You know what it's like when a bad actor is obviously reading cue cards or is visibly hesitating because they're trying to remember their next line until it hits them half a second too late? Eva Marie's like that, but with everything.

"Oh, I'm supposed to hit my move here."
"Oh, I'm supposed to trash talk."
"Oh, I'm supposed to kick out."

Oh poo poo the camera is on the other side

I like the squashes in NXT because they have the flexibility to bring in people that I'm familiar with from the indies and give them a paycheck to do a quick deal. Ciampa and Crazy Mary Dobson have worked the main event to enhance the upper card. Gargano shows up, is over as gently caress, gets his poo poo in and bounces. Leva Bates is basically a modern Barry Horowitz. It really clicks with me.

On the main roster, the rare occasion they use jobbers, it's total no-name out of shape people (because I guess Vince finds that funny). The rest of the time, it's losers trading wins that don't matter because they're losers.

Or in the case of Ryback's build, 19 year olds who weigh like 140lbs each

Bayley losing would be somewhat anticlimactic considering the length of her chase and how little history and build she has with Nia

It would be like if you did the Sami/Owens angle only they'd never worked together before

The thing with the Ascension is that they treaded water for EONS on NXT, "debuting" (more like coming back with a slight repackaging) as a monster heel team, getting the belts and then spending their ENTIRE title reign squashing randos, with no challengers or good feuds in sight. As a team, I think they're perfectly mediocre, but not charismatic enough on mic on in the ring to carry a run by themselves. Then they got promoted to the main roster and instantly buried, despite a huge build-up run in NXT.

Their WWE gimmick was the Orton Legend Killer gimmick, only for tag teams that were even older and more retired, and also they ended up getting their asses kicked by them

Weeks of Bradshaw making GBS threads all over them from the booth punctuated by him climbing into the ring to destroy them

Battle royale was great just because some lunatic agent set up a Liv powerbombs Cameron over the top spot and it almost comically killed both of them.

I felt super bad for her when she went up for it the first time and ate poo poo because she lost her balance

However, in the interest of gender equality there should have been "you hosed up!" chants

Brennan Williams is super cool and I hope he gets signed. It's still kinda lame that he got cut from the NFL, really. He's not bad.

He never recovered enough from microfracture surgery on his knee

Well also as a huge guy Williams doesn't have to be as explosive as he would in the NFL, he can be more the slow deliberate intimidating type. Those big 300lb fucks are fast as poo poo and their knees take a beating

Grozz Nuy posted:

It's his real name. They seem to have a new habit of having signees perform under their real names while still in the house show/enhancement match phase of their NXT careers, then redebut them with a company-owned name when it's time to care about them. Rich Swann just happens to have a shoot name that works remarkably well as a ring name.

Well now I feel bad :v:

Yeah his real name doesn't really fit his in ring look at all IMO

Alexa is a great heel character, has good in ring mannerisms, and actually has some good brutal looking offense now. To me, the missing piece is a more athletic moveset. I wonder if she's just too short to do springboard kind of moves.

She's soooo tiny
