Vince: So, smarks, you were feeling bad for the Womens Division. Here you go, a full Battle Royale, enjoy. *snickers*

- Kelly, Beth advertised prior to match - not present during the match.
- Match itself - atrocious, check that, no words can describe how bad
- Only positive, Kaitlyn winning with lol botched clothesline. (okay, not really a positive, after thinking about it.)

Luckily, I don't care about the women's division, If I did I'd be beyond the point of hope.

Oh and Cole had the line of the night - "Riveting action here", I lost my shit there, Cole was full on troll mode.

I'm not usually this critical on botches and shit, But if a men's match was this bad, I'd be criticizing them too.

Re: Divas Battle Royale - mind numbingly bad

It was like the booker said "Put all the Diva's in a match, that one wins through a clothesline, I'll be in the back snorting coke." 2 minutes before the match was supposed to start.

Shame as most of those competitors can wrestle damn well, heck, the way Nalalya and Alicia got eliminated was a really good and creative spot, unfortunately it was 5 seconds of several minutes.

At one point I blamed the Divas, now I blame the trainers. There's no way so many women can attend meaningful training and still end up this bad. They need to watch old clips of Victoria on Day 1 to learn the importance of timing, then maybe they'll have a prayer on Day 2 and beyond.

Re: Divas Battle Royale - mind numbingly bad

Yet you cared enough to make a thread about it. Anyway it was awful, you're just stating the obvious here. It wasn't a positive that the never on TV, still green in the ring Kaitlyn won, Eve should of won, she's like the only diva who's relevant outside of AJ and she actually has a character and is ok in the ring and on the mic (by divas standards).

I think Eve was supposed to win, after the match everyone was shellshocked as if Kaitlyn was not supposed to win.

I only made the thread because it went beyond the usual levels of bad. There are some really talented Divas, they just need to make better use of whatever time they're given.

Wow. Victoria was so awesome.

It was so embarrassing that I couldn't help but laugh. I feel sorry for the gals who are genuinely really trying to get somewhere on the competitive side of this company.

Re: Divas Battle Royale - mind numbingly bad

Every divas battle royale is terrible. This one simply went on a little longer than the norm. They really need to stop doing these and come up with another random way of obtaining #1 contenders.

Re: Divas Battle Royale - mind numbingly bad

It was a very, very slow match but at the same time, it had more depth to it than the regular ones they do.

Are battle royales usually good?

Re: Divas Battle Royale - mind numbingly bad

The spot where Alicia Fox was superkicked by Tamina from the turnbuckle to the floor was awesome, I must admit.

Are battle royales usually good?

Not really, but not this bad.

Re: Divas Battle Royale - mind numbingly bad

I found it was so bad it went full circle and kept me entertained. That, and Cole shitting on it.

 

[chargebeam]

They just need more depth in their character, that's all. If they all suck in wrestling, why not build them a strong and fitting character? Just like Heyman says "hide the negatives, accentuate the positives".

How do you want your audience to give a damn about 8 random girls "fighting" if they have nobody to root for? People are rating the girls based on their looks, not on their characters or their talents, which is a shame.

Except for Eve last night, I'm pretty sure nobody was a favorite to win this thing. Even the damn champion has no character (since her return). I mean, come on. Who are the monkeys who write this 3 hour show?

Fair enough. I think Kaitlyn was supposed to win though, the shellshocked reaction can be attributed to the fact that Kaitlyn of all people won. No one expected that.

Re: Divas Battle Royale - mind numbingly bad

The girls don't deserve the creative effort for improvement when they are and should be the lowest priority on the card. They should send that entire division down the river if they used all the residual creative effort to improve the rest of the card.

Re: Divas Battle Royale - mind numbingly bad

I've seen a lot more horrible Diva battle royals in the last few years. Alicia fox actually looked pretty decent after haven't seen her on TV in ages, Nat and Tamina were rocking it at some point, Eve and Kaitlyn were decent with Kaitlyn really selling the surprise underdog win, and Eve looking really pissed at not winning it, actually found myself wondering if she is going to find a way to get back at her for eliminating her. Only Aksana and Rosa should really stay the f out of the ring and just stick to what they're good at, namely being a Valet. Bring up Paige and find one more good worker somewhere and you've got a decent roster, long as the matches you book start to be a tad less random..

Edit: This was a diva's battle royal just over a year ago. It starts with the infamous Gail Kim rollout on the left of the ring, and just kinda sucks on from there. Can you honestly say that this Battle Royal now and the one then are really THAT different, or if this one sucks that much more?

I think they were shocked at how horrible that match was and that Kaitlyn failed the first clothesline she did with Eve, wanted Eve to win though
Still better than Cena/Cole which is my go to match in my memory if I ever see any bad match now.

I only saw it once, but it looked to me that Eve botched the spot. I could be wrong though.

 

[JY57]

they should have AJ Lee get back to wrestling (even if she is still RAW GM). Say what you want about her character, she got some skills inside the ring. And being trained by Punk and Cena.

I could be wrong on calling Kaitlyn on that too. But I'm guessing since they rarely do get time for matches is that they were shocked because of that finish. Eve or Kaitlyn on my tv, no loss there whoever is on.
