WWE: Monday Night Raw 127 -- the road to NXT Tak...err, Wrestlemania

[Emperoreddy]

Charlotte isn't even on the show though so its really a 1-sided story angle.. unless I missed her debut?

Just seems like a bad decision and I have a feeling Becky gets lost in the mix.

It's one sided. It's just a story about Brie winning for her hurt sister. It isn't a coincidence that they started this story right when Nikki had her surgery and then hammered it home on RAW.

They are squeezing in some Flair dissent so there is some point to this story on the wrestling side of things (God forbid) but this is filler and Total Divas fodder. They want to milk Nikki's injury and rehab for all its worth.

Seems the actual money story of Becky/Sasha/Flair is being saved for Mania.

Ahhhh, I guess that kinda makes sense

 

[Dr Pepper]

I think the loss to Brie is fine. It's setting up the story for the future.

The story we've just had was Charlotte listening to her farther and being corrupted. She turned into a cheating heel, which turned Becky against her and won by cheating.

The story in this next chapter is going to be about Charlotte splitting from Flair. He is going to give her advise and cheat for her, but it's going to cost her matches. This'll happen a few times before she finally splits form him and he goes off TV.

What we saw on Raw was the first step. Flair told Charlotte to go for her finisher, but it was countered and she lost. It'll be blown off, but it will escalate before it finally costs Charlotte the belt at Wrestlemania.



Ofc, this is me booking...

He's been such a blemish in every one of her matches lately, always on the ring apron, tripping up opponents, kissing them or throwing coats on them, and as far as I know, he still has yet to get his kid disqualified even once.

I guess It'll take something extra-special for that ref to take notice and end the match.

Well, the ref never sees any of the tripping and it's Ric Flair...no ref will DQ the man for being a kiss-stealing, wheelin' dealin' son of a gun!

Well he cost her that match against Brie but ya it's getting silly. Honestly she would be a better heel if she started claiming she is the best flair.

Get her some decent heat

 

[Kimi]

Which is why we're doing this story now! Charlotte is going to turn on Flair, and be a real heel for her self. Give it time, you can't complain that what is going to happen hasn't happened when it makes no sense for it to happen faster than it is.

Wow, the women's division is at its best in years, and some of you guys are still complaining? Give your head a shake.

I know there's alot of NXT smarks on this board, but you gotta realize there's more women in the wwe than just Charlotte, Becky, and Sasha.

You gotta make space for the other ones, like Brie Bella. She's been irrelevant for over a year now, and they're finally giving her a push. It adds MORE DEPTH to the roster. I thought hockey fans could relate to that, but I guess not.

It's Sasha vs Becky vs Charlotte at wrestlemania. Just relax and stop complaining.

More NXT Smark talk, and yes of all the women on the roster Brie is the one who needs a push to create depth.

 

[SladeWilson23]

Not sure if you guys know abut CinemaSins on YT, but this board should make a bunch of WrestlingSins videos.

NXT marks and NXT smarks are not the same thing.

You don't actually have to make space for people who suck at wrestling. If it wasn't for Total Divas, Brie would be getting buried.

 

[vdB]

Lots of Brie haters I guess.

Chirp her all you want, the Bella's are a big part of the division. They ain't going anywhere. Just accept it.

 

[Virtanen18]

Roman Reigns is a big part of the division y'all. Stop complaining and accept it.

 

[Loosie]

Being a big part of the division and being good are two completely different things.

Okay okay okay... the gimmick was fun at first. Not every single comment needs to be a heel turn. It derails the thread.

 

[BonMorrison]

AlfieAllDay putting us NXT smarks in our place.

If this was Nikki, there would be less complaining. The difference between her and Brie is night and day.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Brie has earned it with her work quality and complete lack of a personality. Bellas are certainly a brand that they make money off of but that has mostly to do with Nikki. The only reason Brie is even getting this shot is to keep Nikki's name out there and keep Total Divas out there.

It doesn't make them good or interesting.

And the reason why people are complaining about the women's division is because it can be significantly better than what it is. The mere fact that it's not the women's division is a big part of where the complaining comes from. The Diva's division is an insult and they are still portrayed as a joke or irrelevant in most instances.

You need to give your head a shake and actually consider the other side for once instead of always playing the contrarian just to get a rise out of people.

 

[SladeWilson23]

I like Brie.

 

[vdB]

Roman Reigns is a big part of the division y'all. Stop complaining and accept it.

You can't compare the men's division to the women's division. It's completely different.

Plenty of room to push a woman. Why not Brie?

Pushing guys is much more difficult due to the congestion of talent.

 

[vdB]

And just because I disagree with alot of you guys with your insane opions, I don't deserved to be flamed constantly.

I'm making valid points here.

You're so full of crap. There isn't plenty of room to push the female talent. They get at most two segments on Raw. Everything else beyond Raw is essentially useless in this regard. That's not a lot of time and spots for a push for any individual, much less many.

As for why not Brie? Because she isn't interesting and she isn't good at entertaining in any aspect of the business at this point. If they were going to put a Total Diva in that spot, it should be Natalya. At least she can work.

 

[vdB]

Don't look at it from a "time allowed" aspect. I'm talking about the main event card. You only got a few woman up there right now. Plenty of room for Brie.

The guy that said just the other day about not being PC and not apologizing for it is going to play the martyr now? That's good stuff.

 

[BonMorrison]

Yes - if we're going from the Total Divas perspective, Natalya deserves Brie's mini-push about 1000x more.

Also you can't ask to not be flamed when at the same time you're calling people "NXT smarks" as a negative for people who disagree with you.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Don't look at it from a time allowed aspect? There's no good reason not to look at it from that perspective when you're discussing room to push someone. Pushing someone involves time on TV to have any effect. Hence, that's what counts especially for the women. There isn't plenty of room for Brie. Why do you think they stuck nine women together in a program to start that God awful Divas Revolution stuff? It was to put as many of them together in the one or two segments they were going to get that had any meaning. Under normal circumstances, when a group of talent gets one or two segments that matter, that isn't many spots to hand out.

Brie doesn't have the talent to belong in one of those few spots.

 

[vdB]

Natalya would be a great fit too. I agree. Just give Brie a chance before you go nuts. IWC is known for hating on stuff before it even begins.... I don't fit into that category. Be open minded and allow things to develop.

A quick side note, the Bella's sell way more merch than Natalya. That's gotta be a factor to look at when pushing someone
