It's the disconnect between NXT and the main roster booking. - timPhone Jun 12, 13:19 3
- As long as Hunter is booking NXT and Vince is booking RAW/Smackdown, this is going to be a big problem. -- nm - Qale Jun 12, 13:47 1
  - Exactly. Nothing changes until Vince retires or dies. -- nm - timPhone Jun 12, 13:49
- It may be as simple as them being able to wrestle when they know their opponents well and practice. Still, all three have been a trainwreck thus far. - Imperator Jun 12, 13:23
Maybe Vinnie Mac should have spent a few more minutes in actually having women who can wrestle before being down on Paige. - Will Hunting Jun 12, 13:16 9

      - again, super hot, very good wrestler...and she's Santino's girlfriend. -- nm - Tim Jun 12, 14:28
  - Well, that's when you actually have to see if you can build on the women who stayed - Will Hunting Jun 12, 13:24 2
    - It's the standard racially charged storyline the WWE has used for decades now. - Imperator Jun 12, 13:27 1
      - Right, but the main issue is that we need a reason to care about the face-in-peril. It's like booking 101 and Vince has forgotten it. - Will Hunting Jun 12, 13:33
  - I expected her to take time off but to never come back was a surprise. - timPhone Jun 12, 13:21
- Yup, she has no character and is booked miserably despite being the best wrestler on the roster. - timPhone Jun 12, 13:20
