That is what happens when you have scripted promos. Most of them can't ad lib away from their talking points.

That's why promos nowadays don't flow well and bounce off of each other very well. They try to script this like it's a soap opera and you can't do that in pro-wrestling.

Especially when the crowd isn't feeling it. Need to be able to change it up to reel them back in. You have the crowd shytting on promos and the talent just keeps sticking to the script

WWE's problem is they are trying to pander to the wrong people. They're embracing bs stereotypes about Pro Wrestling in an attempt to be accepted by the Hollywood types, who are notorious for bandwagoning. They should just focus on putting on good shows. The bandwagoners will come.

i dont blame them.

they have some type of spell on their core audience who support their product religiously, knowing that its under par.

if you got your core locked like that, then you might as well pander. its like a whore husband having a wife with no self-esteem.

If she doesn't win Sunday I'm definitely taking a long break from this racist ass company. Paige and Nikki have no business winning.

deep down, i want her to lose, just to see how people react.

especially on this site. i never understood why a supposed hip-hop board rides for this company like this. especially a board like this where people are aware of the back-door f*ckery, and not only that but they acknowledge that the shows are wack, yet still continue to watch year-in & year-out.

i mean, i could at least see if the wwe was in the midst of a great era and you might not want to miss out. but dammit man. they havnt had a great product in over a decade.

meanwhile, theres "the competition" giving people everything they want. even catering to the black. and yet, it gets ignored - EVEN ON THIS SITE.

I think it's because we like wrestling and this is the home of many fond memories growing up. Plus every now and then they have glimmers of greatness.

I agree with you for the most part though.

Nikki is okay but I never can believe anything she does. Both Bellas are so mechanical. It's like you can hear her inner thoughts going ... "1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & ... Rack Attack, angry face, hold the belt"

Exactly how I feel.

She just doesn't strike me as a natural at this.

Honestly...Reigns often comes off just as mechanical to me....:sas2:

Didn't watch. They take the company's real life racial issues and use it for an angle while simultaneously not doing anything about the reality of it behind the scenes.:francis:

Haven't watched since the day after Mania and am unlikely to return. :francis:

:clap:

It's almost like Stockholm Syndrome. There are too many fans that like wrestling but think WWE is the only option.

She botched again tonight, totally missed her cue. You could see Paige waiting for her and then she attacks in front of the ref which made him look stupid. :snoop: But the whole match was a Botchamaina episode.

Yes Paige did botch again. I don't understand why people say Naomi botches a lot when she doesn't, but somewhere along the way she started getting blamed for others not being able to sell. In actuality she should botch more than the others since she does more.
