Is Emma's gimmick being horrible?

[Deleted]

Because if so, she's good at it. I want to say it IS her gimmick, but I'm not sure.

[TK The Friendly Robot]

I thought she was supposed to be a heavy tweaking out on Mdma.

[BigWill]

I was thinking maybe it was a case of the WWE lighting giving her epileptic seizures.

[Bang Bang Bart]

Someone said on the NXT thread for this week that she's supposed to be drunk.

[Metalheadbanger Man]

Its that Castlemaine XXXX, or whatever Aussies drink.

[Xander Xplosion]

Well, to the tune of just about every Aussie I've met who is out seeing the world, AUSome, which is a state of being a drunk Australian.

British voiceover guy: This entrance also contains strobe lighting effects.

Makes me sad that Jillian Hall isn't around anymore to interact with Emma. I could see Jillian's and Emma's gimmicks meshing perfectly with each other.

Isn't that everyone's gimmick in developmental?

[Dang!]

Is her gimmick a shot at Jeff Hardy? I just watched her match against Aksana and her entrance and her whole behaviour gave me a flashback to THAT TNA PPV main event...

Yeah I thought this, like I said up there it looked as if she was off her face. If it was supposed to be booze then she really doesn't know how to fake drunk, if it was supposed to be drugs then she pulled it off spectacularly.

Maybe I'm overanalyzing but there seems more to it than "drunk party girl". On those leaked NXT promos that were done on that dark stage, Emma cut this extremely awkward promo where she was trying not to laugh, and it was like Norm MacDonald-style anti-humor and all the guys clapped and laughed when it was over. Regal talked about how she's in her own little world and she's impossible to speak to. It's almost like she's on the autism scale. Or she's just putting a goofy face on to screw with her opponents and gain an advantage.

[BigWill]

If Emma is using the "dancing" to get an advantage on her opponents, it's failing horribly, as she basically turned into a jobber after she got this gimmick.

Nah, that's usually after developmental.

To be fair, almost everyone in NXT starts as a jobber before moving up the card unless you're getting fired soon.

[Bang Bang Bart]

Her gimmick is so odd, yet mesmerizingly enthralling.

[01010010 01101001 01100011]

I am figuring it's a shot/rib on someone but not Hardy. My first thought was Rosa or Kelly Kelly to be honest.

[Andrew is Good]

Well, right now, Joseph Park has the gimmick of not knowing how to wrestle and has perfected it. It seems Emma though is...quirky?

[Sparkybob]

*Shrug* I like the gimmick personally. It makes her stand out and I think maybe it can get over with the crowd in the wwe as well. Thought I get why people don't really enjoy it.
