If this is what it took to sign Rey, I'm super fuckin' glad he stayed in WWE. I've never checked out on a wrestler faster (besides for fash/crime reasons) than when Rey's lovely family showed up.

Vince and Dunn can't get off to women who don't look like party clowns. Notice how every woman who left WWE, like Kelly Kelly, Summer Rae, hell, even Eva Marie is way more attractive when they can, for the lack of a better term, express their beauty themselves.

It used to be pretty blatant even within the company. Can't judge the difference these days, but back when Vince didn't care about NXT, all the women like Sasha, Bayley, Charlotte, Becky, etc, you knew they had make-up on, but it looked natural. Then they got called up to the main roster and it looked like the first thing Vince and Dunn did was personally slam them facefirst into a make-up table to get their looks up to their "Gotta look pretty in HD, pal" antiquated standards.

I have a vague memory of even Baszler getting extra makeup and a bit of a changed up look when she hit the main roster. Either way the change in their look was often the worst part of women being called up. One of the best parts of NXT was when they didn't have all of Vince's hangups on what a wrestler looks like.

You can accuse Vince McMahon of a lot of things but he can definitely identify when someone isn't white.

I came here to chew bubblegum and quote 'They Live', and I'm... at an impasse.
Alverez had a funny point that the only person under 25 that they’re pushing is Dominic. You won’t win 18 to 34 if you don’t have any characters or 18 to 34. (and that survivor series, they had miz beat Dominic in the battle royal to get HEAAAAAAt).

Main roster under 30:

Angel Garza
Humberto Carrillo
MACE
Omos (?)
Tucker
Alexa Bliss
Lacey Evans
Mandy Rose
Peyton Royce
Bo Dallas
Dominick Mysterio
Otis
Chelsea Green
Liv Morgan
Ruby Riott
Sasha Banks
Street Profits

So that makes 10 men and 8 women under 30.

I’m not going to look up the ages of the NXT roster because they have about 80 people assigned to that brand, but it’s surprising how many guys there are in their Mid to late 30s already. There’s some young guys to be fair, but lots of guys that they should have pulled the trigger on by now too.

WWE's stranglehold for so long on wrestling is probably responsible for so many what ifs. So many people with real potential who just never got used.

Ciampa is trying to call the bluff that he'll retire the second he gets called to the main roster again.

WWE does stage makeup. Larger and overly done to be seen from a distance. For the live audience instead of the TV audience.

Who knows why besides Vince, but the people doing the makeup are probably (like everyone else there except Kevin Dunn) really good at their jobs but forced to stick to the desires of a crazy old man.

I mean, not that much. It's speaking louder, and faster.

And even though it sucks the Alexa/Fiend thing is probably seen as a big deal for them.

On this weeks New Day Podcast Bayley mentions having to go into Vince's office after cutting her hair because he had to approve it before they'd put her on TV.
