Total Divas Continuity (sort of spoilers)

[Lancers]

All you need to know about how horribly staged Total Divas is when they do their monologues in front of a camera behind a green screen. Look at yesterday's episode involving Nikki and pay attention to what's she wearing. Nikki went through her entire story going through all the emotions of heartbreak and suspicion, then relief all while wearing the exact same outfit. They're too lazy to have the women wearing different clothes to match the timeline of the story. They probably do all their monologue stuff in one or two days once the editing of the episodes is done and they add the monologue stuff at the end of production.

That's how all Reality tv does it. Usually the monologue stuff is taped well after the fact.

I listened to The Miz on Talk is Jericho a few weeks back... he explained the Real World process: whatever happens during the week, blah blah, and then at the end of the week, they bring everyone into the confessional and ask them to speak about whatever happened during the week, but in present tense, (I suppose) as a narration to the events. Not saying the makes the show any more or less hokey or fake, but that's how most shows probably do it.

Here's just a look at a timeline of events for the most recent episode of Total Divas

TOTAL DIVAS TIMELINE:
1. Summer Rae slaps Natalya in early December
2. Summer Rae wrestles Natalya and sort of kicks her in the face in probably around the second week of December
3. Natalya fears a long term injury during the middle of December
4. Natalya wrestles at TLC

This seems pretty self-explanatory. Well it would be except for one key point:

The match where Summer Rae faces Natalya happened at the Old School Raw taping, which was in January of 2014 and many weeks after this TLC "fear" for Natalya

This IS the daughter of Who we're talking about here- she's bound to have some genetic skill with all things wibbly, wobbly, timey and/or wimey. Makes perfect sense.

Something along these lines:

I don't see the show much, but isn't it established that Nikki's first name is actually Stephanie, when Cena asks her to move with him?

So, he wants to meet her at the dock, and sends her his dramatic text and all, with obvious bullshit camera angles since it's a show and all, of course, but he writes her as "Nicole". Why would he use the full name of her fake name? She has never been Nicole Bella for anything that I know of, why start now?

Stephanie Nicole Garcia-Colace aka Nikki Garcia.

Same crap as HBK being named Michael Shawn Hickenbottom and prefers to be called Shawn.

All the women Scream NICOLE! everytime Nikki Says something gross.

Girl I know is Stephanie Miranda and prefers to be called Miranda, so that makes sense.

Also, it's funny how we all seem to be unanimous in knowing Total Divas is fake, considering how many people base their legit opinions of some of its stars on what is obviously scripted. Just a random thought.

Great point. Natalya went from being very popular round these parts (especially when the show first began when she kept being ignored or overlooked by everyone) to one of the more disliked people because of how she's seen on the show.

I do find Cena to be the most interesting because of how deliberately careful he is when it comes to showing off his personality. He's very guarded with the cameras around.

Oh, right. That match did happen. My derp.
