I listened to this one writer, I forget what show it was on, maybe on the LAW. But one writer had an idea for Chet the Jett, where his gimmick would be a super mark. He would completely mark out for the guy he was in the ring with, but when the bell would ring, he would just beat the shit out of his opponent and he would shake hands with them at the end and be really excited about having a match with them afterwards.
Bailey is doing a good job though. Some people are naturally at acting terrible, but it's a whole different thing to act like you're a generally nervous person. It's the Joseph Park deal.

I haven't seen her but its nice to see new gimmicks for divas. Especially ones that really appeal to most wrestling fans since wrestling fans might be the biggest geeks on the planet.

She's pretty much a non-psychotic AJ. It'll be pretty funny if her and AJ were to ever cross paths.

She has the tools to be a better babyface than AJ with this act. AJ puts alot of effort in, but once she opens her mouth...that voice just screams heel to me.
Bailey kind of reminded me of face Ricardo with her nervous mark persona.

She was really great in the Dusty/Flair segment on the last show, in that 3 minutes I found her to be one of the most instantly sympathetic characters I can remember in wrestling. I agree that there's supposed to be some sort of autistic element to the character but I'm not sure they'd ever actually come out and say it on the show. There's a lot of potential with the character to create some genuinely heartbreaking moments with her. I was already kind of pissed off that it looked like Ric Flair wasn't gonna give her a stupid little woo to keep her smiling.

I'm not sure if this is Sara Del Ray's influence or not but we're seeing all of these non-traditional divas coming through the door. Emma, Paige, Bailey.. all basically the "anti-diva" that WWE has literally written on their site describing some of them. It's interesting. Certainly it's a fresh change from all the model bimbos from the past that couldn't even manage a headlock.

It would be amusing if she was brought up to the main roster as AJ's sister. I remember people saying back in early/mid 2010 that AJ should be brought up as Melina's sister.

Bayley literally makes me go "Aww... :3" every time I see her. Every single time.
Her deal has already said by others. I just wanted to share that.

I want to see her called up as the Bella's little sister. They hate her and only keep her around because their mom makes them. They force her to help them cheat and she only goes along with it because she wants her sisters to like her.

It would work with Chet as he is freakishly built iirc. Anyway, I believe Bayley will last long as most of the others they've signed are untrained models so they'll need new divas who can wrestle in both the main roster and nxt.

I have started watching NXT. She is clearly autistic. And I am attracted to her anyway.

Is NXT only on hulu plus? Sunshine Network carries it if you live in Florida, and I'm told outside the US it airs like a regular WWE show (also on Armed Forces Network). Outside of FL if you live in US, yes Hulu Plus is the only official 'broadcaster'.

They have the toe the line carefully with Bayley's gimmick. Leaning too far one way and she becomes superficial and phony, but leaning too far another way and she becomes stupid and female Eugene.
I liked her on the past two weeks on NXT. She was starstruck with AJ in the promo last week and for the duration of this past week's match, but her starstruck, ditzy gimmick cost her the match. They've played it well so far, but like I said, if they push it too far, she becomes Eugene feuding with Triple H.
