But I have to be honest with you - I think your being hard on McCool the same way some are being hard on Melina. Like a lot of people, I too was skeptical about McCool. I think the reason behind that was the WWE pushed her too far too soon. A few years ago, she could barely even sell Melina's Inverted Leg-drop Bull Dog (Primal Scream or whatever it's called) or put on a decent match but, like the rest of those generic babyfaces in that company, they had her winning matches against excellent in-ring performers like Victoria. That coupled with the rumor the she has political leverage due to the Undertaker caused the ire of serious wrestling fans. Even until now, I'm still not very happy with how well they push her considering that there are more talented Divas in the roster. However, I think she has improved tremendously. Her moves are much sharper, her executions are cleaner than before and she seems to be developing a character of her own. Of course, her acting needs a lot to be desired but she has that "pompous bitch" act nailed decently, I reckon. As for the Trish Stratus comment, there are several differences. McCool, I think, is presented to be more domineering compared to Stratus. Plus her style is more brash and she tends to use more power and less grace. It takes advantage of her size whereas Trish's seems more all-around. However, there are a lot of similarities especially in the treatment given by WWE to both these women. Trish almost seemed like a sacred cow for the most part of her career. As for McCool, shades of that "sacredness" seem to be surfacing. Of course, it must be said that Trish gained a lot of respect when she allowed herself to be put through a table by 3D. That perhaps was the point wherein the company and serious fans got enamored with her. But I can't really say the same for McCool, can I? Hmmm... I respect your opinion Crying Light.

But whether you can see it or not, Trish and McCool do have a lot of parallels both in terms of style and image and the WWE does have a habit of recycling personas as well as story lines. And since Trish's character won over a lot of fans, the company seems hell bent on veering toward that same direction albeit a few changes making McCool look more "athletically superior." And yes, I agree. Trish is not that special when put side by side with the likes of MsChif, Sara Del Rey and Mariko Yoshida. Technically speaking, Molly Holly is way better than her. But when put side by side with McCool--which you told me not to do BUT I WILL DO ANYWAY BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO STOP ME--McCool pales in comparison. Sorry.

The fact that Smackdown Divas actually got the accolades they deserved? That was a huge plus. I'm a big fan of Melina and Gail but I was rooting for Michelle, Natalya and Beth. And seriously, does no one notice how whenever Melina gets in the ring it's extremely hard to look away? She's great at bringing out the best in her opponent and given the chance I think Gail could do the same. Now Natalya, I love how un-Diva-like she seems in her wrestling; it just makes her more fun to watch. That and you get the sense she could take on any wrestler (man or woman) in the locker room. Beth was great as usual and Michelle continues to impress me. It annoyed me when the WWE was shoving her down our throats at the beginning but the more I see of her actual wrestling the more I like. That and the fact that she wore that robe just tickles me. I can't help but think that she's poking fun at her haters regarding the stealing things from AJ Styles thing. I liked the match.

But don't worry. You're not alone in your plight since I too may have the same selective vision as you since I'm not very fond of MICHELLE MCCOOL. Why? Well, it's because she's a one trick pony. As a heel she's just OK. And some people, like me really feel like bagging on her persona not because she is good but primarily because I know that as a face she is nothing. She was merely given a character change because the WWE seems hell bent on protecting their pretty bl(a)nd McCool. I'm sorry, but she is not the next Trish Stratus, and there is no chance that she'll get better than Trish even if the WWE shoves her all the way down to our throat because the natural talent in women like Beth, Mickie, Melina, Gail Kim, Katie Lea and Nattie is not there. But at least she's VERY PRETTY. Oh and by the way. What was that you said? "All her moves were executed to perfection as usual with her." Lol. Which ones, the knees to the face or the way she crawled towards Natalya. The only physically straining things she did in this match was selling that sucker punch by Melina (which she did well I give you that) and selling that Hurricanrana by Gail Kim (which could not have been sold well had the--what was that you called her?--"stale" Gail failed not to make a clean rotation.) Sorry, I just don't see McCool getting where she is without the extreme push from the WWE. But maybe "that's just me." Sorry Beauty Killer but it appears to be “just you.” But don’t worry.

I thought MOST of the divas did good and all, but I was a bit let down in some aspects of the match. Michelle and Beth were perfect as always. Those two are such good workers and it's going to be great to see thier upcoming feud on SmackDown! I'm really excited about it and I'm sure that the matches between the two will be amazing. Michelle was the standout star for me. All her moves were executed to perfection as usual with her. Natalya I thought, should have had more time in the ring. She is right on par with the rest of her teamates and I felt she was treated as below everyone else invovled in the match. Such a shame really as she does deserve alot more then that. Beth Phoenix, what can I say? She did everything beautifully as always, and I have to say Blue looks so good on her. Gail, wow how the mighty have fallen. She has become so stale and boring. I can barley remeber what she did in the match. She has no personality what so ever and is just blah to me now. Hard to belive she was a top Knockout and fell to be a easily forgotten diva. Kelly Kelly, wow the crowd was really behind her! She did really well and she really is at her best when she is the underdog, as mentioned. Melina on the other hand was the 2nd worst for me (Behind Gail). I just don't see how anyone thought the match "Picked Up" when she entered. She did the same moves as she does in every single match of hers and idk if this is just me, but since coming to RAW it looks like she's lost the spark that made her special. I didn't see the old Melina. I saw no fire in her during the match whatsoever like I usually see, but maybe that's just me. I really enjoyed the match.

LOL! In general I thought it was a great match - although I would have enjoyed Mickie being involved (maybe a 4-on-4 with Alicia added to RAW) b/c its fun to hear the crowd pop for her. [Random note - the WWE CRANKED up the music when Orton came out b/c he was getting a LOT of cheers!] Whew...Beth is rolling...Smackdown is a great show...and she might get a crack at the belt soon...life is good. Oh, and she came over to the crowd of people outside the arena before the show and took pics, signed autographs, etc and most people were very impressed at how gracious she was. I must say, she looked great. ;-) I have finally woken up…seeing Beth live (in the 3rd row!) wearing that hot blue number and getting the smashing victory was too much too handle. LOL!

Overall could of been better, its just kind of lame how we could already tell the outcome just because Raw was leading 1-0 with two matches left, but thats the way the cookie crumbles when you only get 3 Raw vs Smackdown matches becasue of The HOUR long Iron Man Match. Michelle McCool did the best in my opinion( Get ride of the Robe McCool are were going to have a problem) that like the faith breaker(Styles Clash) Belongs to Tna and AJ Styles. Melina did second best for me except for the Scream in the middle of the Ring was that really necessary i think not. Beth getting the pin proves that she will get some sort of push on Smackdown and Feud with McCool for that womens title, thats a match i would pay to see. Natalya reminds me of a dude wrestler she really has no Diva fell to her, i guess thats what we should exspect from the only female wrestler to train at the Hart Dungion( You Go Girl), Gail Kim did okay sucked that the crowd really wasn't behind her, She needs to turn heel or something (Something please wwe your killing me) and last but not least scratch that not part Kelly Kelly in my opinion got the better end of the ppv she got the loudest chants and cheers from the crowd, and we ask the question why is she still a wrestler? Well we got are answer last night the wwe universe loves that chick and why wouldn't they look at that pretty face.

What's with the dissin'? I thought her entrance with the robe was funny. The way she held the championship up with her head down like that. It was cute. This match made me realize that Kelly Kelly isn't actually bad in the ring. She might not be the best with performing moves on other divas, but she can sell moves and take a beating like no other. My only problem is that I wish they would have played up more of the storyline on smackdown with Beth and Michelle. I thought for sure they were gonna get into a tiff at the end about who REALLY won the match for their team. I thought divadirt loved michelle mccool. What’s with the dissin’?
