Guest Jimbo Posted January 7, 2004 Report 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.
LaParkaYourCar Posted January 7, 2004 Report Posted January 7, 2004 Well she's hot...anyone know how good of a wrestler she is??
RavishingRickRudo Posted January 7, 2004 Report Posted January 7, 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.
RavishingRickRudo Posted January 7, 2004 Report Posted January 7, 2004 Ok, let's be serious... Any wrestler with a "portfolio" isn't going to be good.
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Posted January 8, 2004 Report Posted January 8, 2004 She's got the sex appeal of Meatloaf on estrogen supplements.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted January 8, 2004 Report Posted January 8, 2004 Trish Stratus had a portfolio and she's a hell of a wrest......nevermind.
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Posted January 8, 2004 Report Posted January 8, 2004 the singer or the food? Well...Meatloaf (food) looks rather tasty. She looks like the consequence of eating Meatloaf. I'll go with the latter.
CanadianChick Posted January 8, 2004 Report Posted January 8, 2004 So, no one knows how good she is? I personally love how girls are signed based on looks, and then are trained after they're hired. Whatever.

LaParkaMarka Posted January 8, 2004 Report 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
Eclipse Posted January 8, 2004 Report Posted January 8, 2004 Under the "Stats" section of her page, itllists her "special skills". One of them is that she can drive a stick shift. No wonder Vince hired her. Preach on...brotha....preach on!

No wonder Vince hired her. Preach on...brotha....preach on! *HHH contemplates bringing back the Katie Vick storyline because 'NOW it all fits!'*
Lil' Bitch Posted January 8, 2004 Report Posted January 8, 2004 She's hot, lets just hope she'll turn out better than Torrie or Gail.
RavishingRickRudo Posted January 8, 2004 Report 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.
AndrewTS Posted January 8, 2004 Report 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.
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted January 8, 2004 Report 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?
Vyce Posted January 8, 2004 Report 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.
Guest Korgath Posted January 8, 2004 Report Posted January 8, 2004 So.... wait, they released Daffney and replace her with an unknown Latina? Wow. WWE Logic at its finest.
Myxamatosis Posted January 8, 2004 Report 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.
Slingshot Suplex Posted January 8, 2004 Report Posted January 8, 2004 So in a few months,Eddie gets a new mamacita and does a mixed tag feud with Rico and Jackie! I think they're on different shows but that could change easily.
Guest ravman77 Posted January 8, 2004 Report Posted January 8, 2004 I'm starting the book now on how long it is before she gets some new 'enhancements'...
2GOLD Posted January 8, 2004 Report 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.
humongous2002 Posted January 8, 2004 Report Posted January 8, 2004 Well WWE can't have Torrie and Sable pose for Playboy all the time.
Guest Goodear Posted January 8, 2004 Report 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.
RavishingRickRudo Posted January 8, 2004 Report Posted January 8, 2004 Yes, because that is all based on their wrestling... their horrible, horrible, wrestling.
Guest Goodear Posted January 8, 2004 Report 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.
