I know a lot of people have a problem with Nia Jax getting pushed after breaking Becky's face, but I do think it's a bit overblown. We can't act like Nia did this on purpose. By all accounts she's a lovely woman and I'd even wager that she was crying when apologizing to Becky. She and WWE are just playing it up as they should really. Doesn't seem like people had a problem with this when Owen broke Austin's neck, a significantly worse injury, and continued to get a push and even wore a shirt that said "Owen 3:16, I just broke your neck" for months after.

The one I feel bad for is Sexy Star since she never got rewarded with a match against the most famous wrestler on the planet after carelessly concussing people.If only she was related to The Rock

I think a lot of people is sour on her because she keeps injuring other performers and gets no reprimandation whatsoever, when it's obvious she needs to go back to the training center and train some more but because of who she's related to she keeps getting pushed despite the fact that she has injured several people so far. like Bayley, Vega, Sasha, Becky Etc

The thing is, no, you can't attribute it to malice. But yes, you CAN attribute it to incompetence. This is not an isolated incident, this is a pattern of her for really real hurting people, in a sport where the whole idea is to not do that. She's literally doing the opposite of her job. In most lines of work, that would, at the very least, call for some serious re-training. Instead, because she's The Rock's cousin, not only is she not getting that, she's being rewarded for being unsafe.

Facebreaker is what I call Rpad Dogg’s booking style.

Yeah, who does she think she is? Countless heel wrestlers, including Seth Rollins when he broke Cena's nose?
Until wrestling invents a time machine to undo injuries, wrestling will eternally milk injuries for credibility, heat, or sympathy. People are decades late to being mad about it, and being Rock's cousin didn't make her case any different, unless I missed where Chris Masters was a secret Anoa'i, given they briefly hyped up his Polish Hammer after he accidentally broke Steven Richards' nose with it.

I like Nia, but I get that people don't, but for a forum that breathes wrestling, we forget the basics like goldfish when it suits us. I can hardly forget "The Crippler", Afa Benoit, breaking Sabu's neck and milking it. Those damn Canadian Samoans. |

Stop polishing your fist. Once or twice was funny for heel heat. We have now reached a level of obnoxious repetition not seen since Dana Brooke couldn't stop rubbing her body on her NXT entrances.

Doesn't seem like people had a problem with this when Owen broke Austin's neck, a significantly worse injury, and continued to get a push and even wore a shirt that said "Owen 3:16, I just broke your neck" for months after. This. I know Becky is the current IWC darling, but yeah. This is hardly a new thing. Off the top of my head... - Owen 3:16. - Chris Benoit getting a nickname for (the rest of his) life after what he did to Sabu. - Accidentally injuring Bruno altered to kayfabe and added to Stan Hansen's legend. - King Mabel's legit injury to the Undertaker's face being made part of their feud. - As it was before my time, was "I broke Wahoo's leg" based off of a legit injury? Imagine if we all snowflaked that out of existence at the time, if so! Accidents happen. Should Nia be encouraged to work safer? Sure. Otherwise she'll come off like, well, Mabel did in the 90s ("Well, they accidentally injured X, Y, and Z, but let's push them because reasons."). But come on, Rollins I believe never got depushed or punished after his reign of terror. Rey was involved in an accidental death outside of WWE (which probably answers my question) and he's still welcomed with open arms. The highest profile punishment for a legit injury I can recall was D'Lo pretty much being mid-to-low-midcard for life after the Droz incident. (BTW, as far as exploiting real injuries and accidents, not too long ago Richie DeGregorio, a promoter in NJ, was pushing a photo op with D'Lo and Droz at one of the conventions in our area. D'Lo no showed, so the point was moot though.) |

I Think someone brought up the Owen/Austin situation like Owen wouldn’t be rewarded and got answered back yes he actually did. He got T shirts and another match with Steve It was a stupid f***ing mistake by Nia and she has some on her record that she needs to clean up but people calling her out her name is uncalled for If WWE can capitalize on a mistake and it seems to be Becky is cool with it and it helped her in a weird way then so be it. Nia is just fodder for Ronda but it no doubt has gotten her a ton of heat with the fans as seen at survivor series |

The thing I don’t like about Nia Jax is she is a horrible professional wrestler who hasn’t improved in any aspect since getting called up.

You can tell she's a bit conflicted about it and feels bad for stiffing Becky as she had a bit of an uncomfortable grimace on her face when she was flexing her fist tauting Rousey last night.

No, no, you're confused, OBVIOUSLY you just hate her for no reason because that's the groupthink right now. It has nothing to do with her being pretty much mediocre at best in every aspect of the game. |

Making a storyline out of it is fine. But nia has hurt countless f***ing other.
It’s a trend and she’s unsafe.
