Beck Vs Brie on Main Event instead. Weird one.

No need for a spoiler.

Perhaps:

a) Maybe they decided not to feed Becky to Nikki (at least saving it for Raw)

b) Maybe Nikki is icing Cena's nose

c) Vince changed his mind on something. :eek:

Edit:

Nikki was at ringside:


So scratch B.

Liked Becky's Smackdown package:

On balance I think Becky received a better character and music compared to Charlotte. Charlotte's entrance is a grating drone and her "generically superior" moniker is so heelish to me. Becky is more of an aspirational/inspirational character.

Watched Becky's Main Event match with Brie Bella. Becky was definitely positioned as someone well regarded - a main event win over Brie. But Becky's standard TV offensive specifically the leg drops and the kick in the corner in particular does nothing for me. I know WWE is the five moves of doom company but Becky's chain wrestling is what got me interested in her back in the day and what helped tear down the house at NXT Takeover: Unstoppable. She'll do more than fine on her personality alone but her chain wrestling and razor sharp reflexes are the traffic stoppers to me as a long time devotee. So I hope she gets the opportunity to showcase her actual strengths bell to bell.

Brie Bella wouldn't be the best option to start trying that with in fairness. You'd like to think if she and Sasha get a match at some point that they'd have a bit more freedom. Probably wishful thinking though.

Finally was uploaded somewhere:

Promo around the 12 minute mark and match at 24 minute mark.

Watched it the second time round. Cool to see her full entrance and displayed on the video walls. Pay attention to Lawler's commentary during Brie-Becky. Two man booth with Rich NOT a 3 minute match with others guest commentating. Jerry clearly doesn't know who Becky is, doesn't watch NXT and most of all has had a clear talking to about being a pervert anymore. Becky selling her surprise at winning is the type of stuff that will get her over as a babyface.

Will be able to challenge for the WWF European title soon

Watched the match earlier it wasn't a classic but Becky did the best she could given who she was working with. She did come across as very likeable and the crowd seemed to warm to her.

The White Feather

Don't Feed Her More! :pac:

Never been able to properly judge weights. Dunno not from farming stock or something. I know they just got the figures from Wikipedia but how is Becky 135lbs compared to the rest of the list?

Pentecost

Certainly doesn't look 15 pounds heavier than Paige for example.

Bayley and Kim is a bit off alright too.

Becky comes across as a gym hound and is quite tall.Muscle tissue is heavier than fat and she may have a lower body fat content than the rest.

Muscle weighs 3 times more then fat.

No it doesn't

Seems nitpicky, but it's 18% denser than fat.

Poster to poster keep this safe for work.

Becky's faction name made TMZ:

The WWE just made a XXX-sized oops ... by naming a group of their Divas after a hardcore porn series -- which likely directed their fans toward the wrong kind of pile drivers.

During "Monday Night Raw," WWE unveiled Submission Sorority -- the new official team name for sexy Divas ... Paige, Becky, and Charlotte. Sure, it's a badass name ... but an Internet search for the team points you to tons of links for a porn series called HazeHer, produced by BangBros.

Social media went nuts after 'Raw' -- some people thought it was hilarious, but others were pissed kids could be exposed to porn.

BangBros traffic analyst Delilah Mcginnis says their web traffic shot up 56% overnight, and they saw a 35% rise in subscriptions.

Not shockingly, we're told the porn co. plans to send Vince McMahon a 'thank you' gift basket -- God only knows what will be in it.

Meltzer in the lastest Observer says WWE may change the name to Submission Sisters.

It sums up what they think of the Divas Division when no one can be arsed to run even the most basic of Google searches before launching the name of the group....

For sure. Also a point Wade Keller made that most Irish people aren't exposed to is there's scandalised element to sororities and fraternities in America one major example are all recent news reports of on campus rapes in US Colleges.

Agent Coulson

Also to go alongside the the whole porn link I can't get past seeing the WWE having SS on merchandise if they abbreviate Submission Sorority or Submission Sisters.

Pentecost

I love the fact that subscriptions went up 35%. "Hmm what's this? I like the sound of that"

riffmongous

Has anyone googled submission sisters? I'm in work and afraid too as it sounds like it good also pretty easily be the name of a few NSFW vids

They've dropped the name and maybe renamed them but it is probably just a placeholder:

That's looks more like it. .92 vrs 1.08, or so. Which is a tiny difference.
Becky is slightly leaner, is at all. It's not going to make her 15-20 lbs heavier.


Wrestling bill weights are exaggerated. Most likely the weights are just pulled out of the air and Becky's bio writer didn't lie as much as the others.

On Raw the audience didn't get into Becky's babyface in peril segment. You can say the crowd was dead by then but still Becky didn't get them to care one iota.

On Smackdown the ending was super messed up. There's a lot of discussion about it online.

Naomi didn't tag in for whatever reason. Seems like Becky missed her cue but I don't know exactly when. Naomi was pretty frantic in breaking up the pin. At another stage Becky half way climbs into the ring and then decides against it. Also it looks like Naomi cusses Becky out at one point.

Sasha made light of it:

Looked good here at least:

Seems like Becky is making her WWE Live Event debut this weekend working Victoria, BC and Vancouver, BC Saturday and Sunday. Becky lived there at one stage with her cousins when she to break into Pro Wrestling properly. So that's a cool full circle type thing.

Nicole Matthews is the current SHIMMER Champion. Becky was her first ever match:

Becky did debut last night in a six man against Team BAD



Wrestling Observer Radio opened with the subject of the Divas tag on Smackdown. According to Meltzer that wasn't the planned finished and was meant to go another segment.

The new gear she wore this weekend. Just posting it case I am missing what she is referencing:




Very early 90s.

CastorTroy

I was about to say I don't like the shorts she wears at the moment. Don't know is it's the frill or the bagginess. They just don't look right. And I don't mean that in a "She's a woman so should wear tight shorts way". Just they don't seem right.

The Ayatolla

Whats with the tights these days? They nearly all have them.
