How sweet is it going to be when Brie/Steph is better than Paige/AJ 2? It already has a good shot of being better than the first. The irony would be so thick, I would die of metal poisoning. The incredibly mediocre Brie and Stephanie who hasn't wrestled in who knows how long, completely upstaging two ladies who are constantly touted as being the paragons of women's wrestling. I just don't get it. These are people who know how to wrestle. The footage of this exists! They finally get their match and it's a big disappointment. Meanwhile, Brie/Steph is probably going to get the crowd's attention because as has been said, this isn't a badly done storyline. I just wish they gave this kind of thing to any diva who proved herself worthy as opposed to pulling it out once in a blue moon.

I keep hearing that the crowd went CA-RAY-ZY when Steph was arrested on Raw this week, but........the audio on my TV, computer, iPhone and YouTube must be broke because I did not hear that reaction from that crowd.
Unless mild is the new WWE crazy.

Unless mild is the new WWE crazy. It might be your ears. I'm watching it now, they're very much into it and chanting yes.

That's because Steph is heeling it up like a pro right now. Say what you want about the way the McMahons run the company, and about the whole "owners being characters" thing being so f***ing overplayed, but Stephanie is becoming one of my all-time favorite heel characters. Definitely my #2 favorite heel authority character behind Mr. McMahon. Steph's work as of late is just excellent. She's got the same ability that Vince had to emote and maintain an authoritative stance while doing totally self-deprecating stuff. It's a sort of intangible McMahon family charisma. You can't really learn that. From the awesome "mud" pool segment to the arrest I've been really digging the character. If only she had a "Stone Cold" to play off of like Vince did rather than the Bellas & Vickie I think we could see something really special. ...I wonder what Dean Ambrose is up to...

This is the second time in a month where people did a 180 on something involving Stephanie after one segment where she got embarrassed (the first being her "match" with Vickie a week or two after the infamous projectile vomit skit). As recently as last week's Smackdown, I was seeing people describe those Nikki segments as terrible, a waste of time, and that after several of them, they still found Nikki unsympathetic. In fairness, the OP's point was that it's over, not that it's good. I say this at least once a month and I will continue to do so - a wrestler/storyline only needs to be two things; safe and over. Anything else is f***ing irrelevant.

Yeah and they've gotten better (well not so much on the mic but in the ring). Cannot wait to see Steph v. Brie, it may not be a 5* classic but it'll be fun. Yeah, I think it might have potential to surprise people like Steph/Trish did.

I like Steph but I don't give a shit about the Bella's. It could be any other Diva in that role and it would work the same for me.

I don't think Nikki will be joining the Authority as long as she is associated with John Cena. Also, I am not sure the match will be Brie vs Steph. Nikki is the one getting all the airtime and beat downs. She has the better case for revenge by now.

But Total Divas is enough by itself, given that they reference the show relentlessly. And the more subtle references to John: the ball caps, the rack attack, her new "fearless" slogan.

Hmph. Now that I think about it, if the fans are that into it, then WWE should probably turn Steph face and have her lose for 2 months straight to every jobber they can find.

The "plastic girlfriend" thing doesn't make sense when almost every woman in WWE has implants. Badasses like Natalya and Beth Phoenix even. I don't get it.

As someone who has been aboard the Bella bandwagon for a while now, I'm glad that people are starting to care. Both of them are pretty good.
Also at a quick glance I thought the OP was saying something about the Bella Brother and I was worried that WWE, having given people the New Nation, was going to go ahead with the serious gay wrestler involving his infatuation with John Cena.

Yay Bellas!! I've been waiting for Brie vs. Steph since Payback. People were also on Chris Brown's side. Doesn't mean I'll lend it any credence as being anything worth my time. That's a fair comparison. Let's just wait until Triple H gets involved and beats up all the girls involved. Then on Raw, he makes an inside joke about internet smarks while Stephanie mom dances to a Rihanna song.

Stephanie should be repackage as a convict gimmick like Nailz, then have her punch Vince for continuity purposes.

Considering those reports that always come out about the Bella's being Vince's favourite divas, this is the first substantial angle they've had to actually sink their teeth into since their debut and it's working.
