That Divas Revolution, You Guys! (Stick A Fork In It)

[Deleted]

I'm not entirely sure this whole thing didn't come about from a typo of Revulsion judging by that match. Just... Wow, that was terrible. And it feels like it still hasn't ended.

[Jiren]

f*** the Bellas off, and have one of the 4 horsewomen win the title (Becky for me) and have her feud with the rest of em

Some decent feuds/Matches there.

[Blindkarevik]

Tonight, I actually got pissed enough to just say.. f*** the Diva's Revolution. Send Paige, Becky, Charlotte and Sasha back to NXT where they'll be used properly. Nikki can hold the worthless Diva's Title for 30 years for all I care. Just sit there, doing hairwhips and roll-arounds with Summer Rae and call it good. NXT will hold it down for women who want to be wrestlers.

Pay the Horsewomen main roster money, and build the real women's division in NXT with them in it.

If Vince wants the divas stinking up the joint on the "main roster", cool. But I'm sick of watching the future of women's wrestling get sunk.

[MGH]

In the past seven days I've watched both Bellas get in the ring with Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch and make them look like they're stumbling around lost trying to make these matches work.

I've spent well over a year watching those two roll out awesome match after awesome match in NXT. It takes a really special kind of mediocrity to make two women that good look that uneasy.

[cabbageboy]

Could it be any more blatant that Team BAD have no point existing? Why even debut Sasha Banks in THIS gimmick? They're a 3rd wheel of a faction in what should have been Paige enlisting the services of Charlotte/Becky in the Bellas feud. Thus after a classic with Bayley last night we get very little of Banks tonight and her side is eliminated with no fanfare.

The NXT ladies are good at wrestling each other because they practice doing that, but they by no means can carry the crappy likes of the Bellas, Naomi, Tamina, etc. As far as tonight goes, why not just end it with Charlotte and the Figure 8 on Alicia Fox? What was gained by breaking it up and then Becky beats Brie?

He's an idiot but he has no impact on booking

Step 1: Call up NXT Divas
Step 2: ?
Step 3: Divas Revolution

couldn't agree more. What's maddening too is they keep booking matches like this that are bound and determined not to be good just for what they are.

But honestly my biggest gripe is them completely ignoring the previous night's 5 star classic and what we saw after the match. Watching banks slap becky and heelish toward charlotte and pretending nothing happened the night before, that pissed me off. They act as if nxt and wwe are literally too separate universes and realities...where we just did not see banks hug it out and crying her eyes out with becky, charlotte, and bayley the night before. That's absolute garbage booking and insulting to the fans imo. Yes it was a curtain call but when you show it on YOUR network..the SAME network you are showing summer slam on, you can't pretend like it just didn't happen!

[kingoftheindies]

As I said in 2 other threads everybody involved was put in a fairly no win situation with how they were booked tonight.

But also, and this is not meant as an insult to any of the older divas involved, but no matter how much they improve or try to improve they just aren't able to hang with the NXT girls. Just different levels of skills.

Now if you want to say that the NXT girls (and I'll include Paige and Emma in that too) need to compromise and slow down from what they're doing at NXT maybe you have a leg to stand on, or maybe it's just a chemistry thing, but it just isn't working right now...

And I also stand by the opinion that the how the Bellas and Paige have been booked have made people just not care about them.

[One-Armed Drummer of Defrebel]

That match was probably the most miserable thing I've seen since Triplemania.

This match is the reason why the aliens aren't coming near us for another year. They expect workrate, you see.

Yep..this has been my biggest complaint from the start. Banks should have been teamed up with them from the start or have paige turn heel on becky/charlotte with banks making the save or something. if they still wanted groups, they could have stuck paige with naomi/tamina for reasons. But to just stick her with those two stiffs for no other reasons than their color is lazy, pathetic, and unworkable.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

Like I said in another thread, it was as good as it could be given the number of people in it.

Hopefully now we're past the big group thing, we can get some singles feuds happening, including one around the title, and get this thing back on track.

Oh, and giving up on it? That sure as f*** ain't gonna bring any of the changes that people want. And that goes for both WWE and their fans.

[Chestnutrice]

Go from having one of the best women's matches in the history of their company, to the typical custerf*** divas matches that we get every night. #divasrevolution

You also saw 3 women who had 2 or 3 years of working and practicing with one another now try and work with people they've had maybe 3 matches with at best. I am not saying Brie, Naomi and Tamina are good but to compare the few matches they've had with Sasha and Charlotte against the hundreds or more that Sasha and Charlotte have had against the likes of the NXT women isn't exactly fair. Those two against any NXT woman, they could shit out a decent match blindfolded they know each other so well.

Well, I don't know about all that.

I've seen good matches with that exact same amount of people in it or even more. This was just a bad match. The match type didn't play to anybody strengths but it wasn't some huge detriment, especially considering that 1/3 of the participants were gone for the second half.

The action didn't click tonight. *shrugs* It happens sometimes.

And in the same building in front of at least 75% the same crowd.
