So, maybe I'm off base or something, but why is it every time I read about Killer Kelly, she's getting jobbed out? She looks awesome and the match with Meiko in the MYC was great.
I don't watch NXT UK (I want to, it just always falls through the cracks), but every time I read spoilers, she's getting her ass kicked and putting over the new toys like she's Kassius Ohno or something.
What's the deal? Is she actually a bad worker and I got on the wrong bus or something?

Promo wise she's a bit so-so, but overall she's good and she also carries herself like the baddest bitch in the arena. I think she's also still relatively new to wrestling, as she's only been doing it a few years.

I think it’s just that the division is so stacked of talent, only a few are going to get spots at a time.
So for every Toni Storm, Jinny, Nina Samuels, KLR, Piper Niven and Jazzy Gabert, there’s Kelly, Isla Dawn, Charlie Morgan, Xia Brookside and others waiting to be able to build in case the top group move to NXT US or the main roster.

Haven't seen anything of her but I like her look in that she's attractive but looks tough at the same time. And Dem Thighs tho. People always talk about Becky and Orton but I per her right up there with both of them in the upper echelon of the thigh power rankings in the WWE. That's all I have to add. I apologize if I did nothing to answer any questions about why she's booked like she is.

I think her still being a bit new/green has something to do with her booking, though.

They;ve got them short calves and for me that takes away from their thighs. They don't mesmerize me like Becky and Killer Kelly's and aren't as amazing as Orton's. Still good maybe tier 2 but not Kelly/Becky/Orton level.

I haven't seen her achieve much of note but with a one hour show on weekly and taped in blocks if you aren't being pushed to the top then there likely isn't much space.
And she is absolutely gorgeous also, which actually does add to her gimmick because she really seems to want to murder people.

I first saw her as a late replacement in the 2017 wXw Femmes Fatales tournament, shortly after she started in the wXw Academy - she had only been wrestling a year or two in Portugal before then, and Portugal isn't exactly the best wrestling scene in the world. She hooked me instantly in her match against Laura Di Matteo, she just has this captivating presence that not many women have.
She's not quite at the top level where Toni, Jinny, KLR, Piper and to a lesser extent Nina are, but long term they should be building around her and Xia Brookside - probably paying for not quite having the top level experience the others have.

She's in that position where she looks good and legit no matter her win/loss record. I don't think I've ever seen her win a match actually. But she's good in the ring and makes her opponents look good.
I'd say Triple H is a huge fan. The way even NXT UK is booked she'd only be a win or two away from a title shot anyway- Nina Samuels couldn't buy a win, then won a couple and is now facing Toni Storm for the title next week.

Let me just say I also love the Queen of Squat Style myself, and hope she'll eventually get her "Horowitz wins!" moment.

Watching this week's episode, I was thinking how surprising it is she gets to keep that name.
Viking Raiders couldn't have "War" in their name so Vince obviously has no idea she exists.

I think she'll get her day, but that right now, they're probably wanting to season her a bit, since like it's been said, she's relatively new.

Yeah she needs to evolve yet. Despite being in the business for quite a while, her real career only started when she went to wXw about a year and a half ago. In Portugal she would make like 7 or 8 shows a year AT BEST (because the Portuguese wrestling scene is so big that the 3 (at the time 2) current active wrestling promotions can't, don't and won't work with each other). Now she makes that number of dates in a week or two.
Portuguese wrestlers are starting to come up in international events more and more these days (especially from the CTW part of things) with guys like David Francisco and Mauro Chaves being based in the UK, Kelly and João Santos in wXw, the CTW guys (Red Eagle, "Superkid" Nelson Pereira and Leo Rossi) being all over Europe and having just done a tour in Japan with HEAT UP... really wish there was more cohesion between the feds so that people like Kelly could make it big faster out there (thus having her actually being pushed rather than just being on TV), but that's my country alright.

I see Francisco and Chaves quite a bit here. Talia Martins moved over as well, she's got very good pretty quickly.

She did have more experience than Kelly when she went to Germany, as Tália was in CTW and they not only run more shows than WP (Kelly's old grounds) they also get international talent that the others don't. For example, the only time I saw Tália wrestle was at a gaming con that CTW also attended and did some matches on to promote themselves. Her opponent? The ever beautiful mouth watering sugary Candy Floss. I know they did wrestle again in a proper CTW show months after.

Funny thing is I'm going to a Pro Wrestling SOUL show later today, where Talia is wrestling Candy Floss!

While she is very good for how inexperienced she is, she is still very young and inexperienced. Plus her facial expressions are straight cornball.
It strikes me less as they're jobbing her out and more trying to avoid another Paige type situation.

She's actually slightly older then Paige and is currently 27, about 5 years older then what Paige when she got her big push. 27 is young but not young enough where I think you have to worry about maturity like you might with someone getting too much too soon in their early 20's.
