AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT SEES THIS? and SURVIVOR SERIES PREDICTIONS

So this Sunday (11/20/2016) we got Survivor's Series, which was originally WWE's answer to WCW's Starrcade. That is if you watched the Starrcade DVD, never mind. The PPV that is the same age as I am, 29, has struck some controversy because it seems like story lines has been thrown out the window. It seems the Universe of smarks are up in arms because some of the rivalries have been put on pause due to the traditional survivor series tag matches.

I feel like I'm the only one that doesn't see this as a big deal. They're fighting for a greater cause of showing brand loyalty. They're putting differences aside to defend the brand. To me, it's kinda like the Olympics. Like look at the basketball team. You got players from rival teams that played together to play for their country. Remember the original dream team? Magic Johnson, Larry Byrd, Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, and them boys came together to win a gold medal. They put differences aside for the greater good of representing America. When Jordan was playing on the dream team, he wasn't representing the Chicago Bulls, He was representing America. Magic wasn't representing the Lakers, etc. So I see what's WWE's doing.

I don't mind that I saw Bayley coming to SmackDown to help being down a member of Smackdown's Women's team. For the greater good of her brand. She's representing her brand. Again I may be on my own on this, but I'm not mad at that. I also get the Stephanie McMahon playing the dictator role saying that if anyone messes up, they'll be punished. I get it. Now I get it that Stephanie has taken Big Show's gimmick and has turned heel and face like 20 times since the brand split started, but that's neither here nor there.

After Survivor's Series everything's going back to normal. But for this one cause, differences are put aside for the greater good of being on the best brand.

Now since I got more space, let me do some predictions, which I never do.

Brian Kendrick (raw) vs Kalisto (SDLive) for the Cruiserweight Championship - I see this being a new start for Kalisto and the Cruiserweight Championship. If Kalisto wins, the championship and the division gets moved to SD which makes since due to that new 205 show coming out. So I see Kalisto winning this.

Miz (Smackdown) vs Sami Zayn (Raw) for the IC Title - I think Zayn is winning. Even though this is the best work Miz has done. Even better than his work with John Morrison. But with Zayn winning that means Smackdown would need a new secondary title. So I don't know. Maybe for that reason Miz retains, but I'm still giving it to Zayn.

Team RAW vs Team SDLive, Tag Team elimination match - I give Team SD this win. I think Team SD has the stronger division, I know New Day is going for the record, and all that, but I think SDLive wins this one.

Team RAW vs Team SDLive Women's elimination SS match - I think Raw wins this hands down. They got 3 of the 4 horsewomen, and they got Nia Jax. I think SD will get some eliminations, and Natayla will get involved somehow, but RAW has this one in the bag.

Team RAW vs Team SDLive Men's elimination SS match - this one is a coin flip for me. I want to say SDLive wins just to pick a side, but I think RAW might win in order to create more storyline with the Undertaker on SDLive. But I'm going with SDLive for the upset win here. There I said it.

Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar - And now for the main event (uh) of the evening (uh)...see what I did there? Bill Goldberg returning for his "last match" against Lesnar. Since obviously the first match they had went so well at WrestleMania 20. Sarcasm there. I remember watching that match on PPV, both men got booed out of Madison Square Garden. It was brutal. I didn't like this idea when I first read the rumors because of how bad the match went at first. I see Brock winning. Not that Brock needs it, but I think Brock is going over. I don't see it being dominate but I see a hard hitting match with Brock winning.

So that's my thoughts, If you disagree, find me on Twitter @D_Rich864, or on Facebook.com/bigdusty. Or just comment down below how much of a mark I am and all that nonsense.

The WWE Draft: WHERE-IS-BAYLEY?!!?!!?!?!!?!!?!!?!!?

The build up for the draft was better than the actual draft. The build up from WWE and the dirtsheets I was expecting a night to remember. Honestly, the December to Dismember was more memorable.

First let's look at the positives. Fin Balor is going to RAW. American Alpha is going to Smackdown. Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Cesaro are on the same roster. I expect great matches out of that. Sasha Banks gets drafted to RAW after saying she wanted to go to Smackdown, but she's on the same roster as Charlotte. So we get to see that feud build up to a championship match with Sasha hopefully going over. Also a positive Stephanie McMahon's dress. Yep. Also the New Day is still in tact on RAW as a team. I don't think anybody wanted to see them split. Naomi, aka Trinity Fatu got drafted to Smackdown. I really do hope this is a start of a big push for her. AJ Styles is on Smackdown. Could be good. Heath Slater not drafted, and then the camera shot at the end. Hilarious.

And now...let's start with the flubbed lines by both Shane and Stephanie. And they are supposed to be "running" the show. Stephanie trying to over sell every draft pick they made on the show was just bad. Bad shouldn't have been done. I now understand why Vince wants to script every line. I get it now Vince.

Roman Reigns got drafted to a massive boo. Such a boo for a top baby face, huh? Turn him heel WWE, turn the man heel. It took way to long for Cesaro to get drafted. Easily a top 10 guy. But Cesaro ended up being a 6th round pick. That's a way to put the guy over the top. The Golden Truth is still a tag-team. Let that sink in.

Don't get me wrong. I'm a big R Truth fan. I'm a Golddust fan. I'm not a fan of the tag team. Each guy can carry a match on their own. They're good in the ring as individuals. But just not a fan of the team.

Nia Jax, Alexa Bliss, Eva (yes that one) Marie, Carmella all drafted. Everyone, just about, was waiting to hear Bayley's name. Guess what? We're still waiting. Well, at least we'll get Bayley vs Asuka at least one more time. That should be good. Bayley gets a rematch for the NXT Women's Title. So there's that. But still. Heel move by the WWE on that one. Getting everyone's hope up, and...nothing. Eva Marie? Really? Like her and Dana Brooke on are the "main roster" and Asuka and Bayley are still in NXT. Again just going to let that sink in. 

All this is my opinion. Just another wrestling fan with access to the Internet and a way to put my opinion out there.

SUMMERSLAM: SHUT THAT KID UP!!

Ladies and gentlemen...my name is Daniel Richerson, and Summerslam just went off the air. What a night it was. Starting off with the IC title match. Miz vs Ziggler. I honestly had to rewatch this match because during the match my cpu froze and I had to restart my cpu. Mr. Ziggles won.

So then you had Paige vs AJ Lee. These two wrestlers that happen to be in the divas division tore the house down. Paige definitely got some men's attention during this match. AJ put up a heck of a fight and had her submission move on and Paige countered it with a crazy version of a DDT and got the 3 count. New champion. Also Michelle Beadle was at ringside. If you know the story between AJ, CM Punk, and Michelle Beadle, then you know why I say that Beadle had a hand in AJ losing. WWE book it!

Now the flag match. This match was a match I feel that Swagger should win because of all the mess that's happening in this country, USA needed something to cheer about. First let's talk about the how it began. Russev waved his flag, and Swagger was waving his flag and Russev attacked Swagger which caused the flag to fall to the mat. JBL was pissed when that happened. JBL loves America. So in my mind I thought it would be a mistake if Russev won. Sure enough Russev won. I understand heat, but this may be a bit much. The match itself, it was solid, but nothing to brag about.

Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins was a match when I saw it on the card I thought it was going to be a show stealer, and for most of the match it was. It wSent in to the crowd. It was a great match back in forth. Then the waste of time Kane had to make an appearance. Kane ruined what was a classic match. Ambrose hit Rollins finisher and had the pin and Kane interfered and caused an fight among the lumberjacks the ring. And the finish was Rollins hitting Ambrose with the MITB briefcase. I hated it. Kane ruined the match. I hated that spot.

Bray Wyatt vs Jericho I thought on paper had a lot of potential. Turns out the match was boring. A few high spots here and there, but over all it was a bore. The only good thing that happened is Bray got the win.

Stephanie vs Brie was a fun watch. Stephanie ring attire was...sexy. I'll say it. Stephanie looked sexy. Brie looked anorexic. Brie looked hungry being in the ring with Stephanie.  Nikki turned on Brie and Stephanie got the W. I saw that coming. Jim Ross saw that coming too. It was a good match for what it was. Stephanie was actually getting more cheers than Brie until Triple H came out and Nikki made the turn.

Roman Reigns vs Randy Orton. During the pre show Ric Flair said Randy Orton was the best in the business today. I thought Flair was drunk. Orton showed out in this match. I still won't call him the best, but he's definitely in the top 5. Who do I say is the best? AJ Styles. Just my opinion. Anyway back to the match. The crowd went Cena on Reigns for some reason. They started to boo him. I actually like Roman. Yes, he has a lot of work to do, but he has the look. Roman won and he should've won. Like it or not, Roman is the next it guy.

And now...Brock Lesnar vs John Cena...total domination by Brock. John Cena went out like a jobber or "enhancement guy." I have to give my respect to John Cena. He's a top guy. He didn't have to go out like that, but Cena was like screw it, I'll take the loss. Brock Lesnar handed Cena 16 German suplexes. 16. My Goodness. Not to mention there was this little kid chanting, "Let's go Cena!" Everybody on Twitter wanted this kid to shut up. And thank God Brock made that happen. Also that poor mark of a sign guy. He tried to start one of those slow claps for Cena, and needless to say it didn't work. Justin Credible wasn't a fan of how Cena lost, but like I said, I like the way Cena lost. It was different, and Cena needed something different in his career. 15 time champ, he's had his time. He's a hall of famer, no doubt. Is Cena done? I don't think so. But with Nikki going heel, we just might see--just might see--Cena go heel? Just saying...

MITB: Cena wins again!

First let's go to the start of the show which was the tag team title match. What a classic this match was. It's awesome to see WWE  put some interest back in the tag teams again. The Usos and the Wyatts started the show with a bang. Rikishi has to be proud of his boys. They were taught well.

Now to a match that I think got under appreciated by the fans. The Divas Championship match. I know this is coming from a guy that has been very critical of the divas division in the past, but I gotta say, Naomi and Paige put on a solid match at Money in the Bank. Cameron playing the part on the outside of the ring is obviously building to a turn. My only issue is that Cameron or Ariane Andrew is kafabing on her instagram account which is not even a gimmick account. It makes no sense, and it tells me she knows nothing about the wrestling business. If you're going to kayfabe at least do it under a gimmick account. Not to mention that the business is so wide open now anyway. So trying to kayfabe in 2014 is not going to be easy to begin with. But again as far as the match itself? Solid match.

Adam Rose vs Paul Revere aka Damien Sandow. This was obviously a filler. I got to give respect to Sandow. Get your money Sandow. This poor guy has been doing some ridiculous things for months now, and yet he still shows up to work everyday. If I can be honest I like the Adam Rose gimmick. He's over with the crowd. Yes he has some growing to do but who doesn't? But I like the road he's taking. Personally. This match was ehh.

Now the Money In The Bank contract match. I have to be honest I really didn't pay attention to this one but from what I did see, it was another classic ladder match in the WWE. The rivalry between Ambrose and Rollins is only just beginning and I think this is going to be the WM main event for years to come. Let me talk about Ambrose for a sec. Ambrose is like a mix of Roddy Piper and the late great Brian Pillman. His promo skills are refreshing. This guy is money in my opinion. Seth Rollins formerly known as Tyler Black has always had "it." I've been a fan of his since his days in Ring of Honor. Seth Rollins in the ring reminds me of CM Punk. His promo skills need work, but again, that will come with time. Rollins wins the MITB.

The Rhodes brothers vs Rybaxel. I don't know how to feel about this Stardust gimmick yet. I can't really say I like or dislike it. But the Rhodes brothers obviously have chemistry. The Rybaxel team's a total waste in my opinion. So was this match, although I did like the spot when Ryback was getting crowd to chant feed me more and Ryback looks at the crowd and sayid, "I still got it."

Big E vs Russev. It happened. what else can I say? I think this whole Russev storyline needs a hero and Big E is not it. Especially with this baptist preacher type promos they got the guy doing now. He's not over at all. Russev is a massive heel and for anyone not to come out as a better face after being in a match with him is pathetic. Lana is great at what she does. Even though she's from Florida she's doing the Russian gimmick. Nobody has pointed that out yet. But nevertheless.

I will discuss the backstage segment with the Bellas and Stephanie McMahon. Talk about a build up! When Stephanie and Brie finally clash, it will good in my opinion. Not just because Stephanie and Brie are attractive....

Layla vs Summer Rae....

Now we get to the WWE World Championship ladder match. Why they haven't combined the belts yet, and yes I said belts, is beyond me. But this match was a good one. Roman Reigns became a bigger star because of this match. Kane playing the role of lapdog is an embarrassment of sorts, but get your money Kane. The home crowd advantage wasn't really an advantage for Cena. Not breaking news but I think it's worth pointing out. Also we got some color from Randy Orton. Blood if you will. That's a win, right? Cena ends up winning the match, and the internet wrestling community loses it's mind. Cena winning again is not the end of the world ladies and gents. Cena believe it or not is actually good at what he does. Yes I wish he cut more serious promos, but he has to give this boss who's stuck in the 80s what he wants. Cena gets a reaction and that's basically all you can ask from a performer on the main roster of the WWE.

All in all it wasn't a perfect show but it wasn't the worst show either. It was much better than last year's which isn't really saying much, but still.

YES MOVEMENT IS REAL, children...IT'S REAL!

I'm sure if you reading this you caught  Monday night Raw (3/11/2014). What a raw it was...considering what I actually watched was probably an hour worth at best. If you don't know I only tune in to Raw to to what I'm interested in. Meaning I keep my phone on Twitter and if something or someone I like is on Raw, Then I tune in. For example if I'm reading my timeline and I see Seth Rollins is fixing to wrestle, I tune in. If I look I'm my time line seeing it's a divas match, I'm watching something else which is currently The Voice.

But moving on. Let's go ahead and get to the point. Did y'all see that Yes Movement segment when Daniel Bryan brought an army of fans to the ring and around the ring wearing Daniel Byran T-Shirts? To me that was the Raw segment of the year. Granted it wouldn't been better if the fans had their Red Bull, but besides that it was a brilliant segment. One that hasn't been done before, not that I remember anyway, and one that was a long time coming. Since after Wrestlemania 28. The Yes movement if you recall really took to drive that Monday Night Raw after wrestlemania 28 where the Miami crowd hijacked the show. If you want to talk about Hijack, Chicago, rewatch that raw from Miami after Wrestlemania 28 on the WWE network, if it's up. That's how you hijack a show. For now on if anybody wants to "hijack raw" watch that Miami crowd for direction or go to a Raw taping in Brooklyn because the  BK crowd is always hype.

Back to the segment, at one point Daniel Byran threatened to take the fans to the parking lot and have the rest of the show be run in an empty arena. Now THAT would have been a moment. Let me mention Stephanie McMahon who gave the best performance I've ever seen her give on a mike. She's learned a lot being married to HHH and of course literally growing up in the business of Pro Wrestling. I liked it. Triple H has always been good on the stick if you will, not a master, but good none the less.

I'm going off track, the segment itself. Again I say, segment of the year. I go as far as to say, Epic. Now we know that "Epic" has become an overrated term in 2014, but I'm still using it because I'm a rebel. So it's gonna be Daniel Bryan vs Triple H and if Daniel Byran wins that he's going to be put in the Main Event match of the card. It's about time, WWE. Now we as the IWC, look at it as a win for us. But as Matt Hardy pointed out last night on Twitter:

"Fans should be happy, they were heard. Here's the deal- morphed the fan's frustrations into THEIR favor, THEIR story, thus owning it."

I called him a party pooper because I was still hyped off the segment but now that I'm calm, Matt Hardy, or as he's known by some marks, Fatt Hardy...I say if Matt Hardy is considered Fat, I'm considered "Death Bed"...anyway, WWE took what the fans wanted and made it like they had it planned the whole time. I also liked what Chris Jericho tweeted out:

Congrats to for finally embracing what has been in front of their faces the whole time… .

Someone in the back, we like to think Triple H, was holding this back for the longest. To the point where the fans where almost getting tired of it. Daniel Byran is small in stature. He has the beard and long hair gimmick going on. He's not the proto type WWE Superstar, but the man is as over as Stone Cold was in the Attitude Era. So WWE would have been stupid not to jump on this.

Now other quick topics...I for one am living Bray Wyatt mike work. Impact Wrestling is back in the US, and drew an arena barley 1/4 full for a PPV. I'll let that sink in.

HIJack Raw...failed!

To be a good blogger like I claim to be, I couldn't leave this one alone. Let's talk about this hijack that was supposedly gonna take place 3/3/2014 at the Allstate Center in Chicago. The fans were electrified! CM PUNK!! CM PUNK!!! WWE countered the chants with an up and down show. First a genius move that I think Paul Heyman came up with because it was too smart for the stooges at the creative to come up with. CM Punk music plays, the fans in the crowd and the IWC were going nuts. CM Punk is back!! YES!! YES!! YES!! Paul Heyman comes out to music and sits indian style in the ring like who else CM Punk. And proceeds to give a clinic in cutting promos as only Paul E can do. It worked. But at this point I was still believing that Punk was going to come out. Paul brings out Brock Lesnar and hands Brock the mike. Uh oh. This was going to be bad. Brock was never the best talker in the world, but with his work rate, we let that slide as fans. Brock cuts a decent promo for Brock's standards. Then I changed the channel. For what I hear, Henry came out and Brock put Henry through the announce table. Why I did I change the channel? Because I only tune in to what I care about. I keep my phone on Twitter and with something happens that I may be interested in, I tune in.

Any so that happened. No CM Punk but brilliant segment none the less. So then it was the Old Age Outlaws vs the USOs for the Tag Titles. I didn't watch this match but according to the tweets, USOs won the titles!! Good for them. It's long over due in my book, but good for them. And the crowd loved it. Still no CM Punk.

Casaro vs Big E...bleh...didn't watch. didn't care. I hear good things about Casaro though.

Now this match is what I ran upstairs to my room to watch. The Sheild vs The Wyatts. What a roller coaster of a match this was. Back and forth. Just non stop action and brilliant story telling. The crowd was hot as well. I'm loving the story with Seth Rollins having issues with the Shield. Seth formerly known as Tyler Black is a brilliant worker or performer. I think he'll be in the Wrestlemania main event within the next 5 years. He's that good. Wyatts win the match, but I think everybody won when it came to that match. Great 5 star stuff. I think X Pac said that that was Wrestlemania stuff. I couldn't agree more. Yet still no CM Punk. IWC still believing he's coming.

Fandango and Summer Raw vs Santino and Emma. I like Summer Rae. She is a 10 in my book when it comes to looks. But I didn't care for this match. I think Fandango is another brilliant performer. But I hate the gimmick. Santino is just a waste of time to me. If he gets fired right now, who would care other than him? I rest my case. And Emma? No idea who that is. Still no CM Punk, and one would have assumed that the Hijacking would have took pace during this match. Nope.

Sheamus vs Christian. Another hijack worthy match if you will. Nothing. Not a big fan of Sheamus and Christian has been so under used it's embarrassing. Christian should've stayed in TNA hindsight being what it is. He was the world champion in that company. Comes back to WWECW and bleh. Only reason he still has a job is because of Edge. But back to the match. Didn't watch didn't care. No Hijacking. No Punk.

The Bella Twins vs Alicia Fox and Askana.

Then Daniel Byran comes out. To a massive reaction. The Yes Movement is real children it is real. And if you ain't in it, you will get ran over. And the Authority comes out to answer Daniel Byran's challenge to Triple H at Wrestlmania XXX. The heat that Stephanie and HHH got with this Chicago audience was Attitude Era like. It was epic heat. The kind of heat Vickie Guerrero gets. That kind of heat. All and all HHH turned down the challenge because Daniel Bryan is a "B+ player."  Triple H and that shovel, boy. It's a God dang shame! So they order Daniel to leave, he refuses, and they call for corporate Kane to take care of Bryan. Bryan dives on to Kane then security comes out and escorts Daniel out. Heated segment. CM Punk chants all on it. But yet and still No CM Punk. At this point, I think it hit me that CM Punk wasn't there.

Then Alberto vs Dolph Ziggler. Nice little match. Ziggler won with help from the guest host, Aaron Paul. Forgive me, I have no idea who he is. Yet and still Ziggler is over, children. Ziggler push chould be coming up soon. Again. Hopefully WWE doesn't screw this up. Again. Still no Punk.

Next we find out that Paul Bearer is going to the Hall of Fame. Congrats to Paul. A shame that he's not alive to appreciate it. When is Macho Man getting in? Seriously. If Warrior can finally make it in--come on now.

Then it's Jack "Weed The People" Swagger vs Big E.

So then John Cena comes out to address the audience. John is a genius on the mike. Whether you love John or you hate him. Regardless of his work rate, John is brilliant. John gets a reaction. He responds to it, and he works with it. What more do you want from him. He takes us back through his history of his time in Chicago. Didn't mention CM Punk but at the same time he did. We all knew who he was talking about. Then the Wyatts popped up on the screen. Blah blah blah blah. Still no Punk. Moving on.

Now let's go to the main event. Bootista vs Daniel Byran. Randy Orton was at ringside watching the match. Daniel Byran was looking like he was about to hit a big move on Bootista, and then the corperation, i mean the Authority comes out. Batista throws Bryan into Orton. Orton retaliates on Byran. The Authority beats up Bryan. And that's how the show ends. No riot. No Hijack. No CM Punk. Hijack Raw...failed. But other than the obvious this show wasn't that bad of a show. WWE provided a good show. and had the people in the palm of their hands. So like it or not children, WWE won. The Machine won.

One last thing. Can we please cut out the Daniel Byran goat nonsense. I'm sick and tired of hearing flying goat this and toad that. Give the man some respect. He's the face of the WWE. He doesn't need a title to prove that. His Yes chants are literally everywhere. Give the man the title and let's go. WWE is pushing it but not giving Byran a title match at Wrestlemania. If Byran doesn't get the title soon, Bryan could end up taking a "sabbatical" like CM Punk.

Daniel Byran is on the road to one of the biggest pushes in the modern era

I said last post that wrestling is becoming fun again. Did a little thinking on this. Me being a mark most of my life seeing how business is done and also being a  movie buff. I think Daniel Byran is on route to become one of the biggest stars in the modern era of sports entertainment. Week after week Daniel is getting power bombed by the shield and or RKOed by Randy Orton. It's only a matter of time where the hero fights back, and when Daniel Bryan finally gets that hero's comeback the place is going to go insane.

Triple H is a tremendous heel. He's playing this part well. The mark that's still in me is hating him for how he's "running things," and that lets me know that what he's doing is working. Ok, yes this storyline is a rehash of old storylines but bottom line is that it's working. People are buying into it. It's almost becoming cool to be a wrestling fan again. IF Triple H was really the bad guy the IWC says he his, Daniel Bryan wouldn't have his spot he does now.

Even the Divas division is stepping up a little bit, but with that being said I got my doubts. As of this blog posting, it's booked that at Night Of Champions, it will be a fatal four way for the divas championship featuring Natalya, Brie Bella (smh), Naomi, and AJ. If Natayla or AJ does not win, someone should riot. Naomi has a lot of potential, but she's not ready yet. Her in ring skills are dynamite, but her promo skills are just bad. Brie Bella is all around awful. AWFUL. Natayla and AJ are the only wrestlers in that match. Therefore, one of those two should win the belt. I would have AJ keep the strap. I know they're trying to build the popular Total Divas show but screw that. AJ got the promo of her career a short time ago and I feel deserves to have the strap. Plus AJ could be the first Mrs. Richerson. Hey you know what they say, once you got fat, Michelle Obama hates you.

Now let me go in on the Big Show story going on. That segment with him and Stephanie McMahon was so uncomfortable to watch. Big Show looked so beaten down and worthless and Stephanie looked like the little sister who made it and is now holding over the Big Show's head. I don't have a clue as to where that storyline is going but it's interesting. When Daniel Byran finally gets his comeback, I do think Big Show and Dolph Ziggler will be a part of it. Somehow I think Vince will be part of it too. I've read rumors that this is all building up to a Wrestlemania match with Vince's guy is going up against Triple H's guy. Notice Vince hasn't been on TV much since the "new corporation" if you will started up? Something is brewing. And it's going to be sweet.

My thoughts on the Pinup Strong movement

I was reading this article on WWE.com, some time ago, where they had a list of potential past and current divas who would or could join up with Beth and Natalya in there run to change the divas division. The last one on the list was Eve Torres. Really? Eve Torres for change in the divas division? When she fits the mold of a WWE Diva? Eve came in as a former dancer, and her start in the business was the WWE divas search. WWE is supposed to be the big time in the wrestling business. Eve came in the big time with no, again I say no, ring experience, and yet she became champion over divas that actually came in with experience like Gail Kim, Beth Phoenix, Natalya, etc. Yet you add Eve to a list to join a force that wants to change the divas division? I’m confused. Beth and Natalya actually came in to the big time with ring experience. Yet they can’t get a legitimate run as a champ? Or at least they couldn’t for a while. So for what I understand, the way to make it as a diva in the WWE is to come in with no experience, embarrass yourself and women wrestlers everywhere on national TV every week, and within a month you’ll have title shot.

Now I, along with a lot of others, am not a fan of John Cena’s in ring work. Yet can I really say that Cena didn’t do enough to get where he is? He was discovered working at an independent wrestling show in California by Jim Ross. Jim Ross got him to OVW which at the time was a development territory for the WWE. So, even though Cena’s offensive maneuvers are limited, the dude came in the right way.

With most everything, there are some exceptions. Trish Stratus came in with no experience. Yet she became a very good worker in the ring. Stephanie McMahon. Y’all may think I’m crazy, but y’all got to admit, she wasn’t that bad in the ring. These divas now though? The Bella Twins, Eve, Kelly Kelly...yes I give you, they look good, but their work in ring is not up to par.
Now who I think could add to the movement for change? Again, y’all may think I’m crazy, but Alicia Foxx would be a great addition. She got the skills to be good, she just needs them tuned. What better tuners can you get than Beth Phoenix and Natalya? That new diva AJ would also be a good addition for change. She actually came in with ring experience, and she can work. Why not?
Reading the dirt sheets recently I hear that WWE is gonna have Kaitlyn turn heel on AJ and join Beth Phoenix and Natayla. What kind of sense does that make? Here I was thinking this was about skill. No it seems like this is about being too thick to be a victoria secret model. Give me a break.
Thanks for reading. Be sure to follow me on this blog. Leave your comments below sharing your opinions. Read the last blog. Follow my other blog. Friend me on FaceBook. Follow me on Twitter. Follow me on Dailybooth. Follow me on Tumblr. And I’m out.

Stay Saved,
