July 21, 201411 yr comment_5613637 The two worst spots in that match were the tackle through the ropes and the sunset flip power bomb and both looked botched by AJ more than Paige IMO.
July 21, 201411 yr comment_5613638 AJ was running laps around Paige in that match. The myth of Paige the great worker needs to be put to bed. She's not. Not even close. She's a good WWE divas worker. She's not a great worker that's for sure.
July 21, 201411 yr comment_5613640 The two worst spots in that match were the tackle through the ropes and the sunset flip power bomb and both looked botched by AJ more than Paige IMO. Here comes the apologista.
July 21, 201411 yr comment_5613641 Paige isn't a great worker, but she's a good worker who has the potential to be great. And c'mon Dylan, burying someone after one bad match (which I haven't seen yet so I can't comment on if I agree/disagree with your opinion on this one match)? We've seen a body of work from Paige where she's shown that she is good, but also young and prone to having deer in the headlight young worker moments. Truth is she should still probably be in NXT, but agaain I wonder how much all of the women looking a bit off in WWE is due to del Ray being the agent for the NXT matches and not the main roster ones?
July 21, 201411 yr comment_5613642 Jesus Christ, don't get all pissy Dylan. You're the one who said they couldn't wait to bury the PPV after one match, don't get mad when people call you on it.
July 21, 201411 yr comment_5613643 Spear through the ropes was definitely on AJ. You can tell, Paige gave her a like extra oomph into the barrier on the next spot.
July 21, 201411 yr comment_5613644 Well I guess we aren't going to have a Rollins vs Ambrose match. The best we can do is a run-in to prevent cashing in the MITB. Like I said before, I don't see how this slow burn is going to help Dean in the least. Especially when he is losing and losing on RAW
July 21, 201411 yr comment_5613645 I'm not burying Paige. I'm being honest about Paige and not grading her on a curve because she's a diva. People can't tell us how good/great someone is for a couple of years, and talk about how the Diva's/women need to get pushed more and then hunker down behind a wall of "they are divas give them a break" when they fall on their ass. Paige has been unimpressive her entire time on the main roster. I think she has potential to be very good, but she's not there yet and I am going to call her on it. There are great woman's wrestlers even now. Satomura shows up a a couple of times a year and usually blows me away. Bill, you are high on Lovelace and what I've seen from her I have enjoyed a lot. I really like Kana a lot. Hell Alicia Fox has had some really fun moments on WWE tv this year. Paige however has been consistently disappointing since she was called up.

Not pissy at all, I was joking, I assumed it would be obvious to a master of message board humor like yourself
July 21, 201411 yr Author comment_5613649 Rusev vs. Jack Swagger Man, you know they don't give a fuck about pissing people off when they follow the Ambrose-Rollins announcement with this result. Solid match. I enjoyed the Rusev-Big E sprints more overall but this was solid stuff.
July 21, 201411 yr comment_5613650 Probably the right finish for where these guys are positioned right now. I liked the Big E/Rusev matches better.
July 21, 201411 yr comment_5613651 Rusev vs. Swagger - Fun match with a surprising finish. I guess this feud will go a little longer.
July 21, 201411 yr comment_5613652 Safe to say this was not as good as Big E vs Russev. I don't think most people thought Swagger would have a chance to win the match no matter how good the segment on RAW is I did love Lana's reaction to swagger hitting the post. Not sure if she was shocked because she thought she would get hit as well
July 21, 201411 yr comment_5613653 comparing WWE women to Joshi and Indy wrestlers is asinine. The women in WWE don't have the freedom, reps, or infrastructure to be successful on that level. Anyway I agree that Paige's recent callup to the main roster has exposed her as being green, but I just don't think that match was really on her. AJ failed to bump through the ropes on the one spot and held on to the ropes too long on the sunset flip. She also fucked up the pin by failing to just cover Paige when she had her legs up in the air. The problem with Paige is if you go back to her NXT run she was having really solid matches so I don't know if sending her back will do any good. At this point she's only going to improve if she keeps working on live TV in front of bigger crowds.
July 21, 201411 yr comment_5613657 Wait, is the moral here that Del Ray can put matches together better than Finlay or that Emma is better than AJ?
July 21, 201411 yr comment_5613659 So how is this making Ambrose strong? Thank god they are going to have the match.
July 21, 201411 yr comment_5613660 Wait, is the moral here that Del Ray can put matches together better than Finlay or that Emma is better than AJ? Both. Does Finlay have a great track record as an agent? del Ray does, her work in NXT is evidence of that. And Emma is possibly the most talented women on their roster, aside from maybe Sasha Banks, and when given the chance she always shines.
July 21, 201411 yr comment_5613661 So are they trying to make Ambrose-HHH the new Austin-McMahon here?
July 21, 201411 yr comment_5613662 comparing WWE women to Joshi and Indy wrestlers is asinine. The women in WWE don't have the freedom, reps, or infrastructure to be successful on that level. This where I side with Dylan, because I don't think it's asinine. Wrestling is wrestling, and wrestlers are wrestlers. There's no reason the women in the WWE shouldn't be compared to other female wrestlers the world over. If people aren't making such a comparison and are cutting the WWE women slack, that's unfair to them and is probably why they do get away with their less than stellar moments.
