 I wasn't too familiar with Cora, all I know is that she was very young (I was not expecting 20 jesus) and a big CM Punk and AJ Lee fan. I love the skater girl look she has going, screw the incel crowd chanting she can't skate! The performance in War Games was awesome, I can't get over her selling. I thought she was almost dead for real. So thrilled she picked up the win for her team. This girl has a big future. Also shout out to big sister Io! |

How do they know if she can or can't skate?

Legit I'm shocked she sold her arm that good. Up until Io closed the door it felt like she for real f***ed her shoulder up.

She's been on a roll lately. 🔥 Not too long ago, she was still yet to win her first tv match in any company and now suddenly (but deservingly) she has beaten Mandy Rose in a non-title match AND won the War Games for her team.  She's only 20! It's crazy. Definitely a future champion. |

How do they know if she can or can't skate? Dynamic Dudes with skateboard/Van Hammer with guitar rule: if you carry a prop all the time and no one ever sees you use it, they will assume you do not know how. I remember Cactus Jack mentioning having a bullwhip in I think WCCW, in Texas, and that he said the crowd was initially interested, but after 2-3 times, realized he couldn't possibly know how to use it if he never showed it off in that amount of time. |

I always thought she had potential. But they WG match could end up being her breakout performance.
She sold phenomenally well, especially for how young she is.

How do they know if she can or can't skate? She's a woman, so they will assume she can't. Speaking from experience. |

Maybe I am showing a lack of knowledge, but that skateboard looks too small for her to use, which makes me immediately think that at minimum she can't use the one she has.

Yeah, looking at that picture, that doesn’t look like something even her size should be using as an actual skateboard since that doesn’t seem remotely stable. But I’m also not an expert so I also could be wrong. |

Her selling was dope and I think they booked her correctly last night.
She’s got potential as a underdog babyface type.

Gonna say that even if she can't skate, a bunch of weirdo creeps yelling at her isn't really standing up for the memory of Tony Hawk's ghost.

Her gimmick is that she’s a skater. It’s not real. I don’t see what difference it makes to anybody whether she can actually skate or not. |

Cora Jade is a bit green when it comes to the in-ring work, but her selling is top-notch. Makes me think that she’d be well-served in the tag team ranks while she further develops her skills. Also they really shouldn’t rush the title onto her just yet. With her youth, they have plenty of time to build her until her in-ring abilities are more refined while they build up her fan investment. And her being an underdog, it would be better for her character to play the long game and have her deal with setbacks and adversity instead of getting everything right away. |

I haven't been watching NXT (like Raw and Smackdown) but I'm going to watch the specials/PPVs. Based on that, this was my first look at her in a match. For being 20 years old, I'm blown away. I thought she was out of commission with her shoulder. She sold that beautifully. Her facials are tremendous. She looks like a 20 year old that MIGHT be out of her comfort zone... but she gets by on instincts alone with her being so new. You can totally believe that, kayfabe and in reality, when (if) her skills catch up to her instincts, she could be REALLY, REALLY good.

Hey, I can't balance myself damn shie'et while skating, but I'm still a Bob Burnquist by heart!  |
