I do gotta wonder: Who was the guy in the back who had to tell her that before the taping, and did he ask for a raise right after the ass whooping he must have got?

Is Aksana even a decent or semi-decent wrestler? Or is she more on the K2 side of things? I literally know nothing about her. She's middle of the road, she can be decent in the ring but she is known to have done some bad botches (Failing to properly catch AJ for the springboard bulldog, which was the finish of the match, on the first episode of NXT and falling into the ring during a teased tag with AJ in FCW).

Natalya should just go to TNA. They have Gail, Tara, Mickie, Sarita, Angelina and Winter there who she could be having great matches with..... co-sign If not for the pay and crap benefits I'm sure she would. This is just a disgusting way to treat the best technical wrestling female on their roster, who has proven she can take the ball and run with it. They should've been building their division around her a year ago but instead they just blew it. She has the passion. She has the ability. She has the looks. She has the legacy. This is stupid.

Its pretty disgusting, but its an ages old WWE tactic. If you're a female who can work, your job is going to be to make the girls who can't look good. Oh, and you're probably going to be made to look really stupid in the process. anything to make people forget that you have any ability whatsoever.

I am not a huge fan of Nattie but, I hope this is just WWE's typical, "break them down, make them look stupid and build them back up" shtick.

Although I wholeheartedly disagree with what they're doing, making 5/6 people look bad is a lot easier than making 13/14 people look good.

Why does someone in creative who comes up with ideas feel like embarassing and demeaning talented women like this?
Honestly, somebody backstage must have some sort of issues. It's like they can't go five months without putting someone into a ridiculous, embarassing angle. I actually think farting Natalya is the lowest they've stooped in recent years.
The most talented diva on the roster and she's stuck to farting in a pointless backstage segment and getting jobbed out in ten seconds.
f*** you creative.
Edit: And yes, I'd be pissed off even if it wasn't Natalya. Nobody deserves to be put in shitty, humiliating angles, storylines and segments such as this. I mean honestly, it was embarassing. I was home alone watching wrestling on a Friday night with nobody around and I got embarassed. I just cringed with shame that a fart joke is now apparently the height of humour in the WWE.

Wow. I actually thought this was a thread similar to 'Kane strips Flair of his clothes and burns them' but this actually happened? Jesus.
Who's sink did Natalya piss in to get so buried? Hell I'd say the only reason she hasn't been released by now is because she's with Beth right now. Until the Divas of Doom split up or Natalya gets replaced then I'd say she's at least getting paychecks. I knew WWE's idea of comedy was always horrible but a fart joke? What show is this, WWE or Spongebob Squarepants?

Basically on Smackdown this week she farts in a backstage segment. It apparently smells bad because Teddy Long and Aksana overreact and then Santino almost passes out. Later when she's in the ring Josh suggests she has been eating beans. No, I'm not sure why either. *facepalm* I hate toilet humor. SO much.

I cant really put into words the stupidity of this and how much this company needs to grow up sometimes, especially on one of the few divas with legit talent like Natalya...instead im going to leave it to some trusty gifs

I hope this isn't a Piggie James like angle--where the people backstage are trying to humiliate the person before they release them/humiliate them so much they force them not to re-sign...because I have a horrible feeling this is the case.
How many years into her current contract do you think she is? Could she be hesitating about re-signing so they are burying the character? This is classic WWE policy when female talent hesitates to re-new...unless their name is Trish Stratus.

Thats just depressing. As if they're actually running fart jokes. It's 2012 and someone thinks a fart joke is funny.
I believe Zandig once said something that accurately captures my emotions...

This is classic WWE policy when female talent hesitates to re-new...unless their name is Trish Stratus. Even with the Piggie James thing you could argue that it was to gain Mickie sympathy. But with this, Natalya is a heel and so the audience is supposed to think it's funny. Especially with Santino involved. This is like the "Molly has a fat ass" crap except way worse. Hell, even that could be argued that Trish was using mindgames to play on Molly's insecurities. But this? Unless Tamina somehow slipped a whoopie cushion in, which doesn't look to be the case, then the only end result to to humiliate Nattie for no reason.

I REALLY wish people would stop talking about Piggie James like it was some giant burial by the WWE. She squashed LayCool in 20 seconds to win the Womens title before throwing cake at both of them. It was two heels using cheap heat to get over and build sympathy for a babyface diva. Yes, it was tasteless at times, but lets not pretend that Mickie James came out of it looking like shit.

She lost the title back to Michelle three weeks later then got released after being pinned by Layla (before she gained credibility) two months later. I'd say it was a Humiliation Conga for Mickie for some bizarre reason.
