So Apparently Emmalina is Done

And it’s one of WWE’s latest stupid ideas.Apparently the character was supposed to be a callback to the Kat/Sable, as in eye candy who can’t do anything in the ring.  Ignoring the fact that WE KNOW EMMA CAN WRESTLE, it really doesn’t work when you look at everything else going on.

 

I find it a little hard to believe that this can be blamed on Emma. The whole Emmalina character was basically “she’s hot” and that’s about it. When you have Charlotte, Bayley, Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks stealing a lot of the shows they’re on (while still wrestling in glorified swimsuits, which are never discussed let alone focused on), a gimmick of someone being good looking really isn’t going to cut it. I have a really hard time blaming this on Emma because it was a stupid gimmick in the first place.




WWE Network UK Launch Delayed Again

With 20 minutes to go, the company announced that it wasn’t launching.  My theories:

 

1. Sky is up to something.

2. They don’t want the UK fans to have the first month free.

3. WWE is really bad at timing things.

 

I’d pay good money to be at a show on the upcoming UK tour if they don’t get it launched before then.  Again, the Falkland Islands, population of less than 3,000, can get the Network but the UK, population of 64,000,000, or over 21,000 times the number of people, have it canceled 20 minutes before launch.

 

This isn’t so much frustrating or annoying as it is pitiful.  Either don’t announce the thing or have it nailed down before you say anything.




WWE Needs To Go Back To Kindergarten

Tonight on Raw, we saw a clip of Swagger attacking Del Rio’s left knee.  Then for Del Rio’s matchhis right knee was taped, because WWE can’t remember left and right.




WWE Never Ceases To Amaze Me

 

Gee, who would have predicted THAT?




Thought of the Day: They Never Learn

WWE is horrible about this and you can see it in their TV schedule for the end of the year.December 24: 3 hour Raw

December 31: 3 hour Raw

Who in the world (besides me of course) is going to sit through three hours of Cena and AJ segments ON CHRISTMAS EVE and the night before the new year?  This is the kind of a night a “Best Of” show is for.  If nothing else, why would you do this when most of your alleged target audience will be going to bed so Santa can deliver them presents?  Oh well, I’m sure it’ll be Ryback’s fault when they get a 1.7 or so, because clearly airing a three hour show ON CHRISTMAS EVE is a perfectly logical idea.




NXT Is Now On Wednesdays

From what I can find the show is now airing Wednesday afternoons at 4pm.  Not that they told us this on the show or anything.  There’s a tweet linking it to another article about it.  I love WWE messing up little things like what time their show is.  I’ll have it up asap tomorrow night.  Sorry to the two people that read the reviews of it.
