She's only had like a dozen matches though. No real indications she's any good. Takes no bumps, stands in the middle of the ring and clamps on a bearhug.

How old is she anyways? I know they sunk a lot of money into her, but realistically speaking, how many years can they get out of her even if she improves to "not going to botch everything in every role ever"?

Norman was actually training before there was an NXT. He joined FCW around 2008. Always praised by talent. He teaches beginners and the women. He is essentially the yardstick - if don't get Wrestling after working with Norman you never will.

rovert posted:

Apparently he was such massive pain in the rear end for the PCW/ROH set of shows in England last November that he isn't being invited back for the next set of shows later this year.

Did he upset the ROH or PCW side?

He got pretty tanked on the first night in the after party in Evoque, then came back the next afternoon to pull a great match out of Paul London (which was mind-blowing given London spent the last half of 2014 in England avoiding bumping). It's a shame he won't be at the next Supershow, but at least I saw him again at PROGRESS a few weeks ago I suppose.

Benne posted:

I'm only bummed that Havok tanked her chance because WWE/NXT could really use a female HOSS type that's an actual serious threat, because Tamina sucks and Kharma isn't walking through that door.

She's bad though.

We just have to wait for Seliziya Sparx to be allowed back into America.

Austin Matelson, the former WWE developmental talent who's letter to the company alleging problems with former NXT Head Coach Bill DeMott led to the avalanche of allegations against DeMott and his eventual resignation from WWE, has been cast in the new season of CBS reality series "Big Brother".

Originally trained by The Ballard Brothers, Matelson was billed as "Judas Devlin" during his time in WWE developmental. He last wrestled in 2013 and was released by WWE in 2014, months after suffering spinal injuries during training. His occupation is listed as a professional wrestler in promotional material released by the network.

I wonder how that'll work on Big Brother since they abruptly cut the live feeds if the houseguests sing anything copyrighted? Maybe there's an exception if you have the good judgement to put your crappy song lyrics on your ribcage though.

A three word phrase from the lyrics of a single song tattooed on your body is by no means copyrighted in any way.

I don't know how much more clearly I can explain it. If a person on Big Brother even begins to sing Happy Birthday or some pop song on the live feeds, the producers are really quick to cut the feeds to black or to a placeholder image, to the point where contestants will occasionally do it intentionally just to get privacy from the cameras (i.e singing in the shower).
