Let's not get crazy, now. The Paige thing is a step away from chopping off a finger and sending it to her.

Its like, the Paige things is creepy and terrifying but at least I get that its loneliness and obsession and pervy.

And the general fake Twitter accounts is weird as gently caress but I assume its again loneliness and wish fulfillment or something.

But what the gently caress possesses someone to want to pretend to be the make believe infant daughter of Roman Reigns and AJ Lee? What the gently caress kind of crazy is that?

Especially when the role player is presumably doing so as a way to act out attraction to Roman Reigns. The internet is simultaneously the greatest and worst invention of all time.

Huh Corey Graves last couple of tweets have been interesting, mainly because he got a lot of poo poo by people for tweeting this
While the women's division on the main roster isn't especially deep at the moment, I think there's enough talent available to fit in more time than a 3-minute segment (anchored by a 30 second "match") on a goddamn 3 hour show. It's especially galling given NXT is able to fit in a 5-10 minute segment for their women's division and they only have 1 hour per week.

Personally if WWE just did a 1 hour Divas brand show with Paige, Emma, the Bellas, Natalya, Naomi, Charlotte, Banks, Lynch, and Bayley I'd probably be satisfied and never complain about a RAW Diva segment again.

I still really wished WWE felt motivated to use the Network to test out alternative products like that just to see how it would go over.

Its kind of funny how people think Punk hated him for being a ripoff, but from what Graves has said they actually got a long pretty well in the Indies because they both liked the same music and getting tattoos

I'm pretty sure making an entire 1-hour Divas show that isn't poo poo is a hell of a lot more of a pipe dream than hoping for one not-poo poo Divas segment on Raw each week.

Yeah, no, I have no illusions that it would ever happen. I just think it would be pretty easy to gather all your Divas at the NXT arena and film a special, throw it up on the Network, and record the numbers and reviews to see what people think of it. It would be easy to experiment with a lot of little things like that with the Network. You could just run random specials on the same schedule as NXT specials.

I know it will never happen but I think its a missed opportunity.

Didn't TNA do a few Knockouts-only specials? How well did those go over?

Probably bad, but its TNA. I imagine a WWE produced, advertised, and broadcast Diva Special would yield different results than TNA or Shimmer or Shine or whatever. Just a wider audience and a better way to distribute.

I mean, it might still be a flop or a niche product or whatever but I'd be curious to see it, especially if all it cost WWE was one day of filming in Florida.

If his Twitter was really hacked he would announce that he's hired Vince Russo to manage the diva's divisions booking.

It was only hacked insofar as the subsequent tweets that say "Please keep watching. Please I'll give you one of my granddaughters if you subscribe for a year" and "Keep watching or I'll have to downgrade from steak wraps to Arbys" were deleted

CM Punk walked away on his own terms, Vince is gonna spend the rest of his life desperate to get him back into the fold (at which point he will lose all interest in him).

Edit: Also Vince probably has zero personal involvement in his twitter account.

Aren't him and vince like, frenemies or something? They used to tweet each other about dumb crap at 1am? And doesn't Vince tend to have respect for dudes who stand up to him even if they burn him in the process? I dunno, seems reasonable he's still be following.

Either that or he doesn't know how his twitter works.
