There is a difference between 'talent' and 'worthwhile division.' Natalya is very good at what she does. Most of the ladies on the main roster are. But that doesn't mean that they've been given anything more meaningful to showcase those talents than 'farts' or 'dances with Fandango and gets mad when others dance with Fandango' or 'dresses like opponent to play mind games with her I still don't understand how that works.' But when a new competitor is heralded as the daughter of Ric Flair and as the best of what NXT's Women's Division has to offer, you don't book her to lose against Natalya Neidfarts. And I know that farting happened ages ago but 1. it was her last defining character development and 2. Natalya Neidfarts is a delightful thing to say and type. You especially don't book her to lose when the point of her wrestling is to plug the NXT Special which in turn is a plug to get people to order the WWE Network. Eh, complaining that the WWE doesn't use logic and common sense is the dumbest thing in the world. It's like yelling WHY DON'T YOU WALK at a baby that can't walk because it's still got those chubby 'all i do is sit' legs and just wants to hang out and chew on that green plastic thing.

They were going to keep Ambrose out, but someone saw him running the ropes earlier so he got cleared. I haven't watched a second of Raw the last two weeks, and hearing that Charlotte jobbed in two minutes makes me glad I haven't. They should be promoting NXT as something worth getting the Network for instead of making it's women's champ look like a jobber. Because putting the NXT champ over a Diva's wrestler on the main roster makes the main roster look weaker than the NXT roster. Charlotte needed to job because NXT is the 'minor league' to RAW/Smackdown. When the NXT wrestlers come up they have to start at the bottom rung of the ladder. It is just like baseball or hockey, when top prospects come up they have to start at the bottom. Yes, there are exceptions but those are few and far between. They look good in the minors because they are minor league players playing against players with similar and lesser talents. It's not like there is a main roster diva ladder. It's AJ and then a bunch of women who sometimes dance with Fandango and yell girl bye. The last noteworthy thing that major league Natalya did besides LOSE her minor league match for the minor league NXT title to minor league Charlotte on minor league NXT was fart a bunch. This would be like Neville debuting and Titus beating him in three minutes. And she didn't look like a star. She looked like a wrestler that debuted and lost her wrestling match. THE NEW DAY doesn't look like stars because they had some video packages and love to have fun with the WWE Universe. They look like losers who got together and formed a trio and then lost more on their debut.

Why have Charlotte wrestle a Raw Diva on Raw if she has to lose? Just have her wrestle Becky Lynch. Or shit, let her beat Summer Rae and AJ can beat Natalya. So, so stupid. Look at this jobber with a nothing belt that can't beat the woman she be the belt because it's Raw and that changes things I guess! Flair's daughter can't beat fart girl, Maggle! Don't miss NXT ON THE WWE NETWORK I skipped around the show because I really only wanted to see her debut, stopped on a random moment to hear Cole shout 'It's Big Show, Erik Rowan's nemesis.' It's so weird to watch a clip of the Shield breaking up, the last time I was probably actually invested in what was happening, and realize that it wasn't all that long ago. I feel like they're punishing us for watching right now, so I think I'm gonna take the standard internet 'why watch if u HATE IT' response's advice and take a break. Time to tap out until the Rumble.

I feel like both of them are pretty safe, boring choices. Marvel has had such a great track record of making their own stars that I wish they had gone with a lower tier or a next to no name.

They would be a fantastic jobber team for the Steiners to eat in 1993.

Those Kevin Owens videos are amazing. Maybe 4 minutes of total running time and we know everything we need to know about him coming in. He does this for his family. He does this because it's all he's good at. He came up with this current crop of stars and is finally getting his shot. He has no back up plan. I'm on board and it didn't like 35 minutes of Raw promo time.

Which Albert would still try and pronounce as Minotaur because he doesn't understand what puns are.

This line was the ID of every pro wrestling alive

I have so many questions

Guys, forget CM Punk. Something really important has happened. http://youtu.be/dZz72LZMjVo

I love contrasting this to Punk's interview where he's basically like 'I hope you like having your ideas stolen for other guys'

OL BLUE PANTS!! http://levabates.mixform.com/

Apparently the original pitch was 'black nerd trio." No WAY Vince was going to let them run with that.

He is concerned with ethics in pro wrestling journalism.

I think that the AJ thing is more a case of the writers not giving a damn about 75% of the roster. It's hard to tell who is heel and who is face when the writers probably don't care. "I dunno make them dress like each other or something. I have to take my kid to Big Hero 6 for the 8th time."

I was like 35% on board and then a white lady in Native American warpaint rolled in. The Rooney Mara Tiger Lily thing was pretty controversial while production was going on. I imagine it's going to continue. I had forgotten all about it and the character posters rolled out. She looks like Etsy took a Thanksgiving shit on her.

Lock the thread. It gets no better than this post.

Bray broken into the dusty old file room under titan tower "Hey Bray, what are you doing the confidential basement files?"

It would be refreshing if neither of them turn. If they go all out at Takeover, only to have Neville realize he's going to have to cheat to win, finally refuse to do it, and then lose cleanly to his friend, that would be perfect. Honestly, it's a finish we rarely get, 'grr I lost' heel turns are boring and predictable, and both guys are so money as underdog babyfaces on the main roster. The Bret Hart vs. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper match at WrestleMania is one of the best examples of this type of match. Such an awesome story, where Piper refuses to abide by his inner demons despite the temptation, only to cost him the IC Title. Super underrated match Which I've never watched for some reason. TO THE NETWORK!

That Enzo/Big Cass promo saved the show. EDIT FOR IMPORTANT UPDATE: that sami/neville segment was ok too i guess if you like that sort of thing

My favorite thing about this show is that it's not just pretaped, it was created, written, and taped with a story in mind. They are taking us from point A to point B. At no point have I felt like 'oh they're burying that guy' or 'man he is underutilized' or any of that armchair 'why is this happening to Cesaro?' stuff that we can't help but go through as fans, because everything everyone is doing serves the story. It's a refreshing approach to wrestling, and it's about time our sport caught up to a generation obsessed with Game of Thrones and True Detective.

As long as Scott shows us the math that justifies his role at the PPV he's welcome to do anything he wants.

I'd put money on Kane getting the Mike Knox treatment. I see Big Show and Mark Henry fighting to a double countout. HBK going, "who was that guy" after the SCM was awesome. I hate myself for how much I love this stupid match.
