Vince McMahon down on Paige

[gl83]

-We reported last week about Paige being critiqued after her mistakes on Raw, which followed numerous reports of WWE officials being less than impressed with her work.

We’re told Vince McMahon feels she’s “been a dud.” One of the reasons she didn’t have heat last week is Vince already decided she was “too green,” so there wasn’t much she could do to get heat since the WWE boss had already soured on her. When she froze on live TV, instead of Vince getting upset, we’re told he “almost seemed happy” that he was being proven right by her mistakes.

According to our source, Vince is happy to finally have AJ Lee back and the Paige experiment didn’t work. Vince realized it for a while but wanted AJ to be the one to beat her, so Paige’s title run was extended until AJ returned to the company.

I expected something else once I read the title.

Vince did WHAT to Paige!?

Thanks for coming, Paige.

Vince McMahon down on Paige, because Paige not down on Vince McMahon.

[Heartbreaker]

He thinks Paige is too green yet what about a number of the goddamn divas on the main roster?

It's not her fault. She's not the one who grabbed the phone and said "Get your bags, you're on the road!"

If she's green as grass (which she is; she needs SERIOUS lessons in how to cut a promo) but you want her on the main roster, make her the manager of an experienced wrestler/team so she can get used to the environment and learn from some pros. Not drop her out in the middle of a jungle, stark naked.

It would also help to give her a storyline or some actual reason for existing, as opposed to being the Giant Space Flea from Nowhere.

when was it she froze?

It's not easy being green.

Now we can get to that hot AJ vs...well nobody feud.

How does one find out that Vince seemed "almost happy" in the guerrilla position when Paige froze up during that promo? Was a backstage secret insider laying in a corner covered up by a bush and just stared deeply into Vince's eyes from a far in case something controversial happened so he could read his face and determine if he was indeed "almost" happy or sad about something?

[Phil Parent]

Yeah, I don't trust the source, but I'd believe it to be true.

Paige did not get over. There's something missing there. She IS green, but she's also so young, it's not like there isn't room for improvement. I hope for her she'll get to work on it in Florida, otherwise she has a very brilliant future on the women's wrestling indy market. She has a look that will make her very popular in that niche.

Paige is a great in ring talent though, so like, it's sad that Vince would be so down on her. I think pairing her with AJ as this disingenuous baby face will probably help her, because they're at least still having Paige get wins and building her up as a potential opponent down the line. Her mic work is pretty shit, but I think in a situation like this, it could help and AJ could be a great opponent for Paige, especially if Paige is a heel.

It's clear Vince is texting this info to himself dirtsheets.

A battle for the ages!

I've become more convinced than ever the past couple of months that Vince and the old guard have to go. They are holding their own future back and dragging the company down. If this is true, giving up on a 21 year old who hasn't even scratched the surface of her own potential after 3 months, 3 months of giving her nothing BTW besides about 19 matches with Alicia Fox all which were booked like garbage and no promo time, is just idiotic.

Making a 21 year old the top star in your division overnight is a horrendous idea. Even if she is a perfect performer with no weaknesses whatsoever, what is she going to do for 15 years? That's if people begin to accept her, which didn't happen. Most American fans had (and have) no idea who she is or why they should cheer for her.

They should've done for her what they've done for Summer Rae, and to a lesser degree, Lana. Let people get to know Paige first, and then, if people want to see more, give her a more prominent role. Then you can make her champion if people like her. It also burns a year or two to prevent her from sputtering in the doldrums right out of the gate.

I'm not a fan of Paige at all, but she has a match at the Tokyo show that I'm going to in a few hours. I'm kinda hoping it's an actual match since wrestlers tend to get some time to let their hair down here.
