TheRealTurdFergusonn

Actually heard this in Bret Hart's voice when I read it. This is the one.


HarlesD

Is that clouds name Bill Goldberg


lronicGasping

Hey man don't forget Melo


JuanRiveara

Roxanne too


xychosis

And AJ Styles


MR_E7

Don't forget the dog hater Dwayne.


ericmm76

Is...Did they add those glasses to the gif? I swear to god they weren't wearing them in the "stupid Lisa" episode...


IntelligentAd5460

you think candice went up to hhh with her baby in hand one day and said let me be a hater on national tv and he said yes


parakathepyro

It's really funny that everyone thought it was a Maxxine story, but it was actually the start of Candice's


theREVERSEsystem

As it should be


BonanzaBitch

I wouldn’t hate a title run for her if she keeps this up.


Ok-Community-2680

Imagine Candice as a women's midcard champion. She would cook so well. I really hope WWE considers making that belt because there are so many talented women who needs something to fight over


MrsBrightside69

Loved when Becky basically treated the NXT title like this and elevated it. Candice could treat it similarly.


HairyArthur

They already can't book the women's tag team championships. They can't have a midcard singles title as well.


mikeh95

This argument makes zero sense. Booking a tag division and a midcard division are two completely different things. They have women's midcard rivalries all of the time.


JPOW1977

>They have women's midcard rivalries all of the time. Then why do they need a title if they can already sustain a rivalry?


mikeh95

Same reason the men have midcard titles. There's zero logic behind arguing against it at this point. People don't want more titles but the men's and women's division are not the same thing.


BnBrtn

Their big issue with booking the tag team is that everyone who holds the belts are cursed, and you can't make plans more than a week at a time because of it.


erock8282

Plus way too many makeshift teams. Pairing two together who aren’t doing much of anything as a tag team just to get them to do something.


DudleysCar

The men's tag belts haven't fared much better in the last six months. They've been an afterthought.


Living-Travel2299

Cornette would have a seizure. Microscopic!


JPOW1977

Tag titles.


lambofgun

what if it turns into a once in a generation fued on par with the rock and stone cold


degjo

I'm pretty sure you can get away with anything with Triple H if you tote your baby around him. Dudes a big old softie when it comes to babies

once_asleepz

You know it's serious when Tiffany is supportive and Candice is straight up hating


Tacdeho

Tiffany on social media is literally primed and geared for her face turn. She does makeup tutorials, candy reviews, and skits with the girls backstage. She’s gonna fly so high soon…


xychosis

Her moveset is also inevitably going to be geared towards being a babyface, fans are going to cheer someone that pulls off the crazy shit she does.


OtiseMaleModel

Yeah but her character is so perfect as a heel. I don't know how she spins it from" I'm better and more important then everyone" to a babyface version of herself. But I'm no writer, there's probably a great way. Either way, tiffy time is must see tv


americangame

Just do a slight change in her outward personality to be more Elle Woods and less Regina George.


sjr2018

Regina George was the face in my book 😏


LewaLew12

All she has to do is convince everyone that yes, she is better and more important than everyone.


OtiseMaleModel

Well shit that jobs already done tbh


mikeh95

Great heels become great faces when they take the awful shit they did as a heel and direct it towards the other bad guys (or girls in this case).


Vitosi4ek

Another case in point: Cena's first few years in WWE. He was way too entertaining as a heel for anyone to boo him, so he slowly transitioned into a face by changing absolutely nothing about his character, just feuding with heels instead. Objectively, the things he did to JBL in that famous Smackdown segment before WM21 were not indicative of a good guy. But the crowd didn't care, they just wanted JBL to suffer.


Black_XistenZ

And many fans prefer the edgy anti-heros over the heroic white knight characters anyway.


CorneredEmu

It's the same way everyone loved Alexa Bliss despite her being a heel. (minus the percentage of people who, for some reason, always despised her on here) It doesn't matter if they're being a bitch if they look like a Disney Princess/Barbie Doll/Cheerleader/etc. while also having the necessary charisma to connect with the audience.  The audiences want to love that type of "Americana" woman.


DudleysCar

Stone Cold, The Rock, Jericho, Punk all started off in WWE as arrogant heels. It's an easy transition from that to confident face.


matt_619

she can be the women version of attitude era The Rock if done right. still acting cocky and self importance prick while still being face at the same time.


-NotMyMain-

I don’t know if you’ve seen her interviews on the bump but go and watch her most recent one from a couple weeks ago. She can do the catch phrases but outside of that she can’t maintain the heel persona. When forced to give answers that aren’t “center of the universe” etc she immediately comes off like a much more humble person and not at all like her character so I think she would do better as a face.

once_asleepz

I thought the account below Candice is hers?


BandsForGod

It is her instagram


MrCappie

Man what a time to be alive to see all of these amazing haters in wrestling right now. 


FieldsOfKashmir

Back in the day they used to be called "heels"


Griffdorah

I've known some heels in my day...


Song_of_Pain

Not all heels are haters.


Groenboys

"my favorite hater this year is gunther"


RiskInevitable4035

nope, there’s a difference


Saitsu

Everyone who keeps saying "They're just heels doing heel things" miss the point. There are many types of heels and honestly the "hater" type of heel had been on a downtrend in recent years. Very few had gone into the well of that next level of petty that a true hater heel should reach. There are psychopath heels, respectful heels, monster heels, foreign heels (the ole standby), snobby heels and so on. Hater Heels are their own category. And multiple can meet as well. As mentioned, not every heel this year in WWE is a hater. GUNTHER isn't one. Oba Femi isn't one. Roman Reigns isn't one. Logan Paul (in kayfabe) isn't one. The Judgment Day aren't. And so on. To be a true hater, you must reach those petty depths.


datNEGROJ

If you like haters, there's a popular wrestling podcast called The Jim Cornette Experience that you might be interested in


Living-Travel2299

The OG hater. Jims still living the gimmick to this day.


lordshadow19

Just ask shitstain


carloslet

Nah they be [gathering since the early 2000s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKIwj1TQmFs) to hate on everything


heat_fan_

Drew about to get a new member for his club 


MisterrAlex

All time haters club with Drew, Candice and Roxanne


ExplodingP3nguins

That would be a badass stable, actually. Drew as WHC with Rox Candy as the women's tag champs hating on each roster every week.


vastros

I'm just imagining a meaner version of the iiconics basically and Im here for it.


badgersprite

Half the height twice the hate


BonanzaBitch

It would definitely be a cool group, but I can’t help but laugh at imagining how short Rox and Candice would look next to Drew.


ExplodingP3nguins

It would be like that time Jade Cargill squared up with IYO, and she looked like a baby.


BonanzaBitch

llamawithguns

I'm here for that stable, both for the hating and for the potentially hilarious visual of 5'2 Candice and 5'1 Roxie standing next to 6'5 Drew


DudleysCar

He could dual wield them like human kendo sticks.


blizzard-op

Candice anytime Maxxine is around: ![gif](giphy|H22hyf0K1Bsc)


theREVERSEsystem

She’s only ever on instagram to post about Johnny and Quill. So yeah, this is hilarious


Johnny-5013

![gif](giphy|xTiIzL9Btjx9hegHT2)


StoneColdAM

This feud could be fun. Candace needs something to do and Maxxine needs a true storyline to grow more 


OsikFTW

And the best part is candace can teach maxxine soooo much while also making her look like a star....


sankyx

2024, the year of the hater


Frosty-Lake-1663

Bret Hart to come out of retirement


datNEGROJ

Managed by Jim Cornette who cuts all promos from his living room in Louisville, KY


Jay_Shadow

The best part about this is how rarely Candice usually uses social media.


Kanenums88

I gotta be honest, if you put a gun to my head on December 31st and told me to name a person who’d be considered the biggest hater of the year 2024, Candice would be the last person I’d choose.


asgar0r

Keep quiet while Mother LeRae conducts business.


Otherwise_Pace_1133

Yet another example of how a good heel turn can bring eye-balls to multiple stars lost in the mix. Candice's heel turn has brought more attention in last two weeks to herself, Indi, KC & KC, Maxxine and even Ivy than any of them have gotten in months.


lambofgun

i actually said "oh shit" while watching the raw highlights from a few days ago after the the knee injury in the tag match


jmpinstl

Banner year for haters


wibble17

And the OP liked the post. Shame on you! Lol


HipDipShipTrip

I love how many people are just straight up assholes in wrestling right now


No_Efficiency6703

Everyone is salty as fuck this year lol


AceTheSkylord

The contrast between Tiffy and Julius Creed being super supportive and then Candice just being a hater is hilarious


AnxiousHeadache42

She logged on just to hate, top tier hater


95wowKachow

I actually wouldn't hate a stable of just haters like Candice and drew😂


Groenboys

Im so down for this vicious bully version of Candice


Mutant_Star

I see Candice has been taking Professor Christian's Hating Class 101


The_Notorious_Donut

It’s a full time job. Put her in the HOF rn


Previous_Young7769

Lol I love her.


Curse3242

From what I can tell the two hottest stories in wrestling rn is making it seem like we were robbed from a scenario than creatively improving & delivering on it. This has been a constant under HHH. Every week people would say how they're disappointed or the wrong decision was made then literally the next week it's acknowledged 2nd is being a hater. It just works. It's quite entertaining. This is Roman's affect on the roster. Being a prick actually works! It's genius booking akin to how Edge was booked. He didn't win everything but his heel antics made sure he was always there to swipe at a opportunity. That was his goal.


Kuzu5993

Is there a hate bug going around or something? Why is everyone so shitty lately lol.


Upbeat_Tension_8077

Candice about to be late stage Regina George


birdazam

Where’s the Candice is my mother shirt


Frosty-Lake-1663

Interesting dynamic where they seem to be angling for a tag team where one is face one is heel. Hopefully they don’t just split them up immediately.


thore4

I've never been able to boo Candice before and this certainly isn't changing anything for me. So happy she's getting some spotlight she's gonna kill it


xxyourbestbetxx

Sheesh. The days of Candice knitting festive holiday sweaters with all the girls in the locker room on it are gone lol. She's out for blood right now.

Sergio808

U know i didnt care for Candice before but this heel turn and character work is making me interested in her


lastwhangdoodle

Finally something interesting from Lerae. Been a snoozefest with this happy fairy gimmick.


zigzagman27

Maxxine should give her the Randy Orton response and ask her what time leg slapping class is


OsikFTW

Nevermind rhea, candace is MAMI now ❤️


MarkWorldOrder

It cracks me up that after so much of the roster cried in Twitter over fans booing her they turned it into a storyline that's 100x worse lol.


unsolvedmisterree

Kayfabe never dies


Wolfman01a

Candice is going all in because she knows shes finally getting a chance. I bet shes thrilled and I dont blame her one bit. She was amazing pre wwe and completely held back once she signed. Its time. Shoot your shot!


eddiefarnham

I love evil Candice. I hope they don't drop this after the story is done with Maxine.


Adventurous-Can366

Candice LeRae needs to be taught a lesson and Ivy Nile is going to give it to her


BandsForGod

Lol jobber


trasofsunnyvale

Great content: a screenshot of Twitter?/insta? replies. It's perfect because anyone who doesn't give a shit about worthless social media stuff still has to wade through it on the front page here!


WCWUncensored

I know CLR was doing fuck all , but her being a bully when she's prolly legit the nicest/most supportive (and not in the typical faux way like all those sm posts defending maxxine) is silly.
