    I cant believe that Kelly Kelly won!!!
    That was embarrassing for Gail.

    Gail Kim should not have to job to divas like Kelly Kelly

    Kelly Kelly has bothered me from the beginning, and she quite possibly always will. Thank god I can’t actually watch this match.

    How was that embarrassing for Gail? They had a nice back and forth match with many near falls. Its not like Kelly wiped the mat with her. Gail has had worse outings against better.

    I’m guessing they find it embarrassing for Gail, because she’s clearly the better wrestler. I myself don’t find it so much ebarrassing as frustrating. Gail is a good talent and she’s likeable. Neither of which I see Kelly as. For myself, I guess its just first impression, last impression. Has Kelly gotten better? Sure, but its frustrating to see her go over someone who’s better. Id rather see Gail win, then watch Kelly get yet another push.

    I think everybody is just blowing this out of porportion. They were just getting Kelly Kelly over in her hometown – in any other situation, I’m sure GK would have won.

    But K2 got a nice reaction from the crowd. Gail had a lot of bumps to the head…worried me a little, but it seems like she’s alright.

    What push? Kelly has been given one legit title match and it took her three years to get to that point. And it was only for the Divas title at that. Gail got an opportunity for the Divas title and choked on it. Its kind of sad that such a revolutionary wrestler can be outdone by two rookies.

    Also, the match was put on Superstars, so it’s not like it was the Diva quota for Raw.

    Yet this match was better than the Divas title match on RAW. Another example of the sad state WWE’s women’s division is in.

  • B_Fizzle
    October 23, 2009 at 3:04 am

    Well that match was underwhelming.

  • ImGoingCrazy

    A push to me, isn’t defined by a title being involved. To say Kelly hasn’t been used multiple times in some form of s/l even if just pigeon holed into an existing s/l is false.

    Has Gail has a sloppy match here or there? Yes. But to say she choked on her title chance I don’t really agree with that.

    I’m unsure however, why you seem hostle, i wasn’t trying to start an argument and I actually tried to explain my reason without slamming your opinion nor slamming Kelly that hard. But, it is infact just opinion.

    You don’t see an issue with Kelly going over Gail, I don’t have an issue either I did however say I found it frustrating to watch Gail get jobbed and she was jobbed. It doesn’t matter if this is superstars or the fact that Kelly is the hometown girl, if anything that proves it was a job. Gails only purpose in that match was to lose. As someone, sorry don’t remember who, pointed out in the spoiler post. Gail and Kelly were face buddies one week and a few days later in a random match. Job Match. Simple as.

    As for it being Superstars and not Raw I don’t think that matters either. Should someone be more outraged had this happened on Raw and not Superstars?

    Giving credit where credit is due, that was a nice match. Kelly Kelly and Gail worked well with each other and I know it must’ve felt good for her to know her mother and (sister?) and extended family was watching. I’m not apart of her family but I can imagine what my mom would’ve said if I told her I wanted her to be a wrestler. She wouldn’t have been proud, but probably would’ve grown to understand it, than supported me through it. Kelly’s mom seemed proud and that’s pretty cool.

    Now the Gail Kim gimmick project begins. Or at least I hope it does.

    kelly should be fired,she’s just eye candy and always will be,no one will ever taker her seriously,let her do all the cartwheels she wants but she will never be better then gail,kelly beating her was a disgrace

    If you find my post hostile I’m afraid you’re looking a little too far into it. I don’t believe I’ve stepped out of line or insulted you or your opinion in any way, merely expressing my own disagreement with some peoples views with my own opinion. That’s what the comments are for after all, right?

    As for my comment about the match taking place on Superstars, I was simply stating that I find it kind of sad that Gail and Kelly are given more time on the least important show in WWE programming than the Divas champion and the #1 contender are given on RAW.

    Ok I really think Gail must of pissed someone off in the back!!

    I don’t buy that Kelly being in her hometown makes her deserve the win – On Raw not too long ago, Gail lost in her hometown of Toronto to Alicia Fox!

    I really dont get why WWE “bought” Gail back from TNA only to use her so badly

  • Christie

    lol I think some people take pro wrestling WAY too seriously…

    It was a pretty good match, it was one of Kelly’s best matches (imo) and I’m sure having her family their really motivated her.

  • ImGoingCrazy
    October 23, 2009 at 3:23 am

    I found your last comment to be hostel and sarcastic, i didn’t feel insulted. However, that’s the problem with reading something. Everyone can take the same thing a different way.

    I have no problem with someone having a different opinion then me, and I don’t mind it having a debate so long as its done in an adult sense.

    As for Kelly and Gail getting more time on the least important show, I agree. It’s silly, I take it at the ever present undying love that Vince seems to have for Kelly Kelly.

  • B_Fizzle
    October 23, 2009 at 3:27 am

    If Vince loving Kelly means longer, back and forth matches with more moves allowed I say throw the Divas Championship on her and let the fun begin.

  • ImGoingCrazy
    October 23, 2009 at 3:30 am

    Id turn the channel anytime she popped up if that happened XD. I mentioned earlier, I haven’t liked Kelly since the beginning, my first impression of her was sour and while I know she’s improved I just don’t find her likeable.

  • RKOyou
    October 23, 2009 at 3:33 am

    why didn’t they feed alicia fox to kelly,I can see why WWE didn’t do that since alicia just came out of a title program but still,kelly beating gail is just beyond ridiculous,I know she won because she’s in her hometown but kelly having a win over gail just leaves a sour taste in my mouth

    Gail must be really missing TNA right now,i hope the money was worth it,she maybe in front of a bigger crowd but whats the point when your getting jobbed out to a barbie doll

    I don’t understand why WWE wanted Gail back either. Since her return she seems to slowly get lost within the other diva’s. Does it not seem wierd that Gail beat Kong in TNA yet looses to Alicia Fox and Kelly Kelly?

  • xxChristinaxx

    Kelly Kelly still suck yes this match was her best yet. But that not saying much when she botch another move in this match.

  • xxChristinaxx

    I think Gail is in WWE to put over younger girls. But I hope Gail get another push because Gail and Melina can save the RAW divas.

  • DniLChan

    Seeing that Gail is one of the best female wrestlers in the WWE, I was disappointed she lost to Kelly2. But hey, its not like she lost to Rosa rite? I agree with some of the comments here. From the moment I heard Gail was resigning with WWE, I knew they won’t use her right the 2nd time around. And I guess she knew about this as well. WWE hates women who can actually wrestle! Datz just WWE! Its not a place for womens wrestling.

  • B_Fizzle

    I have two theories behind Gail being signed. One being that she was Vince’s flavor of the month upon being brought over only for him to be over her by the time her debut came around. The second being that she was signed for that very reason, she beat Kong in TNA and was their top Knockout. He brought her back to have her be just another Diva and wipe his ass with her TNA career.

    Please stop cryin over a match, kelly and gail did great!! Even if gail won, its still a match! + i think it was a good match that we’ve seen the raw divas do. gail’s time will come soon, just be pateint. I think gail brings out the good in kelly, and i think they should start a feud! maybe kelly or gail will win it randomly in a battle royal and they start a feud? i think that would be great!! && the BOTCH kelly did, haha it wasnt just her fault, i blame gail for it too.

  • C-Rez
    October 23, 2009 at 3:51 am

    lol i know its scripted but how do you recover from going thru that kinda wood to be Alissa Flash and get beat again?

    i hate watching Lacey trying and yes i said trying to be a wrestler are the lights on up stair or is this Von Erich Delusional ?

    Kelly Kelly is Ok she subpar to Candice Circa 2007

    Gail Kim isn’t going to get the silver spoon like she did in TNA

    and i wonder if Kong is going speak more its funny how she’s trying to sound like a beast lol and i want to see they bf that she stood up for lol

    and with no more MEM what’s going to happen to Traci?

    and how many times are they going to do Taylorita vs TBP they need to import maybe Madison Eagles and Jessi Mckay or Maybe The Canadian Ninjas Nicole Matthews and Portia Perez just bring in tag teams to compete cause you can’t keep on doing the same tag team over and over again

    I would actually like to give Lacey Von Erich kudos for remembering that this is wrestling and incorporating some forearms into that food fight.

    Ugh. The reason why this bothers me so much is because the favouritism for Kelly Kelly is so blatant. Anyone who considers themselves a true wrestling fan can discern that Gail Kim is clearly the better wrestler. And how many other Divas have been made to lose in their hometowns, regardless of the stakes? I yearn to see Gail Kim being used the way TNA used her, but that’s not going to happen unless she opens a bottle of peroxide.

    As for the match, I’ll concede that it was above average compared to anything that’s been on RAW for the past few weeks. But Kelly Kelly’s still a one dimensional performer. She hits spots, never sells them. Gail Kim’s moveset is far more expansive and diverse than Kelly Kelly’s, so it’s a shame.

    Aren’t you the #1 Lacey von Erich mark on this forum? Guess by your logic Lacey should be fired as well?
