I understand she's pale but why did they cake her in white face paint to make it more obvious?

So if a wrestler is popular on the internet, its the writers' fault when they botch promos. Somehow I doubt the Bellas would get the same benefit of the doubt.

It's the writers fault if the lines are shit, awkward and completely unnatural for the wrestler to verbalise. If someone like Paige or Cesaro botch promos because mic work isn't one of their strengths, then it's up to management to protect them. Hiding weaknesses is a core requirement of booking, at least until they improve. If they can't improve, then accept the limitation, and either keep their speaking segments to a minimum, or give them a mouthpiece manager.

All she had to say was,
"I'M PAIGE AND I'M IN A RAGE! I WANT NIKKI BELLA AND I WANT HER IN A CAGE!"

Good lord that was terrible. The material creative gave her was obviously nothing special, but her execution of promos always make me cringe.

To bring up that handy Kevin Nash quote again (paraphrasing): "guys who have never gotten laid and never been in a fight are writing about sex and violence". That sums up the WWE in a nutshell. All women are the same and tapping out is for cowards. Gotta love it. I can't stand Nash, but that is one of the best quotes I've ever heard in wrestling.

All that promo did was make me want to see Tamina destroy her.
Somehow I doubt that was the intended feeling.

Speaking of bad promos, let's talk about that opening promo with Reigns/Ambrose/Kane. I'm tired of the company telling guys to talk to slow and emphasize their enunciation as if they're reading the script with their finger under the lines.

It was bad but it wasn't as bad as people are making out.
It was no Johnny Nitro press conference or John Morrison - R-Truth smoking promo.

I'm gonna be completely frank here; Paige sounded like a dumbass out there. I mean, it takes more than bad writing to make you sound drunk and just plain lost like that. And the transphobic stuff was just bad form.
Paige should just thank her lucky stars that was Naomi instead of somebody like Sasha Banks, who would've made her look completely bush league out there.

I saw a post on here a week or so ago that was really simple, but perfect. I think I will paraphrase and use it here. "Hard Times" was only 3 minutes long. These are wrestling promos, short and sweet please. A long promo involving a couple guys(or girls) who are comfortable and entertaining on the mic can be good business. But, Page and Naomi shouldn't be doing it. Play to the strengths. Also, could Page keep up with the kind of matches the girls are having in NXT roght now. I know when Page was being called the best thing since sliced bread in NXT, no one was to fathom how that division would involve. The girls weren't being given that kind of time or position. I wonder if she could go out on an NXT special and keep up with Sasha Banks? Hard to say. The NXT women's matches, especially since R-Evolution, have just gotten bigger and better. Looking back at it now, the Paige versus Emma matches weren't that good in comparison.

I also hated her slags towards Naomi. Actually, I hate anytime when wrestlers acknowledge that they're supposed to "have personality and be entertaining."
I know kayfabe is dead but on the show they still pretend the wrestling matters right? Why would you need to entertain? Why are you stealing the show Dolph? Rollins is a dirty cheater and winning.

I liked her delivery and passion, but I didn't like what she actually said. She shouldn't have called Tamina a man.
