I choose to believe sleepy girl's trap was arranged by the same team that set up the bomb for Omega/Moxley. She asked for a massive weighted net and they dropped that instead :mad:

Props to the one lady (The one who isn't Mandy or Gigi) for immediately getting out of the net and then realizing she has to pretend it's still on her, full willingness to look as stupid as possible

I do think there is room in wrestling for sex appeal as part of the show (no matter the gender) but this is beyong embarassing lmao. Calling attention to it just makes it feel so desperate.

Sex appeal is totally fine and natural. When it's just sex appeal at the expense of everything else it's embarassing.

Especially 25 years on from the Attitude Era when I can just gis "huge boobs embarassing sex cry" and get the poo poo without having to watch 2 hours of the best wrestling on the planet.

Jade Cargill is an example of someone who's a big deal in part because of huge sex appeal but no one ever points it out and it just sits behind her confident attitude

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Tay Conti is sex appeal

Asuka wrestles with a thong over her outfit and spanks her rear end

Hikaru Shida spends her off time uploading cosplaying pole dancing videos

You're allowed to be erotic, but its when it plays a role rather than objectification which is just pornographic

Exactly!
Seeing someone and thinking "drat." vs being told that someone is hot by the official company voice is the difference between it being alluring and it being creepy. You just have to not say anything. We have eyes. Don't take it a "thing".

To be fair, Jade can back it up with her ring work. Some folks were even saying her match vs Shafir was good. Not sure if it was this forum though.

Compared to yesterday's... uh... knee into a clean 3 after selling a bit finger? Idk.

What makes it weird in NXT is they're so desperately pandering to the Hip, Young "Horny on Main" 20-30 year olds on paper but in practice the poo poo that happens on the show looks like it was written for 5 year olds, and at the end of the day the only people watching it are 60+ year olds...

It's funny because their ratings are actually down compared to this time last year. I think the last time NXT actually felt like...kinda cool was when Finn Balor and Io Shirai were champions, and then Triple H made the dumb decision to put the titles on Raquel Gonzalez and Karrion Kross. Two charisma vacuums. And then WWE put the NXT Women's Championship on Mandy who can't promo to save her life, and her wrestling is astoundingly terrible even by WWE training standards (she's been in WWE for 6+ years now and still wrestles like she been wrestling for less than a year). She got carried real hard in that match against Roxanne last night.

NXT 2.0 has been nothing short of a complete failure, all because WWE is leaning too heavily into the "character work" and not enough into the ring work. And yes, WWE is a character driven company, but even then the top champions on RAW and Smackdown can at least wrestle a match that isn't offensive when Creative/Vince doesn't meddle. The Gacy/Bron stuff is absolutely painful and I hope it ends after next week, because the story is absolute dogshit terrible. And Mandy has been bulldozing over the entire NXT Women's Division despite being one of the weakest links outside of talent like Lash Legend.

I’d respect NXT 2.0 a lot more if they dropped the Nickelodeon game show aesthetic and modeled the show entirely around being a live action Tex Avery cartoon. Doll up Full Sail to look like a suave 40s nightclub. Dress the thick woman up like Red Hot Riding Hood. Get, oh I don’t know, Joe Gacy to play Screwy Squirrel. This idea has legs.

imo NXT's death started with the callups/removal of Aleister and Andrade, two guys who were nuclear-hot and at their peak when they won the NXT Title. Instead of staying longer to cement their legacy, they were quickly hauled off to make way for the endless eternal Ciampa/Gargano bullshit, which then also involved the endless Undisputed Era storyline which lasted right up to the last gasp of NXT. Raquel and Kross was just one of the final knives in the lungs.

Shinsuke, Samoa Joe, Aleister, and Andrade were some of the most colorful and dynamic guys in NXT, and no offense to DIY and UE but they seemed like less exciting characters who also kept circling around with endless rematches and Part 3s to their sagas. NXT 2.0 doing characters like Joe Gacy and that italian guy I can't be hosed to remember the name of just seems like a manufactured effort to reclaim some of that personality without recalling those older guys were naturally charismatic and had plenty of time to hone those personas.

i think there's something wrong with Nikkita's outfit because yet again they had to bust out the black censor screens during her match which has become an absurdly common occurrence over the last few months in WWE and seemingly only in WWE
