Being on TV and the house show circuit means that you can't really progress as fast as someone drilling with the same people every day and every night. Unless you are a wrestling savant or have had a lot of time on the indies, where you start on the road is usually where you end up.

Usually the fastest way to progress is doing matches with skilled wrestlers in front of a live audience on a nightly basis.

No. Rote memorization is the worst way to do almost anything. Doing a thousand armdrags every day for months will yield you the perfect arm drag with no sense of where to use it when or why.

Seriously, why is Eva Marie getting heat because she is trying to get better at wrestling?

Surely that's a good thing?

because WWE is paying for her to get private lessons in LA rather than sending her to NXT, which they think she should be lucky to be getting the opportunity to go to in the first place.

But NXT is for *good* wrestlers. Eva Maries stinkiness would be seen especially in comparison to Bayley, Charlotte et al.

I still don't get the pettiness of "She's trying to better herself in her profession. Boo!" that is coming across from the other divas tweets.

she's had years to give a poo poo if it was about wresling, E! want her around and wwe decided to send her to get special training so they can get a total diva's story after that with hopefully finally get some return on having to keep her in a wrestling role. it's not that hard to see why actual wrestlers in the company would hate that she's taking a spot on the roster

uh you'll find there's a veritable mountain of heavily-edited training footage where it sort of looks like she has a match with Kendrick. And some Instagram videos.

Honestly though, it looks like she can run the ropes at the very least which is an improvement over what she was doing before, and puts her above people like Rosa Mendes and Kelly Kelly.

People keep saying this and it's super annoying. Most of the other women were hired specifically for the purpose of wrestling and the majority of them had already been wrestling before WWE. They're not stupid for not getting some crazy bonus money to train; they either already had training or are working within the confines of their contract.

Eva wound up with some crazy deal for herself, so good for her. No reason to continually call everyone else dumb for not trying to do the same thing.

I am guessing that she is standing that way so she does not tower over her diminutive friend AJ.

Be careful; expressing that you find a woman attractive by referencing the parts of the woman that you normally find attractive gets you called creepy these days.

Speaking of Paige: I wonder what she looks like without all that heavy eyeliner. I bet she'd look like a completely different person.

She's bending every major joint in her lower body and tilted her shoulders and she's just about eye-level with AJ and the camera is panned downwards. If she stood up straight they probably wouldn't be able to fit into the same frame together.

I don't think she's ever seen without some degree of eyeliner, but occasionally she has less and doesn't look that different. For a scarier difference, image search 'Britani Knight'.

Lot of wrestlers who leave WWE for the indies change their display name but keep their account name becuase if they change that they lose verification. Matt Sydal and PJ Black/Justin Gabriel are two examples that immediately come to mind

Yeah I know her from her Britani Knight days and she wore lots of eyeliner then too (though admittedly not as much). Not that I mind the heavy eyeliner, but I imagine when she wears no eyeliner it's a big change.

While looking up Sydal's account (@findevan)to double check this,l I noticed he has Genki Sudo holding his "We Are All One" as his banner picture which is kinda cool
