I'm watching NXT for the first time on the Network, and it's the first time I've seen Emma wrestle. She's not terrible or anything, she's better than most of the girls in the WWE, but what the is this gimmick? I mean, we've had chicks who dance before, but the way they're having her flail around and stomp her feet in the ring, she honestly comes off like she might almost be mentally challenged. I'm not kidding. That's what it looks like. A friend of mine who isn't a fan sincerely asked me about her character, "Is she, like... intellectually- disabled? Is that her thing? She's the spacey, slow girl?" The girl is talented, and hell, Eugene was over as hell, I just don't like it.

It's difficult to identify Emma as the "female Eugene" when Bayley's character is similar.
But yes, I'm not really digging Emma on the main roster. I absolutely love her on NXT, but it's not coming off the same on RAW and SmackDown.

I haven't seen NXT so the only thing I know about her is that stupid dance and her apparent association with Santino. Nothing about her has me interested yet and as long as she is hanging with that joke Santino doing that stupid dance it is going to be extremely hard to get me interested. It stinks of "gimmick designed for a 12 year old".

Strapping her with Santino was a mistake. I can understand the logic, but it's flawed. WWE knows enough that she has something going on that got her over, but they don't really understand how to identify what got her over and then translate it to the main roster. She's hysterical imo, but they aren't really giving her a fair shot right now because they really stereotyped her comedy. Letting her wrestle is going to help but fans who have never seen her before already have this idea of what she is and they haven't even really seen it yet. She has tons of charm though, so I hope they stick with it.

Bayly looks more entertaining.

She's supposed to be uncoordinated and spaced out... not intellectually- disabled -_-

She looks like she could be more then a comedy geek so they need to lose this stupid dance and Santino.

I like her and her thing. I do not like the Santino pairing. Her gimmick is different where most divas are clones. Plus it seems she can actually go which is rare these days

I wrote and entire article about Emma for the upcoming issue of Ring Sirens magazine. It is due out this coming weekend. Basically I said that while Emma is entertaining on NXT I think her pairing with Santino will hurt her immediate success on the Main Roster. This is the big difference between NXT and the Main Roster. NXT is, for the most part booked by people who know the wrestling business (Dusty Rhodes is/was a booker for NXT), compared to the Main Roster which is written by people who don't have much knowledge of the Wrestling Business. It almost seems that one of the writers on the Main Roster saw Emma on NXT one day and said to himself "That girl will work great with Santino, they both make me laugh" without knowing exactly what was getting her over on NXT.

I don't see her as a Eugene character in any way at all. She's no unintelligent, just goofy and weird.
I don't think they've played it as well on TV as they did in NXT. But I think she's great.

I don't "get it". And it is annoying. Saw her gig at a house show. And it was worse live.

Honestly I just look at her like a party/rave girl. She is basically playing someone on X without saying it.

I didn't like it at first on NXT but she won me over (and the entire NXT Universe). It is taking a while for the WWE Universe to do so, which is to be expected I suppose, but I just want the WWE to give her a little longer because she is a great talent. They finally let her have her bubbles tonight so maybe if she has more matches she'll get more fans?
