"Oh, not Velvet Sky again! If not Velvet Sky, it will be Taeler Hendrix! If not Taeler it will be Ivelisse! Why you are pushing these women all the time? WWE don't and didn't want them!"
Really?!
Yeah, for the old WWE, those ones where the women who were just a slice of "fresh meat" and it didn't want them. Maybe they are not competitive for today's WWE or are too independent for its programs! Who knows?
Compared to Ivelisse and Awesome Kong, Velvet looks like a reminder of the Divas Search era! Actually, she was a part of WWE Divas Search 2007 but didn't make it to the final eight. She also had several appearances in 2005-2006. She competed against Victoria on HEAT, using her Talia Madison gimmick. They decided not to hire her.
Velvet Sky made a legacy in Impact Wrestling. Her accomplishments couldn't be denied. The Beautiful People are one of the most memorable tag teams. She had fought the likes of Gail Kim, Madison Rayne, Awesome Kong, etc. She had traveled the world and she had built a legacy in the independent scene.
Actually, for me, this young lady is really talented and well established, technical, and not afraid of a challenge. I think for her it will be great to have a run with WWE and NXT. WWE needs to prove that they are treating equally both former TNA/Impact Wrestling Legends -men and women! When I see this happening I will be one step closer to agree that they are working on equity really seriously!
Velvet Sky is respectful and known for her professionalism in the ring. Her characters may be a little bit old-school bombshells who turn into a warrior, but this is what suits her well. She can't be a nun or Amazonian- princess. She is the typical Glamour looking girl, who can fool you and then nailed you with a DDT. WWE is unexplored territory for her and she dreams to be in there. She is someone who can contribute as heel or face because she can easily switch characters. Something really valuable for WWE. Her wrestling skills are already developed and she will need some work to get used to the WWE Performance Center way of working things!
Velvet Sky is one of my favorite wrestlers and characters, because she that kind of woman, like Trish, who started their career as beauties and reached the status of ultimate wrestling legendary warriors! So WWE, give the girl a chance and don't screw her via bad booking!
