My Thoughts On: The Divas Roster

July 10, 2008 · Leave a Comment

The WWE Diva’s Championship is going to be crowned very soon and I felt like it’s a good opportunity to look through the female rosters of all 3 brands and see which ones deserve a run at a Diva or Women’s championship…ever.

RAW:

Mickie James: Well, she is champion right now and has been in the past. She’s hot. She has decent mat skills. She’s hot. She’s very popular with the crowd as she’s probably the most recognizable active female wrestler on the planet…plus she’s freaking hot. I’ve had a crush on Alexis Laree since she was doing crazy hardcore shit in the indies and that crush lasted all the way to the peak of the female mountain. STAY

Beth Phoenix: Her looks are underrated too. Sure, she has a chin sharp enough to slice cheese but her body is proportional and she’s really good looking outside of her wrestling gear. Plus, she’s the most talented women wrestler on RAW, which helps. STAY

Jillian Hall: The only way I’d ever like John Cena as a wrestler if he walked up to Jillian Hall while she’s singing and stuck her microphone up her ass. Her flatulence has better pitch. Anyways, she’s tolerable in the ring, has a few great moves for a female wrestler: cartwheel elbow in the turnbuckle, 450 splash, and knows how to work. sadly…she must STAY.

Melina: I love Hispanics. I love crazy ass Latinas who are flexible, who scream loud and will try to kick your ass on a moment’s notice. For that love alone, I want to say a kind couple words to the guy who dated her: “Fuck you, Johnny Nitro.” She’s good in the ring and has improved greatly since she debuted. She also is really good at the face/heel element and knows how to get a reaction from both. STAY.

Candice Michelle: Injury-prone is obvious when you’re about 91 pounds in Lake Michigan but this is my hometown girl. I can’t deny her desire to improve in the ring, stay in shape, and subject herself to that shitty ass dance music she comes out to. I know her taste can’t be that bad enough to pick it. STAY

Kelly Kelly: Blonds are overrated. With that said, I’d smash Kelly Kelly’s chicken legs right off. The only problem is she’s awkward in the ring and isn’t improving fast enough to really merit her place on the roster. GO AWAY on winning gold, STAY with walking

Katie Lea Burchill: She’s a newcomer and has good sex appeal as well as a nice little snarkiness about her. I’ve heard that she’s pretty good from the Indy circuits but the adjustment to a more constricted WWE-style of wrestling is hard. I think she’ll get less green after some development but right now, it’s sadly GO AWAY.

Layla El: She’s similar to Kelly Kelly in terms of wrestling ability and hotness. Her ass does pwn all though. With that said, her potential is way above Kelly’s for one reason: her heel tendencies. There is a certain mannerism that she has in the ring that is very heel-like in its nature. That’s unusual for such a new wrestler and it seems natural. That’s something I see. For right now, it’s GO AWAY on the title, but, in time, she may be able to.

SMACKDOWN

Michelle McCool: Meh. She’s unbelievably generic to me. She’s cute, yes. She’s a good wrestler and has incorporated MMA into her move-set. (Thanks, Mark) She just is meh. She doesn’t make me go wild when she comes on the screen like Melina and Mickie does. It’s because she’s completely overshadowed by her heel counterparts, who I will get to shortly. That’s too bad. She does deserve a chance at the Diva championship based on skill alone so STAY.

Nattie Neidhart: She’s hot. She’s from a wrestling family. She’s easily the best natural diva worker on Smackdown (She flows better than Victoria, even though she’s not quite as accomplished in the WWE style yet). She’s got a catchphrase, an evil laugh, a great promo, good charisma, and can carry. She needs a long title run. Now. STAY!!

Victoria: Victoria was never the “flashy” diva. She’s cute but not drop-dead gorgeous in the likes of Maria or Kelly Kelly. However, she is not only a better wrestler than all of the women in the WWE and most of the women on TNA, but she’s also better than many of the men currently wrestling in sports entertainment. Her attention to detail is scarily rich. If you listen to her during her match, she will pull out nicknames and shout insults that really let you know that she pays attention to the business. She’s also accomplished in the ring. She needs to go to RAW and fight for the Women’s championship. STAY!

Maria: The only thing going for Maria is her hotness. That’s about it. She’s just not that good in the ring. She’s simply there for the viewing pleasure of me and most of the other 18-34 male demographic. GO AWAY!

Maryse: GO AWAY!! You look good but you are awkward and shitty in the ring. Go back to France.

Cherry: My favorite female wrestler. She’s solid in the ring once she’s with someone she doesn’t have to carry (looking at you, French bitch). She’s got a likable energy about her. She’s not a prototypical Diva wrestler and I think that appeals to fans who want something different. She also plays the face in peril nearly perfectly. I honestly think that in time, she’d be a good underdog Diva’s champion. STAY!

Eve Torres: Stick to talking and shaking your butt. GO AWAY!!

ECW

Lena Yada: Who? Oh the Asian chick on ECW . Meh. She’s better off as an announcer. GO AWAY.

So, there you have it. I believe that 10 current Diva wrestlers have the ability to become champion in the foreseeable future and I think that’s pretty strong for a division that usually gets no feuds, random ass title shots and diva tag matches and silly promos. I think the WWE is finally caring about the division and it’s exciting.
