I wouldn't say remove the Raw exposure. Use it to highlight what is happening on the other show much like they do with showing clips of the Smackdown matches to progress the story line.

I couldn't agree more. Really all we would need is a minimum of 4 matches focused on women a week, padded out with NXT style documentaries packages and backstage promos. I don't think it would be too costly and would do wonders for the reputation of the Divas and would show they are being serious about the Give Divas…

Fantastic post! I think it's time for a weekly Divas specific show. One Hour a week on the Network. Put some extra story lines in, maybe build a tag division to keep the 'mid card' divas busy. If they're serious about giving divas a chance this would be the best way to truly showcase the women.

Really great episode. They've totally sold Balor as a human being and as a wrestler so I'm 100% invested now.
I'm intrigued with whatever the plan is with Eva Marie. Maybe she'll be paired up with Sasha for the feud with Emma and Dana?

Good One.

How do we get the documentary style promos on the main shows? Over the past few weeks the promos for Becky Lynch, Hideo Itami and Finn Balor have done the work of a years worth of face promos. I feel like every member of the roster would be instantly more relatable and easier to root for given one of those.

Finn Balor playing with Legos in an Adventure Time t shirt. was more than I could handle. If I had ovaries I'm sure they would have exploded.

1) Not enough Bailey.
2) I like Jason Jordan. He's nice to look at.

I remember my friend hosted a Studio Ghibli sleep over when her sister returned from Thailand with what was probably a pirate box set of all the Ghibli films on dvd. The plan was to watch everything but we didn't know what order to start in and we made the grave error of watching Grave of the Fireflies first. . .…

Yeah that was my reading of the situation as well. I think Brandon also missed the fact that Sunil had killed himself in the previous episode where Henry is preparing for his date as he's listening to Kylie Minogue ignoring all of his calls.

But I'm in the UK! The only other show on TV with this much blatant sex talk is the Great British Bake Off!

Good point. I just remember when Big E was the NXT champ but on the main show he was just Ziggler's bodyguard. So I find the continuity between both shows strange.

Sure, but that happened on NXT time. Does that really have any effect on her characterization on the real show? Does she even have a character on the real show?

I guess Emma is a face, if you ignore the alternate continuity of NXT?

As much as I enjoyed seeing Freddie Fox in his pants I find this show really hard to watch, Henry is such a relentlessly vile character that he makes me want to throw things at the screen.

I saw Naomi at a house show last week, (First ever WWE show and it was amazing) the night after she took out Paige and seeing as it was a UK audience she has a LOT of heat. She cut an awesome promo and I actually felt like she could be one of the top people in the company. Her move set was also very aggressive and she…

Yeah I can't get my head around his voice either, it's so strange. It's somehow both captivating and distracting at the same time.

Yeah I noticed that connection as well. Also the print on her bags of heroin looks a little like the Iron Fist dragon symbol. I wouldn't be surprised to see her eventually pop up in K'un Lun in Iron Fist.

Being from the UK I've watched this all the way through on the original airing. I can't say I'm a huge fan of either of the shows but I'm happy they exist. I'm also happy to see some episodic reviews, especially written by Brandon. Watching this show in the UK was pretty much like watching the show in a bubble so I'll…

I'm absolutely loving this A.V. Club coverage of WWE. I'm loving LaToya's perspective on the show.
