5 Superstars who need help getting over

In a nutshell
 

#1 Eva Marie

Clueless in Connecticut

There is a revolution brewing, and it is brewing from the bottom.

While NXT continues to impress with its daring portraiture of women’s wrestling and veteran talent signups, the main roster continues to be a pale shadow when compared with the former.

Barring the likes of Sasha Banks, Charlotte, Paige, Natalya and, Becky Lynch, most of the roster resembles a hastily assembled mélange of wrestlers with subpar in-ring capabilities.

Even the NXT call-ups following the Draft were mostly unready to face the spotlight on Raw and Smackdown Live and WWE has been taking the beaten path towards squash matches to generate a monstrous heel in Nia Jax.

Amidst all this tumult, the last female wrestler to enter Smackdown Live and arguably, the one with the most vacuous promo, was Eva Marie.

Her botches are a rage on the internet, her in-ring knowledge and skills are abysmally low, as are her mic skills while her gimmick as the sultry Red Queen is a mark of ridicule among the Universe.

The plethora of endorsement activity that she indulges in outside the ring perhaps diminishes her character all the more. It seems nearly impossible for her to get over with the audience, especially since she is universally and quite vocally disliked.

WWE seems to have projected onto her a mix of pretend femininity and deathly sensuality, perhaps in a bid to recreate a Stacy Keibler, albeit without any of the professional nonchalance and charisma.

The exaggeration of her inadequacies by the Creative team generates enough heat to ensure a decent heel run. However, the line between hatred and indifference has been crossed by the Universe once too often.

It doesn't even seem to care enough about Eva to eventually despise her.
