I've seen it brought up a couple of times.. "Y2J's here, people won't root against him against Bray".

Of course not, they're/we're just going to cheer for both of them.

Swagger/Rusev will be great. Wonder if Swagger will challenge Sheamus for the US Title on Smack down and win it, and Rusev wins the IC title battle royal at Battleground. Then have it all come together at Summerslam after multiple run-ins in a title vs title, America vs Russia match.

I like the way you think sir. Unfortunately, WWE Creative isn't that bright at times.

Love the idea, but we all know how creative they are on their end.

I don't like the idea at all. When something is working you have to keep it as far away from Sheamus as you can because he will **** it up.

I feel bad for the fella because it isn't even his fault. He's just stuck with the broguekickouttanowhere gimmick.

As long as we get a program between the two. If Paige becomes the next Diva who constantly gets thrown in random tag teams I will be aggravated

Prepare to be aggravated. Once AJ tears apart Paige, Paige will become nothing more than another Diva goon. Then when they call up Charlotte, Paige will really be put down the totem pole. Then when she is announced for Total Divas you can stick a fork in her.

After these past 3 months, talks of Paige being the world savior of the divas were vastly exaggerated. She was boring, she didnt do anything particularly amazing. The submission got tired. Her screaming was annoying. All you need to do is watch her matches with Naomi and compare the difference in entertainment (btw they ****ing up with Naomi, she deserves better at this point).

I will shed no tears for Paige and this ****ty run of hers. I mean when Alicia Fox becomes the most entertaining part of your feud, you got problems. Anyway, shes 21. This is far from a closed book on Paige.

And eventually Rusev wins the US title and Lana renames it the Vladimir Putin Memorial Heavyweight Championship

This is where I stopped reading your post. 3 months being booked as a weak wrestler who gets lucky wins to maintain a championship is NOT her fault, and it's definitely the least she's capable of.

It's hilarious how one person can 'save a division.' If you truly believed that than SMH. She needs someone else that can maintain a feud with her and actually put on a program. They only Diva that has been booked that strong was AJ Lee, but the problem was AJ took her vacation right as Paige got called up. Just wait to see this feud between the two, it will change your mind.

(and Charlotte is nowhere near Paige's wrestling ability)

Re: The "There's No Raw Thread Yet" Raw Thread - 6/30/2014

I think what people are frustrated about when it comes to Paige is shes the best wrestler in the divas divison and its not even close, yet shes been booked like a loser with no personality. I don't know why she wasn't allowed to keep her character from NXT.

What most people are hoping for(I think) is that AJ vs Paige is the next Trish vs Lita, but thats never going to happen and I accept that. They're never going to be booked seriously, and why should they? Just go back and look at this thread, a lot of peoples first thought was "man, AJ's *** and thighs are gone!" That thought pretty much sums up how these women are booked: Like strippers.

The sad part is HHH has the power to turn the whole thing around, but he probably sees the women the same way.

I do agree that Charlotte will see a HUGE push whenever she gets called up regardless of ability, charisma, looks, etc. Flair will be on the phone with HHH telling him all the time to push her.

Well I didnt say Charlotte was near Paige's wrestling ability, but I havent even been impressed with Paige's ability that Ive seen on Raws the past 3 months. And the way Paige was gassed up hyped up filled up before she even went to NXT is where I get the savior metaphor from. Youre even telling me now how great her wrestling ability is. I havent seen it on television yet.

Her character sucked, her attire sucked, her match storytelling of lol get beat up lol 2 moves I win sucked. You can blame the booking all you like. They gave her the crown right from the jump and she DROWNED. Ya'll thinking AJ is gonna be the one to show us the true Paige. Im not holding my breath. Because Paige will lose in this feud then guess what, she'll be wrestling all the rest of the divas, that is if she even gets TV time after AJ takes over again.

How did you want WWE to book this woman? They gave her the belt, they had her win every feud, and in almost every feud her opponent outshined her in some capacity whether in character or actually ENTERTAINING wrestling.

I dont want to sound like too much of a ***** on her since I was rooting for her to be the truth. But ya'll acting like WWE sabotaged her, or ruined her career. On one hand giving her the belt off the rip was a bad idea, but on the other hand, the best female wrestler to ever exist should be able to do something with that rub. There was a long line of women dreaming of that rub in the lockerroom who had been waiting for years and she got the spot. She floundered. Call it what it is. Stop with the excuses. She deserves some blame. She is not a victim, she was a big part of her very own problem.

Re: The "There's No Raw Thread Yet" Raw Thread - 6/30/2014

they had her win every feud.

Who exactly has she feuded with? They treated her run just as it is an IC or US title run.

No feuds, no real back story besides "Shes new and doesn't deserve it." It was just a new opponent almost every week. Fox was the first opponent where a feud could've been made, but Kevin Dunn loves the whole throwing a fit attitude and most likely didn't want to have Fox be buried too much, thus losing that act on TV. Naomi could've been a decent feud, if it wasn't to set up her split with Cameron.. plus AJ returning kind of ruined any potential follow up as well.

Bottom line; this is the first real feud for Paige since she's been on the roster. Get ready for a meaningful Divas title match.

Then I guess we gotta hope AJ is always around to help Paige matter.

Or that the next crop of Divas coming out of NXT don't get the Total Divas treatment.

Take your pick.
