How is she an "anti-diva"?
She just has a different hair colour and no (fake or natural) tan. She still wears overly revealing clothing and is of model appearance.
Well I won't even try to argue that because that wouldn't be hard considering the product is boring atm apart from the only-half-kayfabe Zeb Colter imo, the idea of an 'anti-diva' is cool and all, and she's pretty fucking hot :yum:
Paige sucks. The amount of people worshipping her is making me laugh. First of all, she's not attractive at all. Like someone else said in another thread, she's a female Sheamus (but Sheamus actually looks intimidating, he looks like a wrestler unlike Paige). Her matches are boring as fuck. Thank god diva matches on RAW or SD usually last 3 minutes.
Paige is still young.. SHE'S 20, SHE'S JUST A KID!!!! She should stay in NXT for at least 3 or 4 years to improve her in-ring and mic skills
Who said she won't stay in developmental and sharpen her skills? As young as she is she's better than like at least 60 percent of the divas. And her character is just interesting which is rare in the divas division nowadays.
If you're not attracted to her that's fine...doesn't mean everybody else isn't.
jeez just watch one of her matches or promos before you comment on her. now on to your question, it's her title, her logo, her description, she doesn't really look like a cute girl on a unicorn, she's more like happy tree friends. she's called the anti diva the same reason CM Punk used BEST IN THE WORLD, it somewhat gives an aura around the name of the wrestler.
Because of her attitude. She's not a corny princess but an aggressive and sinister girl, and not a bimbo but a pseudo-goth so she's "alternative". It's like seeing Corey Graves in the middle of a roster filled with clean cut underwear models.
She's an anti-diva because she doesn't care about anything else but fucking people up. She obviously has a darker, loner, goth-ish look to her and I'm sure that plays into it aswell. She's not a "stupid model" that wants to be in the WWE to be in bikini contests. That's the gimmick.
I actually think it's somewhat funny how many people think she'll actually be something and "save the Divas divison" in WWE once she's on the main roster.
Yeah, uh, no.
WWE does not give a shit about the divas and they will not give a shit about Paige. I don't care how entertaining she is, how great a job she does, it's just not going to happen.
Have any of you seen Ivory's shoot interview? She said openly that it is routine in WWE that once a woman starts to get over and get big the powers that be in the back squash it. They only let a woman get to a certain place. If they start to surpass that place, they put the breaks on to bring you back down. Example, AJ.
It's as simple as the really. 1 whole calendar year after Paige is an active member of the roster, she will be nothing more than just another diva. I'd bet my house on that.

Also, Paige fans. Stop being a bunch of bitches. OP asked how is she an anti-diva, and never judged her talent. I like Paige too, but damn she's like IWC's female Ziggler.
OP, I think it's pretty simple really. Around the time Paige debuted, Kelly Kelly was still the visual representation of the Divas division. She was everything that smarks hated about the WWE's perceived hiring philosophy; a model with no personality outside of smiling, and a poor grasp of the sport. She looks like a Barbie, and her fucking name was Barbie.
Okay, but she's not really an "anti-diva", an "anti-diva" to me would be more like Kharma, honestly.
For Paige, the wrestling business is all she's ever known. It's not just a stepping stone to something else, it's her life. She's incredibly attractive, but she doesn't look like any Barbie I've ever seen. And she's got more personality than most of the men on the roster.
I'm not stupid enough to criticise the abilities of someone I haven't even seen before.

By the way guys, crowd reaction means nothing when you're at the same place week in and week out, they're usually the same fans and I'd bet most people who attend NXT are smarks lol.
She's passionate, she's talented, I like her. Completely agree that she's going nowhere fast, though, and it won't take anything close to a year for her to stall. Even the Divas champion vanishes from television for weeks at a time, despite 5 hours a week in which to feature something, anything and most of the women remaining are grateful to show up on RAW or SD once a month in a patented one minute 6-8 person tag match.
I think the whole anti diva thing is mostly center around her attitude and what she wants to accomplish in the WWE. So I think it has nothing to do with her looks. She's here to be our anti diva of the decade.
Because she's not the typical blonde bimbo, e.g. kelly kelly. She can actually wrestle, and her attitude and character scream anti diva. I hope she makes it to the main roster, is successful and it causes some kind of change in the divas division.
To be fair the NXT crowd likes pretty much anyone - they're the equivalent of an Impact Zone, crowd. Also she is no doubt good in the ring, but from what I've seen of her on NXT, and in that documentary, she hasn't got much of a personality at all.
This is like complaining that the "ugly" girl on a TV show is actually, in real life, quite pretty.
Yeah, it's a TV show. People don't want to look at actual ugly girls on TV. "Ugly" TV girls are typically just pretty girls with glasses, less make-up, and a plain hairstyle. Such is life.
Paige is the anti-Diva because she doesn't look like a Kelly Kelly barbie doll style Diva. That's it. Dark hair, no tan, goth look. Anti-Diva. Goth chick vs cheerleader.
It doesn't take a detective to figure this one out.
She has a gothic look. Every other diva has a, for the lack of a better word, barbie look. Hence the anti-diva.
