She's certainly something.

A lucha extraordinaire?
The woman destined to save NXT?
Matt Cardona's better half?

Matt Cardona? Hmm...I don't know that name. I wonder if he has another name, or perhaps a nickname I might know him better by?

Best line in the video? "I swear to fucking God..."

Yeah, I would say tht too, @Dead2009, if I saw the ratings drops AEW's suffered this year; does Tony Khan even know how to book anymore?

Watch the entire clip to the end.

TNA fans were chanting, "NXT".

WWE needs to buy TNA.

Ethan Page thinks highly of the WWE operation now that he has settled into the system in NXT.

He doesn’t, however, think very highly of his former place of business.

During a recent Talk’n Shop interview, “All Ego” spoke about how much he is enjoying his current run in NXT, and how the place he just left, AEW and ROH, was “so chaotic and unorganized.”

“Pretty crazy,” Page said when asked about his first day in NXT. “I went from somewhere that was so chaotic and unorganized to a place that, I mean I’m still learning because I’m still so new here, but this is a machine and it’s incredible. It feels good to not feel like I have to do everything myself. To have people that want to see me succeed is kind of mind blowing.”

Page would go on to offer high praise for the coaches he works with at the WWE Performance Center facility in Orlando, Florida.

“I’m seventeen years in, I still feel like — I don’t want to say the word green, but like, I’ve essentially had to do everything myself,” he said. “I pretty much taught myself how to wrestle and now I’m like, oh, there’s geniuses here all day that I can be like, ‘Does this suck? Okay, well tell me how to do it better,’ and they will.”

I completely forgot there were GCW shows this weekend lol. Missed the outdoor one yesterday, forgot about the one tonight. Whoops!

WWE needs to buy TNA.

Why? WWE already has both NXT and NXT UK.

That said, I think the current relationship works - TNA stars like Jordynne Grace get primo air time w/NXT and WWE gets to give its' wrestlers who aren't being used as much a chance to keep their skills fresh w/out going to a developmental territory as was the case when they worked w/Ohio Valley Wrestling back when Cornette was running it.
