Her matches aren't these terrible shit fests either. They're piss breaks alright. But saying they're "not watchable" is being dramatic. Other than her being green as shit, only a few months into accrual serious training, they're not awful. They're just not good. That's also not her fault.
Why do you care if they invest or waste money into training her trying to see if there's anything there? It's not your money and Vince and co have surely blown far larger sums of money on far less fruitful investments. It's not like she's making millions. Maybe she works out as a mediocre worker who garners heat. Maybe she just ends up as a valet. Or gets released never to be seen again. Nonetheless, giving it a go and seeing what's there doesn't hurt anything or anyone. Remember Maria? Didn't do jack shit of note in WWE other than posing for playboy. She's now I ROH as a valet who people have praised and acknowledge to being greatly improved. Maybe Eva Marie gets to that point. Maybe not. None of us are in a position to say it's not worth the investment. What exactly would they be investing that's so valuable it should be allocated elsewhere?
I don't see what her age has to do with anything. She doesn't look old. Doesn't sound old. If she's 35 with minimal wear and tear on her body and she still looks good who cares what her age is.
What trouble are they going through exactly? It's not like she's eating up primetime tv time every week with entire storylines and programming dedicated to her. She's put in short matches that make her look better than she is on a show that's internet exclusive.
I don't see why anyone gets so worked up about it. If she gets dumped everyone can rejoice and move on. If she improves enough to be more than passable in the ring than great, that works too. Pretending she's the worst wrestler in the history of man at this point just seems like people being over dramatic

Dude, these weren't just accidents. They were flat out 100% avoidable incidents that happened because she isn't coordinated at all. Doesn't matter who's "fault" it is, the fact of the matter is she has no business in an actual match with another person at this point in time. She should still be training on the very basics with how little she seems to be capable of. And on the topic of other wrestlers being let go for hurting people, no, they shouldn't have been. Ken Kennedy shouldn't have been let go either. The point is though that many people HAVE been let go for that reason, so why is Eva Marie so special that she gets away with it? Hell, even those guys you mentioned who weren't let go for it still ended up often times getting depushed for shit like that. Eva did it and got a free ride into personal training sessions and a major push in NXT. So I'll ask again, what makes her so special? Why is she so important that the WWE should do something they've really never done before for?
No one is saying she's the worst wrestler ever. However, she is one of the worst wrestlers ever to be put in such an amazing position, and given so many shots. It doesn't make any sense for WWE to be wasting that money. Sure, it doesn't really matter cause it's not my money, but why the hell are they doing it? You can't tell me that if you saw someone put hundreds of thousands of dollars into supping up a Pontiak Aztek you wouldn't scratch your head and wonder why. Especially when that person supping up said Aztek has some Lamborghinis, Ferraris, etc all sitting in their garage going unused. That is exactly what WWE is doing here.
Layla couldn't last past 38. Trish was gone even younger. Lita too. Divas don't get to go forever in the wrestling industry. To make it past 35 is a miracle for them. It's not right, but it's how the biz works. Women don't get the long careers men do, and Eva is already on the tail end of hers. So, yes, it DOES matter.
There just isn't any logical reason to be putting money into her. Watching WWE do that is just head scratchingly ignorant to the point that it isn't even funny. Just imagine if they put even half this effort and time into building up someone with actual promise, or promoting someone who's already at that level. That is where that money could and should be going.
