Still holding out hope that there will be a Liger-esque one off Manami Toyota match
No...not really. Wish it would have happened though, one more match in the US big leagues before her retirement. I have to imagine that WWE tried to make it happen.
A lot of great talent in that tournament though. Best thing since the CWC, easily.

All this hype around this and they are giving it just half an hour, they are flying women in for all over the world to probably just stand on stage at the end. Seriously? I agree we can live without 205 Live for a week.

<Vince> A Full Hour? For one match? Forget it. THE WWE UNIVERSE CAN'T GO A WEEK WITHOUT TONY NESE, DAMMIT!

So, can we talk about the "Road to the Finals" mini-sode here? Charly Caruso with a rundown of the tournament action so far, and the long-awaited 6-woman tag of Sarah Logan/Santana Garrett/Marti Belle vs. Tessa Blanchard/Kay Lee Ray/Jazzy Gabert! -Nigel gets in an Ivan Drago "If she dies, she dies" joke right when Gabert tags in! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) -Santana Garrett using Eat Defeat as a mid-match move, after it's been established as Mia Yim's finish? Kinda not a fan of that. -The crowd's love for Jazzy is throwing off the face/heel dynamic of the match in a big way. But I don't mind it. -Overall a fun match. -Papa bear Triple H!

Holy f***, these reactions for Gabert. Second match in and she's already one of the most over women they've ever had in Full Sail.

If there is anyone signed from this it HAS to be Jazzy, holy hell she just sells herself, seriously.
Also Beth is way smoother on commentary than Lita, but then again, Beth, Tom, and Nigel probably should have been the Tournament Commentary from the jump.

Dumping this in two large chunks in two weeks, while the finale is a half hour?
I get that 'people lost interest in the CWC as it went on', maybe because management botched it, but this was very hard to keep up with. I have other TV shows I like. And other hobbies. I also enjoy sleeping!
WWE need to find a happy medium for these events. Maybe taking a week off before the first and second batch.

Jazzy is over big time which kinda stinks as she's supposed to be a heal but it's no big deal. She can just become the female Braun.
Also, here's some exclusive footage of that Marti Belle sell of Jazzy's fist:

Hopefully after the finals are over, stories will trickle out about signings...

Last chance opportunity for some of these ladies to shine (well, except Logan who is already signed) and it was a decent little match.
Santana still seems like someone playing wrestler to me. All her moves, even the way she enters the ring, it's all stuff more famous wrestlers do. I think she could be really good but she needs her own identity.
Kay Lee Ray and Tessa were both solid. I'd be surprised if Ray got signed, but I think Tessa will get a contract within the next year.
Marti wasn't an absolute disaster, but still was the weak link of the match. I've only seen her matches in the MYC and a little of her TNA work, but maybe after all these years in-ring isn't where she should be.
This match was all about Jazzy though. She was treated like a star by the crowd from the moment her music hit, and you could see Jazzy could barely contain her smile. Everything she did looked great, and they'd be fools if they didn't sign her (seeing as they brought her back for a dark match at the last NXT tapings, I'd say they're at least entertaining the idea).
I think Beth did very well with her first time on commentary. She was prone to a little repetition, which is understandable, but overall I thought she did much better than Lita. Phillips is a very good PBP guy which probably helped her, but maybe she could have a future in that if she so desired.

That's the ones who were already signed beforehand, though (Which everybody already knew), with the rest of the thread being wishlist stuff.

That thread is correct, but those are all women who were signed before the tournament; they're WWE filling the ranks with their own women, as sort of a coming out party for a bunch of Performance Center trainees and a couple more notable women signed over the past little while. What we want are the women for the tournament who impressed enough to get signed, because after this thing taped two months ago it was said that officials were impressed enough with what they saw to end up intending to hand out more contracts than initially intended, and then nothing.

i've heard jazzy is signed/getting signed Meltzer says it's done which makes sense considering the reaction she got in the tournament and that match.

I started to make a list of my favorites from the tournament, but ended up listing like 3/4 of the participants
I'll just say the ones who surprised me the most were Taynara Conti and Bianca Belair. Both are products of the Performance Center I think, and both really impressed me. I loved Conti's judo-based offense, and Belair carried her own in that match with Kairi especially considering her lack of experience.

I know its irrelevant but does anyone else prefer "The Alpha Female" to "Jazzy Gabert" ??

The red carpet special also features a positive role model to female athletes everywhere.....Hope solo. Look, I get that they probably couldn't get Simone Biles, but maybe aim for someone who isn't a total car wreck either?
