Does anybody know if Layla has a boyfriend? This dude apparently. twitter.com/iamrichyoung2Seems like it's either a new relationship or he just got on twitter cause Layla's been hyping him up something fierce. Lucky man!

The Women's division in 2014. You say it like it's been f***ing mindblowing before now. Yeah, there's the occasional good shit like AJ, Paige and The Bellas (Apart from this), but there's still some utter shite in it. And yes, I did list the Bellas. I don't care what people say, they can both wrestle pretty damn well, but people shit on them because they like to be special little snowflakes by liking the "alternative", which probably have a bigger following. I definitely don't think it's so much an issue with the performers as it is the overall writing and booking. That's on the folks who ultimately make the call on how matches are done and who gets pushed. That spot was probably pre-approved or suggested by someone backstage. Who on earth thought that was a good idea? The Bellas are firmly in "tolerable" territory for me. They know how to work matches without botching, although their ring-work is paint-by-numbers in terms of psychology and style (not that Paige and AJ are wowing me in those aspects, either). If I were running the division, they'd be mid-tier divas who anchor tag matches and the like but aren't constantly spearheading PPV matches. They absolutely can and should contribute to the overall product; just so long as they aren't pushed beyond their limitations. I didn't watch the PPV or Raw, but I don't see why there's anything wrong with them working with AJ and Paige.

You should watch the triple threat. It was pretty good and went about ten minutes.

I don't know what's worse, that someone actually thought that this looked like a good type of offense, or that AJ actually sold it. What's the logic behind that move? Seriously, that move doesn't make sense.

Nikki worked damn hard in that match. She's so much better than Brie right now

The rope should have been at AJ's throat rather than stomach, though I don't know if they'd allow that.

Seriously, that move doesn't make sense. It looks like she trying to sandwich AJ's stomach between her butt and the middle rope, which would have a similar effect to a bear hug and make it difficulty for AJ to breath.

Nikki has done it like that before www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqpf-1lzdjAaround 2:15 or well Brie did after actually finding the match, but I'm pretty sure Nikki has done it like that too. I guess this time she was going for .... squashing AJ's midsection or something.

Seriously, that move doesn't make sense. One of AJ's positive traits in ring is she sells everything like death, she's a lot like Dolph Ziggler in that way. But yeah, she was way too generous selling this move here.

So yeah, since this is here, I wanted to talk about the guy. So in OVW, I watched him, and he was Atlas DaBone. He wasn't very good in the ring, but he had Slick's "Jive Soul Bro" as his entrance theme, and he oozed charisma. I thought he was gonna be a mega star. He came into ECW, and they really neutered him. He became Ricky Ortiz, so didn't have the crazy name. None of the same mannerisms, no Jive Soul Bro, nothing. It would be like if Superstar Billy Graham from the 70s came around today, and they had him cut his hair, lose the tie dye, stop cutting promos and be called Bill Smith. But yeah, during that mid 2000s period, a lot of guys came in from developmental and really got f***ed over.

Are we sure Nikki isn't just hitting AJ with some hard farts there?

Maybe her daughter with Edge will follow her folks into the business and be just as awesome as them in the future.
