Translation: We knew from the jump this was very disrespectful, but we went with it anyways thinking no one gives two fukks about the Divas. Out bad and we're passing a ton of blame on a talent that has little to no say about her overall career with the WWE.
:laugh: Breh they might have been taking hints from your sig.

Maybe Charlotte saw that she wasn't getting over and needed something. It would have worked if people cared about Reid. It was executed poorly.

complain about storylines being too ridiculous and ask for attitude era sh-t almost daily but be :angry: over this...
The stuff people want back from the attitude era is the excitement and overall more engaging product.

The main thing with this is them just going along with it without asking for consent from Reid's parents.

I mean it's stupid in general but them just straight up not caring what the parents would think about it is scummy but that's WWE in general. The business of wrestling is scummy and has been for a long time.

Lol this wasn't a field trip permission slip.

A grown ass man died, they can reference it.

That's why I don't exonerate Charlotte from this debacle as most fans are. I really don't think she cared as much about her half brother (I have one I care about but not vice versa who actually tries to undermine me to take up more family prestige) as much as people think as well. They all were probably trying to come up with something edgy, and she didn't think it all the way through, along with the brass.

The brass has shown, over and over again, that they don't give a shyt about Ric Flair, other than he can be a heat and legacy machine that they can use at times. They know the fans will ALWAYS love and respect him, and that can bury talent, so they use him sparingly. He could easily, and wanted to, be a manager for a talent that needs a catalyst to get over a bit...like Ziggler and Cesaro.

They have good reason for this - Flair has embarrassed them over and over again. He's been visibly drunk on TV recently for one thing.

I was listening to a Wrestling Inc podcast with Russo yesterday and he said Flair's solution for Reid's heroin problems was to try to get him a TNA tryout. I find it hard to feel sorry for Flair in this situation.

Reference it :hula:Mock a dead man
A heel mocked him and the face got revenge right away. Charlotte's entire gimmick being "my family" since day 1. Where else are they gonna go?

This IS interesting if executed right.

Charlotte- zero acting ability or charisma, Paige- very little acting ability. Needed a Nikki Bella to make it work
That's the thing neither performer is interesting by themselves so they resort to doing stuff like this to try and make the feud work. But if it fails regardless then what was the point?

You're right though, Nikki Bella saying it would probably have actually gotten some heat. But overall it's just another uninteresting divas feud. The 3 NXT women all being brought up at the same time was dumb anyway. They don't have a plan for the women and are desperate to draw interest, their efforts are ultimately futile.
