Used to be you could find a valet on TV Saturday morning and working a strip club Saturday evening.
I saw Missy Hyatt stripping at the Pony back in 2003. She was promoting her and Sunny's wrestlingvixxens web stuff back then.

You can talk about me and you can talk about my wife and you might even be able to talk about my dog, but I can't take anybody talking bad about the sport of kings. No sir, just can't stand for it.

Mic skills are an 11, even though the WWE is kinda keeping a lid on it the last year by making her be a face or a tweener.
Her persona and ring skills are also off the charts. She has great instincts and can really tell an emotional story in the ring.
The Nature Boy reborn as a woman in the modern era.
Don't care for her marketing. We KNOW she's Flair's daughter. I like the Queen references, but the fancy robes, the Flair chops, WOOO! were her dad's thing.
I dig the figure eight...but that's about it.
We know who Bo Dallas & Bray Wyatt's dad is...they don't use Mike Rotunda gimmicks.
Same with Randy Orton.
Let her develop her own character, her own style...be her own person.

You would be in the extreme minority on that one concerning Charlotte. (not that there is anything wrong with that) Plenty of room for everyone tastes and opinions. It would suck if we ALL saw it the same way.
In general I would agree with you, but not in every single case. She was born to play this role.
Ric Flair was not his own character he developed either, it was taken from Buddy Rogers and a few other guys.

I'm just saying that next generation wrestlers should be able to come up with their own stuff.
It wpu;d be as foolish as Brian Cristopher "pulling the strap down" aka Jerry Lawler, throwing fireballs...etc.
Its alright to take little bits from other characters...but the majority of her persona is a female version of Ric Flair.
To me, you are cheapening his character, his legacy as it were.
Everybody has their own interpretation of something...and their interpretations aren't always as good as the original (take the New Star Wars for instance. Refuse to watch it...since it did not come from Lucas)

I understand fully what you are saying, I just think its clear most people disagree concerning Charlotte in particular.

The heel promo from Nakamura was perfect I see this turn going very well for him.
There were a couple of rumors floating around a couple of weeks ago of Sami coming in as El generico
Did the dude have a stroke some time ago, or does he have to do that insane face contortion all the time?
