Tegan built like every other WWE woman at this point, and my god it makes her come off bland as a motherfukker. At least with her old build we could ignore lack of personality because... well. Hips are distracting. But now... Jesus. She's the least interesting British female wrestler, from the least useful British country who idolizes the least respected Brother of Destruction, and her only character trait at this point is having knees held together by a combination of sink caulking and hope... and everything else is given to her by her rivalry with Dakota. Once that's over... then what?

She's a salient worker. But in a world of characters like Banks and Asuka and a show filled with personalities a la Belair, Ripley, Lee, Dream and Ciampa... how do you justify giving her screen time without the blood feud rivalry here? She's a mayonnaise sandwich made of white bread with a Welsh dragon stamped on it.

I want to say, with the benefit of hindsight, that I'm sorry. But... I'm not? There's a higher chance than not that Tegan ends up with more title reigns than Bianca and probably wins the NXT title before her, and definitely wins a Raw/Smackdown title before her assuming she doesn't throw a Shiniest Wizard and end up needing literal magic to knit her meniscus back together. And back when she wasn't literally 'Isla Dawn but her head is shaped like an egg', I coulda looked past it if nothing more than because at least it wasn't another thin-to-average white girl with just-good-enough workrate and a trash dye job slotting in over any number of non-white female talent with way more going for them. Welsh accents are annoying as shyt, but I mean... Nikki Storm got over with her Scottish accent and she doesn't even pronounce her own name the way it's spelled.

But now that she's slimmed down that hard... I get it. Maybe she wants less weight on her knees because they're made of K'Nex pieces and bubblegum. But... she had a unique-for-WWE body type. She was pear-shaped like a lot of women who don't see themselves in media, and she was pear-shaped in a company that goes out of its way to hide hips and ass but will let Charlotte go with her bolt-ons pressed up so high they're kissing her clavicle. It made her different. Now she's basically the default female CAW in a WWE2K game.
We Kota Kingdom outchea, cuh :lawd: The offense different, the character work different, she got a female Diesel, and... that theme :banderas::banderas::banderas:

He was stumbling in it too. No clue what to say to build more.

Next week show is going to be at the PC. I don’t know about that one. I wonder if they are allowing fans to sit in or are they going to do like halftime heat a few years ago and have wrestlers sit in the stands as “fans”. Depending on the presentation, it may come off super Indy and push away fans

Agreed on the finish to the cage matches being creative :ehh:

It would make sense for Tegan to have a match with Raquel now, since she cost her the cage and street fight matches.

NXT crowd don't fukk with Cameron Grimes :mjlol:. Dude needs to work on his crowd control though, should have told them to shut up when he's speaking or something.
