The Official Wrestling Thread is Trending Worldwide

From last night's Raw thread:

I think they're just taking the belt off of her, and putting her to the side a bit until Karma is ready to come back. That way Karma destroys who's ever current champ, and Beth returns as a face to feud with her. If they Give AJ a submission to make her a bit more credible and give her the title for a lil bit to go along with Bryan getting the title, it'd make for a nice transition angle until Karma comes to destroy AJ, or whoever has the belt when she gets back.

I found this just now:

The idea was to get the Divas Title off of Beth Phoenix so Kharma can get the belt without facing Phoenix first. The plan as of a few days ago was for Nikki to win the title, likely at Extreme Rules, and then get destroyed by Kharma the next night on RAW. Obviously plans were moved up and the title change happened on RAW last night. Kharma destroying Nikki Bella for the Divas Title would have brought her back into the storylines as a dominant force and would have ended the Kharma-Bella storyline that began last year.
Even though Nikki won the title last night, PWInsider reports that nothing new has been said about The Bella Twins leaving WWE at the end of this month. It’s still possible that they came to terms on a new deal but that’s not the word going around.

Makes sense, I really hope they set up a good Phoenix/Kharma feud.

What's that? Stay classy?

I think you have to keep Beth out for a while, working the fluke injury, and have Kharma run roughshod over the division for a while. Then, when Beth comes back as the one who isn't scared, you actually have a real live Women's Division program.

Oh yeah, that would be awesome. And you could keep them both as heels but have Beth be the lesser of two evils or even have Beth turn face, or at least be a sort of antihero.

No she hasn't ditched him yet. She introduced Claudio as her friend, that's it. No doubt, they're finally starting the set up for Teddy to have been played.

That's the part I don't get. Teddy wasn't played. He didn't do anything to help her career or anything. They were dumb segments that were probably inside jokes or something.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this on the RAW thread, but I thought Vickie was dressed like the madam of a Tijuana whore house, circa 1975. But I did like her channeling the spirit of Eddie by trying to call a "time-out."

I was just thinking about it...and you know how the losing streak angle has never in history gotten anyone over?

What if Cena can't break the curse?

That's how you lead into a heel turn.

Cena Horowitz's "you can't see me" gesture flows effortlessly into a pat on his own back.
