Psycho Mantits posted:Isn't it possible AJ's recent bouts of sloppiness are just due to ring rust? She only sporadically works house shows and has been back less than a month, and she was working injured for much of her last run. I mean people have been saying that she's on her way out for over a year now, I think she would've left already at this point. People have also been doomsaying that she's going to be punished every time Punk says something, but they really haven't. I wonder if Bayley's main roster gimmick will just be "AJ but nice". sticklefifer fucked around with this message at 01:09 on Apr 1, 2015 |

All the more reason to stump for Commissioner Lesnar.  An authority figure who shows up on camera as infrequently as Jack Tunney would be a long overdue breath of fresh air.

I think Nikki and Brie are both perfectly fine in the ring, especially Nikki. She is really good at looking flat out more powerful than the other ladies and has the moves to match. They are pretty good heel characters. I hope they don't break them up because they work well together.

You know I was actually surprised that the Twins actually respectably improved and I am enjoying Nikki more often then I ever used too which was never. So hats off to the both of them.

Somebody photoshop Bayley and Brocks heads onto this picture plz Edit: but to be honest, the whole "Giant raging beast paired up with happy little girl" trope is pretty common in most fantasy/Science fiction, it's sort of surprising it doesn't show up in wrestling all that much. I dunno about Brock since he's a little too main event, but I could see a pairing of Bayley and a big monster dude work. Maybe Rowan? He already has the gentle giant thing going for him and he's pretty bottom of the card with no storyline right now. El Estrago Bonito fucked around with this message at 01:59 on Apr 1, 2015 |

Bayley on the main roster is going to be a surreal thing. Either she translates over well-enough and is a great family-friendly role model for little girls that can hoss it up, or Vince and Dunn don't "get" her and use her in endless "ugly shaming" angles or give her an "obsessed stalker" angle or something else we've seen a bunch before. There were rumors a while back about how she was supposed to debut in NXT as a masked wrestler since she wasn't as pretty as most other Divas or whatever, which I can see resurfacing as an idea for her main roster debut (which, oddly enough, might actually lead to a bigger push for her, since it'd set her apart from the other Divas). I guess what I'm saying is bring back Saturday Morning Slam and have Bayley be the general manager/champion or whatever. Also, cross-posting from the NXT thread: BodyMassageMachine posted:I think Neville's newfound mono-name can be salvaged if they flip his introduction and announce him as "Neville, the Man that Gravity Forgot!!" Sounds more super-heroic/circus-performer that way.

The ironic part of the mask rumour is that Bayley is absolutely gorgeous, but then again I'm no hiring director. If they want to sell masks to girls though, they'd have better luck doing that with Bayley as the platform than Kalisto or Sin Cara.

If they lose AJ the next Diva they push will be whoever can sell merch to 14 year old girls, since that's what AJ does and what no one else can manage. AJ is the only wrestler who's merch I've ever seen for sale not in the kids section, you can probably still go into Hot Topic and buy her stuff. They could probably manage it with Paige if they try, but her "goth stripper" look hasn't caught on with the hot topic teen crowd as much as AJ's "sort of nerdy Avril" thing. So get ready for that skater chick themed Becky Lynch repackage is what I'm saying.

Also unlike Cena, Bayley is allowed to lose a lot and use that to build sympathy, making her big wins mean a lot more.

If every time Cena did his salute, he wound up charging to the ring while wacky waving inflatable tube men sprung to life beside him on the ramp, I think more people would love Cena

Forgive my ignorance, but was the Diva with the awkward dancing gimmick an NXT member that Vince essentially ruined by having her randomly come out with no build and therefore the crowd was baffled? Whatever happened to her?

Whatever happened to her? Emma. She shows up on random episodes of Superstars to lose as someone's tag team partner. She was Paige's teammate briefly against the Bellas before AJ came back. She's also been on a couple of episodes of NXT. I think it was a combination of factors; not explaining the gimmick, pairing her up with Santino just before he retired, and her apparently shoplifting an iphone case within the span of about two months that killed her dead in the water.

I think giving the Bellas distinct movesets has done a lot to help their match storytelling. Nikki has the argentine backbreaker, running forearm and alabama slam, Brie has the x-factor, running knee smash and yes-lock. With the WWE style as it is fans are going to respond to well-executed familiar moves in matches and women actually having them at all rather than matches only being a combination of simple clotheslines, neckbreakers, slaps kicks and rollups is a massive improvement.

Emma is also the reason why I have doubts about bringing up Bayley (and I imagine that's true for a lot of people), but I think that The Happiest Girl is simpler and will translate over better than Sorta Goofy Chick Who Does This Dance And Look, You Had To Be There.
