I'll give Eva some credit in that she's willing to take a bump now. Also her finisher looks like it'd be really great when executed not half-assedly. And she's using an entrance robe and entrance robes own.

But yeah she's still really rough and not good.

She was trying to heel it up with her bad mannerisms but she's completely incapable of conveying human traits.

It didn't really get mentioned because the thread was dead, but in last week's episode Sami Zayn looked directly into the camera for a significant portion of his promo. It looked so much better than when the person talking stares off into space.

It's really incredible. We had Dana Brooke at a couple of points in the show, and she's a very bad actress. But Eva Marie doesn't even come across as human. It's not that she's awkward, that at least would be something real. I saw someone bring up elsewhere that she gives off a real-life uncanny valley experience; she's approaching falseness from the other side.

It's totally unintentional on Eva's part but I love it. Like Dana Brooke is what the WWE thinks they're selling with Total Divas, but Eva is what everyone else is seeing when they watch the show. They're going to feud someday and the matches will be so bad and so uncomfortable to watch that it'll come back around to being the greatest.

The weirdest thing to me was the interview kind of standing behind and to the side of Finn for his opening promo. He had to put the mic kind of over Finn's shoulder. Very weird positioning.

Breeze is running down that HBK playbook to the letter. I look forward to seeing bodyguard dude being called up before Breeze once Vince sees him.

I can't imagine Breeze surviving his first month on the main roster without some sort of heavy or stable behind him. He'd debut on Raw and be in the Bo-Zone by Smackdown.

It's hard to soar with the eagles when you work with Turkeys!!



There's no way Breeze rises far above midcard comedy heel with that gimmick, and because the main roster doesn't do nuance as well as NXT, I think it's more likely he ends up the next Fandango. (Granted, Fandango was getting way over before WWE panicked and took away everything that made him remotely interesting, like they do when the crowd starts to get behind anyone not being actively pushed.)
