 Saw this and my eyes rolled back Undertaker style. This lady needs years and years of acting classes before she even plays an extra in an X-Men movie. Jade is beautiful. She has superstar presence. I haven't seen her properly wrestle yet, so I'll take someone's word for it if they say she's good. But I've seen two promos now and they weren't just duds, they were bad. She needs a manager or to be a silent killer while she works on talking. |

It's still f***ing insane to me to think "working for a wrestling company will help me land a plum role in a superhero franchise" after Batista said it actually held him back considerably.

A dud is a firework that goes out before you shoot it. Bad is a firework that gives your fingers second degree burns. |

Yeah, she should just try to be an actor. Using wrestling as a stepping stone doesn’t seem like a step she’d need. She looks like that and is rich. Feel like she could just act.

She has the looks and presence to do that for sure. If that's her ultimate goal, she'd be best off quitting this industry, getting a good agent and just going for roles. |

I think she'll learn to cut promos but it's going to take some time for her. I say a year from now she'll be better but right now? She's going to be damn near running drills on the mic. She ain't there yet.

She knows where she wants to be and she is driven, I am all for that. Wrestling chews people up and spits them out, she has a good mindset for it to avoid being exploited by the system. If she just got an agent and just went straight to acting, she'd be a struggling actress in a sea of them, this way gets her on international TV which is a huge leg up after Rock, Batista and Cena have helped dispel much of the stigma around wrestlers turned actors.
She's a lot like Cody, I feel. It will click for her eventually as she doesn't seem like she will let her shortcomings stand in her way.

She needs a manager or to be a silent killer while she works on talking. They paired her with a manager on AEW. That's how bad she was on the mic there (and keep in mind their standards for promos are much lower than WWE). She hasn't really improved now. And her wrestling is very, very, very subpar as well. I won't say its TERRIBLE, but its not good either. She's someone I feel like the hype is gonna die out on fairly quickly once she starts working singles matches that are longer than 10 minutes. |

So basically a tag team title run with Bianca Belair where she won't have to do too much in-ring or on the mic........ |

Jade's promos in AEW were usually short and to the point where it didn't really expose her weakness at them. She also got a catchphrase over, but she can't use "cut the shit" in WWE obviously.

WWE wasn’t owned by a major talent agency at the time. I imagine WWE talent, with legitimate acting ability, will have a much easier time getting their foot in the door going forward. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s somebody specifically working on shit like that, finding opportunities for wrestling talent to make tv and movie appearances. EDIT: I don’t anticipate Jade starring in an XMen movie anytime soon, or anything that big. But could I see Orton in Kevin Nash’s John Wick role? Absolutely, I definitely think we’ll see more stuff like that. |

I really think they goofed with Jade. Not in hiring her, but in going for the immediate "she's the best thing ever push" based solely on 'she has muscles and cool wigs'.
If freaking Io Shirai needed years over in NXT, Jade definitely needed some time in developmental. They over-hyped her to the point where there is no room for the slightest failure.
I'm probably wrong because everyone else seems to be buying into it claiming "presence" as some sort of nebulous reasoning.

It's always interesting when a wrestlers has prescene, charisma, a good character etc but is terrible on the mic.
Jeff Hardy, rvd, Sasha Banks etc.

I've really never remotely understood the hype around Jade. Presence doesn't mean much if you can't talk OR wrestle.
