So many of the matches were one chick dominates+then makes a single mistake+immediately gets hit with the other chicks signature move and gets pinned.

And I am not clear on some of the decisions about who won and lost. Especially with Alpha Female/Jazzy and Xia Li.
I mean I like Kimber Lee but she is generic as fukk compared to Alpha Female and as much of a fan I have been of Mercedes Martinez there is no way she has a future in WWE with her age and look.

I also am eagerly anticipating how quickly WWE fans turn on that Donna Trump/God Bless America chick's gimmick

With Jazzy, I don't think they expected her to be as over with the crowd as she was. Plus, Kimber is signed. I'm sure after that match, though, they're giving Jazzy another look.

In the case of Xia/Mercedes, they were advertising it as Xia's first match vs a 15 year vet. It would have looked dumb as hell to have Xia go over. What they went with was fine: have Xia look strong to get people interested, but then have Mercedes win because that makes more sense.

Pretty much what I got out of it. Xia looked very good being so inexperienced, showcasing a different style and stuff, and it made total sense for Mercedes to win.

With these promos I think she could easily work this gimmick as a heel or face.

It could also easily go :mjpls: now that I think about it...

Oh yeah, Lacey could be money if they play her like female Kurt Angle: a smarmy, holier than thou goody good who looks down on others. I figured they'd make her a baby, but that was a heel ass promo right there.

"Judy throws" :mjlol:

:russ: At that struggle nirvana ripoff they gave to that Seattle girl. They could've at least called up DDP and have him give them tips on how to make a decent cover
