Now this is where I get really annoyed. How come the new divas get 7 and a half minutes for a six-woman tag. Yet on the main roster when you've got veterans in the mix, it'll get 4 minutes tops. Then again, FCW as a whole seems to pack more wrestling into their 1 hour show than Raw does with 2.

Seems like the bigger blip you are on Vince's radar, the less time you'll get to actually wrestle

Of course there's going to be more wrestling on FCW tapings. It's a developmental, so that means more time in-ring and less time with non-wrestling segments outside of the standard promos.

Actually, for a chick that's supposed to be passionate about the business enough to take a shot at Stacy Kiebler, she lacks the talent to match. Wesley Holiday however, for someone only signed in February, pretty good actually

I think these girls should be getting longer matches in FCW, so that when they get brought up to the main roster and are asked to do the more standard diva 3-4 minute matches it'll seem like a complete breeze. That's why it's frustrating watching the Bellas sometimes. There's no substitute for having time in the ring to develop your craft, especially with some of these girls having started out from scratch very recently.

They're all really quite bland. All of them are good looking (except for the Bella's in my opinion) but they're just interchangable in terms of style. I know people have been saying this about the main roster women for years but I've never really found that until now. Honestly, they're all trying to pull off this quicker pace stuff and it just doesn't work. They need the fundamentals first, then let them get their own style. Although absent from this video, it seems the first move the girls are taught these days is a tilt-a-whirl headscissors which looks less and less impressive every time a new girl comes in and does it.

And really, can the WWE please stop hiring models and reject diva search girls now? I never really cared all that much; we got some nice eye candy in Maria and Layla, as well as some girls who not only looked good but actually kind of "got it" in terms of wrestling like Candice, Maryse and McCool(not to everyone's taste I know). However it seems like that's ALL the WWE is hiring these days. If they were drop dead gorgeous girls it would make a little bit more sense but these girls aren't. Don't get me wrong, most of them are attractive, but there are attractive female WRESTLERS out there as well. We had that thread the other week back about the new signee's that were all just models, and they weren't really that good looking. So instead of hiring decent looking female wrestlers they're hiring decent looking women who can't do anything.

As for this match: boring. Just boring from start to finish. None of the women (except Roucka) are anything special. Tiffany isn't terrible but isn't any good either. Brie Bella is already on TV (but is also pretty mediocre). Eve showed some nice speed but was still quite jolty in the ring. Welsey Holliday has looked pretty terrible in every video I've seen and this was no change, she basically stumbles in and out of each move (to be fair she's still pretty new). Alicia Fox sells well but she looks like she'll injure herself after every bump. The best of the bunch is clearly Roucka who is the only one who looks comfortable in the ring and she has natural charisma.

Bleh, not that impressive for any of them. I think it's because Eve wasn't wearing her ninja costume.

Nikka Bella? Is she the female Niko Bellic?
