Blackman Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 <p>NXT is still so awesome. I like the team with Gable. It just proves once again that it's not that hard to transition from a legit athletic background, though Angle might not be a good example as he was just really good in everything for some reason.</p><p> </p><p> Like most I don't get why they're pushing EvaMarie. She's not hotter than the others. Her match with Carmella (that I just watched, had some catching up to do) was all kinds of AWKWARD, going from her screaming "SAWFT", raking the armpit and doing all kinds of random stuff. Her entrance movements seemed weird. What baffles me even more is that the commentators put her over as "really hardworking" and "rapidly improving". The latter could be correct (god knows from how far she's come) but if this is the result of hard work, she's just not made for the business. It may be harsh for fans to boo her (and hard too, as they try to maintain positive), but it's just hard to watch her work in general. It's not an eyesore or plain horrible, but it gets perceived like that in a card that just oozes with talent and great performances. In TEW terms, you'd get an E-. It must be Vince's influence. Maybe he has a fetish for fake red hair now?</p><p> </p><p> @CQI: He did, actually, but that was perhaps a year ago (indeed before the Cena feud).</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been able to watch anywhere near as much recently because of work schedule and not really wanting to go through a whole show for only 15 or 20 minutes of greatness (if any at all), when I can just watch a recap or something on youtube.</p><p> </p><p> The other thing they do is all the sudden acknowledge it out of the blue, to build or build on a feud that they all the sudden want to have. It's not totally unexceptable to me or anything like that, but it does bother me. I can actually forget all about something if it looks like they feel they made a mistake and just ignore that it happened... I can play along. It's the bringing it back after I've played along for so long that can get me irritated. I'm like... Really (Miz voice), Really???? The flip side is, if it's something I wish they didn't ignore and bring it back then I'm like "It's about time!!" So... I try to stay objective either way, but I still feel the same anyways.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russelrules44 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 So, it's official. Nikki Bella is now the longest reigning Divas Champion of all time.....and you know what? It had to happen. It was going to happen anyway. Charlotte's getting her rematch at Night of Champions anyway, and that one is an almost guaranteed victory for Charlotte. Or at least; it's what I believe.

smurphy1014 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 A DQ ending is fine but to use the ridiculous "twin magic" angle to do so (again) is moronic. They would of been better off having Brie or Alica Fox jump in and attack Charlotte to cause the DQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank god they brought back the stupid bra stuffing part of the act from 3 months ago too, that's not demeaning and childish at all. Think that's straight Vinny Mac? "yea see, it works cause you don't have implants! hahaha" Nikki certainly proved one thing, if your ah-hem "in" with the correct people, you can hold a title for the longest period in history and defend it an average of once every 4 months.

Crychon Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I loved the "I started a revolution" promo by Nikki...

Mootinie Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Face it. They both proved it, neither woman was innocent in their shot to the top. Well... to be innocent, you have to have done something wrong in the first place. Neither Nikki nor AJ have done anything wrong, they were highly favoured by the office so they just rolled with it because you'd have to be an idiot not to. It's good business on WWE's part to keep them happy since they help keep their top male stars happy. Cena likes having Nikki on the road with him, Punk liked having AJ on the road with him so Vinny Mac does his best to keep all parties happy. It's just smart but simple business on his part. That and people always forget that being a wrestler is a job and being higher on the card usually means an increased paycheck. You have to ride that wave for all it's worth since wrestling is a short career and you need options after you retire. Nikki has probably made a good million or two off increased merchandise sales alone since becoming Diva's Champion. She sure as hell sells more than every other diva not named Paige, I know that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
