*world ends* ....... ............ ............... Oh wait! No it didn't. It's stupid, but it's not like her career is doomed now. Thank you! The over reactions over this is bordering on ridiculous, and I'm a Natalya fan. It's not an overreaction. Nor does it have to represent the world ending in order to be criticised. It's a silly gimmick that is wasting a talented wrestler. That's why people are bewildered at WWE's stupidity.

You know, even though I really do like Natalya and consider her my second favorite diva after Layla, I don't think it's too big of a deal, as if someone like Ziggler can rebound from the "handshake gimmick," she could conceivably recover from this. However.........
Like someone else said, recovering from a go-nowhere "angle" like this would require some smart booking, and though WWE is perfectly capable of it, when they want to be, I don't know if they even would make the effort when they don't even make an effort with so much wasted talent elsewhere.
This angle doesn't make me mad so much as it confuses me. What is the Sports Entertainment worth of this "angle", nonetheless the wrestling one? How does one even suggest such an angle in a corporate setting that WWE prides itself on? What is the payoff for such a one dimensional joke? Maybe if they had her having bad cramps the whole RAW and then in a match later in the night she let out a huge fart or soemthing that grossed out her oppoents into a count out, they would at least have a "story" to it (a terrible one, but one nonetheless.)

The only way this pays off is if it's actually one big call back to Bret accidentally farting in Bam Bam's face during the ending to their King of the Ring finals match in 1993.

In all honesty she DOES seem like the kind of girl who would just rip one with no qualms.

If they really wanted to give a diva that gimmick, they should have given it to Kelly. At least it would make her stinkface more credible. If they did this they would have to give her a bathroom sink though

I would've given the farting gimmick to a male superstar like Evan Bourne (post suspension; Michael Cole could throw in a joke about "that's what spice/herbs do to you"), or Alex Riley (bringing a new meaning to "Say it To My Face").
Someone posted about how an opponent could get grossed out and lose by count out. The perfect victim of the gross out countout would've been Brodus Clay. The farter could try their damnedest to hold it in, only to let it out once they get hit by Clay's cross body finisher. Brodus then sniffs the air and walks out in disgust. The farting guy would at least have the honor of giving The Funkasaurus his first loss.

I so wish Russo was still there. The angle would end with a big swerve. She wasn't farting, she was queefing.

This isn't so much offensive as it is pathetic; they can do so much better with the division, in regards to all the Divas, and the best they can come up with is a farting gimmick? For the number one wrestler and one of the better talkers in the division, not to mention one of the cleanest and most PR-safe ones outside of Eve, this is the best they can come up with? Pathetic is the word.

I love this gimmick. I was borderline on ordering WrestleMania but this sold me. Imagine farting on the grandest stage of all!

Maybe she let one rip in the elevator at the company hotel or something, that's an odd gimmick to get out of nowhere.

Is this punishment?
Is this the female, non-masked version of 'Who'?

has there ever been a farting gimmick before?
none of this makes any sense, between this and Christian trying to buy a slave I'm starting to wonder if someone slipped something in my drink.

How the hell do you recover from a farting gimmick. HEYMAN IS NOT AMUSED.
