Did you know that World Wrestling Insanity has a Message Board? Yep. We’ve done got us one of them there fancy Message Boards, where you, the random, unnamed wrestling fan can go and vent your frustrations. From WWE’s Family Friendly Direction, to ROH’s Production issues, to whatever stupid stunt TNA is running with this week, the Insanity Message Boards is your place to speak your mind. You can also interact with fellow Insanity Readers, as well as the Insanity Staff. We even have an E-Fed, if you’re into that whole “Role-Playing” thing, so feel free to stop on by and join in the fun!

In the meantime though, here's a taste of what you're missing –

So, you know the joke. Mike's the Divas Fan. Mike wrote a thing for the site called "NXT: Divas". WWE actually goes on to do an NXT: Divas, which debuted last night, and, apparently, Canadian Bulldog thinks I have a lawsuit on my hands. Oh, if only this site had a resident lawyer I could consult with…

  But, in all seriousness (or, at least the seriousness the subject itself will allow), here's what the folks on the Insanity Message Boards thought of WWE's Divas' NXT: Night 1 –

TheGreatWhiteDope
If WWE has turned PG and is aimed towards kids, why do they need all their divas to be playboy centerfold material? I mean, should it matter if it is all marketed towards kids? Or are we doing the Barbie thing and given the little girls bad self image early?

NXT Rookie Challenge time

The Keg Carry is going to be tricky in those heels.

TheGreatWhiteDope
I feel terrible for not mentioning the smart thing WWE seems to be doing with this season. They aren't letting these women wrestle apparently. Its 20 after and they're on the challenge. I figure this'll take thirty minutes, some BS, end of show. Keep them from wrestling, smart.

Ok, I actually laughed at the "Elaine" dance...

The Green Teabagger
These assholes have Gail Kim, Natalya, Beth Phoenix (even on crutches), Maryse (who is at least passable), Melina, and as annoying as they are LayCool and yet chose to have NXT Rookie Divas paired with....

Kelly Kelly
Alicia Fox
Vickie Guerrero
The Bella Twins
Primo, who will probably be future endeavored in order to pay the new Diva
Goldust (which was GENIUS I got to give them that)

wolfchild
If you haven't started crying thinking about all the girls they've released or just, flat out, refused to sign that could actually wrestle...

Then you win...

"I want people to know you can do anything in life. Especially if you have fake breasts. It makes it a thousand times easier."

I wonder if Jamie talks like that all the time? I liked the flower in her hair.

Did Matt say this was a 12 week season? If it is then its going to be a long one.

MJ: For the record, MINE at least had talent featured on it…

 If you were watching NXT's Season 2 Finale last week, though, and were wondering, "Hey, what happened to that 7 foot tall girl, Alo-What's-Her-Name, that was supposed to be on here?!", you haven't spent enough time on the boards, apparently. Here's what happened to Aloasia, and the fallout following it –

Aaron Wood
Well, they've FIRED ALOISIA ALREADY!

http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/vickiealoisia

Quote:

WWE Pro Vickie Guerrero has fired her NXT season three Rookie Diva, Aloisia.

Various sources are reporting that Guerrero, the temperamental Official Consultant of SmackDown, had an argument with her 6-foot-9 Rookie Diva over Vickie's influence over Aloisia.

The news has left WWE NXT season three shaken before it's even started. But when reached for comment, Guerrero stated she would reveal her new Rookie Diva on the WWE NXT season three premiere this Tuesday night at 10 p.m. ET on Syfy.

I doubt this is an angle, and they've worded it this way since the rookies aren't yet supposed to have jobs in the WWE in theory, and the prs are the ones who scouted these talents. I mean, the ONLY way this could be an angle is if they suddenly decided to make her a babyface and wanted her split from Vickie, but then that would be somehting done in storyline, but by means of an announced firing.

Alexander Phoenix
I was so looking forward to the eventual Santino Marella-Tamina-Aloisia love triangle which eventually somehow included Hornswoggle, Vicki Guerrero, Kozlov, and a returning Beth Phoenix to reunite Glamarella.

RDLee
Ah sh*t. The ONLY reason most of us were gonna tune into NXT season 3 is now gone.

I guess NXT is going off the ol' DVR tonight.

TheMaverickMJ
Okay, so let assess. Aloisia, who was hired on primarily (if not SOLEY) to fill in a spot in a Divas NXT, is already fired before it begins, and we're faced with the prospect of admitting that WWE doesn't, in fact, have the diva talent necessary to fill out an NXT season and has to hire from the outside (something I inadvertently predicted), OR, we burn our entire FCW Divas roster off on a 5-week NXT that will more than likely be the end of the series altogether (something else I may have inadvertently predicted).

Damn. I must have superpowers or something...

Aaron Wood
The current theory going round is that Aloisia is still signed to WWE, but has been pulled from NXT, and will stay in FCW for the forseeable future, hence the more kayfabed explanation on wwe.com, rather than the usual dry wording that ends with "Future endeavours".

exx
Seems to be a work or some sort. Beth Phoenix is making comments on twitter:

"So WAS Aloisha "The Amazon" fired by Vickie..OR did she QUIT!? Hmmm...maybe she was scared to face the Glamazon if she won. Can't blame her."

RYTMAN
My question:
Did she F*CK THE F*CK UP SOMETHING SO F*CKING BAD they had to pull her? Or are they trying to protect a potential "chosen one"
among the other girls?
OR:
Is it possible that she was getting so much attention already; the WWE decided to save her for something better than NXT?

Squeaky
She's a 6'9 woman who looks like she would murder you. That's her gimmick FOREVER. She doesn't need NXT.

Aaron Wood
Actually, when I said "the current theory" I mean the 99.9% likelihood. They signed her so damn quick that they didn't particularly realise how green as grass she is, and will now be holed up in Florida for the forseeable future. Not a case that they have a better idea, because they love NXT and putting her with Vickie is a great way to launch a heel's career, I think you'd agree.

 Then, there's the weekly conversations that go on during Monday Night Raw. What stupid thing did Michael Cole say to get people talking this week?

The Green Teabagger
For the love of f*ck, Cole. WE KNOW. It's not like you get e-mails from anyone else during the show.

TheGreatWhiteDope
OMG General Manager just sent a message on his Apple IMac with GX4200 Graphics card with 2gigs of internal RAM. Turns out the GM Imac Laptop also has world of warcraft and steam installed. Garage Band is also used to work on new superstar's theme songs.

Randy Orton sold intrigue as the laptop sent its message.

Man I wish Morrison was back on Smackdown. Ever since he got drafted, you'd might as well call him "Job Morrison"

The Green Teabagger
John Morrison is unique.

He's the only wrestler to ever be the Michaels of one team (MNM) and the Jannetty of another (Dirt Sheet)

TheMaverickMJ
Technically, Joey Matthews (the Jannetty of MNM) was a Michaels of another team, as well. Matthews & Christian York.

One could also make the argument that Lance Storm (the Shawn of the Impact Players) was the Jannetty of Sudden Impact (with Chris Jericho).

Care to wager thy nerd powers?

The Green Teabagger
First, who the fuck is Christian York?

Second, WWE has taught me that you can revise history however you want and that if it didn't happen under a WWE banner, it never happened.

TheMaverickMJ
1 - Christian York: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_York

2 - Good answer

TheGreatWhiteDope
glad Gabriel has that 450 he did on tape, because Cena giving him the FU and making him tap with the STFU is gonna be used on a ton more highlight reels.

Eaglesfn345
Speaking of MNM, damn I miss Melina's old ring entrance on Smackdown. Tazz would sound like he was having a heart attack when she did that split.

TheMaverickMJ
She used to wear skirts back then, too. I miss that.

Smashing the computer got the biggest pop.. That should tell them something..

The Green Teabagger
Michael Cole just went from euphoria to seething anger. It's like he actually is married to The Miz

nelsolo
Why is there a bunch of sheets of paper on the GM's laptop?

That kinda ruined the camera shot for me. Tou know, the one taken from behind the computer podium, with Edge wanting to destroy said comupter. It wouldn't have been hard to put them away for a little while. All I could see was the fake computer with a bunch of paper resting on the keyboard. Maybe if I had HD I could have read the GM's next e-mail?

  Finally, our leat Hot Thread of the Week comes from our own RDLee, with some thoughts about where the Nexus' "High Purpose" angle is going -

So I was bored and thinking out loud a little while ago after my RAW report and I think I may have come up with something.

Since Nexus has shown up and turned the WWE Universe upside down we have all wondered about something that hasn't quite been explained yet.

Wade Barrett has said on more than one occasion that the reason they have all done what they did is for a "greater purpose" or because of a "grand plan that will be revealed one day". And it dawned on me that maybe this could be close to the plan or at least in the right direction.

NXT. Three Letters. What do they mean exactly? No one really knows. NeXT Breakout star? I doubt it. I am going to break it down and present my case.

N - Stands for "Nexus" obviously. We all know this story already. The season one rookies lead by Wade Barrett invaded RAW and are currently dominating the brand.

X - Could stand for anything I guess, but for fun and to go along with my idea I will name it "Xodus" (Sort of like Exodus minus the E of course) which would be the name of a Michael McGillicutty lead stable of season 2 guys to take over on the Smackdown side.

T - Now this one isn't as clear cut for me name wise. I would assume it would naturally fall in line with the women rookies. I decided on "Triad" which could possibly work and sounds like a group name. I would wager to bet they will also attempt a takeover of the WWE women's division when the season is over like all the previous rookies did.

Now with that being said. N-X-T is the greater purpose. They are all together on seperate brands/rosters in order to completely take over the WWE and push the youth movement that is being talked about happening soon. This could be the common purpose Barrett spoke of coming to fruition.

This is just a taste of what you're missing on the Boards. Why don't you come by sometime and check it out for yourself, eh? You never know when something you post may end up being the next Hot Thread.
