Agreed. Joe was one of the few non-WWE castoffs at TNA who could go in the ring and be a character as well. Doesn't have the prototypical WWE physique, but neither does Bray Wyatt.

Wyatt doesn't have the physique, but I have no idea how he is as agile And flexible as he is, on top of amazing stamina for a guy that size. No doubt many pro wrestlers are some of the, pound for pound, best athletes in the world.

Didn't they call him something like an Army tank with a Ferrari engine?

Can't believe Paige straight out called Tamina a man in her promo on Smackdown

So what's the deal with this chick?

I returned to the WWE and RAW around this time last year and a couple of weeks ago when she showed up on Raw (I think) was the first time I had ever seen her.

She's been out awhile until her return like a month ago from ACL surgery. She also had some other lengthy injury before, so she'll be relegated to Ziggler treatment her whole life most likely.

Thanks, I was just wondering as after several years away I returned to watching it basically right after Mania last year and had never seen/heard of her.

She's kinda built a lot like Chyna!

I remember this line, I think it was early in his career as this character, around the time they just stopped chanting Husky Harris at him every other match.

I feel like it was back in the NXT tv show

as a side note, he was one of those rare times where I felt the guy didn't deserve to have his old schtick rehashed (unlike Lord Tensai.......)

I thought Angelico (Lucha Underground for those who don't know) did one of the greatest high flying maneuvers ever in a Trios match a while ago.

Then he went and did this.

I'm saying this as bluntly as I can. Watch these 14 seconds. It's one of the greatest things you will ever see in wrestling, and athletically, arguably in any sport man has come up with since the Aztecs would sacrifice each other after bad soccer.

Some good stuff here

Five to One: NXT Women's Takeover - Cageside Seats
Click to expand...

A good article, altho by the same token, from reading it, I can understand Vince's point of view. What he has done has worked, at least in the past. Even now, Lana is the most over Diva. Not Paige, Natalya, Naomi, Emma, or Nikki. Becky Lynch, Sasha, Charlotte...most of the NXT girls are better wrestlers than Trish or Lita ever dreamed of being. But you stick them on Raw and give them a five star match, and I'm willing to bet they won't get nowhere near the reactions Trish and Lita got.

One thing the writer neglected to realize is that there's a significant difference between the reaction on NXT and Raw. It's almost two different audiences. There's a chance that if you have that match on Raw, it's gonna get crickets. The Cena and Reigns fans sitting in the audience are not the same fans watching NXT.

It is possible tho. It will take time. It has to be a culture change. The difference between NXT women and WWE Divas is that, for the most part, NXT women are treated like fighters. Divas are like high school girls. So they will have to start from the ground up, and build story lines with the Divas that people will actually care about. Not a storyline about a crazy chick and a popular chick, which has pretty much been every Diva storyline for a while. That kinda goes back to the Lana thing. She's not particularly more gorgeous than any other diva, but she has been involved in a significant storyline.
