Totally agree on the write up Erin. Couldn’t believe how little time Eve & Maryse got, then they started rolling around and almost got the ref caught up in it (like the catfights usually did a few years ago)…at least Eve got in and broke up the submission. Looked like a good stiff kick too to Regal.

The Tamina/Natalya interaction was awesome. Stiff looking clothesline and a fantastic splash, that woman got higher than the Usos I think!

And I must be the only one in the WWE Universe (TM) who didn’t see the Alicia/Zack thing coming. I actually missed it since I was in the other room. But if it’s a breakup for them permanently, then I think it’s a good thing. Get her back in the title hunt or send her to SD and turn her face again.

i will have to go for maybe a Tri-Branded Golden Star Dreams Match Winner Gets A Future Oppurtunity At Any Belt Then As Hinted Alicia Wins Shockingly Attacks Lay-Cool Going Face and Goes To SD or A Build-Up maybe a 4 corner non title divas match.

He probably wears the same thing since he’s become somewhat of an internet celebrity. People know how he looks because he always wears his red hat and blue shirt. Its like his own self made gimmick. He has money to travel from show to show obviously, and he probably buys several of the same clothes. Its almost like that old book, “Where’s Waldo?” :)

I think that man is CRAZY.
Every other show hes there. He
always have a sign and wear the samething. lol

Notice a pattern here?

PS, my jaw literally dropped when I saw that sick clothesline Tamina hit on Natalya. Same goes for Alicia scissorkicking the fuck out of Ryder.

Alicia Fox looked like a hot mess last night and didnt sold the axe kick that well.

Aston Kucther as Raw Host ehhh not a fan of him but loved his Dude Where’s MY Car movie.

And Tamina IMPRESSED me when she gave NAttie a stiff clothsline. I hope to see great chemistry from these two. Finally Nattie is wrestling again :)

alicia could’ve hit that sissors kick better but it was ok

I like the idea of having a triple threat. It won’t be longer than 3 minutes anyway. They could have Nikki vs. Maryse vs. Gail Kim with Eve at commentary. Brie could be at ringside as well and at some point do the switch they’re known for. Maryse tried to cheat, Gail Kim takes her out and Brie gets her on the outside. Gail Kim pulled from behind with a surprise roll up by Nikki.

The following week they could have Maryse apologize to the Bellas and suggest they should work together against Eve. Because Eve is not “Championship material” and whatnot. Have them form an alliance to take out Eve.

So later that night its Eve vs. Nikki for the title with Maryse and Brie at ringside. Maryse becomes overzealous with her assistance causing a DQ for Nikki. Somehow they blame it on Eve and attack her. This brings out Gail Kim and Jillian Hall to even the odds.

Next week you’ve got a 6 woman tag match set up.

The next Monday this is followed by a divas battle royale to determine a new 1 contender for the ppv. Winner- Maryse with the help of the Bellas.

At the PPV- it will be Maryse vs. Eve in a no DQ match. The stipulation is really to have the Bellas help secure the win for Maryse.

I missed the days where the divas would feud and the superstars would feud and then they’d bring the two feuds together in a mix tag match. It makes sense to do that. Like back in the day when Lita was feuding with Trish and The Rock with Triple H and they had a mix tag match one night to bring them together. I love seeing two people who aren’t on teams to team up for one night. That they did right.

What they did wrong was use that as means to turn Kozlov to a face. That match was completely pointless because the divas were in the right for a few seconds. While I commend them for forming a mix tag team with four people who aren’t on tag teams, I hate how they did it. Pointless. Even the Santino talk before was stupid. I love Santino, I’d have his babies even..but that was beyond the definition of ‘stupid’. Next time you want to form a mix tag match, bring have it R-Truth and Eve vs Maryse and whomever R -Truth is feuding with. That would make more sense. That way we could get an actual match out of it and it’s a fresh way to handle their feud.

Speaking of the Maryse/Eve Feud. I agree. It has become stale. I wonder who’s writing this because they’re doing a terrible job (and I’m not one to openly say that) Not that i could do better but, –oh? Is …that a light bulb over my head? I think it is: instead of carrying on week after week with Eve vs Maryse because they’re feuding, they do something different. They could have a triple threat match (how long has it been since we’ve seen this in a diva’s match) for the No. 1 contender for the title and someone other than Maryse wins (Gail, Jillian, Bella(s) anyone other than Maryse). Then they could stop that whole ‘hold the no. 1 contender’s spot for weeks til the PPV bit’ and have that person face off against Eve that following Monday (she’s only defended her title once since she got it? That ain’t cute) — this is a great, fresh way to continue the Eve/Maryse feud because Maryse could come out and interfere and either get that person DQ’d because she attacked Eve openly or fail to have Eve lose because she either accidentally hit the other person when going for Eve or she hit Eve but when the person went for a pi, Eve rolled them up in a schoolboy.

That way they can carry on the feud without have to have the same exact match each and every week. There is so much they could do with this feud but it’s like the person writing it isn’t even trying anymore.

I saw the jitters in Tamina’s speech. But I love this feud. I’m hoping for weeks of outside the ring brawling and 6-person tag matches before a 1 on 1 match later on. I love it when valets feud and argue/fight outside the ring. Those are exciting. But her tag team were over the top! I also love how they didn’t show that guy slip when they did the clip from last week.

And I have a slight — SLIGHT crush on David Hart…..I don’t know where it came from, but…it’s there….

Maryse looked hot last night.
Eve botch more than anybody.

If Alicia does get release, I would be so pissed
at WWE. Alicia is a great wrestler,seller,and she
have chemistry.

I think she did great last night. The crowd was dead
because the “the hit” played out for so long and the fact
that Ryder guy is bad. I hope they have Alicia and Edge back
together they was somewhat together last night.

Uso’s brothers are not ghetto but they are kind of
thuggish. But they are so great so I dont care

Also so what if Alicia bounces all over the ring? Its more than I can say for Maryse’es flopping around like a fish after taking one move. Alicia can atleast get through a match. Did you happen to see Over The Limit? Sad excuse for a match..

I think those are good points. The Eve-Maryse angle started almost three months ago and is still going. It would have been impossible for them to feud that long without Maryse losing the title. I also expect Maryse to regain the title around the time Melina gets the okay to return.

What is the big deal with Alicia?? sure i like her but she is not that cool,
the most important thing she has done for me is the feud with mickie
besides that i think Jillian, Gail and Maryse are more Champ material..
everytime Alicia is in the ring she is flying all over the place like looking like a freakin giraffe with those skinny legs trying to stand up every moment..

And stop makeing little drafts over nowhere; Gail is not going to SD, neither Alicia or anyone else.. the draft was like 2 months ago.. we should WAIT LONGER..

The Maryse/Eve Feud..
1st of all, the reason for Eve to have the is because a title reign of 4 months would be so boring, so WWE gave the title to Eve, so Maryse can seek the title, and then when she becomes 3 TIMES DIVAS CHAMP.. tiiiiiin tiiiin ruaaaa (melina’s theme)
melina is coming back and then WWE would have the feud that was planned since JANUARY!..

as for Tamina; she is there to make a balance with Natalya; They both are more Vallet-3rd Team Member; SO THEY ARE NOT ANYWAY NEAR TO GET THE TITLE..

SD; WWE ALREADY SAID THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A NEW DIVA
NEW DIVA
NEW.. lets see.. new; having no previous example or precedent or parallel
so IS NOT A RAW DIVA.. ok?
is a new diva they are going to sign..

I thought the Eve/Maryse angle was one of the best parts of the night. But that was b/c Santino is such a loveable character. They were definitely overshadowed by their partners last night. Finally Alicia is getting her moment to shine. It’s great to see her come out of the background.

Umaga for instance, reminded me of Bane from the Batman and Robin movie. They tell him to destroy someone, and off he goes like an animal to attack and destroy. I realize Festus had that type of character as well, but it seems to follow the Samoans in particular.

SICK clothesline from Tamina!!! I see these 6 people giving us some good stuff out of this fued.

Ill agree she hasent been perfect in the ring since she returned, but who has? Even the top guys screw up on a regular basis. I feel Gail Kim is beautiful, talented and more capable than say..someone like Maryse. Now, I realize Maryse has got a good character and is able to generate heat, however, that’s only because she’s had a lot of time invested in her. Compared to other divas anyway.

I personally feel that Gail Kim would be a better heel as opposed to playing the one size fits all, vanilla babyface character they tend to give to most divas. She could possibly be a better heel than Maryse and even Michelle McCool. I recall her getting some major heat when facing Lita and Stratus. Ofcourse, one could argue it was largely due to the overness of both of those divas. Though I’ll just give her the benefit of the doubt, for now atleast.

And you just highlighted why i feel so strongly about this: They didn’t come across as eloquent or articulate. However, they did come across as if were doing an interview for some hip hop media outlet.

Whenever you say someone is ghetto or hood or if they maybe speak a bit of slang, not the overuse of it. people assume that you’re not intelligent and that you’re a part of the hip hop scene, which i also have issues with but that’s another story altogether.

I was in the high speed lane. haha

“More often than not the people being called ghetto are black and i find it a little upsetting is all”

But they are Samoans?

The main problem with that Uso’s promo is that it really didn’t do anything but be a bad promo. The twins (can someone give me some names? haha) came across like they didn’t know what the heck they were talking about. They didn’t come across as eloquent or articulate. However, they did come across as if were doing an interview for some hip hop media outlet.. Which kinda conflicts with the famed wrestling demographic (aka Southern, Mid-western areas). And I guess I was hearing another Tamina talk. She sounded screechy and scared. I really hope it was nerves because if it wasn’t, I don’t want to hear her talk again.

I don’t mind Maryse. Its her wrestling that sucks. And Eve tries atleast, but her dropkicks aren’t hitting their mark everytime. She also has no character. Id rather see Gail, Jillian, or A. Fox as Champion. Only because they usually are given nothing to do.

Oh God, I just had a horrible Nation of Domination flashback!, lmao!!!!

She’s not so bad. Wrestlers are usually not meant to be amazing actors. They’re supposed to exaggerate their movements so even the people in the cheap seats can see what’s going on.

I don’t think you can blame Gail’s lack of push on backstage stuff. Gail has been VERY lackluster since she came back last year.

Few things:
- Anyone else think Maryse should keep the jacket thing-y on as part of her attire? I think it looks great haha
- Someone please tell Eve to quit trying to do dropkicks
- Maybe Kozlov will be Maryse’s new bodyguard or something
- I really hope Tamina’s voice isn’t really that screechy and those were nerves last night
- That whole Wild Samoans Jr. promo was pretty bad. The delivery was bad. The content was bad.
- I guess I don’t see what is so great about Alicia. Her walk to the right last night seemed so forced. Her mannerisms seemed so forced. Everything. lol
- And can Alicia get a move that would result in her landing on her butt? It just looks really sloppy whenever she does her only move, you know

And, Andre, “ghetto” wasn’t originally used for black people..

ALICIA FOX nd her lovely legs…..Hmmmm mmmmm Iove alicia fox not onlydoes she deserve a push but she deserves the divas championship as well….I just hope wwe sees that…this just goes to show that wwe has to push maryse b cuz clearly this fued wont end ne time soon

@xxChristinaxx personally i’m tired of the word “ghetto” so carelessly thrown about when it comes to describing a wrestling character that has an urban slant or streetwise edge to them, as a black person I find it demeaning to minimize a character in such a way. For the record I was never a fan of Cryme Tyme although they were made to be a parody of a true ghetto lifestyle and mentality. I for one was not amused and saw them as par for the course when it comes to WWE’s treatment of wrestlers that come from diverse ethnic backgrounds and cultures.

the only things good about the mixed tag match to me were Eve’s back roll and thing ring work by Santino and Regal. I’m in total agreement with Erin in that Eve needs a new feud or the writers need to re work the current proceedings to make us care, maybe adding another Diva would give this program something for the fans to get excited about.

As for the final segment, saw it coming from a mile away, but it was fun, effective and really gave Alicia a stellar moment to shine, I hope WWE takes notice of what she was able to do last night and really invests more time in her, she’s a special talent.

both segments were good
i didn’t expect Alicia, but as soon as he dropped the mic i had a feeling she would do her finisher, I’m just wondering if that was a face turn for Alicia?

Tamina has been made to look real powerful, tripping the dynasty, taking down Natalya twice

and it’s nice she got to talk on the debut, her partners reminded me of cryme tyme… in sweater vests *shudders*

I agree with you about the tag team match. To me, it was just weird. And it served no purpose whatsoever. And for Maryse to go to the back with Koslav made even less sense. So I don’t know what is going to happen with their feud. I feel like creative has no idea what to even do next, which is sad. Maybe things can turn around next week…

I loved the promo with Tamina. She was shakey. But I am sure I would be to my first time talking in front of an audience like that. i am sure over time, she will get better. And that clothesline she did to Natayla was amazing.

I loved Alicia last night. But I wonder if they are even going to push her. I was getting into her little feud with Gail. But I guess they dropped that? So I am not sure what is going to happen next.

i do hope alicia isn’t a face now, unless she somehow gets traded to smackdown. and i agree, just like gail kim, it’s as if some people backstage like her but others don’t, as they both seem to get semi-pushes but then have them yanked away. it’s really cruel, ‘cos for instance, the jillian fans never have that slither of hope to begin with.

I don’t understand what goes through the brains of WWE’s Creative. I mean really..

A.Fox is obviously more capable than Maryse in the ring and can draw decent heat as well. Why not stick her in a Title feud? Really, there’s no good reason not to. These writers get paid good money, vacation and everything-to not do their jobs right. Pay me half of what they’re making and ill give you something good to watch. We’re not trying to figure out time travel here.
