Veda is not a very good worker but I guess they could hire her to do interviews or be a manager or something.

Despite her flaws as a worker I could see some value in having a woman in NXT who could actually cut a promo.

As much of an established name as anyone else proposed for the tournament. Call her the Tyson Dux of the ladygraps invitational.

Kay Lee Ray could benefit from a repackage by the wwe team but in terms of pure ring work she's absolutely top tier. would not at all mind seeing her work with charlotte

I thought KLR came across as one of the true stars of ICW's Fear & Loathing this year.

Veda is a poor worker but improved a lot in the last year by eliminating a lot of moves she couldn't really do and focusing more on strikes. I like her personality or a talker.

If Lagana was still in TNA I think she would get more than a shot there. NXT wise no clue.

Jinny got the feedback she's too green. Which is true as she barely wrestles relative to her peers. They WILL have another look at her sooner than later.

Probably true. She's got a few big moves, but her transitions, selling etc aren't great. She has a great personality for the business and would get over day one if allowed to do her thing.

As far as Veda Scott goes, I love her as a character, or even an announcer, but I don't need to see her in the ring.

She does "show up" in ring wise when she works PROGRESS but she had a meltdown match at one of Rev Pro Cockpit shows in the Summer that revealed where she is really in the ring or without rehearsing at the Projo. But her look and personality are made for TV. Another Alexa Bliss tier performer.

Out of all "Bullet" Bob Armstrong's sons, Brian Armstrong was clearly the least talented worker of the bunch. And yet he was the most successful of them all as Road Dogg. Charisma goes a long way in this business, and is probably more valued than working ability in the WWE.

And I have to go as far as to say Cameron may be the worst wrestler I have ever seen in my lifetime and that goes for male and female.

He must be talking about Brandi Rhodes. Cameron hasn't wrestled for TNA as far as I know and Brandi didn't wrestle for WWE. I think its too early to declare brandi the worst since she's still super green. Maybe if she hasn't shown any improvement a year from now.

Also, David Flair is the worst wrestler ever

My favorite part is that Naomi starts in the correct position for the legdrop to actually be a pin. Cameron made the decision to roll her over.

I have altered my retirement plans. Pray I do not alter them any further.
Seeing Nicole Matthews on NXT gives me heart that they'd give her a look again. She and Veda had a try out a couple years ago, and both of them have basically plateaued as Indy performers. Neither are typical WWE talent, but both can talk and work a decent enough match. Evie and Nixon are surefire lockdowns for getting contracts.

Dave Prazak has been on suicide watch on Facebook lately, posting a lot of depressing stuff about where Shimmer is at financially and talent-wise, so it sounds like WWE might be raiding more than a few people from that roster.

As far as Joshi talent that should be in the tournament, Hikaru Shida would be a pretty good pickup. I don't know what Io Shirai's status with Asuka is but she would be a good "name" to bring in from Japan.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
I burned out years ago on SHIMMER when they would do 8 shows in a week and the DVDs wouldn't come out for 7 months, it was really hard to keep up with them and they started to lose their momentum as the women's super-indy when AIW was putting on their annual Girls Night Out that was better than most of the SHIMMER shows.

On the same side there seems to be a lot less women in the indies that are really at that level to make me go out and buy DVDs. I remember when Sara Del Ray and Kana were headlining both CHIKARA and SHIMMER the same week and it felt like the peak for women's wrestling in the US. Most of the bigger names have either retired or been signed now.

WWE has supposedly offered Io a contract and she wants to sign with them. Nakamura is also pushing for WWE to sign Kairi Hojo. She's not sure if she's going to sign, though. Stardom is trying to get her to stay by claiming they'll build the brand around her. I can understand why, because without Io and Kairi, Stardom will be in deep trouble. We'll see, I guess.

Interested if their relatively buzzworthy appearances on Lucha Underground will renew or heighten WWE's interest. Or even create interest in Mayu Iwatani the third one of the trio.
