This is far from the first time I've seen that kind of opinion; the Voices of Wrestling Twitter account mentions it a lot during NXT shows.

And does anyone REALLY want to see a WWE version of the Smokeshow gimmick? Does anyone actually think they would pull that off in the way that Scarlett has always tried to do it?

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Oh i was only using it as an example if someone signed and stripped of all the reasons she was wanted in the first place. It would be terrible and I said when she was signed how the gently caress are they going to do The Smokeshow and they instead just made her a haunted member of the Nightmare Collective.

It would also rule to see how terrible it is because their current "smokeshow" is a school girl coded ingenue with mental illness via possession.

Gotcha.

Also, you gotta keep in mind that she's a huge wrestling geek who just happens to look like the opposite of a stereotypical wrestling geek. She was a regular in the crowd at Shimmer shows as a teenager, after all. Of course she's going to want to show her range and try something completely different.

Smoke show is when Noob Saibot reprogrammed Smoke into serving both as his ally and a template for a future army of cyber-demons. just kidding. if you say what a smokeshow really is, you'll get put on probation. But you can keep saying the word which is describing what it is. Smokeshow

Scarlett's nickname in Impact, where she started out as a mean alpha female heel but eventually went babyface by ramping up the "empowered woman who is comfortable with her sexuality" gimmick. Impact has its own share of issues, but I cannot possibly imagine WWE doing a non-hosed up job with that gimmick.

I'm sure third time will be the charm for the Emmalina gimmick in that case.

Scarlett has definitely gone the extra mile to make sure her character looks the way she wants in NXT. Whether that is good or bad we will have to wait for someone who has watched NXT to stumble onto the forums, but she's definitely invested!

Scarlett could make people actually die just by looking at her and I still don't think that would be capable of getting a nickname like "Angel of Doom" over

This sentiment is funny because despite all their problems the one thing you definitely can't say is that the AEW women's division hasn't raised anyone's stock. They started out without any real huge names (or at least not any huge names in the US) and more than a few complete unknows and now they're at a point where they're putting out some of the best matches in the company and are a legit draw.

The one real positive about AEW women's division is you can sign with them and get national exposure immediately. Leyla Hirsch was appearing on Dynamite just a couple of weeks after first showing up to job on Dark. If she'd signed with WWE at that point she'd still being hidden away in the PC for the next 6 months

Unless Vince decides that he doesn't like you in which case it's 6 years.

E: Also it ought to be mentioned that unlike Vince Big Bicep Tony isn't as likely to lower your stock by putting you into some humiliating garbage angle.
