Strangely, he did well for himself in the UK and Ireland. Hell, over here he was booked against Suzuki for OTT’s big stadium show. Also helps he’s American so we can likely excuse it as “hey, that’s a cool name and he’s a crazy mofo” rather than “hey, he’s associated with the woman who still stains British politics after death”. Also a featured attraction of Progress and WXW as part of RINGKAMPF. I was never aware of his work in the US when I first saw him and just assumed he was British. Yeah, he's sort of like how Speedball Mike Bailey (partially due to the travel ban but even before then) basically became a big European star that you'd almost forget he was Canadian.

Also saw him at Discovery Wrestling in Edinburgh. Beast of a man in person. I don't care what's said, you won't convince me that he isn't British. He's the result of some stuff that was spilled in a British pub.

He had this gimmick for a while where he wore an England rugby shirt and put on a British accent that's only mildly convincing because it's not the one every other American trying to do a British accent goes for. I still couldn't tell you why though

Oh shit, it's The Beace of Shit? Hooray! WWE finally debuting a pretty over indie wrestler that I don't care that they have. So will everyone hate her because she hurts people, because her ring work isn't anywhere near as entertaining as you expect it to be or bullying half the locker room? Shit with a reputation like hers she'll be Beacky Two-Belts in no time in the brass-ring-grabbin' WWE. I feel like whoever Blair Davenport ends up being will be disappointing compared to our version of them. One day Christian will have a Malaysian wrestler as a cornerman and we'll all be making nervous eye contact in the live thread Priestley's new name sounds like she's getting a businesswoman gimmick. I mean, I always thought it sounded like the lead antagonist in a Mean Girls rip off. My immediate thought was 'character in a Bowling For Soup song'

And the uk women's division continues to be stacked. I assume this is just short term and Bea eventually makes her way to main nxt.

God Bea f***ing sucks.
It's a good thing they have Meiko Satomura around. The second Bea starts being a pain in the ass, she'll get kicked into another dimension.

I do wonder how long Bea will last if she starts giving attitude again.

Oh shit it's Bea Priestly???
F***********ck.
What a waste of a name/potential gimmick.
The name doesn't fit her at all. She needs to be called Doucha Manipluativara.
Mod Edit: I get it but don't filter dodge. - eJm
