So Ambrose and friends were those people "in an armored vehicle" they were talking about on twitter last night or did they just forget about that?

PWIndsider says they were flown to the event separately from the rest of the roster to hide their debut, so probably, yeah.

I assume you meant un-salvageable. Aksana's no Sara Del Rey but she did an adequate job against Layla on NXT last week, when given more than 30 seconds in a tag match. Of the Divas roster the only absolutely worthless wrestler is Rosa Mendes, and she's used as a valet anyway. Half the latest hiring for developmental have been young indie wrestlers, too, not non-wrester models.

You felt Aksana was adequate? Maybe I need to go back and pay closer attention to last week's NXT. I've only seen the worst from her, it feels. And isn't unsalvageable the same as not being salvageable?

Bringing the Divas division into the fold, for one, giving it some proper exposure, as well as returning to the borderline heel crazy character that got her over in the first place.

She would be totally overshadowed in that stable and would have no real purpose there. Like I said, she should be competing for the Divas title in a stable with Hell No.

I know you guys love your "indie" guys but do you seriously expect anything from these guys? It's Wrestlemania season, new talent is not getting over right now outside of THE RYBACK. There is already talent ready for the push not getting it, and you expect these generic CAWs from NXT to get over? We all know Vince won't allow more of those guys to be near the top. They have a guy in Dolph who needs this kind of rub to get to that level. Look at the last guy who got over from the indie level in Daniel Bryan. He had one good title run and build (probably would have been a better payoff had Henry not got hurt) and now he just kind of floats in the tag title picture because they don't know what to do with their best worker and a guy that could get shit over in a gimmick. Rant over, I just could care less about new jobbers when guys like Cody, DBry, Kane, Wade are just kind of floundering without much thought of them competing in the main event scene.

That's dope.

I really hope that they are allowed to be individual wrestlers instead of just being Punk's lackeys.

Keep wishin' - despite CM Punk doing jack shit overall with a whole year as a title holder, I have low expectations and seriously, my negativity lately is off the charts.

I need to cheer up and stop hating Dean "No Weights" Ambrose.

I am taking it for what it is right now, a mark out moment that was completely unexpected and really fun to see.

Punk has done what we all wanted him to do with the title. Kept it off Cena's grubby hands!

I'm not worried at all, they are very high on these three and they specifically held off on debuting Ambrose until they had a good angle to do it with. They genuinly want them to succeed I believe.

Basically this.

Also of note is that Roman Reigns has been heralded as the second coming on NXT these past few weeks and is apparently a "Triple H pet project" alongside Ambrose. If they wanted to give Punk jobber lackeys they had plenty of other warm bodies to choose from.

Roman is indeed awesome, very excited for Sheamus 2.0 (no seriously, I am excited for him) - the only bad egg out of the group to me is Ambrosia.

Triple H wants him to be the next Triple H so watch out for that.

ICP may be the worst band of all time, but the Oddities theme is awesome.

You really need to get past your hang-ups. Ambrose will not be the next Batista, but he could very well be the next Pillman and I think the latter is a much more important element to the show then you are willing to give credit to.

I'm not understanding any of this. Using one of your best workers to build a division that hasn't been relevant in years seems like a pretty good use of them, especially given the amount of time he's got on episodes of RAW & Smackdown over the last few months. It's ludicrous to suggest he's just floating around in the tag picture. Prior to this held one major title and once that was dropped he had PPV matches against Punk for the other. They've been doing a hell of a lot with Danielson throughout the whole year so I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion that he's being wasted.

I just could care less about new jobbers when guys like Cody, DBry, Kane, Wade are just kind of floundering without much thought of them competing in the main event scene.

Also you "couldn't care less", though it's fair to say the WWE crowd could care less about guys like DBry with the reactions he gets.

Man the belittling of smackdown during the Team Ziggler/Team Foley just devalues the show. Why would I watch if the commentators treat it like shit.

Adequate as in "not horribly stinking up the joint". It's a step up for her. Give her some training from Del Rey, and she'd be up to average, possibly. She'll never be a great wrestler, but I don't think she's entirely worthless.

So not worth it
How good would WWE be without Vince and Stephanie? Really, all due respect to what McMahon did for THIS BUSINESS, but they've held so many guys and girls back for years it seems like such a waste.

Oh well, this is the year of redemption, many new people in the title picture, a tag division that has like eight teams in it and young guys getting pushed. Happy thoughts!

Go back to bed my friend.

Speaking of GWF Superstars, I'm scheduled to get my new computer at the start of December. So get ready. I'm scripting for one hell of a blowout return episode.

it crazy but Triple H is acutally making the company better. they are willing to experiment more. i think Vince needs to step back and let others take over.
