Is it any good? Anything similar to the game? Or it just uses the name?

When I saw it, even as a kid, I could tell it was an awful movie but it was probably worth watching for the one scene filmed entirely from first person. It was uniquely epic and I've never seen it replicated in any movie since.

You are not allowed to like Eva around these parts. Apparently that makes you a gimmick poster, or so I was informed a month ago. So I have stopped posting my positive opinions on her. But fuck that. Eva is improving greatly. Definitely putting in the work. She is also one of the better personalities on Total Divas.

Eva is money. Legit. That is why she gets a Funko Pop before many others, because it will sell, because she is more over than most other women on the NXT and main roster.

But alas, those truths aren't appreciated as much since they don't jive with the "wrestling is pure and sacred" smark opinion.

So persecuted over your Eva Maria beliefs. ;_;

I am not going to lie, I am starting to see potential in Eva Marie.
Never really thought that I would say it, but so be it.

EDIT: Mark Madden called New Day a Minstrel Show.

I had to look that up.

I just watched the latest NXT where she tags with Nia against Bayley and Carmella. She's still pretty bad in the ring, but she's at least gotten to the level that she can do jobber type matches now.

You know how horror movies have a fake-out or two before the main monster(s) show up? There's been like a dozen of them at only half an hour in despite there now actually being monsters.

There has been one pair of unnecessary boobs, so horror movie status confirmed.

Haven't watched it yet, but can't wait! I look forward to signs of improvement.

I completely get that. The problem is crowd culture today vs back in '93 are completely different. I assert, that crowd reaction today is predominately made with the intent on giving creative immediate feedback on the product and imposing a degree of self importance. So, when a KO gets cheered, you have the crowd telling back office, here's a character we like. That he is heel or face is incidental.

I agree with this.

Time passes, things change. Nowadays people cheer for what is entertaining, it doesn't matter if it's a face or a heel. Based on what I've seen, my personal opinion is that being rejected by the fans because they don't like what you have to offer as a performer is a failure, not being booed or cheered.

I don't even think Eva Marie is attractive, but my wife thinks she's super pretty (when she isn't caked in makeup, which is most of the time if you ask me). My wife always has smartass comments to make about Alexa Bliss and Becky Lynch though because she knows my taste.

:\

I think that is a legitimately horrible take given that the New Day have repeatedly confirmed that the New Day gimmick was made up and pushed on management by themselves.

I think Eva is irrefutably a bad wrestler, but if some of you some of you interpret her quality of ring work as potential then I guess whatever floats your boat.

It's hard to argue that she doesn't have potential, it's just hard to also argue in my view at least that she's even coming close to meeting it yet.

I mean hey, Ryback was in developmental for 100 years, it's not THAT shameful.

Ryback is many times the wrestler than Eva Marie, and Ryback is a train wreck in the ring a decent chunk of the time.

There's some strange images out there when it comes to looking for Eva Marie stuff

I don't think she has any talent at all in any of the things you need in wrestling. Her appearance isn't talent.

Ryback is one of those guys I want to like, but he's just a mediocre wrestler and his on-screen persona leaves a lot to be desired.

The character Ryback needs to be playing is basically himself when he was getting mercilessly bullied by Daniel Bryan in Table for 3.

I don't think you can call hilariously loud YOU CAN'T WRESTLE chants directed at the person playing the character of Eva Marie and not Eva Marie the character "good heel heat".

She has gotten more chances than numerous people who actually deserve it and hasn't shown an ounce of improvement in the ring.

Those saying she looks better now, are you sure? I still see her moving back and forth awkwardly as she awaits the next spot, you can literally (BIGGEST NIGHTINTHEHISTORYOFOURSPORT) see the goddamn hamster wheel spinning in her head before the hamster collapses from complete exhaustion as she tries to remember what it was she learned 10 minutes ago in the back.

On the upside her hair is really pretty when you're high.

And that's all the discussion of the red void of talent I can muster today.
 
Was thumbing through some /squaredcircle posts and came across one of the clip with Nash and CM Punk:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9H300jq7f9I

A thing that started going back and forth was the whether Punk has had as much of an impact or legacy in wrestling as some think. To boil it down further it was mainly people saying that Smarks make punk out to be a much bigger deal than he actually is. People defending Nash and slamming Punk were saying that Nash's comments in the segment about revolutionizing the sport were 100% true and that's while he'll be remembered more than Punk.

Yes.

I'm still operating under the assumption the Divas title match will be a Triple Threat, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it initially take form as a Sasha/Charlotte match that later comes to include Becky. Not that it matters for anything other than Becky getting a nice day in the sun in front of 100K beause Sasha is winning that match fullstop.

If some can't see this, I don't know what to say.

It may not be talent, but she has The Look™.
I believe that was the same argument for Roman as well when his singles push started. And he has a hell of a lot more talent than Eva.

Eva is not going to become a good performer because of some theoretical look that makes you over.
 
Liquidsnake, i love your promos so I will ask you (for a third time now): what would you say to Eva Maria after reading everything we've been saying about her for these last two pages?

*hands mic over*

In all seriousness, I would tell her to do exactly what she has been doing, and in 2 years shes going to be champion of the world. I would tell her to not listen those who say she can't, but to those who believe she can, and will.

i would also let her know that I ma here for her if she need anything.
