WWE Veteran Criticizes Liv Morgan for Poorly Executed RAW Segment

4 months ago By Jhon Woug

In WWE, where highs and lows are high-stake game-changers, nothing remains unnoticed from the fans, critics, or even the veterans of the industry. So, when a WWE veteran took it to social media to critique live Morgan for her supposedly poorly done segment on RAW, it raised a wave of discussion and debate within the wrestling community. This article takes a look into the details of the segment mentioned that has drawn flak, the discussion on it, and what this really means about both Liv Morgan’s career and WWE programming.

Overanalyze: What Went Down on RAW?

Liv Morgan has come across as an energized and charismatic performer, perhaps more so than most, but even she was involved in what many described as an important segment this week on RAW. It was supposed to further a storyline that’s going to feature Morgan and some of the top WWE Superstars in the company, but it reportedly came across really flat.
Key Determinants of the Segment:

Promo Delivery:

Morgan needed to hit a critical promo to set the tone moving forward regarding the storyline. This would be made to distinctively hold the sense of characterisation intact and lead into the future matches.

In-ring interaction
This section featured in-ring work involving some of the other Superstars, and therefore required Morgan to literally practice in conveying emotion and tension well.

Physical Performance:
The stark segment concluded with a short bout, wherein timing and precision execution were necessary for the segment to be felt/impactful.

Despite any expectation created ungrounded in the public, however, it received mixed to negative reviews from fans and industry insiders alike.
The Critique: A WWE Veteran Speaks Out

A WWE veteran with experience is something that is described as “highly valued” when it comes to that business or job. He trashed the performance of Liv Morgan in that segment. This all was a very critical review, indicating a lot of space in which Morgan did a bad execution.
Points of Critique:

Making Promotion Fun

Best term in a column came next by Heaps when he said that Morgan needed to work on making her promo more “intense” and “heelish” in conviction. Her delivery came across “unconvincing” and “flat,” not really grabbing the audience or setting the pace of the storyline.

Emotional Expression:
The war vet pointed out that Morgan lacked the ability to effectively communicate the emotions required. Her facial and body expressions were considered less enough to meet the demands of the script, hence a disconnection with the audience.

in-ring coordination
Timing and coordination were very obviously out in the scuffle during Morgan’s segment. The whole sequence was ‘stiff’, ‘uncoordinated’ and, as a result, took away the overall impact of that section of the sequence.

Presence Overall:
The vet noted that Morgan’s overall presence and being able to center the squared circle was absent, and she was “nervous,” “unsure,” certainly bringing down the quality of the segment.

Background Information: Liv Morgan and Career
Liv Morgan—real name Gionna Daddio—has signed with WWE since 2014 and debuted in NXT. Of the glaring characters hosted through the years by the roster, it does have the vibrancy and agility carried by the character in the ring. In WWE, the years with Morgan have shown their full share of ups and downs, a title run now with the faction the Riott Squad and other times in a singles career on the main roster.
Professional Upheaval

The Riott Squad :

Morgan was at her height fighting for The Riott Squad with Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan. The faction was filled with typical defiant attitudes and tight in-ring work.

Singles Push:
After the breakup of The Riott Squad, in which she is a member, Morgan started to work individually. There were several character evolutions in order to find a niche that empathetically appealed to the WWE Universe.

Recent Achievements:
In the last couple of years, Morgan has finally been in more visible positions with main stories. Her matches give a preview of athleticism and an increasingly growing identity as a performer.

In the past though, this all points to a more recent critique—a problem Morgan has yet to truly cement her place as one of the top Superstars.

The Effect of Criticism: Industry and Fan Reactions

This veteran’s critique of Liv Morgan’s promo on RAW has certainly gotten the wrestling community talking. Reactions were pointing to different reforms, some supported the veteran assessment for the output, while the others pointed to the defense of Morgan’s performance.
Human Interest:

Support for the Critique:

Many others in the industry, along with ex-wrestlers, repeated this veteran, stating promos need to be intense but on point. Top segments, according to them, should be topically executed so as to develop storylines.

Defense of Morgan:
Other industry figures have leaped to the defense of Morgan, citing the pressures and challenges of live TV. They said she has in fact had a good run, has grown through the years, and more importantly, had the capacity to bounce back each time from criticism.

Mixed Reviews:

The segment drew substantial feedback from the fans, through their social media platforms and different wrestling forums. Some said it was really weak, while others claimed the criticism was overblown.

Backing Liv Morgan
Indeed, many fans rallied behind Morgan, saying that they were proud of her and that she just needs to dedicate herself more and try to be better. Others, however noted her development and potential vulnerability as well, needing from others more positive criticism than condemnation.

Criticisms and Areas of
Many fans considered the problems pointed out by the veteran but placed it in a context of areas of improvement rather than being flaws that are inborn to her. They remained hopeful that she would learn from the experience and continue to grow as a performer.

Broader Implications for Liv Morgan and WWE
The specific critique of Liv Morgan’s segment with Lashley is symptomatic of larger criticisms of where she falls in her career— and of WWE’s creative. It speaks to performer expectations and the difficulty of consistently doing great business: hallmarks of what should describe life as a WWE Superstar.

For Liv Morgan

Growth Opportunity

Although intensely scathing, the comment provides Morgan an opportunity to take some time to recognize something amiss that she could improve upon. Constructive criticism makes a world of difference in the growth and development process.

Character Development:

Plus Morgan is someone who changed so many times on the way. So, such criticism could stand a dense armor on WWE creative to take action and tinker whatever is necessary in her character by finding new ways to portray her strengths.

In-Ring and Promo Training

A little more investment in some additional training, both in in-ring coordination and promo delivery, can do a lot for enhancing Morgan’s overall performance. Very important advice is that developmental coaches and mentors, people experienced in the business, are extremely helpful in advising on newly gleaned insights able to be used.

For WWE Programming,

Focus on Quality Control:

This critique would seem that quality control would be established in a WWE segment. How well the superstars are really prepared and confident in what they have to do or say will determine the production of quality entertainment.

Balancing Criticism and Support:

The WWE is going to constructively criticize while supporting their talent. Superstars must have an environment where they are encouraged and are vital for long-term success with constructive feedback on how to get better.

Interesting plots:

Carefully planned and effectively executed crafting of engaging storylines that fans can resonate is of the essence. WWE’s creative team should focus more on the story and the story must be the one that plays well to a superstar’s strengths and facilitates them duly.

Background: WWE Criticism

Nothing is new about the superstars in WWE suffering at the wrong end of criticism. Over these years, there have been way too many performers who have suffered from the bashing which veterans, fans, and other experts of this industry have been throwing at them. Others have turned that negativity into a motivational tool, while others simply folded under its pressures.

Notable Examples:

John Cena:

Early in his career, John Cena was lambasted for the quality of his in-ring and promo delivery. However, Cena used this feedback to morph the character into one of the most successful Superstars in WWE history.

Roman Reigns:
Roman Reigns is heavily criticized by the fans as well as veterans of professional wrestling, but despite that, he worked his socks off and constantly improved both his character and in-ring work, eventually finding success as one of the top heels in WWE.

Becky Lynch: It wasn’t an easy ride to stardom for Becky Lynch. She got flak about her character work and not being the best promo, something she used as fuel to help develop “The Man,” a character that really spoke to the audience and baptized her at the top of the industry.

Onward: Strategies for Improvement
There are a number of strategies Liv Morgan can work out to address the issues shown by the veteran’s critique to better her presentation in general.

  1. Ask for Useful Feedback: Being critical, Morgan should look at it as a good way to grow rather than rock her boat. Through such constructive criticism, she gets to know specific areas she might be going wrong and hence areas she needs to look into and strengthen.
  2. Better Promotional Skills:
    Working with experienced promo coaches can greatly help Morgan improve her delivery, intensity, and emotional expression. Closed exercise practice to reinforce verbal and non-verbal rehearsal of the delivery in authentic context with peers and mentors who can provide unambiguous constructive feedback plus representations that one is able to.
  3. In-Ring
    Additional training and repetitions will heighten the in-ring coordination. This will enhance the fluidity and force of Morgan’s performances. She must closely work out timing and sequences with other Superstars.
  4. Consistent Character
    A relentless and more or less identifiable character within the eyes of followers may only add to the overall fit of Morgan. At that point of time, maintaining a balance between her real self and the on-screen character can also enhance the opportunity to have that more realistic grasp on the viewers.
  5. Audience Engagement:
    She can reach out more to the WWE Universe—via social media, interviews, and live interactions with fans—to make a simpler connection with the audience. Knowing fan reactions and preferences might help increment a character development and choice of performance by a wrestler like Morgan.

Conclusion
The WWE veteran has since bashed on one of Liv Morgan’s recent RAW segments—this has got to be a buzzing point for true wrestling fans. Constructive criticism works out the kinks and shows mistakes, so Morgan possibly has blossomed into more than just an artist. Emboldening constructive criticism with encouragement is a necessity in the WWE. She can continue to grow if she takes those opportunities to learn how to be better in promos, in-ring-wise, works on development that gives her character, so Liv Morgan keeps evolving into a top-tier superstar. Above all, this was a great lesson in quality control and engaging storyline development that will motivate talent to continue to want to get better not just for themselves but for the fulfillment level of added talent to WWE. Moving forward, WWE and Morgan will need to reflect on reasons like this for developing programming and performances. The WWE Universe audiences look forward to how she’ll answer her critics and continue on in the sport. With those successful attributes, and some help combined, she will be easily overcoming all these adversities in life and earn something valuable from her career.
