NXT 2015 THREAD

Is there a woman wrestling today with 15 years of experience?

 

Serious question. I feel like I'm overlooking someone obvious.

Pretty sure there are plenty of women in Mexico and Japan who have been working 15 years or longer in the business.

Of course, the biggest fallacy in this entire thing is the idea that a female wrestler can only learn from a female wrestler. Sure they can only wrestle them (in theory), but the entire point of the NXT training deal is the level of trainers there. I strongly doubt that if Jessie McKay asks William Regal for advice he's going to respond "I'd love to help you Jessie, but you have a Vagina, and thus aren't in my juristicton."

 

Imagining that said in Regal's voice... I want a Proper Gentleman Misogynist angle with him now.

I'm a big fan of Sasha Banks, but am not inclined to rank her or anybody else.  It's all subjective anyway.  But I do predict two things:

 

1. She'll find a way into next year's March Madness.

2. She'll either win it all or come extremely close.

The big roster angle with the women is Paige looking for two people to even the score against the Bellas and Alicia Fox. Paige recruiting Sasha and Charlotte as her partners is the pretty obvious choice.

But Cageside also said the WWE is looking for a big summer angle, and it might revolve around those two. THAT would be awesome and a lot of faith they can deliver in that spot. I wonder if they'll have a miini-woman's Nexus sort of thing (or the Hwhere Paige/Sasha/Charlotte just wreck shop. And if it is the main summer angle, when was the last time the WWE gave such a huge chance to women in something not involving Steph? I think the Trish/Lita feud?

I just hope The Bellas are ready to step it up a whole lot if this is the case.

Bayley worked the latest NXT house show with a soft cast so I guess she's back full time. Now we just have to get Becky back healthy.

 

How insane is the heat gong to be for Eva Marie's matches? Just imagine the reaction to Eva vs Bayley or Blue Pants. The Bellas coming to NXT would probably rival Lawler showing up in ECW lol. I think it's awesome how much women's wrestling is discussed in this thread.

 

 

Greg I would have a lot more confidence in the big angle with the NXT women if they were working each other. Maybe they turn Sasha heel, and bring up Bayley for the face side. I don't see it being the main angle with Brock around, but hopefully HHH gets to book it.

I think match-wise they'll be alright. Alicia Fox is good. I'm pretty sure that's why they would shoehorn her into the angle. Nikki's at least decent in the ring now. I don't remember any Brie matches as of late but as long as she doesn't screw anything up.

 

I'm more worried about the mic work for it. Sasha's become a pretty good talker. Paige is decent, too. Charlotte not-so-much. The Bellas are AWFUL though. And Alicia I have no idea about except when she's pouring soda over her head.

I think depending on how much heat Eva gets will determine how quickly she gets a title shot against Sasha. While Brooklyn Takeover should have Becky/Sasha 2, if they're gonna bring up the NXT Horsewomen, I could see them go for Sasha/Eva with possible Bella-ference accidentally on purpose giving the NXT Women's Title to Eva Marie.

 

Of course the problem with that is assuming the Horsewomen get called up, the only faces left are Carmella and Blue Pants

 

EDIT: You could also have all four NXT Horsewomen debut and take out the Bellas/Fox/Paige and build to a Survivor Series match between Team WWE Diva and the NXT Horsewomen

I think people will be very surprised how little time it takes Jessie McKay to be considered the "next" NXT Super Diva of the future. She won't be Sasha (because who is), but she's very talented already.

By that same token- especially if Charlotte/Sasha and/or the Horsewomen are about ready to be called up, and Takeover being in the Barclays Center makes the longstanding "Why not let the NXT women main event Takeover?" question a little unfeasible at least for this go-round, wouldn't the best option to replenish the women and push the main event back to December for more time seem to be "Have Balor/Owens main event in Brooklyn- but in exchange, give Jessie McKay the token 'Indy Standout makes their NXT Debut at Takeover' match instead of Uhaa Nation" for a somewhat equivalent honor for the women?

Yeah, Paige bringing up Sasha, Charlotte, and Becky Lynch to form the Four Horsewomen is the obvious play. 

 

I hope HHH can protect them from the typical shitty booking of women on the show.

I would actually love it if Bailey came up with this group somehow and was lured by whoever they're feuding with because she's such a fangirl and turned on/humiliated. That would actually be the ideal way to introduce Bailey.

Man, I don't know about that. Also, the way you wrote that sentence makes Bayley sound like she'll turn based on a BDSM relationship, which you know, ew.

 

I think you have the Four Horsewomen come up and start wrecking all the women, who are soooooo hormonal like all women are, you know, and thus can't put up a unified front. Then, as it looks darkest for the women who have been invaded, Bayley comes up and shows them all how to be actual faces that act like good guys from week to week. Bayley's intervention shows the Bellas how to stop flipping from face to heel to face to heel each week and just become good guys. This newfound virtue, also known as being a decent human being, helps the women, led by Bayley and the Bellas, to come back and win the feud over the Four Horsewomen.

 

As an epilogue, we have a backstage segment where all the women come up and thank Bayley for reminding them what a regular person actually acts like and saving them from being outdated stereotypes about how crazy women are. They all leave after thanking Bayley, who then looks offscreen in the other direction and says, "Really, they should be thanking you. I couldn't have done this without your guidance." Camera pans over to show Sting, the ultimate good guy. "The student has become the master," he says. Bayley smiles and hugs him and then leaves. Sting looks after her, smiling as well, ensured in the knowledge that there is at least one good, pure soul in this company who can deal with the constant betrayals and deceit and remain a good, ethical person deep down.

 

Book that shit, please.

Kong's broken down. Her in WWE wouldn't have lasted long anyway.

 

To be fair, if Kharma was still in the WWE, she would've been able to have the back surgery she's needed for a year.

My only problem with this angle is there is very little chance the Horsewomen will get over as heels over the current divas. Every smark in the crowd will be going nuts for them, and sooner or later (sooner. Certainly sooner) they will realize those 4 are just flat better then their competitors. We live in an age right now that New = Good.
