No I'm not trolling, I seriously can't understand her appeal Her music- Catchy but stupid it's like fight music from a SNES Japan RPG port Her "dancing"- I just...... what? Ok she is moving her arms I can't understand it why is this neat or cool or funny She's Bubbly and Awkward- And I don't care, she's acting like a spaced out goofball, it's like something you'd expect an attention starved 15 year old girl to do In Ring- She's ok, I don't see anything special Can someone enlighten me, do people just enjoy her quirkiness like a Zooey Deschael thing (another person I can't understand the love for) or is there something actually special about her I'm not getting? I fully agree, but you can't say anything on here because she's a FAN favorite and god forbid somebody dislikes one of: CM Punk, Emma, AJ, Dean Ambrose, or Daniel Bryan. Where the hell did you get that opinion from, if you don't like any FAN Favorite's that's fine, I personally won't think anything less of you, hell I want to punch CM Punk in the head everytime I see him and no-one's attacked me for it, I personally like her, you don't, big deal.

I'm going to drop one hell of a bombshell here, but nobody really cares who you do or do not like. I'm NOT an AJ fan and I find Dean Ambrose pretty overrated, I've posted my thoughts on both of them before and have never been attacked for it. This isn't Tumblr.

She makes me laugh, therefore I am entertained, therefore I am a fan.
To me she has the kind of gimmick that wouldn't work on the big shows, just nxt.

I think for me it was a case of her being overhyped by people on here. I didn't watch NXT for awhile so all I knew about her was that 'she's the next great diva' & 'her dance is the greatest thing since sliced bread.' This is something I will never understand. Why would you know that your response to a person is influenced by completely unrelated third parties... in other words, that it's completely unfair and unreasonable... and be totally okay with that and put no effort toward correcting away from it? Why on earth would you go out of your way to explicitly say that your feelings for her are strongly influenced by extraneous things? I like Emma fine... I wouldn't say she's my absolute favorite. But holy crap, people. Why is there some idea that liking someone because everyone else loves them is stupid, but hating someone because everyone else loves them makes sense?

Yes I'm aware I guess I should be asking "Why is Emma over?" Like why do people enjoy this gimmick it just annoys me when she comes out, perhaps it's only my personal sentiment. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and do a SRS answer. Many find her to have an endearing personality (clearly you don't) and she's a bit of an underdog, that may sound odd as she's booked quite strongly but seeing as she struggles to get in the ring and has lost matches due to her dancing every little achievement is celebrated even if it's just successfully getting in the ring, this is probably best seen in her surprising victory over Summer Rae in the Women's title tournament. You may not like the dance but even that makes her an underdog, she's somebody that really loves dancing despite not being very good at it. People love an underdog, in many ways she's a more competent Santino. Talking of Santino many found her team with her funny, the same good be said about other things she's done like the dance battle, obviously not everybody will find such segments humorous just in the same way as some think Santino should go SRS with a MMA gimmick. Similarly she's good at the little touches, interacting with fan bubbles being the best example, it helps make her a consistent strong character in a division which historically has often had interchangeable divas without strong gimmicks. She's good in the ring by women's standards, she may not be flashy but I'm struggling to think of many botches and she has a certain crispness to her moves, hell she's even managed to make the tarantula look natural on occasion.

It's simple - people can over-hype things. If you hear that she's the next great thing & then watch her stuff & only find her average at best, it's going to influence your decision a bit. All I could ask is: 'what do people see in her?' I wasn't entertained by her dance. A female santino isn't something I need to see, I already put up with Santina years ago. Paige, Sasha & Summer Rae are all better talents in the women's division on NXT, in my opinion. Emma would be the last I would call up.

It makes better discussions you're NOT and can back it up. People put too much opinion and faith in what other people say, good or bad.

I'm not much of a fan either. I can see her appeal, and she's made me laugh once or twice but I'm not really that invested in her.

I don't get why people always feel like an opinion that differs is shocking. Guess what? this forum is filled with people and we all have different opinions. I don't think I've met anyone here who has the exact same tastes as I do and I've never had a problem with someone's opinion* because my enjoyment of something doesn't hinge on your enjoyment of something.
But personally I like Emma and if possible I'd have a "break in case of emergency" container in my living room with a DVD of Emma footage on it that I would strategically use whenever I was having a bad day.
*Although I did boo someone in a thread once for calling Taeler Hendrix a "monstrosity".

Emma is okay, I do worry about the shelf life of her gimmick though. I guess as long as she is decent in the ring it won't be too bad.
I did laugh at the OP basically calling her a fake-ass Zooey Deschanel though, but that's more to do with how weaksauce Zooey Deschanel is.

It's simple - people can over-hype things. And? People have ALWAYS overhyped stuff. None of that should really matter if you're not entertained by what other people are entertained by. It makes better discussions you're NOT and can back it up. People put too much opinion and faith in what other people say, good or bad. I'm just pointing out that if you don't watch NXT & only come on here, you can easily believe that Emma is one of the best things in WWE today; all I saw was a female Santino who's average at best. If someone was to hype a movie up to you as the greatest film of all time - say the Dark Knight - & you go & see it to think 'that was okay, but it was far from the best' then the hype has ruined it for you. You have such high expectations of it that you really have no choice but to be a tad disappointed by it, whether you liked it or not. Even without the hype, I don't see myself becoming a fan of Emma anytime soon. Her gimmick is just annoying & I don't see her doing anything special when she get's called up other than joining Santino in an Elvis costume when they are in Memphis. I just don't see what's so great about her, but i'm sure there's a lot of people who can also say the same about AJ - it's all about opinions & that's mine.

It's okay if you don't like Emma because Emma loves you. It's an EMMA-lasting love.

I didn't watch NXT for awhile so all I knew about her was that 'she's the next great diva' & 'her dance is the greatest thing since sliced bread.' She's okay. She's not the worst & she's definitely not the best. I'm not fond of her at all. yeh,basically this for me.

If you see things that are "far far worse" then use the "Report to Mod" option that is on each post and let us deal with. Snark crap like you posted does nothing but cause issue and doesn't need to happen. And that goes for everyone. If there is something that you feel is against the rules or causes problems, use "Report to Mod" and let us deal with rather than posting snarky crap or trying to take matters into your own hands.
