Now I do not know whether I was then a head coach dreaming I was a Saints fan, or whether I am now a Saints fan, dreaming I am a head coach.
I wish Bray actually sounded Cajun at all if they're going to start actually announcing him as being from Lafayette.

The thing is, if they debut him in WWE and keep the gimmick, they really don't even have to film new promos. His debut segments still completely set the tone for his character:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqz-3B-Uzc8&t=16m08s (promo @ 16m, match @ 22m)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmtvjQ_LaDA

And that Mark Crozer song is perfect for him. :allears: I'll be sad if they can't keep using that due to licensing (FCW/NXT seems to use copyrighted entrance themes a lot). I could actually see Kane's character really buying into the Family. I mean, the dude wears a dead skin mask. What's he doing being goofy and hugging out his problems?

WWE NXT wrestler Jake Carter, who has features similar to The Miz, also shares the same name as Miz's character in The Marine 3. No word yet if this will still happen but there was a plan last year to create a Jake Carter character in developmental that would eventually move up to the WWE main roster and feud with The Miz once the movie came out. Carter is the son of WWE Legend Vader.

It's not the personality. The entire character is solid and works well. It's a way more likeable and attractive Chyna who can stick to the Diva division instead of diverting into "wow that chick is so manly I bet she can fight men!" garbage. She can easily go heel or face and I can believe both given the ring/character.

In the ring I think she's solid. She's a wrestler, not a model, and it shows. She's not lost, has a pretty large moveset, including some flips and poo poo that the crowd loves that she hasn't been using a ton in NXT, as well as two submissions that she held as strong finishers and two moves she's been using as match finishers - a cradle DDT which looks absolutely brutal and the Paige Turner which looks like crap but hits fast and has way less build than her possibly-too-technical-for-camera submission finish or the slow cradle DDT. I think an important facet which will determine if she can move up will be whether she can call her matches and control them well, since WWE is likely going to expand into adding a bunch of much less experienced Divas than her in the future.

On the mic, it might just not be connecting well, or it could just be that it's the weakest facet of her character, but it just comes off as lost.

But if they ever decide to book a diva as strong, rather than just wins-if-champion (else flip a coin), Paige would probably produce a decent series of matches as either a face or a heel.

He has to be in the running. I loved his "classy" hairdo on Slam too - that curl was fantastic.

I assume she's at least decent based on her pedigree, but there's only so much you can do when your opponent is any FCW diva.

Good NXT this week! I'm a bit miffed that the Raw recaps are finding their way back into the show, but I guess it is Wrestlemania season. A couple decent matches, nice development in Regal/AmbroseKassius, and good momentum for a six-man match in the next couple of weeks. Bayley seems decent enough - I'm not sure where she came from, but the more ladies who don't look lost in the ring, the better.

They do this for every taping but it's hit and miss whether you're actually going to see anything of consequence. The dark match for these tapings was Briley Pierce vs Rami Sebei incidentally.

While I still think he has a ways to go in-ring, Leo Kruger has a couple of really nice moves. I really liked his elbow buster, or whatever you'd call that move where he drove Gabriel's elbow into his knee on this week's episode. Also, he's knocked off all the drat hair playing which makes me very happy.
