Jessie Mckay has wrestled for Shimmer in the past so maybe she isn't far off.
Also she's smoking hot!! She's got the 'WWE look'.

Well I called it haha!

Ok so lets run down the Aussies in the WWE and evaluate how they're going...

Buddy Murphy - Won The NXT Tag titles with Blake...Doesn't seem close to a move to the main roster!

Emma - Started well in NXT, then made her main roster debut but found herself lost in the pack! Got sent back to NXT, turned heel but still isn't in the WWE Divas or NXT Women's Championship picture.

Jessie Mckay - Can't read too much into her WWE career since she has pretty much recently started in NXT. I can see her surpassing Emma and becoming the first ever Aussie NXT Women's champion and WWE Divas champion! Her name was changed to Billie Kay last month!

KC Cassidy - Same as Jessie McKay, you can't read too much into her WWE career either! Her name was changed as well last month to Peyton Royce. Really shitty name IMO. She could also have a good career as well. She has the look! Her wrestling skills aren't as good as Jessie, but she's still above average!

Aussies always feel awkward when they talk on wrestling shows.

Murphy isn't six foot 7 or a Hispanic flipping machine. I reckon he still gets the most out of himself. Would VERY MUCH prefer him safe on NXT than in a potential trainwreck on the main show.

I hope he goes on a singles run soon! I'm also pissed off how they didn't give him split personality gimmick that he had before he started on NXT TV!

It's weird that the accent sounds so strange, yet it's our accent...

It's just so out of place . I think cause there is a lot of overemphasis on words in wrestling promos and a lot of enunciation, it's where the Aussie accent just sounds weird as s**t.

It really does. Like you hear an Aussie in a show full of Americans and it just sounds so weird and out of place on it!

 

[TradeDraft]

It wouldn't work, as we don't have a rivalry with the US in the same way Canadians do.

What about a Aus vs UK thing in WWE?

 

[TradeDraft]

At first I was angry and then I marked out!! Holy s**t!! I thought they were going to their 'Aussie Stereotype', glad they didn't!!

WWE Took down Video

how does that appeal to Americans?

Ogling at the aliens who speak English?

Yep and I can't find it anywhere now! In the promo he referenced about "Going home and murdering his kids" which sounds bad in itself, but then adding what happened with the Chris Benoit situation and you understand why WWE doesn't want that video to be available to the public!

 

[HurricaneHazza]

Heard a rumour Brisbane Broncos player Daniel Vidot might be joining the WWE sooner rather than later too... and the rumour comes from the man himself haha

there's a torrent just re-released on XWT with those NXT promo skills videos, so I guess one of the Buddy Murphy promos might be that one?

I hear Evie and Shazza Mckenzie both made NXT debuts this past week?

I don't know what their NXT names were but have seen them both in shows here before. Evie is an awesome talent, but she's actually a kiwi.

So proud of these guys. Having first seen them (and others) 10 years ago, TMDK changed my perspective on what Australian wrestling could be.

Obviously they've still got a long way to go to convince the rest of the world, but this is fantastic news.



Edit: just saw the NXT thread.

Remember Shane Haste wrestling in EPW. Saw that yesterday and thought "* name sounds familiar" since im not hugely into wrestling anymore, Good to see he's got his foot in the door in the biggest company in the world

What percentage of the roster is Australian now. It would be getting to a nice level.

Murphy, Emma, Peyton, Billie, Shane, Mikey. Solid.
