Vince for the sake of selling her book. She didn't have any problems whatsoever taking the money when it benefited her. And now that the gravy train dried up, she suddenly wants ppl to believe that she's a crusader for women's rights. She's the Omarosa of wrestling.
She’s a mark and another example of a woman who bounces back and forth between empowered and victim depending on which role suits her best at the time.

Conrad I think you low key work for AEW…
Low key? Talk like a human
Congratulations, you can think.
The mark of a true champion is not in their victories but in the aftermath of their defeat.
Looking at Rousey, it makes me think of George Foreman. In the 70s, he was a hard punching, scary dude that most thought was unbeatable, until he faced Ali, and lost. It messed with Foreman in his head, and would lead to him taking a sabbatical from boxing. After a while away, and finding himself, he came back a happier person, more focused, and 20 years after losing to Ali, would regain the world title.
For Rousey, it's probably eating at her that she wasn't unstoppable in the octagon, and at some point, she'll need to get back in UFC, and prove she can still win a fight.
I can't remember who said it, but i remember a person saying that in boxing (so likewise, other combat sports), the test of a fighter isn't them never losing, but how the rebound after they lose.
Conrad shaboing boinging for Ronda? Must be trying to get a new pod off the ground.
Conrad has the wackest taste in people smh..."this version of wwe" can't do nothing for Ronda
Yes he's awful
Ronda is a slime ball herself. Anything she says take with a grain of salt. She was bad for MMA she was bad for wrestling/WWE. When Ronda doesnt get her own way since she surrounds herself with Yes people.
The Holly Holm and Amanda Knockout was brilliant I couldn't stop laughing at the Khama catching up with her
If WWE was so bad why did she come back after she left the first time?
I don't get Ronda. She always lives wgere she works and then she gets to a point where she starts talking crazy.
They paid her really well thats why
Rhonda has that thing about her that makes her impossible to like. When you see her on for example the Kurt Angle or Roddy Piper documentary you get the sense everything she is saying is dishonest, disingenuine, and that she has nothing but disdain for wrestling fans and a high degree of entitlement.
Ronda
@@TL2354 I think Ronda is a made up name, maybe her parents couldnt spell or something.
Logan Paul gives more fucks about the business than Ronda… and the fans can tell. Sorry if Logan has made it there is clearly something missing from Rondas end.
Oh yeah. Logan is a great natural heel and can actually go. He's fun to watch. That's something Ronda never was.
@@senoka4638 Agreed, and it shows from all the work he’s been putting in. Fans prefer to hate him. But I do think they recognize the effort 100%
That's how you know the WWE is at a low point, needing some youtube "star" to bring in ratings lol.
@@RJ_MacReady What you obviously fail to understand is that they recognize the power of social media, and they're harnessing that power to make the brand bigger and more recognizable than it already is. That is sound business strategy. It's why they're leagues above every other promotion on the planet. They understand the importance of promoting the product, and using every available means to do so.
@decepticonxhunter4850 oof that's an excuse if I ever heard one lol.
Enjoying listening to Bischoff's podcast a lot these days. The guy really speaks how he actually feels and I respect that a lot. And the stuff he says is true too! At least I agree with it anyway. Can't really say the same for Conrad ...
Ronda ain't going back
Mark Conrad's words so when Rhonda never again appears in WWE and is never inducted in the HOF, it can be thrown in his face. Rhonda disrespected a lot of great female talent that contributed to the success of WWF back in the day because she doesn't get the business and doesn't care. Trashing someone like Elizabeth or Sherri is ridiculous. Conrad sticking up for her is like him sticking up for AEW. It's laughable
When Rhonda first appeared, she was dominant in MMA, when she got her ass handed to her, not once, but twice. Her ego wasn't bruised, it was obliterated. She needed WWE more then WWE needed her. When her run didn't turn out as planned the first time, she disappeared and became a Mother ( no knock on that ) when she finally came back that second time, again like Eric said, she was miscast. When they finally turned her it suited her better, just like at the end of that first run, but just like the end of the first, no one cared. She wasn't "over" wasn't gonna get over. Her invincible persona was gone with those two MMA ass whippings. She is a bitter person. No way around it. The mystique was obliterated.
Of course Conrad would make a tater chip comment lol
Best thing about Rouseys WWE career is that it made me appreciate Shayna Baszler more as a performer and a worker, she tried - the company tried but they just couldn't make Rousey into a better Shayna, or even get Rousey on the same level as a performer or entertainer.

Rousey has joined the level of Ryback
Rhonda is UNPLEASEABLE!!
Wants to be heel when face.
Wants to be face when heel.
Either she's the star, over everyone's evil!!
WHY would she want A DIME from "evil Vince'
Ronda
When people say she did it for the paycheck they don't necessarily mean someone is broke. The WWE more than likely offered her enough money to make it worth her while. Being a fan and being a wrestler are not the same thing. Just like CM Punk found out, being a fan of martial arts, BJJ, MMA, doesn't mean you're also a fighter because you trained for a little bit here and there.
Whether it’s UFC or WWE, it seem like Ronda loved the sport as long as the sport loved her. Once she fell out of favor, she suddenly hates it. Beneath that bitterness, she’s probably deeply hurt.
Ronda's entire personality changed when she met her husband. She talks smack about the men in the WWE but her husband was married and cheating on his wife, who he had a domestic violence case against him.
As soon as she trashed the fans a few years ago I knew she wasn't gonna work out lol
WTF did she do to deserve the HOF!?
She had the tools and was put in a position to succeed, with a limited schedule and main event money. I lost faith in her when the first interview she did she said it was fake. But still Steph slapped her into concussionville. Plain and simple she couldn't cut it.
Eric's right about Ronda being different after her loss to Holly Holm. I recall her talking about being depressed and kinda not knowing how to come back from a loss
Why is Conrad so clueless? Or is his role the devils advocate? It has to be right ? He can be that dense…
My theory is he makes his money out of wrestlers so he doesn't want to be critical of anyone. If he can get them on Starrcast or one of his shows he'll stay on their good side.
I like Ronda, but she full of BS. She didn't even deal with Vince, yet he still pushed her. Really, she dealt with HHH and Stephanie most of the time. She just saying this cause it's the topic of discussion and since folks hate Vince, they go with it. But then trashing valets and other talent, hell naw. She really changed when she married Travis Brown.

Yeah, Holly Holmes took Ronda’s soul…was never the same.
Def made people realize that didn’t know that Ronda is human and not some unbeatable machine. A lot of people seen it in her mannerisms/body language after the fight with holm.
Yup and that’s cause Ronda thought she was going to be retire undefeated like Floyd and have the reputation of Mike Tyson when it comes to ending fights in seconds. Holly Holmes really humbled her
Rhonda was definitely a massive wrestling fan, but that doesn't necessarily make you good at wrestling. You can be the biggest music fan in the world, but that doesn't make you a virtuoso violinist, nor does that prime you for dealing with managers, agents, contracts and all the behind the scenes stuff in the music industry. Not sure why people think that would be the case with wrestling.
Eric is 100% spot on with his assestment of Ronda. Period.
So Holly Holm has the most devastating head kick of all time.
Respect to Ronda for not Falling in Line.
Holly dislodged her ego. Amanda Nunes absolutely ended her career.
Rhonda Rousey:
- Debut match is a high profile match at Wrestlemania 34 featuring two veteran marquee superstars Kurt Angle and Triple H
- Receives ample praise and critical acclaim for her natural in ring performance/abilities
- Immediately written into a compelling feud with Alexa Bliss for the WWE Women's championship
- Goes over and wins the WWE women's title at Summerslam 2018
- Goes on to Main Event Wrestlemania 35 in the first time ever where the women's division is the main event .. a MERE YEAR AFTER HER DEBUT.
Also Rhonda Rousey:
- "WWE didn't give me fair creative treatment ..." .... -_-
I 1000% agree with Eric Bischoff. I would also like to add when she was with WWE the first and second time. How many power slams,body slams, dropkicks, clotheslines, DDT's, backbreaker, choke holds or jumped off the top rope on to someone? Not one time. All she does is move around like a slippery snake she is nothing more then a 1 trick pony. Another thing I agree with Eric Bischoff is when she got beat by Holly Holm it took out all the competition attitude. These days at UFC she has really become the punchline for all the jokes...
Eric is 100 perfect on point.
I think Hunter is going to do anything he can to mend any fences he can for the foreseeable future. Sometimes its best to keep your most vocal critics happy however you can.
Nearly everyone who joins WWE gets professional training. Shayna Baszler and Sonia Devile both from UFC went down to developmental and NXT for a number of years where they were clearly re-progammed out of a professional mindset into a semi-professional entertainment style mindset and have clearly thrived at WWE because of this investment. I 100% believe that if Ronda had been given this period of training etc she would still be with WWE!😢😢😢😢😢
Not to say that the Vince stuff isn’t crazy but the fact that these guys outside of the business like Conrad and Brian from the show with Cornette have SOOOO much to say about Vince and how the WWE was ran kinda sickens me quite frankly
you are correct, brian and conrad have always felt some type of way about vince, especially brian last, just lucky marks.
She got beaten twice in the UFC when he head got big and she saying she was boxer until holms knocked her out and she went on a meltdown 🤣
Her ego couldn't handle being boo'd
2:31 to skip Conrad
I love Bishoff, so many people knock him for knowing wrestling and being a used car salesman. To me Eric Bishoff is regular decent buss. Man who joined wrestling and did his best to be far and reasonable. I could listen to Eric Bishoff all day!
Ronda's second run was during the HHH era, Conrad
Forthcoming UFC pay-per-view name should be "STARR-CAGE".
Why?
I don't agree with Eric often but he is right. She had zero luv for the business and she definitely didn't understand how to listen to the crowd

I saw Ronda vs Holly live in Melbourne when she got her ass whipped ~ one of the happiest days of my life! 🙂
I got beat the fu@k up once. It humbled me and made me a better man. I'm actually great friends with the guy now for 20+ years.
She’s like the female Ryback. At least Ronda became world champion.
watching Ronda write and say the things she's been doing about WWE makes me so happy. i love her as a person and hope she continues to help tear the place down.
@@jermainewright2556 I agree 1000%
newsflash the place isn't going down anytime soon as big as ronda is nothing is bigger than the wwe clown !
Ronda
@@jermainewright2556What’s wrong with it?
when she was dominant in UFC people were hating on her. When she come out at the 2018 Royal Rumble first WWE universe were cheering for her. Then after a few months they already started hating her saying that she took the spotlight from Asukas RR win. Then everyone agrees she has one of the best debut matches at mania 34, but then when Nia Jax challanges her for her title people were hating on Ronda again syaing that she didn't deserve a title shot that fast. When she won the RAW women's title from Alexa Bliss people were cheering again. That was until Survivor Series where the WWE universe showed their true colors.
1000% agree. After Holly Holm knocked her ass out, she turned into a totally different athlete. After that KO, that was pretty much the end of Ronda Rousey.
Ronda said in an interview that she wanted to play the heel but WWE had different ideas. She didn’t believe enough preparation and attention went into her matches that were often changed last minute on the fly.
It brings me joy hearing Eric mention numerous times that Rhonda Rousey got knocked out. I still have fond memories of that night, probably the third happiest day of my life besides my children being born.
She is so bitter and angry because people hate her and she needs people to love her. She was like that in mma world.
She was strapped to a rocket and treated like Michael Jordan when she arrived and had X-PAC heat when she left.

Eric said everything I was thinking
I don't think she'll be back and if they bring her back they're stupid. And to say she's going to go in the Hall of Fame is stupid she hasn't contributed anything to wrestling. MMA yes but wrestling, hell no. Now I definitely see why people dislike Conrad.
I disagree with Bischoff on a lot of things but I 100% agree with him. I felt Ronda Rousey was handed a lot of things in WWE because of who she was. Yet here she is complaining.
The one thing her WWE move made painfully clear, she was NEVER explained the difference between heels and babyfaces. She needed to be shown examples of HATED people that were relentlessly booed, winning the fans over and becoming beloved bobyfaces. It's very clear she never understand being a a heel.
She came in and thought she should get everything and be the top women there etc and she was booked like that for a while especially the first run but the fans just never really got on board with her fully. It's like they knew that the passion for doing it and wasn't there with her
I think Rhonda was pushed as a babyface cause that is what she wanted and they agreed cause they thought she would bring in a lot of cash. Rhonda was desperate to be idolized again after her losses. Being a heel fits her better but her ego just can't handle being booed at.
Honestly, I think Ronda's response to the loss to Holm was more damaging than the KO itself because of what it did to her image. "The baddest woman on the planet" would've owned it and been chomping at the bit for a rematch to reclaim her belt, not going into hiding for months only to return and have an emotional breakdown on Ellen. The opportunities in Hollywood quickly dried up soon after, and before too long, Conor McGregor had taken over as the UFC's biggest star. WWE was too little too late.
I f eel everything she said was spot on and yes she is also whiny and can't handle loss or crowd boos very well. Both can be true. I find her to be credible despite her glaring flaws.
She isn’t credible. She didn’t speak up until she had a book out and if she was credible she would be friendly with convicted rapist Mike Tyson
She's right about Vince
So good of Eric to host Conrad’s podcast!!!
Eric is a good host he just lets Conrad speak for ever!!!
Just because you don't need the money doesn't mean what you are doing isn't for the money
RR wasn't good for WWE if she doesn't want to go back good ,EB really wasn't good for wrestling
Conrad is absolutely correct! Lots of stuff came out about Vince that Rhonda is talking about. But Eric is correct too. She was terribly miscast
R ufc female so fragile that she got concussion from Stephanie......
We know concussions are possible, even from slaps
Question is,how strong is Steph's slap's.
So btw once you get a concussion it's easier to get them again which in a sport like MMA means at some point slaps can lead to concussions. This is well known and it happens in Football too which was why all the prior lawsuits mentioned it.
The important thing is to he able to speak up without fear of losing your job. But hey you don't see that powe abuse right
@@The_Champ_4U it's because once you have 1 concussion it can easily trigger future ones even from a slap. This is widely known in sports and most take extra precautions and make sure they feel comfortable to report it without losing their job like Football for example. Football had many lawsuits over players getting them and it was revealed then how once you get 1 or two further episodes become easier.
Without a doubt the best description ive heard of this bitter little child. Couldnt agree more with EB.
You could tell Conrad is a Ronda Rousey Mark. Here’s the thing, Rhonda has always been whiny. Weather was MMA or professional wrestling. She may be right about Vince and his crew, but that doesn’t change the fact that she’s always had a chip on her shoulder about something. Plus, if this was going on, why didn’t she say something when she was there? With her name recognition, she probably would not have gotten into trouble that most cats would’ve? She’s just trying to sell books.
Rhonda never changed. Losing just showed her true character. It's easy to pretend to be a good person when you're always winning.
They crossovers can devalue and delegitimize mma. When you have something with predetermined outcomes with something legit. It puts into the mind that maybe ufc fights are rigged. Just speculation here.
Ronda Rosie was never taught discipline and that's amazing because she comes from a background of Judo wrestling😊
Bischoff knows exactly what he’s talking about 😤
To quote a wise man..."Controversy creates cash" (wasn't there a book by that title? LOL)...."Talk good about me, talk bad about me, just talk about me" syndrome
She says stuff about a "casting couch," but aren't there multiple rumors about her and Dana White smashing as a return for being the top billed female UFC fighter?
The “thrown to the wolves” argument is silly.
She chose to be there, and to cash a check.
If she felt under prepared, or management felt she was; maybe she should have spend some time at the development facility.
Maybe she didn’t want to (wouldn’t be a surprise given her personality)
Maybe management thought she was “good enough” - which, says a lot of what they think of women’s wrestling.
Personally, it just looked like a cash grab to me, from her, and WWE.
She shouldn’t have been in there, and certainly shouldn’t have been as stiff as she was with the talent.
Missed opportunity. But WWE probably wanted to capitalize as much, and as quickly as possible - and she probably didn’t want to put in the time
She had no problem sleeping with Dana White for easy match ups.
Rhonda didn’t understand the product. She’s going to be in that list of people that had no business in the wrestling business, guys like The Ultimate Warrior, Vince Russo and Ryback.
MMA Audience doesn't like her and the WWE Audience doesn't like her. So not sure where she goes now.
