So the dirt sheets are reporting that WWE officials are disappointed in the crowd reaction Eva Marie got when she returned on Raw. As she was coming back as a face they were expecting a good reaction despite her being booed in NXT.
I swear all the management/writers for WWE live in their own world. What hope do we have if they really think Eva Marie will be cheered by a NY crowd. |

WWE can be really stubborn at times. They've continued with Eva Marie as an inring performer, even though she's awful, simply because she's hot.

I'd be shocked if Meltzer hasn't got wrong info in this case. Even more so considering Eva was clearly playing it up in a heel way on the night. I'd expect she'll either get the pin on Sunday or turn on her team mates. If she does turn on them don't be surprised to see these same dirt sheets pull the "The WWE realised how wrong they were after the Raw reaction and so changed their minds". It's clear that was planned on Raw and they didn't expect a huge face reaction.
Kayfabe wise her team mates were clearly pissed to see her too, they didn't know what to make of having her on their team! I actually think it added a little to a match that has been booked to mean next to nothing. |

The Battle Royal has been moved on to the main card.
Should of moved the US title match to the main card if they wanted to move one of the matches as it is a title match |

Who do people think will finish as the runner up on the Battle Royal on Sunday?
I personally think it´s either Kane or Big Show. Was also thinking that they would put Sandow in that position, but would that be too cruel, i wonder... |

I also think Big Show will turn on Kane and eliminate him, setting up a match for them at Payback! Can see The Wyatts moving on to Brock after Mania! |

I think it will be Mark Henry who wins the Battle Royal. Simply because we all seem to think Braun is winning it and he'll soon be retiring.

A heel's job is to draw heat - yes or no?
Who drew more heat - Bully Ray or Rollins? Forget about the promotion. Forget about their in-ring work. Who drew the most heat? That is all we are debating here. Let's not forget that Bully Ray at the peak of that run was widely regarded as one of the top heels in the business. This isn't a rare opinion I happen to hold - this was a run that saw him in the top 5 on the PWI 500. That was my point and also along with you claiming WWE heels basically don't know how to play a heel, which in my view couldn't be more wrong. Feel free to argument against my point that I made on that one and the people I noted. Quote:

The in ring work will take time, I'd quite like to see her improve her character and personality in and outside of the ring. She's getting ridiculous heat, she needs to lap it up and use it to build herself as a heel. Everything is in place for her, whether she's smart enough to bring it all together only time will tell.

Won't be a popular opinion but I'm not against her like a lot of others are. She's putting the work in and NXT is clearly a good place for her to grow and potentially make it in the business. Believe me, this isn't the first time they've taken a woman with looks and done everything they can to get them to where they want up on the main roster. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It wasn't that long ago that the likes of Nikki Bella were falling into the same category, yet she put the work in and became a perfectly good talent.

She gets heat, but not money drawing heat. She has go away heat. With WWE allegedly rebranding the divas division, you would think they'll be a focus on going with better inring talent and the Eva Marie's and Alicia Fox's just can't work at that level. |

Honestly I go away for a few hours and you all start bitching at each other. ![]() With some exemptions to be fair, honestly is there any need to call other posters delusional, telling them to bore off or that they must be "new to the business" and calling superstars 'indy darlings'? The only surprise is that we didn't get 'vanilla midget' and 'IWC' in there for the full bingo house. On Rollins, I have no intention of getting into an argument if his in-ring style is 'right' or 'wrong' and of course everyone is allowed their own view. I just find his matches and him as a superstar very entertaining. And would add that even before having seen a match of his in WWE, I very well knew how good an in-ring performer he was meant to be along with some of the other ROH superstars from around that time like Bryan Danielson,Nigel McGuinness, Austin Aries (even without having seen ROH or NXT). And for any faults, the guy did win the Slammy for Superstar of the Year last year so he obviously did something right. And before we get into 'well how does that make him a good heel' - Chris Jericho won it in 2008 too back when he was heel and he was brilliant around then. Anyway, I think the whole 'is X a good heel' thing is slightly redundant these days. Fans more than ever now will cheer who they like whether they be face or heel. Lesnar was significantly cheered when a heel and often during Owens matches you get crowds chanting 'Fight Owens Fight' despite both being heels and not exactly doing anything face. Doesn't mean they aren't both good heels. Fans have ended up turning Orton face not once but twice and he's clearly a good heel. Another example is the Steph/Brie feud a couple of years ago. Steph totally the bitch we all (well some of us) know and love in that feud yet the fans were cheering her on. And I don't think we can argue that when Steph really tries that she isn't a good heel (I'm not including the 'belittling people' thing in there as that's a totally different argument that I have no intention of joining into).

Certainly I'd rate Alicia over a few of the other Divas. And of course she and Melina were involved in the best match of all time according to Cameron. And who are we to doubt Cameron?

Wouldn't ever disagree she's got plenty more work to put in but I feel she's got the perfect opportunity to really make this work. |

I need a Wrestlemania to watch in a minute, quick someone name me one - not 12, 31, 9, 17, 4, 8, 5, 15, 27, 3, 2, 1.
First to answer I'll go with. Be gentle, though I've eliminated some of my favourite and least favourite there

http://www.diva-dirt.com/122116/repo...-womens-title/ ![]() Eva Marie can't wrestle and will never be even half decent. I actually think she's a good person and I like her. For someone who is clearly fit, she isn't very athletic or coordinated and can't talk. She is on borrowed time. Even in terms of looks Billie Kay, Peyton, Lexi and Liv match her and all outclass her in the ring. |

Be gentle, though I've eliminated some of my favourite and least favourite there ![]() A fair bit of dross (8 second match and Ashley match anyone?) but also some very good stuff in there. And one of my favourite WWE sets too. Same stadium that's hosting Mania 33 too. |
