It's so very WWE that even after the show is over they just can't stop making GBS threads on the people they hate.

I loved the coaches, judges, and everybody else praising Amanda through the whole post-show for her athleticism, only for Triple H to pop in and laugh at them. "Nobody likes her and everybody likes Sara Lee, sorry guys!" And he's right, you can teach and train athleticism, but as years of futile booking have proven, you just can't force a connection to the crowd. Maybe Sara is able to maintain that in NXT or on the main roster, maybe she's not, but that's the kind of thing you have to grab and try to build on.

It's not so much "you can't teach that" as it is they're not even trying to teach it. All the other women (except maybe Daria) were varying degrees of the cookie cutter Diva mold, and we all know what a massive success the Diva revolution is. Amanda was painfully the Diva stereotype. Every week they kept telling Sara to be more like everyone else, but she was either incapable or smart enough to ignore them and just crushed the vote.

People have complained that for years they essentially hired Divas based on their looks since they wanted fitness models. But it's okay to like Sara Lee because she has the girl next door look? I don't get it. nooneofconsequence posted:It's not so much "you can't teach that" as it is they're not even trying to teach it.

Every week they kept telling Sara to be more like everyone else, but she was either incapable or smart enough to ignore them and just crushed the vote. I don't think they were telling her to be the typical Diva stereotype. But they were trying to tell her to get a personality, because you can't just be happy all the time when you're a wrestler. Most weeks she would just stand there with dead eyes and look emotionless, or super happy. I've yet to see any emotion out of the girl, or if we do it seems fake and forced. TBH none of the girls impressed me on that show, I wish there was only one winner.

The personality they wanted her to develop was "be aggressive" and "stop smiling." Obviously to succeed she's going to need to learn how to act, but maybe people are just sick of every single diva character being a bitch.

"Nobody likes her and everybody likes Sara Lee, sorry guys!" She has that Paige intangible. No wonder Paige is trying to stop her. Can't stop laughing at how everyone was burying Sara Lee even when she'd won. HHH coming in to put her over was nice, and a message to all the other wrestlers chiming in. Renee looked like she wanted to be anywhere else. Sara's not even that bad - they act like she's a female ZZ, but she at least has a look because she's thin and pretty. btw I like Amanda. I like her even more after she was so sore on Tough Talk. The best wrestlers are the worst people.

I loved how when Sara said her goal was to be in the WWE in a year, everyone just laughed her off. Maybe they should have done this show with people who actually had at least base training done... that way it wouldn't be 2 years or whatever before we see them again. Like, why wouldn't you want to capitalize on whatever audience the show has by being able to say "tune in to NXT on the WWE Network to follow the journey of Sara and Josh!" At least it looks like they're doing just that with the next show, but it's already on the Network so it's pretty much just preaching to the choir.

The worst thing you can do is win because they'll spend eternity burying you for winning a reality show. The best thing for your career is to come in 2nd or 3rd and get a separate developmental deal out of it.

Becky, Charlotte and Sasha are the only ones who don't mostly go for the face. Most Diva offense is head strikes and everybody uses a head-striking finisher except for the aforementioned three submission users. Brie's only moves are a running knee to the face, a missile dropkick to the face and a facebuster.

One thing that made me laugh over the last 2-3 weeks was the frequent references by the judges that ZZ was potentially attempting to manipulate the people to like him like this was a bad thing. Isn't that EXACTLY what a wrestler should do? "Oh no, this guy is good at convincing people to like and support him! There's no place for that in wrestling!" On the other hand, Josh is very tall!
