The Mae Young Classic Thread (NO SPOILERS)

[Feargus McReddit]

On the one hand, it sounds too outlandish to be true. On the other hand, that's why I'm more likely to believe it than most other things.

This again comes down to the ridiculously large divide between developmental and who HHH is hiring and the people on the main roster who a) don't want to pay attention to what's going on and b) don't seem to be happy by the people who get signed, eventually get called up or have anything for them to do when they are calle dup.

I'm not saying you give them more input or all the input but, again, if you aren't happy with what is going on in other parts of your company...you can do something about it. You can do A LOT about it. Most of those being the words 'do your goddamn jobs'.

When I read it the first person I thought of was Kevin Dunn.

The WWE.com article announcing Toni Storm read:

Born in New Zealand, raised in Australia and based in the U.K., she wrestled in 13 countries before age 20, capturing championships along the way. With an aesthetic flair that finds inspiration in ‘80s rock, plus a ring style that is equal parts technical and hard-hitting, Storm looks to impress on her biggest stage yet in the Classic.

Maybe WWE wanted her to represent Australia since Dakota Kai would already be representing New Zealand.

The clincher is that the WWE New Zealand account made a big deal about Dakota Kai being the first woman from New Zealand in the WWE, after Toni was already announced.

We'll just do what we always do in this situation... If she wins the tourney, she's Australian. If she doesn't, she's a New Zealander.

Wait, did Piper Niven pull out? She's someone who was confirmed by WWE, but isn't in that 32.

From what I can gather, this means Jessica James and Miranda are alternates, but there has to be one more if Niven is still in it, unless she's been switched out late.

Piper is in. That means one of those in the list will be an alternate.

Rip Rogers posted a pic from Orlando on Twitter which features Deonna Purrazzo, Jazzy Gabert and Nicole Matthews. Maybe Matthews was undisclosed due to Canadian border laws?

I want to err on the idea that "some people within WWE complain that the women hired aren't all 'hot enough'" sounds too insane to be true, but it's really not. The people in the company who decided to hold back the entire women's division for years and limit what it could be did it for some pretty clear reasons, and it's not a stretch to think those reasons haven't changed for them, regardless of how things are actually progressing right now.

Charlotte just confirmed on Instagram that Mia Yim is in.

I still don't understand why Vince listens to anything that rat-toothed bastard has to say.
