But what's crazy is she isn't even that bad compared to, say, the Bellas. I was confused as hell the second season where she just showed up and everyone hated her, calling her a whore and whatnot.
General thoughts on the cast up to season 3:
The Bellas: I know everything is a work, but I'm starting to believe the Bellas are just legit unlikable people. And how many times Cena gotta tell ol girl he ain't marrying her or having no babies before she lets it go?
Cameron: I cringed at her using Brandy's brother for some paparazzi shine. Her boyfriend is an entertaining loser.
Natalya: You can tell management has a hard on for shitting on the Hart family. Nattie looks like a damn fool on the regular on this show. That episode with the painting was the worst example. Painting wasn't even that bad, but the Bellas spent the whole episode shitting on her and it.
And TJ is clearly over it. Man showed more passion over Cameron losing their cat than anything with his wife.
Eva Marie: When she fucked up 3MB's entrance.... Bruh. I cried. Jinder Mahaal looked ready to shoot while Heath was in the background just cheesing. Overall, it's clear she's only there for this show. She gets all the stereotypical reality shit and the show pretty much exposed she can't do anything on actual WWE shows.
Naomi: Still bae. Fuck Jimmy Uso. Shame poor girl still hasn't gotten that title run.
I also appreciate the editing involved in making it look like people cared about the Divas division in 2012-2014. So weird to hearing people cheering knowing how deadly quiet the crowds really were.
To me, I think the Bellas thing is just a work if only because I've seen enough stuff of them with fans or heard stories that they seem like cool enough people. Although Brie and Daniel both give me the vibe they are legitimately insane ecosystem people. I find it depressingly hilarious on the long-term storyline of Nikki Bella's desperation for marriage and a child.
Also this is probably a bit of a shoot but Bryan definitely gives me the vibe he can be a huge asshole in real life.
Cameron's boyfriend I have seen people say he looks like the main character from Despicable Me and I can't unsee it. But he eventually just stops appearing since I guess they broke up.
I find Eva sort of weirdly likable so long as they don't touch much on the wrestling aspect of her life. Jonathon has been a favorite ever since this one scene where he has like a giant-ass chicken on his plate to eat.
JIMMY IS THE BEST PART OF THE SHOW! Him asking about Nattie's cat is a top five moment. Naomi is probably the only really likable one of the main Divas because she avoids the drama.
If you look closely they sometimes try selling stuff like Main Event and Superstars matches as if they were on Raw.
