Ironically, the most notable Diva not involved in this Sunday’s Surivor Series pay per view is the Diva contribution to WWE.com’s new ‘dream Survivor Series teams’ article. Pretty simple: the Superstars and Divas pick the four stars they’d pick to be on their team in a traditional Survivor Series elimination match.
Third-gen Diva Natalya unsurprisingly picks Diva legends such as Trish Stratus and Sensational Sherri but also opts for current Diva, Beth Phoenix and rounds it off with Japanese legend, Manami Toyota. Explaining to WWE.com her selections, Natalya says:
“I’d pick Trish Stratus,” Natalya said, favoring a fellow Canadian Diva. “I think that she brings everything to the ring as far as strength, beauty, power, grace and poise. And I’d pick the person I respect the most as far as females today — Beth Phoenix.”
With two strong, modern-era Divas on her side, Natalya added a WWE Hall of Famer to the mix. “Then I’d pick Sensational Sherri, because she has so much charimsa, so much energy. Plus, she has a couple of extra things up her sleeve.”
“And I’d pick Manami Toyota,” Natalya said, showing respect for the legendary Japanese star. “She’s one of the greatest female wrestlers of our time. I think she’d bring a worldy skill to the team and we could get a different flavor of ice cream.”
A fun little game, no? Which leads us into… Who would be on your Survivor Series dream team?
It’s a hard one but I think I’d go with Trish, Lita, Mickie, Melina and Gail Kim.

My dream team –
1.Lita as she is my fave all time diva
2.Trish
3.Natalya (current fave Diva)
4.Mickie James
5.Melina
(Back-ups – Maryse , Beth , Gail )
I would also love to see a dream team off 3rd Genartion divas – Natayla (as leader) along with Amy Henning and (even tho she is TNA and Cant wrestle ) Lacey Von Erich, along with two other 3rd female wrestlers, i mean come on , that team would be unstopable!
at 9:10 pm
If I could pick anyone, I’d choose Cheerleader Melissa, Sara Del Rey, MsChif, Nattie Neidhart, and Lacey (NOT Lacey Von Erich, the original Lacey… the one that can actually wrestle).

Manami Toyota?! AHH Nattie, I have so much love for you! I would probably put her in my dream team too, she’s amazing.
Trish Stratus & Molly Holly would have to be on my list, they’re two of our generations best female wrestlers to walk through WWE’s door.Then I’d have to have Sara Del Rey the best female wrestler in the usa at the moment (imo), then I would probably put in Sherri & Manami Toyota like Nattie. She has an epic list.
at 9:29 pm
if it was purely wwe/f associated women, it’d have to be aja kong, alundra blayze, ivory, bull nakano and molly holly.
at 9:32 pm
Mine would be ….
Dream Team:
Lita, Victoria, Gail Kim, Chyna & Maryse/Eve
Dream opponents:
Trish, Michelle, Angelina Love, Velvet Sky & Jillian
at 10:09 pm
Thtas such a hard one!!
Trish, Lita, Molly, Luna and Victoria
But if somehow one of them gets injured i’d have Sable, Stacey Keibler, Melina, Michelle McCool, Beth Phoenix, Gail Kim, Jacqueline, Ivory, Torrie Wilson and Chyna on reserve! With Mae Young as Cheerleader being helped to ringside by Maryse, Eve, Alicia and The Kat

Just thought off another Dream Team or should i say match. Have Team Canada vs Team USA.
TEAM CANADA – Trish (Captain of course) with Natalya , Marsye , Gail Kim and Rosa Mendes (YES SHE IS CANADAIN).
TEAM USA – Lita (as captian , just like long time rival Trish) with Mickie James , Beth Phoniex , Michelle McCool and Melina.
Okay the Canadian Divas would get riped if the PPV came from the US and vise – versea if from Canada. But i think it would be very cool to see.
at 10:36 pm
okay i think:
Gail Kim Trish Stratus Lita Victoria Angelina Love
Gail cuz shes my fave
Trish probably as a heel cuz shes a great heel and Lita and her could have some tag issues
Lita as a face and the thing with Trish
Victoria probably as psycho Victoria cuz i loved that gimmick
Angelina as a heel (or tweener)
for current divas ot be
Gail, Melina, Maryse, Mickie, Natalya
Gail same reason and as a tweener to set up stuff with Melina
Melina as a face or heel (depending on what Mickie is)
Maryse as her current gimmic
Mickie as psycho Mickie or 07 Mickie (Depending on what Melina is)
Natalya as a heel
:D
at 10:38 pm
Trish, Mickie, Melina, Sable and Lita!
at 10:46 pm
My dreamteam is: Mschif + Cheerleader Melissa + Sara del Ray + Serena Deeb + Daizee Haze, probably the 5 best female wrestlers in north america right now.
But if we stick to just WWE i’d go for:
- Jacqueline: while Sable/Sunny/Teri got the spotlight, it was Jacqueline/Luna that brought the wrestling to WW(F/E).
- Molly Holly: probably the best wrestler of the golden diva era
- Trish Stratus: not the best wrestler, but she has been a big influence on modern female wrestling.
- Bull Nakano: Just to have 1 pre-diva era “diva” on the team.
- Beth Phoenix: Just to have 1 of the current roster divas on the team.

Ugh. Natalya just stole my heart. I bet the likes of Rosa Mendes, the Bella Twins and Kelly Kelly haven’t even heard of the great Manami Toyota. I see shades of Toyota in wrestlers like Gail Kim and especially Melina today — women who have that ability to get you to emotionally invest in matches. I urge people if they haven’t already to seek out her epic battles with Aja Kong. They both make wrestling look like a thing of pure (brutal) beauty.
My ultimate Survivor Series team? Off the top of my head, I’d go with a classic heels vs. faces and here would be my rundown:
Gail Kim, Tara/Victoria, Trish Stratus, Lita & Melina vs. Awesome Kong, Molly Holly, Alissa Flash, Beth Phoenix & Natalya.
Really there are so many amazing possibilities I could be here forever trying to decide. Mind you, I think TNA could easily benefit with the Survivor Series format, providing the Beautiful People were kept to a minimum. Imagine Awesome Kong, Alissa Flash, Daffney and the Beautiful People (say Angelina Love and Velvet Sky) up against Tara, ODB, Taylorita and Hamada. Could be fun viewing. The last elimination tag match the Knockouts had on Impact a few months ago was reasonably entertaining.
