I’m interested to see what Marina can do. Jessamyn is super gangly and awkward so I’d imagine that’s going to be a really long road to being passable.

I know one person who I trust more than pretty anyone talent wise - who is very biased admittedly who thinks Marina will be the best of the four in the long run.

Yeah always had concerns about Jess. She body reminds of indie wrestler and two-time SHIMMER Women's Champion Madison Eagles. She's 6ft 1in and has had terrible knee issues.

Someone told me Marina in MMA was well known for having very bad cardio. But obviously you can pace Wrestling matches and she's under the Performance Center fitness programme.

Marina's longest professional fight lasted less than two minutes and the others were her getting knocked the gently caress out in like thirty seconds, so I don't know if that tracks.

Marina will be good because she has a high-level grappling background and that base alone generally produces good wrestlers. Jessamyn will be bad because she has never been good at leveraging her physical gifts (doctors call it Stephan Struve Syndrome).

I like when Lacey Evans does that leg sweep, and having just a straight up right hook as a finisher is a fun change of pace. They just really need to reign in what the gently caress her character is gonna be.

God if they don't make this up to Aleister with an actual title run I'm gonna lose a lot of the faith I had built up with NXT. Completely killed the dangerous vibe he had slowly built up by making him a midcard sideshow when they finally put the belt on him.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't stand her. Hasn't she been on every single episode for at least the past month straight? Doing her uncomfortable robotic mannerisms where she looks like a video game where someone spams the taunt button?

Did they change it? She had one that said something like "Hello nice to meet you" and then you couldn't hear anything else. It wasn't anything special.

Also people wonder why the main roster doesn't book more complex storylines (outside of Vince's whims), and last night's contract signing beteween Kairi and Shayna pretty much illustrated why. Fans don't seem to get the basics of psychology (I've seen people bitching about Kairi repeating the same line several times). Kairi repeated the same line several times because it got under Shayna's skin. Kairi isn't exactly a very scary or dangerous looking lady when it comes to appearances.

It also doesn't help that Shayna is starting to get incredibly arrogant either. She's falling into the same trap she fell into last year before the MYC finals. Get progressively more and more arrogant until the finals, where it came down on top of her.

I mean I guess I can see the principle (that I don't necessarily cling to myself) that the main title always always goes on last no matter what but like, you've the culmination of a two year story, the hottest feud in NXT history, and people wanted Lars vs Black for no reason to go on over that? That's psychotic. Lunatics want that.

This does kind of remind me that apparently after Drew McIntyre got fired and went off to great success in the indies, some people at WWE saw him on a show and remarked,"Man why don't we have a guy like that on our roster!?!" :xd:

Would have bet Drew would have never returned. Honestly had a lot of heat.

Juice was always going to be a prodigal son. Matt Bloom/Giant Bernard hooked him up with New Japan. Large amounts of current WWE upper midcard card scene are really good friends with Juice. He's a very, very popular guy.
