I can see Dana Brooke becoming pretty good.

[1 Free Moon-Down with Burger]

Sure she could. That's why she's in developmental. To grow and learn! I hope she does become awesome. Eva Marie too. The more the merrier.

[Big Poppa Pumpkin]

I'm telling you, make her gimmick 'female Scott Steiner' and she will own.

She might end up being a sleeper hit in a few short months, and I'm going to laugh like a hyHena when she does. Do you think so? If I were to rate her against the Shimmer roster, she'd probably be slightly above your favorites...but I digress.

Right now? Incredibly stupid comment to make.


In a few months to a year from now? Probably accurate.

Yes, I'm aware. 

[DrBackflipsHoffman]

if we're reclassifying joke to mean flamebait then yeah it was a joke

[Perfect Timing]

I'm in love with her.

[Final Countdown Jones]

When she debuted, it was mostly ironic appreciation, but she's starting to grow on me. She's improving, has a lot of the tools physically speaking to come into her own, and she has just natural qualities like her voice and the cadence of it that will make for good natural heel traits once she's stronger on the mic. She's a work in progress, but if she can keep at it, she could one day become good enough to hang with the Horsewomen.

[El Cokehead del Knife Fight]

She has a good character, essentially she's a real life version of Tammy from Bob's Burgers. You know, the alpha bitch that is clearly full of shit that most people only tolerate being around.

[魔界5号]

She still has a really long way to go in terms of ring work. She's clearly very very green and needs to continue working with experienced girls like Asuka, Billie Kay, Peyton Royce and others to improve on that front. Teaming with Emma is going to help her too.

I enjoyed her promo last night, though.

[ThankGodForSidJustice]

I think she has potential as she has a lot of confidence and is already pretty good as a character. I like when she pats the interview girl on the head, little things like that really make a difference. I've seen people on here compare her to a condescending midwestern mother and I think that's pretty spot on. Growing up in the midwest I've come across several women like her, just without all the muscles of course.

She still needs work as far as her in ring work goes but I think she's getting better. Obviously management must think so too with them putting her against Asuka for the next Takeover special when they easily could've just put Emma in there instead. I think that's a good sign of faith for her as they have enough confidence in her to put her in a big spot against a girl making her debut.

[Madagascar Fred]

I like wrestlers that improve and obviously try their hardest to get better, and I definitely appreciate her busting her ass to do so. Her ring work is getting better, the clumsiness is slowly disappearing, her mic work is pretty good already and she got her character down pat pretty much

[Lance Uppercut]

I too am starting to enjoy Dana Brooke for reason I can't understand. It just looks like she's comfortable and starting to "get it".

[Allie Kitsune]

Dana started to win me over with her "REMIX!" on Devin Taylor.

Otherwise, I like that she's embracing the meta-heel aspect of "I didn't come from a wrestling background and I didn't dream of this all my life", and doing a better job of projecting and embracing that persona than Baron Corbin does.

[PKO]

I could see her being the next heel jobber for the Divas Division. They always need a heel enhancement talent, along the lines of Victoria, Jillian, Alicia or Aksana. The common criticism of when someone falls into that role is that they deserve better (except in Aksana's case: she didn't work as enhancement talent because she sucked pretty bad in the ring).

Dana is really annoying, but she looks pretty safe in the ring and takes her opponents offence pretty well. That's perfect enhancement talent there. With more promising prospects all around her, I don't think she'll ever be the "star" and that's okay.

[Deleted]

I've got no problem with her. She's not a....Network-logging-off-er or anything. Quite interested in seeing her get her ass whooped by Asuka, in the good way because she's a good heel.

Jobbers typically don't get the sort of theme music that Dana Brooke was given, though.

[Bo Rida]

Most NXT's female wrestlers seem to have got the in-ring stuff down and then developed a character. Dana has gone the opposite route and it's working pretty well for her, she's got the little touches down that usually come much later in development. Her in-ring work is improving too.

So yeah she definitely has potential and it no longer feels like she shouldn't be on TV.

If only we knew what she (and Jason Jordan) keep staring at.

It's weird, when Dana does it, it looks like she's reading a script.

When Jason does it, he looks like he's on the verge of a Bubba Ray trance.

[Crappler El 0 M]

I think she's got potential.
