Anytime they start chanting for the announcers during a Divas match, and worst of all when the announcers gloat in it, it makes me sad that last year's Ebola outbreak wasn't more serious.

Now, I didn't pay too much attention to the match last night, cause I don't care about wrestling like that, but I know the match was long as hell. And if they dial the Divas' match time back down again because of the crowd, I will personally break the fingers of the next asshole who hashtags give Divas a chance.

These are predominantly grown men chanting and doing it in front of children. Some of the bile spewed from them is pretty disgusting. That whole city was apparently a mess.

It's really sad. I feel like the girls can't and won't ever win.

Paige needs to turn. She just doesn't make sense as a face. I'm also still bothered that they called three women up from NXT at the same time and for some utterly stupid reason didn't keep them paired as a trio in an us vs. them deal. I would have been more interested in that. The team setup was cute and all initially even if the arrangement of the groups was wonky. However, they just keep using it as a way to throw all of them on tv at once and being lazy. There's no storyline that makes sense going on. It's annoying.

What Burke said about the original plans for the NXT Divas, and Cena squashing them, makes a lot of sense now. It would have been much more interesting if the three of them had stormed the main roster together that night, and actually started a revolution, because throwing Sasha with Naomi and Tamina didn't make sense from the get go. And like I also said in my original post, there isn't enough room for all of these girls in the storyline, and unfortunately it already seems like Sasha is the first one who's going to be pushed aside... because she didn't have the good fortune of ending up on the same team as Flair's daughter, because they just had to keep the black girls together. And it would have been really interesting for Paige to have to team with the Bellas after all the shit she's talked about them ( Trish and Lita putting their differences aside to battle Torrie and Stacy) and maybe for the first time since being called up her character could have been something more than one dimensional, but instead we're stuck with what we've got.

Exactly. Nikki, Paige, and Naomi teaming against Sasha, Charlotte, and Becky would have been so much better. An actual Bella split would be nice too. Let them have their own identities already.

It's usually said that the best wrestling characters are when people get to just play an exaggerated version of themselves and 90% of the time I agree but with Paige I don't think it works.
I think she was better as a loner, goth-type chick who would just kick ass and didn't say much. Ever since they let her be more herself though and she’s happy all the time and buddying up with the other girls it’s just been awful.

I've come around on team B.A.D. I need them to stay together. Nikki can drop the belt to Naomi, Tamina can stay in her silent badass bodyguard type role, and Sasha can just continue being Sasha.

They're way better than PCB.
I still think it hurts Sasha's "Boss" character though to come in and be equals with Naomi, who I like but in kayfabe Sasha has already done more than her. Sasha should be the leader or not be in a faction at all.

How are Team PCB faces when they attacked Team Bella for no reason?

I honestly wasn't expecting Charlotte to win. It should've been Naomi to win the title, but now any Diva who was remotely relevant pre NXT revolution is gonna get left to bite the dust. Not even a day in and Charlotte's reign has put me to sleep, how did we deal with McCool and AJ's reigns again? I mean aside from pretending to like them and denial.

I fooled myself into believing that the whole point of Nikki's lengthy title reign was to establish some desperately needed credibility to the Divas title, which is why even though I suspected Charlotte would win at Night of Champions, I was perplexed as to why they were going in that direction. But I was naive to think so. Nikki's reign was about erasing AJ's from the history books and nothing more - because of Punk. Which first of all is extremely petty. Like, a bunch of old ass men sat around and decided to do that. Y'all know that, right?
It's just so lame to come off of this long reign, where there was so much speculation about whether or not Nikki could hold on to it, and the fact that it meant so much to her character, which therefor made the title seem important, but now we're right back into throwing it on another girl who has had literally no individual build up or character development, and I feel like it already means nothing again, because Charlotte winning it meant nothing. It wasn't even as if it was some big moment. I mean, at least when Paige jumped to the front of the line the night she debuted, it was huge because it was the night after WrestleMania and this big surprise. With Charlotte, it just happened. And we all know why. I almost wish she would have just beaten Nikki on Raw last week, because at least then it would have been a bigger deal, because the buzz on whether or not she could stop Nikki from breaking the record is about the only splash she's made on the main roster so far, because literally only Charlotte, Ric Flair, Triple H and Bayley, Becky, Sasha and Paige care that she won last night.
But, since her boss has a hard-on for her dad, I'm sure we're due to see this bitch break plenty of records, including Nikki's, so I guess they figured they better get started now...

And can they just fucking stop with the whole #NXTHomeGrownTalent bullshit I was seeing on social media last night? Whether it was NXT or FCW or OVW, every Diva on the main roster worked for their spot and despite what they may want to believe, Charlotte, Bayley, Sasha, Becky and Paige aren't somehow more hardworking than their peers, and I'm tired of them being treated as such.

A lot of diehard NXT fans are like hybrid car owners in South Park. It's not enough for them to just like it. They have to be smug and superior about it and tear down anyone who's not on their team. It's why I was reluctant to get into NXT at first.
