Yeah, I'm expecting 'it was her idea' on the level of 'we presented her with Doink, Bastion Booger, and Gobbeldygooker outfits as alternatives so she went with this'.

The Broken Skull Sessions episode with Mick Foley is so, so good. Absolutely recommend tracking it down. Mick tells some great stories, really gets into his wrestling psychology, and he and Stone Cold react to old matches and segments they were in. It's great.

I think the only thing I can say in it's defense is that if it showed up in another promotion people would probably think it might be similar to something like Hyper Misao. Maybe Nikki thinks that or thinks her idea will be presented well and like what she has in mind. But it's WWE

Raskolnikov38 posted:has there been any hard way blood/blade jobs since the thunderdome started? starting to think the shift to wwe being for literal babies theory has wheels I don't recall. The best women's matches I can recall seeing as of late were the deathmatch between Britt/Rosa, and literally all the Serena Deeb matches. Deeb is probably up there with Bayley and Bianca as one of the best right now. I legit do not like Charlotte or Rhea and think they're very sloppy. Really wanted Xia Li to get big but now her look is loving ridiculous and they've turned her into an Asian ninja assassin or something. She looked way cooler when she first debuted but that's just my opinion.

Edit: people seem to have confused her saying it’s her idea IN KAYFABE… with her writing the angle. You could make it work in another fed, have her sau “it turns out the costume department, music and graphics people will do whatever I want, so I want to be a superhero.”

Maybe Nikki thinks that or thinks her idea will be presented well and like what she has in mind. But it's WWE See the thing is these ginmicks have to work in an environment where they are appreciable by their contrasts and comparisons. By which i mean lets take Lucha superheroes, its part of lucha culture that they are superheroes and thus its accepted to have more of them. Comparatively we have Hurricane Helms who was presented as a sincere wannabe superhero in an age of WWE realism. With this Nikki Cross is a sort of superhero and probably meant to be a joke, but shes at a time when WWE is at New Generation levels of ridiculous and shes a superhero joke at a time when we're supposed to take seriously a school girl possessed by a demon with superpowers herself. The framing just doesnt work. Wouldn't happen here but the clear counterargument would be well what about AEW with Abaddon - they're a sport company but we're also meant to believe shes a literal zombie. The framing is different in that despite being scary and creepy as hell shes not referred to in hushed tones of "transformation". She might be a zombie she might not be so its never discussed and just treated as just scary as gently caress. When AEW went hard into supernatural poo poo as real we got the Nightmare "wife haunted" Collective. Lets not remember that.

I mean, outside of the gear looking like it should be worn by someone on a show that kids would watch Saturday morning, it looks fine. The mask is kinda bleh, but there's been worse. Hopefully it might be able to grow into something more than what it is now, because it's really just set to die as it is now.

Agreeing with those who are suspicious that this is the one time, the ONE time, that someone gets their idea realized without any kind of input from the company famous for nixing ideas. And even if it's true, WWE should protect their people. Allowing Nikki to become Super Eric is not protecting her. She might even find some success, but it will be an Otis push. There should be more than either getting an Otis push or sitting in catering.

They're convinced the product they're putting out now is great and the fans are there for it, seeing a 2/3 tarped convention center in Kalamazoo poo poo all over a RAW will be good for the soul.
