What does it matter if it wasn't the same people. The fact of the matter is that in the exact same arena as they had summer slam in they sold out.

Barrett's going by his real name on twitter and the blurb under his name says 'performed in WWE as wrestler Wade Barrett'. Is he gone?

If this is the end for him, that's got to put him comfortably in the top 5 for biggest waste of potential of all time. He had everything you could ever want in a wrestler.

If you were going to design a WWE wrestler from the ground up, he would look like Wade Barrett.

Barrett's bio says "perform." I'm no fancy writer but that sounds like present tense.

It's an imperative statement, he's telling someone to perform as Wade Barrett because he's through imo

On the womens stuff, I suppose if one were to be glass-half-full about it, I suppose these 6 woman tags, and 3 girl teams etc get a lot more women on screen more often than the usual Diva roundabout where its 1 or 2 women again and again. That has to be helping with the pay discrepancy, which was the thing AJ whinged at Stephanie about on twitter.

I mean, they'd still gently caress up the booking of that 1vs1 match, so it's not really a solution.

I went to NXT Takerover Brooklyn mostly to see the women before the main roster hosed them up. I also wanted to see Demon Finn's entrance live, but it's not as special anymore. I got my money's worth watching a masterpiece in Sasha/Bayley. If I wanted to see Kevin Owens live I could do so at many more events. The NXT women sold me on the show, card unseen.

Revenant Threshold posted:On t'other hand, it's literally just that extra screen time. Giving ALL the women on the main roster that they currently use a match together for 14 minutes isn't going to let them show off to their best ability the way even 10 minutes could give a 1vs1. But if they gave two sets of women two 5-10 minute matches then they could spend less time doing moves that they're not that good at and make the matches tighter and more focused. Saving the long matches for special events works for NXT. It also doesn't help that everyone knows the womens program is in a holding pattern until AJ's "record" is broken (both AJ's and the Bellas records mean nothing as they were both uneventful reigns).

I don't get it. If Nikki is working hurt and supposedly a heel, why not just have her cheat to win in a series of title defenses on her way to the record title run? You can have short matches, and get over the program with her talking instead of wrestling. It worked in the 70s and it can work today.

They're still trying to get the divas division over as a whole. I can understand why they're doing these tag clusterfucks even if I don't like it.

Wins and losses don't matter, but the length of the title reign does.

I remember when they had Orton win the title just so he could be the youngest instead of Brock.

It would be good if her reign ended, like, the day before matching the record. Then the heel gets to suffer knowing they almost made it, and everyone else enjoys the catharsis. But I guess WWE isn't into that.

Nikki is the embodiment of female empowerment, AJ is some nerd married to a skinny fat pencil neck geek. It's pretty easy to see why Nikki deserves the longest reign.
