I am cool with it because she wasn't really being given a lot to do. She needed a change.

I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy?

[quote timestamp="1624333762" author="@richmarkbut I think getting injured for a year while still mostly setting up the gimmick had more to do with it. I'm glad this was brought up, because people tend to forget this part

You know what just do it. Put your all in to it. Could be fun. Worked wonders for the Hurricane.

Good for her to try something new since I like her a lot but this is right up there with balan wonderworld as the undisputed champion of cringe.

Something is almost always better than nothing, and Hurricane and Molly proved this gimmick works, gets over and you can have fun with it.
Good for Nikki!
Now they need to go further.
Molly can still go, and was recently brought in for a backstage role.
Make it an on screen role as a mentor figure, or even shove them in a tag team and strap them up.

Do vignettes of Mighty Molly training Nikki to be a better superhero and just go wild with them.

Hey if being a superhero was Nikki’s idea then have at it, but that costume looks like dog shit.

Goofy as hell, but goofy gimmicks like this are the reason I started coming to this forum all those years ago, after all. Also why I'm still here. Love having a place like this that can appreciate these fine things in life Molly Holly GOT THE JOB AS A PRODUCER!

She needs a darker color scheme, maybe predominantly black with blue and gold accents. It looks very indieriffic right now.

Yeah, the costume does not look like it was produced by a company that is making billion-dollar deals out the wazoo. It looks really rushed considering. In terms of a gimmick, I guess if she makes it work, it could work. It does seem a bit weird on Twitter she's playing it as though it's a confidence thing even though, like, she's pinned both the women's champion and number one contender over the last few weeks and didn't get anything from it so...this doesn't seem as needed in kayfabe?

Honestly shocked they didn’t do this with Bayley during her “I’m a fan!” run

Seems it was her idea so I’ll give it time, but man I wish she’d be like how she was in NXT.

I personally found that gimmick extremely corny It wasn't good Ambrose crazy, it was just i'm crazy look at me try to act this way

And fits more with what works for the main roster, sometimes.

Also, has to be said, Nikki, if you don’t have superpowers and you wear a costume…you’re a vigilante.

Even if this is her idea, my problem with it is that Nikki was one of the few women on the roster with an actual character, and it was a good character. I wasn't into her on her debut when she was "hit a move then make scary faces" Nikki, but hyperactive over-excited Nikki was great. There was an Alexa match last year with Nikki on guest commentary, and every time Alexa was winning Nikki got so excited that she started hitting Michael Cole. That was probably the funniest thing WWE put on TV all year. With so many uninteresting women on the roster - Natalya, Tamina, Naomi, Dana Brooke, Liv (um... holy crap have they gutted the female roster)- why do we need a complete repackaging of one of the interesting ones?
