an Irish Traveller stable would be funny they could come to the ring in a sulky

Already thought of. Luther Ward during his short NXT stint did that. Somehow he made it back to Ireland:

Also you didn't answer my post brah.

Didn't know Kevin Steen was Canadian till you said it but ya it would be a good idea seeing as he doesn't have the WWE body and the Mountie Uniform would cover it, I hardly watch wrestling anymore mainly keep up via the wrestling observer and other podcasts and Powerslam magazine which I still buy out of habit

This seems to be called the BexPlex:

But is there a better new move name that Alexa Bliss's Sparkle Splash?

DM_7 · 29-06-2014 9:27pm

When Fergal debuts they should pair up as the Furys

Bex and Ferg Fury. Ferg could bring his Guitar and Bex can do her jig.

JAYSUS. Just watched NXT. STATE of your stereotype gimmick. I'm sure she's a decent wrestler, I'm very happy to see Irish wrestlers succeed, it's just this gimmick. Holy ****. Absolutely hate the céilí/fighting Irish bull****. This is Hornswoggle 2007 embarrassing (to me). I can imagine Vince rolling around the floor laughing.

Glad I'm not the only one. I like her alot but I just saw her entrance on You Tube and had to turn it off just as she was in the ring. That was terrible. I hate these gimmicks so much. I thought Sheamus was over done but this....its shocking.

I understand your position especially if you are from a cultural stronghold Galway but don't give up yet. People were down on Bailey and NXTheif Emma when they first debutted.

I really hope she doesn't end up in the **** tier of gimmicks with your CJ Parkers and Mojo Rawley. She's too good for that.

CastorTroy · 01-07-2014 11:13pm

So you don't want to see Becky as a always hyped eco warrior?

rovert · 01-07-2014 11:37pm

Unless they make a rare deviation Becky's only match for the month of July on NXT will be on this week's episode. Which I really want to see with my own two eyes. I am going with spoilers:

Becky Lynch and Bayley vs. Sasha Banks and Charlotte is next. Charlotte got the pin on Becky after Bow Down to The Queen. After the match, Charlotte looked on from the stage while Sasha beat up Becky. Bayley came back and took Sasha out before checking on Becky.

Was taped the same day as all the main roster releases (Drew & Jinder, Aksana etc) so I was kind of scared reading the spoilers as her match seemed write off-ish - like when Kassius Ohno being slaughtered in his last match. Despite assurances otherwise. It is likely (moreso as time goes on) just a beginning of a longer term

association with Bailey in a tag team.

I liked Bailey and Emma from the beginning. I don't like the way they debuted Emma on Raw though. Oh I believe Becky has all the talent in the world to succed but I fear for the gimmick that WWE hand her. I don't mind her Irishness being brought up but when they make her a cartoon character of fake Irishness it goes a bit too far. Reminds me of the film Leap Year and the way some Americans view Irish people. I do wish Becky all the best though don't get me wrong I hope she is a huge success.

rovert · 03-07-2014 2:51am

This week's match:

CastorTroy · 03-07-2014 11:49am

Kinda looks like Bayley's the champ.

rovert · 03-07-2014 8:28pm

They are both Champions

rovert · 04-07-2014 5:19am

Haven't seen the full match yet but going by what I've seen and read her dancing was greatly toned down.

She also has an WWE.com finally after the biggest randomers gettg theirs first:

http://www.wwe.com/superstars/divas/beckylynch

rovert · 04-07-2014 1:34pm

The was your standard solid armbar-tastic NXT Divas match. The character development was the stronger suit.

Different from the spoilers - no beatdown of Becky instead Sasha talked trash to her on the ground.

William Regal seems in love with saying "Becky Lynch"

Also NO DANCING.

ShagNastii · 04-07-2014 1:45pm

That Bexflex is super looking mone.

Am I the only one that thinks she is the head of Roseanna Davison?

rovert · 04-07-2014 1:56pm

No you are not ShagNastii:

The interviewer (who didn't know what Pro Wrestling was) said that at the end of it. When she was told she was interviewing a female Wrestler the interviewer said she was expecting a "bullock" and not someone who looked like Rosanna Davidson.

rovert · 04-07-2014 5:53pm

When Becky turns on her it will be so great:

CastorTroy · 04-07-2014 9:50pm

She wouldn't do that to Bayley. Poor Bayley. She just wants to be friends and everyone leaves her.

Diabhal Beag · 04-07-2014 10:13pm

Becky will never be the heel, nor the entertainer, that Rosanna is. Rosanna cheated in a charity women's mini marathon. Twink wouldn't do that.

Charlie Haughy · 04-07-2014 10:40pm

Serious looker that wan Rosanna davidson... wasn't she on that show for simpletons that was on years ago, Fade Street I think it was called.

Diabhal Beag · 04-07-2014 10:57pm

Fade Street was the last great RTE production. She wasn't on it though.

I used to really hate that programme, but I had to watch it at the same time to see how bad it could get. Highlight was one of the girls' on/off boyfriend who came up from "the country" and embarrassed her in front of her D4 friends. He was a bit of a legend.

bobby_says_hi · 08-07-2014 8:25pm

Wow can't believe I missed this entire thread. That article was fun to write. I just remembered I did another one when she returned to wrestling back in 2012 and completely forgot about it.

Since people are sharing, I have one other fun story. It was the end of a show and everyone was clearing up. There were a bunch of hyperactive kids running around with toy swords pretending to stab everyone. After a while Rebecca joined in with them and fell to floor dramatically saying "alas, I have been slain". It was every bit as adorable as you're probably imagining

seandotcomm · 09-07-2014 12:55am

Just watching NXT from last week. they need to ditch that music.. STAT!
I wont even get into the stupid jig thing.. which I'm glad to hear they've dropped / toned down since...

rovert · 13-07-2014 1:36am

Becky disposed of Mafia doll Carmella tonight. The big news that she never danced once and got rid of the flared trousers:

She listening! My most current gripe is that her MOVE SET remains at about seven moves.

bobby_says_hi · 13-07-2014 1:44am

That's pretty normal for a face wrestler. A new face establishing themselves needs to have their 'five moves of doom' so that the fans get familiar with their routine. Take a look at the other face Divas and their sequences:

*Paige - short-arm clotheslines, knees to the chest, dropkick, Paige Turner, PTO
*Emma - slide-under sunset flip, Dil-Emma, Emmamite Sandwich, catapult, Emma Lock
*Bayley - Polish Hammers, shoulder block, diving back elbow, exploder suplex, Belly-to-Bayley

It's all a pretty recognisable comeback. When she gets to have longer matches we'll see more from her

I think that's my favourite name for a finisher, ever.

Well aware of the in house style just but where's her Chain Wrestling, maaaaaaaaannnnn.

According to this review she changed her ring gear and stop dancing as previously stated but also they changed her music to something less Orish:

Next up was divas action as Carmella took on Becky Lynch. I've only seen Carmella wrestle a handful of times now and this was definitely her best outing yet. Her natural athleticism along with her princess of Staten Island gimmick equals big time potential. Becky Lynch continued to prove why she is probably my favorite female wrestler on the roster with her high energy and a bit of a rougher style than you are used to seeing from the ladies. Lynch had new ring gear and new music, it seems they are relying less on Irish stereotypes and relying more on the skills and energy of the self described “life enthusiast. It was an entertaining match culminating in Lynch winning via pinfall.

She made the show poster for the first time too:

montyrebel · 13-07-2014 11:57am

7 moves is still 2 more than cena :pac:

Apologies jayk/mods I was on my phone earlier which was on the mobile style, didn't spot that I'd quoted rovert's (I now see!) rather large pic.

rovert · 21-07-2014 12:07am

Very controversial Instagram video of Becky doing a plug for an NXT live event:

http://instagram.com/p/qrf6ALMUoM/

There's a lot of similar comments online. :pac:

CastorTroy · 21-07-2014 2:12am

Are all wrestlers just sticking their names into words now?

And I think he means she doesn't sound Oirish.

bobby_says_hi · 21-07-2014 2:32am

A lot of them do but she's just someone that LOVES her puns - as a glance at her Twitter account will show

why is the video controversial? or is it the fan's comment that's controversial? her accent isn't particularly strong so it's understandable that foreign viewers not familiar with Irish accents don't get it. Also she's been in and out of the US so it wouldn't be surprising if she had a few American pronunciations in there. Layla's accent has almost completely faded now

Cianan2 · 21-07-2014 12:49pm

In fairness she sounds like she has been watching Goodfella's a lot in that video, not a hint of Irish in that at all ha!

P_1 · 21-07-2014 4:16pm

Her accent wouldn't sound out of place on a certain Dublin college campus tbh. Unfortunately the SCD accent isn't 'Darby o'Gill' enough to fit certain folks stereotypes...

Was going to say this. Her accent sounds perfectly Irish to me. The problem is for many Americans, it won't sound "Oirish"....

Yep. Hopefully she won't be made put on a heavier accent (but she may do it herself like Conor McGregor). WWE push every Irishman as a Irish-jig dancing shamrock-loving moron! A leprechaun, Finlay dressed in green carrying a shillelagh and luminous-ginger Sheamus who talks in Irish fables.

Sometimes it is uploaded early on the WWE Network on demand before the live WWE Network airing (2.00am Friday morning our time) - no more than say an hour early.

Sometimes it leaks illegally on download sites around 8pm Thursday say as it airs early on Australian and Abu Dubai TV.
