What do you hope WWE does and does not do with Bayley, if and when she's signed, to the main roster? I hope they change nothing about her character, keep the tube men, and book her as a role model that doesn't have to be sexy or a "diva" in order to get over. She could make Vince a ton of money if they book her to be sort of a female equivalent to Cena. Let her work with the Make-A-Wish foundation, have her sell tons of merchandise, and let her legitimize the diva's division. It's a no brainier to me, but I'm sure Vince will have his opinions. Kind of a headache to me as to why she isn't already signed. Your thoughts?
I agree with you. She is perfect as is. Then again, so was Sasha and Vince couldn’t leave well enough alone with her so it does scare me that they will ruin Bayley too.
Could it be that the New Day is slowly (maybe not so slowly) evolving into a similar position in which the Rock was in 1999, as in officially being heel but just being way too entertaining to actually make fans boo them?
I could see it happening. They are fun to watch and do a good job. I hope if it happens organically that WWE just goes along with it and doesn’t try and force them being heels on the crowd. To me, an over act is an over act.
Do you think Sinclair is making money with ROH?
Given that ROH is a TV product owned by a TV company, it’s hard to say as accounting would have a lot to say about that (as it did with WCW when they were owned by Turner). From everything I have been told, Sinclair is very happy with ROH and that tells me they are happy with their investment. That is what is important.
You said before that you didn't think it was a good idea to turn Roman or Ambrose because of lack of faces WWE has. So why do you think WWE is trying to turn Charlotte when the woman's division seems to have less strong faces?
I’ve got nothing other than it’s par for the course where WWE and the Divas are concerned. Paige, the Bellas….how many times have they turned, and how many times has there never been a reason given as to why? A lot. It’s sad, but WWE just doesn’t seem to care about continuity where the women are concerned.
I'm getting so sick of Steph lashing out on wrestlers, and now the pummeling she gave Tom Phillips. I know this is supposed to be an act, but with the recent direction WWE have been taking for a while, PG and all, I'm tired of watching her using violence as if it's ok for a woman to hit a man. I know that they can't punch her back, and I don't want that either, but shouldn't it be "equal rights" on the matter? They don't want their younger fans going around thinking it's ok for a woman to hit a man, would they? It's time to have her get pummeled back, so I hope they are introducing a female character into that "storyline" soon. If they do bring in a woman to fight Steph for her idiotic slapfest, who should it be?
Yep, in 2015 WWE can’t have a man hit her as it would cause a crap storm for them. So I agree it is not a good move to have her hitting men (especially when logically it’s grounds for a lawsuit if the boss and owner does that). Mike Eps and I talked about the subject a lot on Saturday’s show for those interested. There are a few ways they could do it. They could have a bigger wrestler, like say Nia Jax, basically intimidate her into not getting involved. Or, they could have a smaller wrestler actually work her over since it would kill the sympathy factor for Steph. They probably figure that her not getting her way is payback enough, but it just isn’t. If she keeps hitting people, she needs to be hit back.
