I have no problem with Shayna as a worker. But I do think she only got this far because of Ronda. I doubt she would be in this spot otherwise. Its a valid concern and will likely hang over the tournament like a dark cloud if Shayna does end up winning.
Didn't she also help some of the Total Divas/Bellas crew train in a couple of MMA sessions?

I do. Her flow and movements look awful for a person with over a year of professional wrestling.I don't enjoy watching her work because her lovely movements make it clear it's a fake fight where she has to pull her punches, and her opponents need to not just run into her despite her incredibly slow movements.


I love how you think wrestling for a year means everyone has to be really good at wrestling from then on.

She helped them train, but I don't think she would have been brought in on that alone, otherwise they probably would have signed her long ago.

Her level of phyiscal awkwardness would be completely understandable if she'd wrestling for a much shorter time, but I personally can't understand why it's persisted in this fashion. I know there's many wrestlers who keep being awkward or bad at whatever length, or excellent in a short time, my point is she's not at the point where her excuse for being so green is that she's new and only finished training.

Like how Big Cass has been wrestling since 2010, he's just an awkward not good wrestler. Enzo similarly has 5 years and is no good, neither can use the excuse of being green. I feel like people are giving Shanya this pass, but she doesn't deserve it. But hey, other people seem to be enjoying her matches and good for them, but that doesn't mean I have to.

She's had good matches before on the indy scene, its just that something isn't carrying over into WWE. Odds are they probably told her to act like an MMA badass or something.

Tessa and Britt Baker had a REALLY good match tonight at Wrestlecircus. Tessa also wrestled Candice LeRae the other day in California at BAR Wrestling which was their main event and got good reviews.

Tessa is really killing it lately with great matches. Hope whatever attitude issues she has had in the past goes away with maturity and WWE eventually signs her. She's just too good.

Apparently they're doing a recap show for the MYC after Raw, including airing what I assume was a buffer match on the undercard of the second day of tapings, with 6 of the first round losers in a tag match.

Other than Asuka's reign in NXT women's championship reigns have been totally irrelevant in the WWE and mostly just a prop traded back and forth.

i got bad news about the general nature of wrestling championships...

nah actually its super dumb that the womens title is hotshotted like crazy, especially the bizarre string of "sasha wins then immediately loses literally the next night"

oh right, i got it backwards, sasha would win it like 2 weeks before a ppv at a raw and then inevitably drop it at the ppv, still very dumb.

That only happened this time. Usually Sasha won on Raw then later lost on PPV.

(Also it was 8 days later.)

It's not Asuka's fault she didn't have competition but at least they made it work. CM Punk had the WWE title for over a year and he played second fiddle to everything else going on until eventually losing it to set up for a match between Rock/Cena. I can't name many noteworthy things CM Punk did in his one year title reign.

To some extent that's the Takeover format combined with their love of rematches meaning thhere are so few programs. Having said that, I enjoyed Bayley rematch feud with Sasha (including the Ironwoman match), facing the corporate favourite Eva Marie in a shockingly entertaining defence, beating the Monster Nia Jax. All good times!

CM Punk had some poop in there, including an underwhelming defence against Bryan (How?????), but a reasonable amount of that can be put to the Ryback experiment, and their love of Cena and Brock. CM Punk sure has a lot of great points about how they didn't ever truly value him as 'the guy'.

I think it's okay if either woman wins the MYC, but I kinda hope they don't base it around kicking out of finishers. Protect that elbow/RNC, WWE.

Watching this recap tag match, it'll be a crime if Jazzy isn't signed. Book her as your Kane/Meng/Braun face monster mystery opponent of the womens' division and you're golden. Kairi and Toni are the only other women to have gotten this much of a reaction in this thing, and Jazzy does it stood still.

If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine.
There's no one in the tournament who could make me go "ew, they signed HER?!?!" Even the green ones had potential or a cool look or SOMETHING to build on. I know they can't bring in everyone (and I also have no idea who is and isn't signed already), but if it was me I'd be falling all over myself to sign Toni Storm, Kairi Sane, Mercedes Martinez, Bianca Belair, Piper Niven, Abbey Laith, and Dakota Kai. Shayna is great, and is intimidating in ways that even big fuckers like Jazzy can't match, but without the Ronda connection she's a 37 year old rookie with an admittedly solid athletic background, but apart from one big Horsewomen vs. Horsewomen match (and the resultant media attention), I don't see her having much upside.

Kairi is already signed, so is Dakota. Bianca has been around for a little while. Same with Abbey. Jazzy has supposedly signed, and I wouldn't mind seeing Mia Yim get signed.
