HI BRIE
I know you read these forums, you have to. :mark:

Yea I was actually legitimately surprised that she used a few different submission manoeuvres in the ring like a few days after I suggested she did so to seem a bit more believably strong in the ring. I dunno if she really reads the forums, I doubt it of course, but it was a real coincidence :lol.
Brie is fairly underrated. Can't say too much about Nikki because she hasn't wrestled in a long time because of her injury and on the most recent Raw she played the defensive of the team to get Brie to look like more of a threat to AJ.
I think Brie can work really well as a submissionist (like I've said before) and she should stick more proper submissions - not restholds - on her opponents and try to pick a limb and work on it for the match a la Del Rio.
Maybe the arm, and use the Yes! Lock or something to be honest. It would probably help get the fans behind her and it makes sense seeing as the WWE are using their relationship anyway.
There are some things she does in the ring that are really weird/unfitting imo. Her signature knee strike on the ropes is a bit iffy because it doesn't seem strong, and the positioning of the opponent is always awkward.
