There used to be an official thread stickied but I couldn't find it. So kindly move this there if it still exists. I'm starting to really hate this show. If it wasn't for seeing the divas dressed like hookers 90% of the time and going to pole dancing classes, I would have stopped watching. But I'm a huge wrestling fan and usually watch anything that pertains to it. Especially shows that get my wife interested in it. Why do they keep acting like and saying that Bryan isn't getting paid while he is out with his injuries? Isn't he still under a contract that pays him his guaranteed base? No he's not getting any draws from events but he's still selling merch. Also, they are starting to let hints of keyfabe get in the way of which is supposed to be "reality." I also can't understand how or why Brie and Bryan have to go shop for used appliances. I'm bored at work and this stuff has been bothering me. Sorry if it sounds a little uneducated pertaining to DBry's pay but some of that contract has to be guaranteed barring an injury right? WWE and Vince have been accused of a lot of things over the years, but one thing they are good at is taking care of their own. Sending a former star to rehab 11 times and paying for it when that star is no good to you anymore is a huge example of that. Just trying to start a discussion... Nothing is real about reality tv. They have script writers & come up with things like his salary issues. Sure, he is making less..but he's also not spending all the travel expenses. Those shows aren't made for people with common sense or knowledge. Idk the workings of his contract, but he may still be on the relatively cheap. He is laid back & may not fight for extra dollars & make less than he deserves.

It's alright. The stories are mostly laughably stupid, and every character except Naomi, Bryan and Cena comes off awful -- and even those three at times can be quite bad. Total Divas has made me want Naomi to do well, even though in the ring she's as bad as the rest of the divas.

If this god awful show brings back some brief glimpse of kayfabe, I'm all for it. Its fun to NOT be in the loop every once in a while.
That's why I can't stand it when people need to know the plot or script to Avengers 2 or Bats v Supes, as example. Why do we have to know every single thing about things like this? You set yourself up for disappointment when you know everything going into an episode of SmackDown or a movie. There is no room left for surprises.
Anyway back on topic, I have never watched this show.

Total Divas has made me hate Natalya from the way she acts on that show. How can Natalya be portrayed as a face if on Total Divas she immediately starts giving Summer Rae and Eva Marie s**t when they come along?

I kinda enjoyed the first season,mainly for the "peek behind the curtain" aspect of it. but as time went on it became grating and,so obviously,fake. and,honestly,if I were some of the people on the show,I'd be concerned about how it portrays me,even in false storylines:
Natalya just comes off like a total bitch all the time. Kidd spends good money on her birthday present,and she just walks out and threatens separation? and Tyson seems more interested in watching TV and playing with the cat than giving Nattie a jump?
Rosa has lesbian tendencies toward Natalya? did anyone tell Michael Hayes?
Jimmy Uso is a total douchebag because his wife is having serious gynecological problems,so he's always pissed because he can't get laid?
Summer Rae is a slut,desperate to not be lonely?
Nikki Bella is only worried about how lavishly she can live,spending Cena's money (actually,this is probably true), while rubbing it into Brie's face,now that she and Bryan are supposedly "broke" ? and Brie copes by lashing out at everyone?
Cameron is just her own separate level of fakeness.
tell me how ANYONE who is on the show is supposed to be rooted for in any way?

I will say this, if Total Divas is turning you off, don't waste your time watching it. Find something you like and stick with watching that. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out.

This show only has 2 storylines and is just as repetitive as Raw or Smackdown
1) Divas arguing with their boyfriend/husband
2) Divas arguing with each other
And exactly why are fans supposed to like the women on the show?
Nikki Bella-Golddigger who enjoys spending John Cena's money
Brie Bella-It was Total Divas that introduced this Brie Mode crap they are shoving down our throats now. Cries poverty when she is getting paid for being on Total Divas even if she is not an active wrestler.
Cameron-Has no passion/knowledge/talent for the business and seems more interested in having a rap career
Natalya-Verbally abusive towards Tyson Kidd and new Divas
Summer Rae-Constantly talking about how lonely she is while looking like she could be Big Bird's little sister
Eva Marie-Being hired just for Total Divas and called up to the main roster after 6 weeks isnt going to get wrestling fans on her side, but she does have potential to be a top women's heel even if she wasnt on the show

Walking Dead comes back on this week... Just saying... Thank you!!! See people, there are other programs worth checking out on Sunday night's. If you don't like what you see on Total Divas, it is called picking up the remote, going to the guide, and finding something worth watching.

Many Raw angles and Divas matches are booked around Total Divas, so people are still watching it even if they arent tuning in Sunday nights and actually watching it.

That could explain why the WWE is incorporating stuff on Total Divas into actual storylines.
