I really like Eve, but she really needs to stop going for the fancy moves and start perfecting the basics.

Side note: All four of these girls were weird to see in a match together. They don’t mesh at all.

With Eve’s offence and Alicia’s selling, anytime they’re in the ring together always provides comedy, especially in recent weeks.

And screw Jillian or Katie, Kelly is the one I’m pissed about always jobbing, she should be being built up as the top babyface since she’s the only one on Raw people care about.

See, KK get’s called a spot monkey cos the moves she often uses are all the more noticable, cos they are big, flashy and in your face. Not that that distances her from many of the women of the roster really… I don’t see any of ‘em mixing up their moveset to a huge degree, from KK to Beth and Mickie. And that’s no real fault of their’s, it’s moreso cos they’re only getting a few minutes of ring-time tops per show.

But then there’s Alicia. And in her recent matches, all I’ve seen is the same thing. Only what I see it a lot less difficult than any of her peers. They’re just as easily ticked off as KK’s moves (for example) but, maybe cos of a complete absence of flashiness, it seems to be ignored with her.

When Alicia shows me something other than the most generic heel moveset – a few kicks/strikes/slams, a rest hold or two and her finisher, then I might jump on the bandwagon. But for now, I’ll judge her on ability. Not the hype.

Also, I must say that the sunset flip out of the turnbuckle was very fluid this time unlike some of the other trys at it (Survivor Series comes to mind).

Tbh, I don’t like it when someone is over who can’t wrestle or is a mediocre wrestler; it’s indicative of what WWE women’s “wrestling” has become and I’m not sorry for how I feel. I feel that it gives the impression that it’s enough and I worry that they’ll settle for that instead of improving. The crowds remind me of people watching fireworks: they’ve seen them before but each time they act like it’s the first time. KK seems like a very nice person but watching her perform (not wrestle) I feel like I’m getting a repeat of an earlier match.

Unless I’ve been missing something, two of the few Divas allowed to develop a full personality complete with verbal parts are Maryse and Melina. RAW Divas don’t even have the materials (storylines, etc.) to be complete heels, unlike MM on Smackdown. I wouldn’t boo for Alicia Fox or Katie Lea, either, cause all the crowd knows is that they “don’t like” the face. Development of character, please, WWE!

I thought the match was okay but very sloppy from all girls. Alicia really needs to turn down the flailing and over-selling because it looks weird that she reacts that way to a basic dropkick, to a big move it’s fine

Kelly is and will always be the spot monkey of the match. Nothing more to say about her

I hope Eve does not become like kelly and sticks with the flashy moves, she needs to work on holds and basic moves

If Katie ever pins anyone, she might have hope left

Ive read on some sites (prowrestling.net) that the match was just like one of the most terrible matches they have ever seen. i didnt think it was bad at all. i found it enjoyable and refreshing and i really do hope the diva matches on superstars continue.

Kelly’s moveset is sooo restricted. I know that she hasn’t the strength to elevate somebody but there must be some moves she can learn and use cause it is ALWAYS the same and it bores me like hell.

I really like Alicia’s overselling. It looks pretty funny to me :-D

They are the heels. If you show the fans the heels are much stronger and skilled than the faces, or the heels start using spectaculair moves, then why should the fans care about the faces? They would just cheer for the heels instead. A lot of heels were forced to turn into faces like that in the past.

stchick – I’m not assuming that Eve only cares about “flipping”, I’m saying that that is what they’ve probably been focusing on in her training, and it’s not a smart thing to do. If her moves in between the fancy stuff show anything, it’s that she hasn’t been fully trained on the basics. And I didn’t “blame” her for the Michelle thing, I was only repeating what I had heard from the other wrestling news sites. And even then, there’s no conclusive truth about what happened then, because it was at an untelevised event. Believe me, I have no vendetta against these girls. I’m just giving my opinion on their performances.

Kelly was her usual spot-monkey self.

Eve always impresses me,because hse brings out new moves,which make her matches fun and interesting to watch.And even when she doesn’t use new moves she still mixes her repertoire up.Just another reason to love Eve.

Alicia,as always,was mighty Foxy,and fun to watch.I think she could’ve toned it down a whole heck of a lot more in the selling department,and I especially hate it how she flails everywhere when being hit.I also thought she should’ve executed the half-leg boston crab more correctly/aggressively.

Katie Lea was decent.I think she should’ve gotten more offense in,though.

I thought Kelly and eve where ok, there clothes lines need a bit of work though, they look quite weak,but are sold by the others to strongly. It just doesn’t look right.

ALSO, at the beggining of the match Micheal cole says that maryse will face gail kim over the next couple of weeks.
So does this mean there title match isn’t going to be next week either, and all where going to see is more backstage stuff?

Kelly’s offense was kinda blah, but the match wasn’t as bad as I thought, especially since some fans told us it was sloppy.

Btw, the outfits were all hideous, except for Eve’s, but she’s always wearing that. And I hope they’ll end the Pseudo-Goth/Emo look that Katie as. I like that look, but it isn’t flattering to her. There are many ways to look dark and mysterious without looking like you’re in a 80′s video of some Glam Rock band.

i thought the match was better than alright though. i enoyed it. it’s so refreshing to see the raw divas in more than just a 2 minute match. i’m growing to like this “superstars” spot that the raw divas seem to be getting each week but I wish they’d also get more time on raw

Forget the veiled shots at kelly what about Eve? So you just assume that all she cares about is flipping, rrrrrrrrrright, the trainers might but that first match she had with Michelle, I saw a little more than just flips, if any she did do. Well it’s no surprise since I was listening while back and right after the Maryse match and you bascially blamed Eve for Michelle’s injury which was her losing her own damn balance lol! I suppose she is getting punished in some way for that. I dont’ know why KK is that popular, it just shows that they’ll fall for any cute blonde that comes along, look at the blondes that came versus the non ones, now some were talented but some like Lita, Vick or Molly, it was just like giving them bones compared to the doggie mansion that Sunny, Trish, Maryse or Kelly gets

And there is absolutely nothing wrong with having signature moves, as long as they’re not ALL you do. This is pretty much ALL Kelly does in the ring, and it’s horribly boring to see the same match every time she goes out there. Other Divas have signature moves, but they also have other moves that mix up their moveset. Kelly does not, and that’s my complaint. I’m not taking veiled shots at her either–they’re right there in black and white, and I’m not trying to hide any feelings about her wrestling.

There is a big thing that is always lacking in you and Melanie’s general analysis and that is ability to get over. This is a business and the fans want what they want. Wishful thinking hoping that only people you are willing to put over get over is simply that. Alicia gets total crickets for heat and failed as a face. How can those facts be ignored? Eve has been on TV for 2 years and used as the default #2 marketable diva but cant get any reaction. How can that be ignored? KK stays popular no matter how much they bury her. How can that be ignored?

KK with a big push and working against top workers like Beth, Natalya, Katie, a heel Gail, would be a lot more over then what they have been doing and produce the best possible matches.
