Damn wonder how many weeks she gonna still be dancing on that chair, being more serious I still don't understand this limbo phase WWE does, trolling their audience with the "soon" shit on a character that already was established but for whatever the reason they decide to ridicule them on stupid gimmicks, hype the shit about them but when they arrive they job asap.

Like... what this accomplish?

He's pulling a Lanalina.

3 weeks from now, the lights will go off on SDL. The spotlight points to the top of the ramp, where a Lana in lingerie dances and grinds the metal chair we grew so accustomed to through the weekly promos. Her music hits, she grinds the chair into fine metallic powder. She then disappears backstage.

The real Lana then debuts 4 years later.

It's stupid.

Just let her be a hot manager/valet who wears short skirts.

It capitalizes on all her strengths.

She's never going to be an inring technician, nor should she be. She should know how to take a bump and deliver a hand full of moves for very limited actual wrestling moments, like near feud ending mixed tag matches or payoff matches where a babyface finally gets a match with her and basically squashes her for the majority of the time. Aside from that, just let her be a manager.

Play to her strengths and hide her weaknesses, you know, wrestling 101.

If the gimmick is just going to revolve around her dancing, it's going to flop because she isn't that good of a dancer. If they wanted to give a dancing gimmick like that to a diva, should have been Layla when she was around.

I much prefer Lana to just be with Rusev. If she's going to wrestle occasionally, fine but I see no reason to split them up and have her adopt a dancing gimmick. The gimmick she had was fine.

It's the same damm video every week and I'm tired of seeing it on their channel. We all know Lana isn't gonna come out and wrestle like one of them Japanese chicks so what's the point? Her strength is her hotness so why the delay?

Sigh*

Still holding out hope this is a joke like Emmalina was.

Another woman who can perfectly play a scheming manager with the ability to talk effective promos shoved into the ring for no apparent reason.

I assume it's cos she still needs more time to train? I wish they'd make a new video though, couldn't they have had her record a few different ones? :lol

Lana's exposé

This dancing gimmick or whatever it is has fail written all over it. But I guess when you have guys like Vince and Kevin Dunn calling the shots, nothings off the table.

Never stop being impatient fans... never.:grin2:

1- Is obvious they're waiting for Rusev's comeback to have Lana saying to him that she's a woman of high ambitions or something like that... maybe having Lana remembering she's american, thus wanting to be glamorous, aand inserting herself into the Smackdown female scene.
I really don't think she will be totally breaking with brute Rusev, because I suppose writers could guess that would be dislikable to her character.:wink2:

2- WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH A DANCING FEMALE WRESTLER?!?!?!? Do you remember WCW Disco Inferno? or Rick Rude? It didn't went bad for them...
But I guess it's only sociable accepted in USA when only a black wrestler like Naomi use dance moves as part of her character.:serious:

3- Please don't compare this situation with Emmalina...
Is obvious that creative is just waiting for Rusev to unleash Lana, as I already said.
While it has been revealed that Emma wasn't capable to perform the Emmalina character.

Just because a wrestler lacked the talent to perform a character, doesn't mean that character should be ditched...
