Name: Kevin
Who will benefit most from Diva Trade?: Rosa, being on ECW gives her more time to spend at FCW
What should Maryse do upon her return?: I would put her into a non title fued againsed Eve or Kelly
Is WWE right in picking Eve as the future of Divas?: Yes no Diva has improved as much as Eve has in the space of time she has been in WWE
Question for Steven (delete as applicable): Which Shimmer worker do you think will fit into the Diva mould best.
Name: Pedro Pedroso
Who will benefit most from Diva Trade?: I think Beth and Mickie will both benefit, their characters need to be “uploaded” and they were both getting quite boring on RAW.
Thoughts on Knockouts in Muscle & Fitness: I was unimpressed to be honest, it seemed rushed and dead.
What should Maryse do upon her return?: I think she should return as a valet for The Miz, now that he’s a champion, it’d make sense.
Is WWE right in picking Eve as the future of Divas?: I think WWE should pay more attention to girls like Alicia and Natalya, those are the ones that should be top divas in the future, not Eve.
Question for Melanie: Did you watch Lena Yadas first match? What were your thoughts on her in-ring work with Christina Von Eerie?
Name: Daniel
Who will benefit most from Diva Trade?: Melina. She gets to be on the top of the brand when she should have been on Smackdown.
Thoughts on Knockouts in Muscle & Fitness: Velvet & Val were pretty dull to be honest. Lauren looked great.
What should Maryse do upon her return?: I think she should step back and allow the talented heel divas to take over as the main heels. She needs to get better
Is WWE right in picking Eve as the future of Divas?: Yes and No. She is defently a diva to watch out but then again Maryse was also said the same at the beggining of the year and look what happaned to her.
Question for Melanie/Erin/Steven/Tiffany (delete as applicable): Do you think that The Beautiful People have got worse with Angelina Love’s depature?
Name: Tom
Who will benefit most from Diva Trade?: Either Melina or Mickie. For Melina, it’s back on the flag ship brand and has more to offer & for Mickie, it’s a fresh start
Thoughts on Knockouts in Muscle & Fitness: 2 words.. I would ;)
What should Maryse do upon her return?: To keep her from being injury prone, have her in backstage segments with the mix & be his valet.
Is WWE right in picking Eve as the future of Divas?: Yes, she has improved in the ring, but she needs to work on her charisma.
Question for Melanie/Erin/Steven/Tiffany (delete as applicable): Who do you think should of been traded that wasn’t?
Name: Melissa
Who will benefit most from the Diva Trade?: Probably the Bella twins seeing as they’ll be on screen A LOT more than on ECW, however I think this could be the fresh start Mickie needs.
Thoughts on Knockouts in Muscle & Fitness: Haha, I’m a straight female, but I would!
What should Maryse do upon her return?: If she can’t get back in the ring straight away, have a mini-feud brewing with Eve, and get involved in some backstage segments with The Miz.
Is WWE right in picking Eve as the future of Divas?: Yes. The fans seem to like her and she’s improved in the ring. She still has a long way to go, but that’s why she’s the FUTURE.
Name: Rhys Hakins
Who will benefit most from Diva Trade?: It’s a three way of Mickie/Beth/Eve for me. Mickie and Beth because they are in a new show and they can get a fresh start, improve their characters and use more moves in their future fueds with who ever. And Eve because she was improving greatly on SmackDown and will have a chance to see how well she can do on live TV.
Thoughts on Knockouts in Muscle & Fitness: I never saw it so I couldn’t really say.
What should Maryse do upon her return?: Like your article has stated, she should fued with Eve so both her and Eve can get some exposer from the crowds.
Is WWE right in picking Eve as the future of Divas?: Like I said I say she could be one of the few future stars in the womans division, along with Alicia and possibly Layla as well. If all three continue to train hard then I’m sure they willdo wonders fr the womans division’s future.
Name: Evan
Who will benefit most from Diva Trade?:
Michelle Mccool.. i think she’ll win more matches against Beth & Mickie then they’ll win against her.
Thoughts on Knockouts in Muscle & Fitness:
It was nice but why were Val and Lauren featured? did muscle & fitness run out of money?
What should Maryse do upon her return?:
She can do whatever she wants as long as Jillian’s the top heel
Is WWE right in picking Eve as the future of Divas?:
She stands out I guess but I don’t think she’ll ever be on the Mickie / Melina level
Name: Brandon
Who will benefit most from Diva Trade?: Melina, because WWE now see’s her as a leader with good work ethic, and can work well with most of the Raw Divas, like Jillian, Alicia, and even Gail.
What should Maryse do upon her return?: Stay away from the Divas title and do more backstage segments, because unless she improves in the ring, I don’t want see her hog the spotlight for other girls.
Is WWE right in picking Eve as the future of Divas?: I’m 50/50 with this one, because I do see that work ethic Eve has and has great potential, but I think they’re other girls who should be considered the “future of the women’s division” than just Eve alone, like Alicia, Savannah, and Natalya.
Questions for Averyone:
1.) Other than Katie Lea, Natalya, and Beth, which WWE divas will you love to see in SHIMMER and why?
2.) After looking back at Smackdown’s Decade episode, do you see a facial comparison between Michelle McCool and Lady GaGa?
Name: Glen
Who will benefit most from Diva Trade?: I think it was great, Im still wondering why everyone is so upset.
Thoughts on Knockouts in Muscle & Fitness:
What should Maryse do upon her return?: I cant wait, I think she is a great heel and will add spice to the raw division
Is WWE right in picking Eve as the future of Divas?: Best news Ive heard, she does great with promos and is imporving everyday.
Question for Melanie: You have said your a big fan of Alicia, does it make you upset that Eve seems to be the one on track to be top Diva?
Name: Dale
Who will benefit most from Diva Trade?: the fans
Thoughts on Knockouts in Muscle & Fitness: awesome
What should Maryse do upon her return?: rebuild her self with melina and jillian and regain her space on top of the raw diva’s division.
Is WWE right in picking Eve as the future of Divas? I have not seen Eve really do anything impressive yet that sets her aside from the rest of the diva search girls.
Question for Melanie/Erin/Steven/Tiffany (delete as applicable): If you could have any Diva/Knockout match happen what would it be? My dream match would be Kong and Hamada vs Natalya and Beth Phoenix.
Name: Jonathan
Who will benefit most from Diva Trade?:
Eve Torres= She got great reactions at SD no doubt she will be great at Raw!
Thoughts on Knockouts in Muscle & Fitness:
Not to offend anyone but Knockouts should leave the Modeling to WWE and stay with the wrestling.
What should Maryse do upon her return?:
Not get a immediate push…Just because of her character she should not be at the top..Last time she return from a injury she came back with 3 moves..I wonder how many she have left this time.
Is WWE right in picking Eve as the future of Divas?:
Is very weird that a divas search winner will be at the top of WWE for the fisrt time, right now one doesn’t need to wrestle to be in top of WWE you just need the fans to love you. Alicia would be a great future Diva but I dont see any great reaction(As eve is receiving) from the fans in Tv or out.
Question for Melanie/Erin/Steven/Tiffany (delete as applicable):
Can you give me a analysis on all the divas :
Who should be face or heel?
Who do you see leaving next?
Who should be Champ?
Who should get a push?
Name: Christopher
Who will benefit most from Diva Trade?: I think the fans themselves will benefit because of the possible new scenarios that could come out of this trade.
Thoughts on Knockouts in Muscle & Fitness: I think this is another great way for TNA to get publicity, but with the women they chose, I think they come across more Diva than Knockout, if that makes any sense.
What should Maryse do upon her return?: She should (believe it or not) have segments with Alicia Fox, since I think both would benefit and become GREAT heels for the Raw division.
Is WWE right in picking Eve as the future of Divas?: Assuming it’s all true and they don’t drop the ball, then I do think they are making the right decision in molding Eve as the future of the WWE Divas, whether some people like it or not.
Question for Melanie/Erin/Steven/Tiffany (ANYONE can answer this question): With Alicia being one of the top favorites on the internet (especially on Diva Dirt) and Eve somewhat building her fan base with the FANS at the shows, do you think we are witnessing another Trish/Lita feud in the works (by that, I mean Trish is a good performer, yet hardcore Lita fans “won’t see the light”, and vice versa with hardcore Trish fans). I’m somewhat seeing the battle lines being drawn already, ESPECIALLY on this site.
Who will benefit most from Diva Trade?: Melina because whether fans like it or not RAW is still the A so and the big stage for divas and since she is on RAW Melina is the top star. Jillian she may get the spotlight she rightfully earned, Gail Kim possibly won’t be overshadowed as much and will get her chance to be the number 2 baby face.
Thoughts on Knockouts in Muscle & Fitness: Didn’t see i will get the magazine eventually but i think Muscle and Fitness is better stepping stone for Knockouts to get publicity more so than playboy which is a failing company and a magazine that fans don’t care for anymore
What should Maryse do upon her return?: Work her way up and wrestle against girls like Kelly Kelly to build up her heel status more that being thrused in the spotlight to feud with the number one diva on RAW Melina
Is WWE right in picking Eve as the future of Divas? Natalya and Alicia are the future and a vital substance for the company but Eve i think can be the Latina Trish Stratus because of the fact she is basically WWE’s development girl and she is learning her craft on the road instead of going to these developments
Question for Erin and Melanie
Do you think Vince moved Mickie and Beth to SD to keep them out the way for Vince the build new blood for his divas
Question for Tiffany
What does it take for the TNA Knockouts to go back to being main eventers like back in 2007 they have better talent now than ever before what do you think TNA should do to take advantage of the new talent.
Question for Steven
Which WWE diva do you think can do well wrestling in Japan (except for Natalya because she wrestled in Japan)
Question for Anyone
What divas and Knockouts would you like to see pose front cover for Muscle and Fitness
Question for Anyone
How would rate Michelle McCool so far as woman’s champion? With Mickie and Beth the top divas being on SD do you think the division on SD won’t be as Michelle McCool dominated as it has been for the past three years
Name:Chris
Who will benefit most from Diva Trade?:Jillian,because she is now going to finally get her rightful spot as top divas heel.
Thoughts on Knockouts in Muscle & Fitness:Meh,I could’ve gone without Val and Lauren.
What should Maryse do upon her return?:Backstage segments with Eve and train,train,train.
Is WWE right in picking Eve as the future of Divas?:I’m not sure just yet,but Natalya,Alicia,Serena,and SavAngela definitely ave my vote.
Question for Melanie/Erin/Steven/Tiffany (delete as applicable):What do you guys do and go through behind the scenes that we fans don’t acknowledge or take notice to?
Name: Christina
Who will benefit most from Diva Trade?: Melina and the fans. Melina, because she’s the top diva on Raw and she get to help other girls and make them look gold in the ring like she did with Layla. The fans becuase it can be something different we haven’t see in a long time with Mickie on Smackdown and Jillian getting a push.
Thoughts on Knockouts in Muscle & Fitness: _It is what it is. It is good for TNA to get more notice.
What should Maryse do upon her return?: Valet The Miz and have backstage segments with Alicia Fox, Jillian and Eve.
Is WWE right in picking Eve as the future of Divas?: Yes and No. I don’t think she should be called the future on her own they should be looking at Alicia as well. Alicia is the youngest when Eve is like 25 or 26 so, I think they should be looking at the youngest diva(Not K2) and someone who can carried a match like Alicia can. But I think the future would be Michelle McCool, Alicia Fox, Mia Mancini, Angela, and Eve. But WWE should not be looking at Eve and just only Eve. Just look at what happen with Maryse for a example.
Question for Melanie/Erin/Steven/Tiffany (ANYONE can answer this): Since on RAW they are having a feud between Jillian and Melina. Maybe it would be feud between Maryse and Eve with backstage segments and the Bella Twins with the guest hosts. Do you think a Gail Kim and Alicia feud can happen as well? The two work so well together and the last match they had at the end the fans got into it.
Name: Cyndi
Who will benefit most from Diva Trade?: seeing how their building her as Trish Stratus 2.0 im going to say Melina cause look at it she kinda has the same momentum as Trish.
Is WWE right in picking Eve as the future of Divas?: im kinda iffy i love Eve but we saw what happen with Candice and where is she now?
Question for Melanie/Erin/Steven/Tiffany (delete as applicable):Tiffany do you think Madison should be dropped from TBP and venture on her own?
