Glad Tiffany Stratton squashed Wendy Choo on NXT. How I hate that Sleepytime Crapola.
I know we're divided on Choo's gimmick, but I think we both agree that Stratton looks smoking hot no matter whose ass she is kicking.

I would have liked it if they ran with the backstage brawl angle a little longer. I like the occasional hardcore-style match where they fight throughout the arena.

Not a fan or hater of her yet, maybe i need time for her to grow on me, but i do love her guns. Is she from a bodybuilder background like Ivy Nile?

Not only does she have a bodybuilding background, but she's also a former elite-level gymnast, hence those acrobatic moves you see. I've seen some profiles mention some MMA stuff, but nothing concrete. But with the power of Bianca and the flexibility of Katana, she has the potential to do it all. Plus she has the looks which we know the bookers like, so creative will always have something for her even if the valley-girl gimmick ends.

I also wanted to show some love for that trashcan spot at Raw. Easily PPV quality. Not only was it fun to watch, but kudos to Becks for being able to take the hits while going in blind. It's really hard not being able to brace yourself for the moment of impact, and the dents show that Asuka wasn't pulling her kicks.

No offense but I'm still scratching my head at why anybody would like Wendy Choo's Sleepytime gimmick. Too much Babyface Sorcery as her moves work better because she's just so sleepy. I hope Tiffany drops her on her dome through a table with a Psycho Driver.

To each their own, right? You could argue the same about Kane/Taker's "superpowers", Bliss' whole shtick, etc.
To me, I appreciate the subtleties and dedication to the gimmick. Take Cora- She's supposedly a skater, but apart from literally riding a board for a fraction of a second during her entrance, there's no reference to her character. None of her moves have any reference either. She might have used the skateboard as a weapon once or so, but that's about it.

Choo on the other hand, has used sleep-related stuff as weapons all the time, from pillows to slushies. She's also incorporated the "sleepytime" into her moveset: every time she does a crossbody or even an elbow drop, she weaves it in.

Stratton blowing kisses and using gymnastics moves during the match, Katana (while she was Kacy) referenced Ninja warrior during her entrance & moveset, all these are other examples too. NXT gives you a chance to be more liberal with your character and gimmick. You can get away with a lot more, so I want to see them take advantage of it. IMO Choo's character does that.
 
To each their own, right?

I know. You're right. I've always been more a fan of the heels and I think it's the cheap babyface advantage tactics that bug me. I hope Tiffany loads her up with meth and defeats her supersleepypowers.

Don't get me started with Katana and her ugly toad partner. Throw them both in the dumpster then set it on fire.
 
Did you know a bidet company tried to hire Nia Jax? I'm not sure if a broken fire hydrant could hose off her entire starfish. Probably looks like one of those Detroit Deep Dish Pepperoni Pizzas from Little Caesars.
 
I did not need that mental image...

Dino, I will ask you to post a palette cleanser to get that out of my head.
 
Some web-sleuths seemed to have determined who the mystery woman is that VKM banged & paid out millions to.
Reports say that he "coerced this woman into having oral sex, then demoted her and didn't renew her deal when she rejected further advances".
https://twitter.com/seanrosssapp/status/1545414853015265281?s=21&t=JwUORZODK5pYQsaWUbDgLQ

So that narrows it to Jackie Gayda, Molly Holly, Dawn Marie, Christy Hemme and Joy Giovanni

Molly is still with WWE, so not her.
Jackie & Joy were so low they really couldn't be "demoted"
Dawn Marie was pregnant and gave birth in 2005, and no allegations that the kid is his. Plus I don't see VKM having a preggers fetish.
Christy Hemme was released after they "wanted her to go back to OVW".

So Christy seems like the prime candidate. Then they dug up an interview she gave re her release:

https://411mania.com/wrestling/more...estler-ae-biographies-hemme-on-wwe-departure/
“My departure from WWE was on my own terms because I stuck to my guns on my morals and values as a human being. I knew in my gut that it would be the end, but I also knew that carrying guilt for knowingly doing something against what I believed wasn’t worth getting ahead. Leaving broke my heart… but doing the right thing is something I will always be proud of.”

Yeah, I think we have a winner.

I always wonder how Sarray is able to do that without legitimately injuring her opponent.
 
Yes but what i mean is on Sarray's knees there pads so there less impact to Xia's face compared to if she did that move with no pads at all
Sorry, maybe I'm not doing a good job illustrating it. I think you'll get a better picture if you watch Sarray's matches to see what I mean. She's doing a running double dropkick literally into your face, so unless there's padding on the bottom of her feet, there's nothing stopping the impact.

Yet you never hear any injuries from anyone working with Sarray. So she's doing something really well.
 
I have stopped to watch nxt, I've tried to watch nxt American bash thinking it would be better...
I have stopped to watch after Stratton vs Choo, Toxic vs Cora and Perez wasn't good, the second match Trick something vs Lee was terrible! then Stratton vs Choo the match started in picture and picture and we don't even saw the end of the match! Fuck NXT2.0 this show really sucks!!!
Is worst than SD and Raw it tells a lot!
I hate what WWE have become! crappy characters, storyline made for 5 years old childs and bad matches!
I rather prefer watch impact wrestling! it's a indy show now but at least they give us good matches!

AEW and NJPW are the two best at the moment.
I hope to see Sasha Banks all elite very soon and others follow!

Considering that Japanese wrestlers can be stiff
True, but you can also look at Asuka and her kicks which look/sound like they can legitimately paralyze someone, and yet no one has been injured by her. I agree that Japanese work very stiff, but that's usually more when they wrestle in Japan. They seem to adjust their style to WWE very well.

Compare that to Jax who is a walking negligence lawsuit, or even Banks who managed to end the career of one of WWE's youngest stars with 1 kick.
