Paige: New Found Respect

[quadrupleh]

That was the best heel turn I've seen in a long time. At one point, I was actually reminded of Punk's "Pipe Bomb."

[RKing85]

that's definitely what she was going for, but it wasn't close to that level. But it was still very good.

This diva revolution is coming 2 months late. If they had done this right from the beginning, the divas would be in wayyyyyy better shape today. But they have to dig themselves out of the hole they have dug first.

Yesterday and today were very good first steps to getting out of that hole.

I was waiting for a heel turn. She's the one that wants a revolution and couldn't make it happen herself so she had to get tacked on.

She's been complaining recently about how divas need their own pay per views, main events and gimmick matches. WWE has a way of heeling everything good. Charity event? Send a heel. Great ideas like NXT and the diva's revolution? Make the heel owners bring it about.

Divas are getting better. So is the tag division. HHH is turning the company around.

Heel turn always puts smarks on someone's bandwagon. She played her promo towards the net and Total Divas audience "you know what I mean" towards the Bella's(Because Daniel Bryan has so much stroke right?) and Charlottes last name, am I supposed to forget this chick being second gen and being gifted a title shot her first night on Raw?

A shoot is supposed to catch us off guard, this was so transparent I thought it was Becky who was going to turn for swerve sake.

Also, stop callin them pipebombs. Even the guy who coined it, hates that being a thing.

It kinda belittles the people that have lost lives and limbs to the real thing.

My biggest problem: this brought back the damn Pipebomb term! So tired of people using that when someone just cuts a good promo that has some truth in it.
When it comes to the actual turn, I like Paige a lot. Think she's a good heel and her vs. Charlotte should produce some great matches. It does give someone to work with Charlotte after Nikki loses to her, although I think you ultimately go to Sasha beating Charlotte for the title down the line.

I don't get why she's upset from a storyline perspective.

WWE in a nutshell.

[deezy]

Paige brought Charlotte and Becky in to fight Bella's, Charlotte did better in the beat the clock challenge and got two title shots, did what she couldn't and is bitter because of it.

Paint by numbers heel turn, shit don't go your way, you go to the dark side.

That or you could always just use the "put a man or something shiny between two women and they'll slit throats to be the one who keeps it". But that's just life, not WWE.

But didn't Stephanie bring them in? She introduced them. If Paige brought in Beck-lotte then surely she brought in the heel Sasha Banks.

I've only seen it recapped 50 times to start the Diva's revolution. With the US title being so highly regarded no one named it the US title revolution.

#PaigeBomb is what she tweeted. Its just a pun. Enjoy it.

This promo only made sense 2 months later because of the failure known as Hash-tag Divas Revolution. It was the fuel for her fire. "THERE IS NO REVOLUTION" man. Sounded like a scene form LOST.

When Paige got to the Bellas she doubled up on their roast. Notice it didn't get the reaction she anticipated (duration 4:19). I liked the touch of Paige exiting the arena on the side to avoid seeing her co-workers at gorilla. Could it be part of the scene? Could it be a Spontaneous choice by Saraya? Idk. Then when Bella came out from the curtain and dissed Paige it felt like an unscripted reaction to Paige. Wasn't a very good comeback, didn't carry any truth like Paige, but I appreciated her fire! Fresh off Nicki's best match of her career there is hope in this division.

The problem is that it's too crowded. Some of the women like Naomi, Brie, Tamina, and Fox just need to go away. Frankly, I'd be content to never see Nikki again.

[deezy]

Crowd didn't pop or react to what was supposed to be applause lines, more like a lone firecracker than a "pipebomb".

Divas had their chance, given time and we all nitpicked it to the point where we couldn't even enjoy any matches because of who were in it and perceived slights against others.

IWC would've been masturbating in the aisles if TWO women were absent in all this. Bella bias. Why? Because they are going out with top guys? Because John Cena had this major reputation of telling the company of who should be pushed and who shouldn't? Oh yeah that's right, that's just wishful thinking.

[RKing85]

it was suppose to be a heel promo, but it got face pops.

That made me laugh.

Nikki might be the most improved wrestler, male or female, in the company over the past two years. Go watch a match of hers from 2012 and then one from today. Night and day. Brie is still the drizzling shits.

Some of the fat could definitly be trimmed to improve the division. Tamina and Alicia for sure can get the ax. And You need Brie to go with Nikki, but if Brie never wrestled again, that would also help.

[thebenjamin]

I thought it was a good promo but I wanted some violence. Why not attack Charlotte?

And I didn't see the need for Paige to rant about every female on the roster. She talked smack about both heels and faces. And then everything was basically forgotten when she stormed off and the Bellas arrived.
