Yeah, she's alright in the looks department and I'm pretty sure that helped her get signed.
But to me, from watching the documentary, she doesn't really have the "right reasons" so to speak, for being a wrestler. It's just that the only reason for her first match was to fill in for someone who was injured and before she had her first match, she didn't give a toss about wrestling. Even her mum said that in the documentary. Then her and her brother go for tryouts for the WWE and she gets signed and her brother, who has actually been wrestling since he was 12 and always wanted to be a wrestler for the WWE, gets turned down. Then Paige talks to whoever was behind the camera, about how when she "makes it big" she's going to get a villa, horses, fancy cars and have loads of money and be famous. Before that though, she mentioned how she would like the attention of all the fans if she made it to America. It just seems to me that she's in the business for the wrong reasons, but that's just me. |

well yeah but there's a bunch of guys that get into the business for the "wrong reasons" and look how many of those turned out well (see: Bret Hart, Kurt Angle, Barry Windham, most of the guys WWE have ever recruited out of college and a shitload more, none of these guys grew up wanting to be wrestlers, Bret and Windham's stories are very similar, wrestling families etc) and she too started out when she was really young (13-14 maybe?) and she's "really good" as far as the birds go (plus the aforementioned looks)
as for Zac 1. he still pretty much looks like shit 2. he's still really young the bastard 3. he's on the radar (tryouts, got squashed by Big Show on Smackdown) 4. from what I've heard he's got his head screwed on and can probably look after himself (Roy/Zebra Kid is a "double hard bastard" according to more than one person) combine these things with his families "rep" and I don't think he's ever going to go short of chances in the wrestling world. Haven't actually watched the doc yet tho so I'll come back and eat some of my words if any of it makes any of what I just wrote bollocks |

Probably a lot easier for Paige to be signed than her brother regardless of their passion or training just because of how few Divas or women wrestlers the WWE has at any time (main roster or in development). Less strict on the requirements for skills considering they used to hold annual Diva searches just to fill the female division roster.
I'd assume its also a lot easier for the WWE to develop a female wrestler to their style than a male since he needs to be decent with promos or provide a certain skill in order to stand out and be worth the investment. |

I don't get it. Jack Swagger's World title reign is criticized a lot. He had a good match with Orton at Extreme Rules, his feud with Big Show was mildly entertaining (which is more entertaining than Cena's storylines) and his loss to Rey Rey was "shocking".

They decided to not call him up until he got a real Dean gimmick or changed his name.

At the very least, as I've stated elsewhere, they need to repackage him as something other than a blatant Kurt Angle clone. Change up his look. Have him keep the 5 o'clock of a guy on a losing streak, have his hair all ragged, (important) have the announcers put over his losing streak and his frustration, ditch the singlet and the patriotic color scheme, and give him an edge. There is something to having him be able to take the piss out of Ryback and yet not be able to "beat" him. Could give him and Skippy something to do in the way of a program. |

This guy Lincoln Broderick in FCW has some sick facial hair. Really rooting for him to get the call soon.

Many second-generation guys over at FCW, but none has "broken through".
I wonder what's going on. |

It seems like 85% of the FCW roster are either sons of former wrestlers or super cut black guys

But it's crazy how the last second-generation wrestler that has really made it has been Cody. There's a lot of them in FCW but they haven't been able to "make it", to distinguish themselves. It's strange. Also, where's Ted Dibiase Jr? Is he injured? |
