    They need divas who can actually put on an entertaining product instead of just getting a boob job and wasting TV time if they want people to give a fuck. Lita, Trish Stratus, they could actually put on a show, and were hot. Shit, even Stacy Kiebler and Torrie were decent in the ring IIRC. Then they bring in shit like Kelly Kelly, who was hot, but clearly had no love for the business nor what she was doing.

    I kind of worry what the larger percentage, the 'normal' Cena loving WWE Universe will think of Emma. I worry they won't get it, won't get behind it, and we will see her back down in NXT. Kind of like Fandango at first. If it wasn't for that Jersey crowd post Wrestlemania, and the hype it generated, I don't think Fandango would still be on our TVs.

    Look at Cesaro. Strong as shit, talented as shit, and back on NXT because the WWE Universe didn't really care for him all that much. NXT has been amazing as of late, with El Generico finally wrestling and more talent coming in, it is just great to watch.

    I haven't watched NXT in a long time, just been getting results online. Where can I watch episodes, and when do new ones get posted? Does the WWE have a site for 'em?

    Well they're still trying to do shit with Cesaro, like they matched him up with Zeb last week...dunno how long that'll last though.
    Oh and he's also in the MITB WHC match.

    Yep, he was pretty much dropped back down to NXT for a bit to kind of ramp up his persona. Changed it a ... bit, but not much. Him with Mr. Whiskers though, I don't really care for that.

    Hulu+ is the only way to see NXT officially, Makwa.

    You can't really fault people for not taking to Cesaro when he's playing a heel angle that's probably been done to death in the biz, the belittling foreigner. Del Rio does it, too. Swagger's been doing it in reverse. The Canadians only really gloat about themselves when they're doing a show in Canada and slobbin' Bret's knob in the process, but I guess that's a given. I know I tend to gravitate toward faces, but there's just no heel persona they have going right now that I feel for.

    I agree Arus. I just think it is unfortunate every time someone with that kind of talent gets overlooked, and people like Bo Dallas get the push. I thought that they dropped the gloating foreigner fast enough. Parts of Cesaro's persona got cut when they were not working. Aksana, and then the 5 languages intro. I do get it though. That said, you have Sandow who is just as belittling if not more so and he is still doing fine. I think it is just a simple matter of whether people were too bored to boo or not. For some reason Sandow just got the heat more.

    I think "the crowd" tends to unknowingly shoot itself in the damn foot too often. So we are stuck with asshole faces like Shamoose, and confusing "Is he yelling at me?" heels like ADR. PS. I love Ricardo. I want him to be Emma's manager somehow. Think of the greatness.

    I hadn't really thought about it until you mentioned your preference, but I suppose I am the opposite, and have always gravitated towards heels. That said, I can't stand the cowardly heel. I just think it is stupid 90% of the time. Ziggler heel is one of my current favorites, and Punk when he is talking about how great he is is too. Cowardly Punk though, I was so over that and hope not to see it for some time.

    There are a few girls in NXT who can wrestle really well. You can really see Regal and Steamboat's influence on them. Emma is a good wrestler with an infectious personality. She is a face btw, not sure where the heel thing came from. Paige, Emma, and Audrey will probably move up sooner than later...I'm not sure that any of the others are really ready.

    Hulu+ is the only way to watch it legally, but it's everywhere on wednesdays if you don't have morals. :D I signed up for the free week from Hulu+ and watched all the old episodes, then cancelled once I caught up and before they could charge me for a month.

    Cesaro was doing just fine until he won the US title and then went on a losing streak. I'm not sure why WWE does that to its champions. I think they believe that the champions losing all the time is fine because they are still champions...but it kinda devalues the titles in the first place when your champ loses all the time. I mean, just look at The Shield, they get the titles and lose 2 six man bouts in a row. It's mind boggling. And it doesn't help at all when you have your IC or US champ go on a month long feud with Sheamus or Randy Orton and lose EVERY MATCH, but the big good guy never challenges for the title because of course its beneath him. Really irks me.

    Paige and Emma are definitely highlights but Audrey is gone. They released her a couple of weeks ago. Sasha Banks is a pretty good worker also but needs time down there.

    Hell, I missed the Audrey release. She was pretty bland anyway. Sasha has a big name (she's snoop dogg's cousin or w/e) but she is really raw. They need to give her time to get better before bringing her up for sure.

    Watching NXT has actually given me some hope for the future of wrestling in the WWE, lots of guys with great technical skills who are being trained by some of the best wrestlers of our time. Since Vince fired his writer a few weeks back though, RAW and Smackdown have been much better...so I have hope that we're headed in a better direction than we were.

    NXT has a pretty nice main event crowd going on down there too despite Bo being the champion. Between Neville, Ohno, Graves, and Zayn they got four guys they could easily put the belt on and have some great matches.

    Notice Dolph comes out to the ring without AJ and Big E?
    Looks like that tweener/face push is happening after all.

    RAW kinda sucked this week, but closing out with a Wyatt Family promo is kinda different. Interested to see the debut next week. And lulz Ricardo Rodriguez got suspended for a wellness policy violation, poor Alberto Del Rio, all his heat will be gone.

    Was just at a Walmart (first mistake), saw some burned out 90 something hippie on a segway wearing a John Cena t shirt.

    I want the attitude era back.

    Cornette is fucking awesome. I want to say it was in one of Foley's books about how Cornette after a show one night went completely ballistic in a fast food drive through. God I'd love to listen to some of his stories of being out on the road.

    To be fair, they shouldn't be saying "JUST BRING IT" at that age anyways.

    YES! There is a video of it! They had like ten guys in a van and went through the drive through, ordered a ton of food and when they pulled up to the window nobody came over for like...ten minutes. Someone finally came over and asked what they wanted. They said, our food? She said, oh, I thought that was a joke. He lost his shit and dog cussed her through the window. lol. He has some amazing stories man...I wish I could repeat some of them.

    found it!
