    Her relationship with Jamie Noble was literally one of the best things about Smackdown at the time, and that's saying something cause Smackdown at the time was basically "must see TV" so there were lots of great things, but Jamie Noble and Nidia were definitely the show stealers.

    I remember really liking Nidia's Smackdown run. She had a lot of poise and confidence for a rookie and her character stuff with Jamie Noble was always entertaining. I thought her selling when she got blinded by Tajiri was really great too. She suffered from having to face Torrie so much. Torrie was very limited in the ring and absolutely not the person I'd have had Nidia work with if I wanted Nidia to develop.

  • @TrolledBy

    Nidia looked actually really good in the ring. 2 matches in and she was very crisp and confident. The mistake WWE made is putting her against Torrie. No one looks good with Torrie, especially when she keeps winning in 2 minutes. No one develops any skills in those kinda matches.

    For those who wondered why Torrie got in the HoF a few years back, THIS was why, she was all over the Smackdown brand from 02-05 as much as Trish and Stacy were on Raw.

    Back in the early 2000s, Raw had the Women's Championship exclusively and Smackdown had the Cruiserweight Championship exclusively. To this day, I don't understand why any women were on Smackdown unless they were a valet because if they wrestle, what are they fighting for?

    Paul Heyman's bitterness to Nidia drafted to Monday night RAW was hilarious. He congratulated her, but added hopes for her never going blind again. Apparently Nidia was in contention for women's titles they had championship name plates done up and she refused. Torrie Wilson mentioned this and how they travelled together. This one was a fun presence for so little years she wrassled.

    She had a couple of good matches (it was the same choreographed match) vs Gail, I think one was on heat or velocity, and the other must{ve been a dark match, but the video is up on youtube, From rumours I've read, she was supposed to get a title push and that's why the drafted her to RAW, since the serious women competitors were there, but she didn't like being on RAW and apparently requested her release.

    It was around the time when Torrie and Sable did Playboy so she had to be on Tv no matter what (a.k.a not having a women's division on SD) and Nidia was her fodder (because despite being green she was good enough to carry her through a match).
    Unfortunately at the time Raw and SD were very separated shows so Nidia didn't carry her gimmick with her when she changed show she reverted being bland when women's spots in WWE were few and fulfilled (Gail Kim didn't find a way to breakthrough, Nidia had no chances).
