Yeah, we better judge all new wrestlers after two weeks of them on the TV. And then complain about the WWE not being willing to give them time to get over. Good plan.

So are you saying you can't see what Jackie's character is after two weeks?

I wonder how many takes it took for her to spout off three lines and only make one mistake.
"All games aside, all lames aside I'm a rebel, with all K's combined "All things in line; I ain't heard of y'all I'm from Murder March One of the illest spitters with a verbal bark Yo where your burners at? Fizzy Wo' will raise the heat like a thermostat"
As long as the matches are as entertaining as the women's match was, I'm willing to give her time to make her character something more than one-dimensional and to get more comfortable on the mic. I honestly think that women's match was the best tag match this year on Raw, and really look forward to the women more than damn near anything else on the show these days. And I have no problem with Jackie being a part of that group.
Anyone remember the joy of seeing him bash the Undertaker's motorcycle with his sledgemhammer and doing no damage and being all like, "Mjolnir will not break thine cycle? I say thee NAY!" and dumping it off the stage. - Enojado Viento says the funniest thing I've ever read on Wienerville.
I like GOOD WRESTLING. Men, women, hardcore, technical...as long as it's good and entertaining, I'll watch it. There's too much inconsistency with the characters now...but hopefully the writers will let Linda & Jackie find their own characters, sort of like how Lita, Trish & Molly have all found theirs.

I like her and think that given time she will do good things. i think they are stacking the shit on her now to see how much she can stand. Trish got flamed like mad when she started and now she is getting better every week.

I'm saying if they *did* pull her after two weks, we'd be up in arms about how the writers 'aren't giving her a chance to get her charafcter over' and 'she's being kept down by HHH or Steph or whoever.'

When Linda tagged into last night's match, I turned to a friend of mine and said "Look! Manute Bol grew hair!"
"Feed Terri," hell. Linda's listed as 6'0", 155 lbs., which is five pounds heavier than Spike Dudley (who's four inches shorter). I'm not saying that her runner's-physique looks BAD per se, as it's a lot more natural-looking than the Anorexia Model style, but it is unusual in a wrestling context.

Uhh, putz?
Lita, Trish & Molly all went through a couple of character makeovers throughout their careers, some at the hands of the writers. What I don't get is that when the writers actually do something good these days, like finally getting a good concept for Trish and Molly and advancing the Miss Demeanor gimmick to bring us the pants sagging thong wearin' Lita we all know and love, nobody gives them credit.
Hmmph. Silly if you ask me.
While working security at a local indy show, I saw Ricky Morton's bare ass, and the next time I hear anybody out there say "playing Ricky Morton", the person they mention had best have a really nice ass.

I thought Linda looked really great last night, a lot better looking than during TE2(and definitely prettier than Manute). I think she was attempting a lot of kicks last night, I can see her being a lot more aerial as her skills progress.
Jackie does NOT need to leave TV. Let's see where this McMahon thing is going and then judge if from there. (I think she may have slipped on the acting a LITTLE bit, but she recovered, and in general, in the ring and out she is a better actress than Linda by far.) I doubt she is going to be "sleeping" or making out with him, a la Trish or Stacy. Hoepfully she is using him to get over on Trish. If they give her a little push I think she will go far, a lot farther than Linda would IMHO.
I think the perfect plan for RAW right now is to have Jackie use McMahon to bring in her friend Annie from TE, have them team up and take Trish out, squashing her. Next week Trish goes to MOLLY for help, asking her to burry the hatchet so she can show this MTV girl a lesson and put her in her place with Molly's great talent. During said tag match, Trish TURNS ON MOLLY, joining Jackie and Annie. Instant female heel stable, Molly is a face=Instant ratings.
TE Jackie acting backstage the last few weeks were horrible, no questioning that. But I'll give her a break for now, in a couple of months if it's still that bad (or in lita's case a couple of years). Then let the bashing begin...lol... Actually I remember Trish first interview, it was actually in-ring with Test and Albert standing next to her and she started getting the giggles really bad. But that was live, and after that she did pretty good backstage stuff like the table tease on bubba (I still remember that Wow)
The thing with Jackie I quick look at her she does look a little like Trish, even though I think Trish is prettier and sexier, but looking quickly they look similar. Jackie really should do something with her hair, change colour, cut it shorter, something to make her different.
I think it's easier to make Jackie over, but I truly think Linda could be the one that stands out. She's got the unique look, and brings something different to the table. For some reason I like the Trish/Linda team, don't know why, maybe because they are soo different form each other. maybe the thought of Smackdown a few weeks ago of Trish helping Linda stretch, and seeing Linda leg longer then Trish's entire body..
As for the women we have it looks like we have some distinction
Molly - gymnastic style - charcter judmental jerk, I like what they did on Monday, Bringing up stuff from people past and belittling what they accomplish, that's a good heel.
Trish - sytle bumping machine/realistic offense, really the days of surprising improving is over, she's at the top her game is now, and should be mentioned with the rest of the Mollys/Ivorys - character, always looking and trying to get respect, tries hard to live down her shacky past
(IR)Jazz - bitpull style - character No ones' friends, lone wolf
Linda - style long kicks, some jumping. ONe move from Raw that caught me was her giving someone a headlock and someone else came in and she stretched her leg and knocked the run in down, she's the only girl that can do that - charcter not much just happy to be there for now.
TE Jackie - she showed some goods on the match the japanesse armdrag (thanks CRZ) Trish gave her was sweet and the Stratusphere she took well. Jackie timing was a little off. - charcter well join the line of Trish of the past, Torrie for a few weeks, Stacy and Dawn.
(IR)Lita - Well awful in the ring, but does get a crowd responce with having to do little (lucky her) - character alternative girl.
Nidia on Smackdow seems like she's got her character done well, don't know if she's any good in the ring, Ivory as the vet could be used as well too bad she's stuck with Torrie/Stacy bikini contest... Right now you have a few different type of characters you could choose from and build, who know's it might work.
I don't get it, everyone loves rats, but they don't want to drink the rats milk?
The whole skit was scary in a Lawler/Vince/pervert sort of way. Definitely not the way I would want to debut on RAW. She looked a little green in the ring but nothing that can't be worked off with time. You can see the potential with both women, they just need time.
