Real talk, Eva's about as good as Charlotte was when she debuted on TV. The Flair name and doing some gymnast shit went a long way for her, it seems.

Did she even take a bump?
I picked up Battlefront last night. Fighter Squadron mode is basically the 2015 Rogue Squadron I always wanted. The lack of a single player really hurts the game, with as fun as the gameplay is and with how pretty it is (holy shit) they could have done wonders with a single player mode.
Naah... You can still tell even back then that Charlotte was a natural. There is nothing natural about Eva.
Looks great and pretty easy to pick and up and play.
Rent it. Play all weekend until you are sick of it.
Charlotte reminds me of Axel and Dibiase Jr. in that they're basically attaching to her dad. They did the same shit with those guys. Difference is none of these sons/daughter have an ounce of charisma their fathers have. Let them be someone different, or is it that much of a challenge to do as creative?

BUSHI's return has been delayed yet again, however it may be storyline - he was set to compete in tomorrow's World Tag League opener at Korakuen Hall, but NJPW say they've been unable to contact him. Incidentally, Naito still insists his 'pareja' hasn't shown up yet and that he wasn't referring to EVIL. Both Naito & EVIL were notable in their refusal to attend the WTL press conference earlier today.
Yoshinari Ogawa beat Zack Sabre Jr. at Korakuen for NOAH today, then afterwards he apparently told the crowd that it was Zack's last match in NOAH. Make of that what you will.
Eva has a long way to go, but there's not a lot about Charlotte's work that seems natural to me, she too often appears to be thinking about what's next rather than acting within the moment - I think she felt more comfortable in the outset than Eva has ever appeared, but neither are great and I feel Charlotte gets a pass for obvious reasons.

I think people, a lot of people, still assume Charlotte will tap into the Flair genes and be a natural when it might just be her hard work putting her at the level it is. I don't know.
Eva knows how to be an incredible heel right now. Whether or not she can do it in a completely different kind of situation remains to be seen. But still, it's something.

They're hilarious on the mic. Who cares if they job or not? As long as they get some promo time each week, theyre too witty and charasmatic not to get over. As long as Enzo can talk, they'll get over in spite of any shit booking
there's your problem

Tanahashi & Elgin are going to use a finisher for the WTL with the uninspired name of; High Fly Flow from Elgin. Guessing he'll vertical suplex Tanahashi into the splash, or gorilla press him.
Anyone here going to be watching? Tomorrow's show is absolutely FREE, motherfuckers - no excuse...well, other than timezones. 9:30 AM for the UK, 4:30 AM for the East Coast and 1:30 AM for the West Coast. But, still, FREE!
I'd agree with that, it's not like Charlotte isn't working hard, because she is, but she isn't all there yet either and doesn't have an ounce of her father's charisma.

If they thought that they would have given him more than 3 pieces of merch whilst he's down in NXT surely? Balor seems to be the only person they're actively giving merch to right now.

I doubt Charlotte is even in an environment where she can be "like flair"

I'll try to catch some of it, but I really need to get through BOLA already.

Charlotte has always seemed to be the worst in the Charlotte/Sasha/Bayley/Becky line up to me, but I always figured some of that was me naturally rooting for the new talents over the Ric Flair's daughter thing.

Tonight's NJPW on AXS:
IWGP Heavyweight Championship Match: Hiroshi Tanahashi (c) vs. A.J. Styles (from The New Beginning in Osaka)
The CZW/WSU joint show and CZW's Night of Infamy are also tonight.

Definitely will be getting of bed in time for it tomorrow morning, quite excited to see #BIGMIKE in action again.
...which would then make her not get booed.
The point of heels is to get people to boo them and want to see them not succeed.
Rollins' main weakness as a heel (and Owens to a certain extent) is that they can't tone down their move-set to actually get heel heat. If modern audiences feel like "ability = face", then you get them mad at you by not showing off an indy style move set.
Not going to lie, if she was not Ric's daughter she would be in Emma country.
That is why it was honestly smart of them to pull the double dizzle and hit it head on turning it into a work
Athleticism alone does not cut it though.
You have great personalities with average work, and you have great work with average personalities. That is what the midcard is full of.
Which would of course tie in the Ascension thus leading to six man obsurity for hell knows how long.

If they let Cody do his thing it could be entertaining but hey, nobody gets to do much anymore

I love how you guys bash Charlotte for one reason, and one reason only.
Alright WrassleGAF how many of you honestly think Roman is turning heel this Sunday?
The machine is behind him as a face -
Oodles of merch which will take a battering in sales,
Prominent face (heh) of many promotional activities the company does,
Lost a lot of that heat from the general crowd since Rumble/Mania,
HE'S FACE AND THAT'S IT DAMMNIT,
All too obvious heel Sheamus feud if he stays face
Ambrose not thought of as WHC material
More onus on him to carry a feud outside of the ring, which he has questionable credentials in being able to do

More avatar bets!
I'll admit that it's harder to find a worse avatar than the Minions avatar I gave Boots during the Lethal Lottery this year. That was a Tanahashi-esque 1/100 avatar.

By that logic you should just bring in some untrained people off the street and have them be terrible, for your heels.
