JBL’s Frustration Over Slow Ring Setup at Smackdown Taping

At Tuesday’s “Smackdown” taping in Rhode Island JBL who serves as a commentator grew impatient with referees as they were setting up the ring for the broadcast. He took to the microphone to give them a piece of his mind and WWE cameras were rolling.

John Layfield is not one to shy away from speaking his mind and this unexpected and not planned outburst is a perfect example. You should hear him on politics!

You guys are taking all day! How slow are you? People are going to sleep out here and you guys haven’t figured out how to put a ring up

The WWE DIVAS ARE NOR JUST A PRETTY FACE

Hello, All
My name is Vanessa and 1st off let me say how excited I am to be writing for DTRT wrestling and sharing my thoughts with you fans. I hope you all will enjoy me as much as I will enjoy bringing my take to the table. Ok so now that I got the introduction out of the way lets get to the WWE divas shall we? Although the divas didn’t have a featured match on raw this week they still had a memorable moment. This weeks diva focus was a backstage segment. The segment started off with the WWE Divas champion Eve. She was seen on her cell phone talking to an unknown caller about “AJ’s allegations”. She started name dropping superstars AJ has been with in the past such as CM Punk, Daniel Bryan and Kane. She even accused her of being with her former NXT pro Primo. All the while Kaitlyn is Eavesdropping on the conversation. She then confronts Eve asking “Who are you to throw stones? Of corse Eve is confused and maintains her innocence. Kaitlyn then confronts Eve with evidence that was found on Eve’s IPad on last weeks Smackdown. The evidence shows that Eve was indeed the one who attack Kaitlyn at Night of champions leaving her unable to compete. This of corse makes Eve furious. She yells at Kaitlyn saying she had no right to look at her personal belongings and that she was going to take it up with Smackdown GM Booker T. As Eve attempts to walk away in a fit Kaitlyn grabs her by the arm and utters the words that all us fans have been thinking all along. “Drop the nice little girl act Eve we all know your just a little with.” Eve quickly turns and Slaps Kaitlyn square in the face thus leading to one of those classic backstage brawls we fans all know and love. What would a classic WWE brawl be without someone getting thrown into a table of food and that one peace making always trying to break it up? That peace maker was none other the former divas champion Layla. Now we all know Layla and Kaitlyn have a friendship so of corse Layla would try and keep Kaitlyn out of trouble. As Layla attempts to pull Kaitlyn off Eve, Eve being the heel she is decides to defend herself against Layla. The one on one fight quickly turns into a good ol’ fashion triple threat. Eventually thy fight was broken up by WWE officials ending the segment. So that leaves me with two questions for all of you reading this today. Do you think this could lead to a triple threat for the title at hell in a Cell this Sunday? And if so which diva are you pulling for? A great heel that we have in Eve, The former champ or the fan favorite known as the NXT ROOKIE Kaitlyn??? Comment away guys. I’ll be back this Saturday with a Smackdown Divas review. Until next time take care and have a great week.

Why AJ Lee’s new creative direction is a positive

This week AJ Lee’s storyline as general manager ended. This was expected by most of those who follow April closely, she has mentioned on a few occasions that she missed being in the ring.

While her time as general manager was entertaining I missed her in regular matches showcasing her style and athletic abilities.

AJ’s wrestling abilities have not been seen in months and for those of us who know of her skills this has been one of the drawbacks of her doing the general manager persona.

I have not been impressed with how the WWE has handled their Diva’s. The fact is female wrestlers are just as skilled as male wrestlers and just as entertaining with storylines when allowed to do so.

AJ Lee is well trained in technical wrestling skills and her smaller size gives her an advantage with speed.

I hope we see the divas championship taken more seriously and we see AJ eventually work her way to become a legit champion with a main event worthy match being featured at an upcoming pay-per-view event.

There is no reason in my opinion why the divas division can’t be right up there with the other titles and divisions
