I care, because it gets in the way of actual wrestling, on WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT, a wrestling show! Also because they're detrimental to the company's product, since they take away TV time from people who generate interest. 80 percent of this board was A-ok with the women's division being run into the ground for Michelle McCool's mega-push, which no live crowd ever gave a damn about. Now people complain that the women's wrestling isn't given hardly any time and that they have nearly no decent wrestlers. Gee, you think? In this sea of mediocrity in a buried division? It's only going to get worse with the Bellas on TV. I've gained a reputation for not being a fan of hers but for all my criticisms, AJ is in every way superior to the Bellas. Why is she not the focal point of the women's division, exactly? Considering that AJ is the Divas champ and gets actual angles and promos that are somewhat important and has had quality matches on PPV this year, while the Bella's have had random throwaway matches and segments that are obviously designed to tie into Total Divas I would say that this argument is completely invalid. I feel the opposite. I feel like Total Divas is an engine for the Bellas--not the other way around. Hence my suspicions.

Remember how some said the show was going to be a ratings disaster? How does that crow taste? Oh! I'm one of those people! It's weird. Very weird. Not only is the show doing way better than I thought it would, but I'm actually ENJOYING it. I think it's because it's so transparently over the top. All these women have unique personalities that, in most cases, are more complex than most of the characters on the midcard roster. Nikki Bella: Total snot obsessed with her spot in the pecking order, while secretly afraid of any changes in her life now that she's finally getting where she wants. Well aware being a twin is a huge part of her success so lashes out when her sister doesn't do what she wants. Brie Bella: The nicer, more down to earth sister who tries to have a more balanced attitude but can get pulled by her stronger willed sister. Still, vicious about being the "top dog" in the divas division and will rag on rookies like the best of them. Eva Marie: Career driven, manipulator who isn't nearly as smart as she thinks she is. Has genuine affection for her boyfriend but is willing to slide past it for career opportunities. Really does seem to be excited by the opportunities of wrestling. Naomi: Of the funkadactylts, the more reserved "workhorse" of the team. Often gets overwhelmed by coworkers and pressures of the road. Patient, willing to talk things out even if she has a huge blow up with a friend or partner. Sometimes looks like she's getting dragged along with Cameron's madness. Cameron: Totally out of her depth drama queen who gets upset too easily, but still has pride in what she does. She really does care about her outfits and mania spot, which I think is why she goes off on people so much. Because she knows her role is to go out there and look pretty, not necessarily be talented. I get this real vibe she's going to draw Naomi into more nonsense down the road. Nattie: Workhorse veteran with jealousy underlining everything she does. She works damn hard and tries to be patient while opportunities pass her by, but it clearly frustrates her. Probably the most sympathetic character on the show. Jojo: I think is supposed to be our audience surrogate. Fresh faced, young kid with hidden singing talent who's becoming overwhelmed with both the people around her and the physical challenges of the job. She's a kid, so she's going to make some stupid decisions (like dating Gabriel). I know this much about these characters in three episodes. Yes, the delivery is over the top. Yes, it's obviously super reality show tripe. Yes, they can't pick kayfabe or non kayfabe names with some of these people. I don't care! It's dumb and I love it! Such a glorious trainwreck, but I have actual people to root for.

This proves that WWE marks will watch anything. This is far from the truth, my sister watches it and has no idea who Daniel Bryan is she likes the Khardashian's which is on before this so she keeps the channel on just to watch for more drama

Alvarez lost his damn mind when ranting on this show His rant against Pepsi for discontinuing Crystal Pepsi will never be equaled. Unless he goes off on an anti-Semitic tangent like he did in his cola wars diatribe, of course.

I never said WWE marks are the only ones watching, I'm saying the ratings are higher than they should be because some people will watch anything WWE throws at them.

WWE fans watched the show week one to see what it was about, and keep tuning in because it's pretty damn entertaining. People watch what entertains them, hence the threads here that you use as an example of us being sheeple.
