My biggest take away is that she hasn't learned anything at all.

She's never been a safe worker even before she injured anyone I was shocked at how careless she is... truly not like most girls...

My biggest take away is that she hasn’t learned anything at all.

I would genuinely be surprised if she spent more than a day or three in the ring shaking off the ring rust (and by day or three, I mean like 2-6h across 1-3 days tops) before coming back.

I'm not one to say a wrestler is complete trash.

Phil for example is just a bad person IMHO but he is a safe worker...

Nia is a failed plus size model that was able to get in based on her family. She has a good look because of her size but she is reckless. I was safer as a kid doing stupid wrestling moves with my friends as a kid. (I was very proud that my Hogan leg drop didn't hurt my mom's BF at the time, I wasn't trying to be safe I was just mimicking my hero, and his knee is bent as soon as he jumps up leaving a gap that protects.)

As you grow up you start to notice the HBK leg slaps, the wrestlers put their arms over the middle rope so it rests on their chest and not their neck, you realize it's choreographed and you start finding all the little tricks in the moves that make them possible to do every night without killing people.

Then there is Nia who literally throws her weight around in a reckless fashion, hurting women in her wake. If Jade goes to WWE and she goes up against Nia I could see Nia really hurting her badly thinking that she can take it based on her build.

When one of the most positive members of the wrestling community says she's bad, she's fucking bad. I just can't fathom why they brought her back, it can't just be the relation to the Rock, if so that's so damn stupid. This whole video really shows that she should be in NXT, and not the TV portion of NXT.

I also just can't believe they brought her back without having her do some form of weight control or cardio regiment so she has stamina, they used to send Big Show and Mark Henry to development every time they got so heavy they got gassed going to the ring, I feel they should bring that back. I wouldn't want to put my life in the hands of somebody who is easily fatigued.

My guess is Vince wants to bring back the Rock for a segment or even an angle post merger to show he still has pull.

The worst thing about her is that she is completely obvious to how bad she is, and that it's always someone else's fault.

While I fully agree, I find it strange that Asuka has come to her defense.

It's clear as day that Nia Jax needs work, but to be honest I would trust Asuka to be a good judge of this, especially since they've shared a ring together several times (and IIRC Jax injured her).

Yeah I feel Asuka's take on it has some "Look we're the ones she's injured and even we don't give as much of a fuck as you fans do so maybe calm the fuck down" energy.

Which A) totally understand, the IWC as a whole is fucking rabidly stupid, but B) Hellen fucking Keller could see Nia Jax needed another year or three in NXT getting the fundamentals down before hitting the main roster and she's done little to improve since those days.

I don't want anyone to get hurt, but I just want another sound byte that Maffew can do his magic work for several episodes of BAM.
