The acting in these segments is godawful. But at the same time, because they're so cheesy and corny, they work! This week, Ace Austin hired an attractive woman to pretend that she was having an affair with Eddie Edwards so that Alicia Edwards would fall for him instead. Some may claim that stuff like this does not belong on a professional wrestling show, but what's fun is fun.
Alicia Edwards is not really Taya Valkyrie in the ring and so this is a great role for her. It allows her to get over to a point where she can actually go on to become someone that the crowd can connect with. It also gives Ace Austin the chance to branch out as someone beyond your typical X-Division guy.
Austin is, by far, the best actor in these skits. Eddie Edwards may be great in the ring, but he's definitely not an actor at all.
