So I'm all for the calling up new talent in the divas division on Monday, and I'm happy with had the great end result of adding more talent to the pool, however wouldn't that segment have been better, and the ladies themselves been better served, had they allowed the ladies to just debut organically (run in and help Paige, call out the Bella's in a promo of their own, etc) rather than having Stephanie come in and glom the heat by being the one to "save" Paige? Isn't she supposed to be a heel anyway? And she's had zero to do with the division in months now, but now she's suddenly "running" the divas? Doesn't this actually take some of the shine off their debuts?

My only complaint with the segment was Stephanie’s involvement as well. I get why they did it though. Nikki had been saying it was her division so the real owner came out and laid down the law. And yes, it annoyed me a lot that she was playing babyface when she has been a heel for a long time. But, it is what it is.

I was watching that WCW pay per view where Sid Vicious broke his leg.  My question is why did they continue the match when Sid suffered a compound fracture? I can understand they wanted to finish the angle they set up.  But they didn't even bring out EMTs to check on Sid, even though it was obvious he needed medical attention. Your thoughts?

I have no answer for that one. It was ridiculous. Wrestlers are tough guys. I would have been calling for my momma.

Why was Sasha Banks not wearing her NXT Women's Championship belt on RAW? When Owens was NXT champ and showed up on RAW, he always had his belt. Seems odd.

That is what the company chose to do, probably because the big angle was to follow. They did mention she was the NXT Women’s Champion during the commentary.

Question about the RAW finish with Seth, Kane and Lesnar last night. Does the WWE have some kind of magic cage where once the supertars enter the backstage area, they are locked up so they can't come back out? It just looks so silly that Lesnar wanted to get his hands on Rollins, Rollins looks to leave the arena, Lesnar leaves and Rollins comes back to spew his venom at Kane, as if Lesnar can't hear Seth in the back? Not only that, but, Rollins goes up to the ramp into the back at the end of the broadcast. If Lesnar was as mad as he seemed and wanted to get his hands on Rollins, why wouldn't he just come back out and get Seth while he was walking up the ramp? 

BOOM! You nailed it. They say you have to give them poetic license but I think they are booking DUI at times and should have that license revoked.

Can there actually be hope for women's wrestling after this insane moment in Atlanta? Hell, the fans chanted "This is awesome" before all the ladies even started fighting, all three NXT women got a loud reaction even before Stephanie McMahon spoke out their names and I could clearly hear one of the announcers say "women's wrestling". I know it all starts and ends with Vince McMahon, but if this RAW (which was a great episode from start to finish) is any indication, could a case be made for Vince having found back his "groove"? He gets a lot of flack, righfully so, for all the bad that his company produced over the years, but shouldn't he also get a lot of praise for what his flagship show is right now (it wasn't the first strong episode in the near past)?

The praise and criticism goes to the person at the top. In this case, that is Vince. Could we see a renaissance of the Divas division? Sure, the talent is there. It all depends on Vince pulling the trigger.
