Both James and fellow “Busted Open” co-host Tommy Dreamer had some qualms with Brooke’s presentation, over the last several weeks as well as throughout her WWE career as a whole. In particular, Dreamer noted that Brooke’s current entrance gives off a villainous vibe.

“You walk out there and you flex? You’re conceited,” Dreamer said. “You’re full of yourself. And I’m not saying that she is. She looks amazing. But if you’re going to be there as a babyface, you have to maybe change that, because you’re different.” James then suggested it was possible Brooke didn’t have anyone around her to teach her that kind of thinking when it comes to her character’s presentation.

“A lot of these stories, they don’t really tap into the emotion — it’s just about the matches,” James said. “I think in NXT, too — they are very in line with that type of audience, that loves those style matches, those five-star whatever matches. A lot of times, the emotional stuff isn’t there. … For Dana, I don’t think she has had a lot of storylines that people have sunk their teeth into and cared about.”

Later on in the show, James pointed out that she gets frustrated over the fact that the opinions of strangers on the internet can have such a big effect on a performer’s career. The former WWE star has found that many of these viewers are watching the show looking to pick it apart, rather than allowing themselves to become emotionally invested.
