Guest Jimbo Report post Posted January 7, 2004 perhaps you all have heard of many of these people and I'm just clueless... ...but why is it that all the new talent the WWE hires no one has ever heard of? They seemingly hire all these random, talent-less fucks, send them to OVW, where they are kept for 24 years (under a man who is in many ways the complete opposite of Vince and the current WWE,) then they come to the WWE, still crappy, old, and no one cares about them, whatsoever.

LaParkaMarka 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2004 (edited) Under the "Stats" section of her page, it lists her "special skills". One of them is that she can drive a stick shift. No wonder Vince hired her. Edited January 8, 2004 by LaParkaMarka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2004 She's hot, lets just hope she'll turn out better than Torrie or Gail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2004 Really, turning out "better" than Torrie and Gail is not really that much of an achievement. Infact, turning out "as good" as the 'best' of the womens division is still pretty fucking bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2004 Well, they have Lilian and Rue as announcers already, and now they finally have a token Latina wrestler. I guess hiring a talentless latina bimbo is a step above hiring a talentless blonde bimbo somewhat. Maybe they'll put her on SD and fire Torrie. She's hot, lets just hope she'll turn out better than Torrie or Gail. They're both pretty damn terrible. The difference is that Gail fucks up all her moves, and Torrie doesn't really know any moves to fuck up except for a neckbreaker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HollywoodSpikeJenkins 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2004 If they wanted a Latina, why not sign Becky Bayless (I'm pretty sure she's spanish or something)? And where the hell is Alexis Laree? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vyce 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2004 HSJ has just inadvertently depressed me, as this chick probably has a far, far greater chance of debuting on WWE TV LONG before we ever see Alexis again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Korgath Report post Posted January 8, 2004 So.... wait, they released Daffney and replace her with an unknown Latina? Wow. WWE Logic at its finest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Myxamatosis 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2004 Maybe they see the possibility of appealing to the Latino demographic by signing an attractive Hispanic woman. No one knows what charisma she may, or may not, have. It takes someone with a great amount of charisma to cross over. Maybe Vince has seen something in her that she saw in Trish, since both were fitness models. And by the way, Trish is probably the third best women wrestler in the WWE, despite knowing nothing when she stepped in about three years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2004 I'm starting the book now on how long it is before she gets some new 'enhancements'... You kidding? She probably became a high C to a low D-cup the minute Vince hired her. Or she has a really nice ass and won't need them. God damn you Vince for making me feel shallow.

Guest Goodear Report post Posted January 8, 2004 Investing in the future Of course, the future is not in womens wrestling, but let them have their fun; it's only the fans who will suffer. Yeah, cause fans ignore the shit out of Trish ... and Lita... and Victoria... and Molly. Fans =/= You. Anyway, the money in wrestling is about becoming a diverse product as much as possible. Bringing in a Latin women (regardless of actual skill) is not a horrible move simply because she draws on a demographic that WWE doesn't yet have its finger in.

Guest Goodear Report post Posted January 8, 2004 Yes, because that is all based on their wrestling... their horrible, horrible, wrestling. Like the WWE has been all about wrestling ... ever? Don't get me wrong, fans like good wrestling (Benoit). They also like characters (Hulk Hogan, The Rock) and eye candy (Sable, Stacy) and all sorts of other stuff too. Pulling all of these things together is what a good wrestling organization should do. Providing one thing even if you're the best in the world at it, doesn't usually translate into a long shelf life.
