WWE superstar Dana Brooke has just returned to the NXT brand; Brooke even participated in last night’s broadcast. The majority of online and live fan responses to Brooke’s return to NXT have been derogatory. Co-host Mickie James stated on “Busted Open Radio” that she believes the firm is undervaluing Brooke’s abilities by keeping her in her current position on the programme.
“I felt like Dana Brooke was the wrong choice to send to NXT in the first place,” James said. “It’s one thing when you send a Seth Rollins or you send [Natalya] back, because they have the respect and they’re workhorses, you know what I mean? Dana was taught [the] WWE style system, and now there’s this whole new generation of that same kind of system, but more elaborate.” James pointed out that Brooke came from a gymnastics and fitness background, and had to learn wrestling in the style that WWE was teaching at the time she came in.”
“That audience never really truly respected Dana when she was down there before, and then that’s one of the reasons why they moved her up to the main roster,” James continued. “I love Dana. I’ve worked with Dana. I think she’s a fabulous person. I think she really has tried really, really hard, in the last couple of years especially, to be more respected for her in-ring work and for her ability.” Expressed James.
“A lot of these stories, they don’t really tap into the emotion — it’s just about the matches,” James said. “I think in NXT, too — they are very in line with that type of audience, that loves those style matches, those five-star whatever matches. A lot of times, the emotional stuff isn’t there. … For Dana, I don’t think she has had a lot of storylines that people have sunk their teeth into and cared about.” Said James.
James brought up the fact that she finds it frustrating that online reviews from complete strangers can have such a significant impact on a performer’s career. The departed WWE star has discovered that a great deal of these viewers watch the show with the intention of criticizing it rather than becoming emotionally attached.
