So, anyone remember the time that the Bellas made Natalya cry in her hometown on her birthday? Apparently, WWE doesn't. That was Nattie's second worst birthday, right after the time Tyson Kidd wanted to visit his family and watch old Gorgeous George matches instead of taking her on a date. And then she went out with some creep-o friend of hers who sent her dick pics and almost ruined her wedding. Totally ruined Nattie's birthday. Her crying in the ring was a great time compared to that.

After watching tonight's match, Brie has to stop grunting in the ring. It's obnoxious and very irritating. All her grunting and screaming brings attention to is how quite the crowd is during her matches.

You know what else annoys me about this? They've said on TV how long Daniel Bryan and Brie have been dating, when just over a year ago, there was that big storyline regarding AJ Lee and her several suiters. Again, it's just insulting the fans for ever getting behind that story, because by mentioning how long Bryan has been dating Brie, they're basically saying they don't care about sticking to a story or they think we're too stupid to remember. I'd expect this out of Russo, but it becomes more and more ridiculous with how narrowminded their booking is. It's the same with something like a kayfabe injury or a spot that 20 years ago, someone would sell like death. Now? They might miss one show tops, then return showing no sign of wear or even playing up the injury. They try to blur this line with reality, all the while not caring about keeping kayfabe. STOP TURNING INTO f***ING RUSSO! At the same time, I can see why they want to reflect reality. It'd be harder and harder not to acknowledge that they are together when they're at the point of getting married. Either it'd restrict how they could act in public and on social media, or it'd just seem incongruous if they were publically together but entirely separate in kayfabe. And take the Edge/Lita/Matt issue - Should they have ignored reality and continued a feud with Edge and Kane when more people wanted to see Lita's real ex get revenge? And heck, if you really want to explain it in kayfabe, it's not like Bryan's character back then was all that respectful of AJ, no reason he couldn't have been cheating on her. This is honestly why I get so uncomfortable with the blurring of kayfabe/reality lines. I'd honestly prefer it if wrestling kayfabe was no different from any other television show. Hell thats what I tell people who are shocked that I like wrestling "Its just like any other TV show". But one of the big ways that it really isn't is the blurring of kayfabe/reality lines and it annoys me. On LOST when Evangeline Lily and Dominic Monaghan were dating in real life did it change anything for their characters? No. Did it seem incongruous that Evangeline and Dom were dating in real life and everyone knew it but Kate and Charlie were not at all romantically involved and in fact both of them had other romantic interests? No. Hell on Heroes Peter and Claire were uncle and niece while Milo Ventimiglia and Hayden Panettiere were dating in real life and everyone knew it. (Of course in that case there was the unfortunate side effect of Peter and Claire having some unintended sexual tension in their scenes together but still). By the same token in my perfect world the fact that Bryan Danielson and Brianna Garcia are dating in real life shouldn't have any effect on Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella's onscreen characters at all. It shouldn't matter or be brought up or anything that Daniel Bryan was involved with AJ while Bryan Danielson was dating Brianna Garcia in real life. It just shouldn't, and it bothers me that it does. To me wrestling takes place in a another universe just as much as LOST does, or it should be portrayed as such. Thats what I would prefer to see. The lines blurring does nothing but annoy me, because its bad storytelling. The world of wrestling should be a fully fictional world so it can tell its story fully within its fictional world.

Just watched tonight's Smackdown. The Bellas are still bitches. The End. Worst babyfaces EVER. *puts "L" on forehead* Yes yes they Are When they were faces during guest host era They were around the Worst Guest Hosts that nobody liked(Piven,Cedric,Kyle Bush,) and now bc Brie is engaged to DB she and her sister by extension are faces BULL. Even when AJ called everybody out they were still the same bitchy mean girls that theyve been the past two years,and they still are now. Theyre not like Rock,Orton,Kane whereby they face a heel theyre good or face bad or tweener.They are still btches. Aside from a hot tag or comeback,nothing absolutely nothing they do exemplifies face or good. Even getting Randy Orton to terrorize them and stalk them Does Not work when the crowd is behind DB over him and most dont like him. Itll be different if they brought up the romance gradually and then during that time to now the Bellas saw the error of their ways and Brie tried to incorporate some of DB mannerisms or moves or went out and supported him during a match. But nope,Brie and Bryan are engaged and while Orton stalks the Bellas,we'ree going to do what weve been doing while just going up the most popular,well liked diva in AJ and Still act like btchs. Whos letting them still call people losers and then do the loser sign after every match they win. Look at Layla,from Laycool to now.Same person just less btcgy,more funloving,energetic,happier. Bellas same dam thing.Its like their Kane only constantly in heel Jericho/Ziggler mode. And Natalya isnt getting any sympathy or much reaction bc all of a sudden due to just being on the same show as them has aligned herself with them and is friends with them.And then the Funkadactyls arent getting anything bc Cameron is acting like the Bellas while Naomi is sticking around her. The only divas coming out of this as good are AJ,Tamina,A Fox,Jo Jo. Beating up a diva 8 to 1,cheapshotting her,trashing her,calling her a loser after you beat her,while not refuting Any point she said,only making it stronger will tend to get her cheers. AJ did say some divas Sucked up to the right people and Bries been getting more airtime and matches after shes been seen with DB,proving her point and making the fans side with AJ.That and Brie is still acting like a btch. If they want it to work which it wont bc AJ or Bellas lifelong fan or mean girls who are associated with DB and reality show,then somebody should tell the bellas to stop taunting,stop doing the loser thing,and stop acting the same.

The sound sweetener is being used on Smackdown to generate fake cheers for Brie.
Classic WWE shoehorning.

At least those two had some level of wrestling ability when they got the nod. The Bellas are so very, very boring as wrestlers. Brie doesn't even know how to do a basic spot right and injures your champion, probably the only moderately-over diva you even have. What the hell?

Re: mentioning the Brie/Bryan relationship and it exposing the fake AJ relationship, they just shouldn't have mentioned how long they've been dating. Without mentioning the time frame it could have existed in kayfabe too.
It was a pretty decent match on Smackdown. The fake crowd noise is hardly noteworthy; it's Smackdown, everyone gets fake reactions, even those that get good live reactions. However the Bella's remain awful faces. The loser sign? For one that hasn't been relevant since the late 90's, and secondly why should we cheer women that do that?

WWE are trying so hard to get people to feel for Brie because she is dating their resident goat Daniel Bryan ain't they?

Without mentioning the time frame it could have existed in kayfabe too. While it would've at least made this whole thing crap on kayfabe a little less, implying they started dating after AJ became GM wouldn't have helped with painting Brie as a face. It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to assume she pressured him into popping the question with the quickness, thus making her look like more like a person AJ was talking about (latching onto a big star to move up in the company herself). and of course, not being total bitches the entire time might help things...

All her grunting and screaming brings attention to is how quite the crowd is during her matches. At least it's more female tennis player, less Kelly Kelly high-pitched whine. But yeah, she's like Lex Luger in there.

How is AJ relatable? Her gimmick is that she's completely insane and kind of a groupy. Oh c'mon, who amongst us isn't at least a little insane? Sanity is subjective.
