Last week’s Raw brought a level of disappointment that made me vow to never again underestimate the WWE’s ability to undervalue the Divas. So, maybe that’s why I’m not as disappointed by Raw as I normally would be. Sure, the match this week was based on a lame and degrading idea, but at this point I’m not expecting anything better.
I’m sure most of you have heard the saying “all dressed up and nowhere to go”, which means, in a fashion, that you’re prepared for something that’s not going to happen. This applies pretty well in this case, as Diva fans, the gluttons for punishment that they are, are continuously hoping for the best. They’re prepared for something interesting, exciting, or at the very least respectable. But if you look at the last few months of booking for the Raw Divas, you would know that it’s not going to happen–at least not anytime soon. Unless they take a hard left turn, it’ll be a while until we’re treated to something that demonstrates that the Raw bookers have an ounce of respect for the Divas. Until then, we’ll be treated to matches like the one that took place tonight. Don’t get me wrong–it wasn’t a trainwreck, but the whole idea of it speaks volumes about the respect (or lack thereof) that the Divas receive. It was close to being a perfectly acceptable match, but one addition, one finishing touch, threw it out of whack. That “touch” was totally unnecessary, and served to pretty much ruin the match for me.
The match in question was a “Dressed to Impress” battle royal, in which the winner would earn a shot at Maryse‘s Divas Championship. That’s a great idea, because we all know that the only thing that could top the awkwardness of a battle royal is a battle royal where the competitors have to wear dresses. Why were they wearing dresses! Why, to fit in with this week’s GM of course! Who is he? I don’t know, but who gives a shit, right? I say bring on the hot mess!
We’re joined at ringside by Maryse, who takes her spot at the commentary table. Surprisingly, each Diva gets her own entrance, which I assume is an effort to show off their fancy dresses. I can’t say I like any of them very much, but I don’t blame them for not pulling out the good duds–you wouldn’t want to risk ruining them when you’re tossed over the top rope. Anywho, we’re joined by Kelly Kelly, Alicia Fox, Gail Kim, Rosa Mendes, Jillian, Katie Lea Burchill, Brie and Nikki Bella, and Eve Torres. Maryse trashes all of their looks, but puts special effort into dogging Eve. It’s not secret that she’s going to win this match; she gets the last entrance, a stare down with Maryse, and special emphasis on commentary. If that doesn’t allow you to telegraph Eve’s win from a mile away, you’re just not paying close enough attention.
The match starts and the Divas break off into pairs, all except Rosa, who charges at the Bellas and pretty much jumps out of the ring. It’s a messy exchange, but the Bellas eventually complete what’s left of her journey and heave her over the ropes and out of the ring. Rosa is eliminated. Soon after, Brie and Nikki are eliminated, with Katie Lea and Alicia doing the honors. Brie & Nikki Bella are eliminated.
Katie Lea whips Gail into a corner and Gail performs her sneaky slip-through-the-ropes move, all the more impressive in a floor-length dress. She battles Katie Lea on the apron, hitting her sit-down attack on the back of Katie’s neck and trading blows until Kelly comes out of nowhere and dropkicks the both of them off the apron. Gail Kim & Katie Lea are eliminated.
Alicia attacks Kelly from behind, and the two battle, Kelly hitting her whirlybird headscissors and sending Alicia flying. I’ve gotta say that it’s impressive that the girls are able to do most of their regular moves in such awkward clothing–it’s not a pretty sight, but it’s still impressive. But hey, they’re working with what they’ve got, right? Kelly celebrates, and Jillian simply walks up to her, hoisting her into a fireman’s carry and walking to the ropes, tossing her out of the ring. Now there’s a “no frills” approach. Kelly Kelly is eliminated.
Alicia and Jillian proceed to double team Eve, bashing her against the turnbuckle. They hit a double suplex, irish-whipping her hard into the corner. Continuing the teamwork, Jillian whips Alicia into Eve, but Eve moves, leaving Alicia to hit the steel pole shoulder-first. Eve pushes her the rest of the way out of the ring. Alicia Fox is eliminated.
Jillian attacks Eve and goes for her handspring elbow, but Eve telegraphs it and hoists herself up, latching Jillian into a headscissors and sitting on her shoulders as Jillian wanders around the ring. She leans against the ropes and Alicia pops up, trying to pull Eve backwards over the ropes. She does, but Eve hangs on, staying on the turnbuckle. Jillian thinks she’s won, but turns around to see Eve still in the game. She charges, and Eve pulls down the second rope, giving her a clear shot to soar out of the ring. She does just that, and leaves Eve alone, giving her the victory. Jillian is eliminated.
Eve celebrates, and Maryse immediately starts with the trash talking, in a sense reiterating her usual spiel: “I’m sexy and she’s not.”. They have a stare down, and Eve departs.
The match, as far as Diva battle royals go, wasn’t bad at all. It definitely wasn’t a clusterfuck, like I had feared. It was awkward, sure, but most matches like these are. I think this proves, more than anything, that the problem with the Raw Divas division lies in their booking, not in the Divas themselves. They’re either given laughably little time to wrestle or told to wrestle in dresses, but they try to make the best of it, and it shows. Most everyone put in decent effort into this match, but it was completely overshadowed by the mere fact that they were wearing dresses. I mean, was that necessary? I know this NXT rookie’s gimmick is that he’s “A-List”, but who even cares or knows that? This was just an excuse to get the Divas to wrestle in dresses and flash a few upskirts to the crowd. I suppose that was enough to convince them to give the Divas more than the requisite 3 minutes of screen time.
The match’s real purpose–crowning a #1 contender–was entirely overshadowed by that, but it’s not like there was any suspense in that either. We all (or most of us, anyways) knew that Eve was going to end up facing Maryse. They’ve been hinting at that for a while, even before the WWE decided to go inter-brand in the weeks leading up to WrestleMania. So, it was no surprise to see Eve win, but that’s another thing to blame on the bookers. There’s literally nothing compelling about the Divas on Raw. The most compelling they get is hoping that their screen time breaks the 3-minute mark. Shockingly, it did this week, but I have a feeling that the dress wrestling was a significant driving force in that. I just wish they could have had a normal battle royal, because then we would be talking about Eve vs. Maryse, not how ridiculous they looked wrestling barefoot. But their priorities are obviously out of whack, and I’m guessing this is the best we could have possibly gotten at this point.
As for the actual story development, we only moved forward about an inch, but it still counts as forward momentum, yes? Maryse’s commentary was entertaining, and shows that she can be an entertaining heel capable of more than just hitting a DDT and sneaking out a win in match after match. That doesn’t mean next week’s title match will be great–Eve is still pretty limited in the ring and Maryse hasn’t wrestled fully since her return–but I’m just glad we have we have an actual title match to look forward to. Now, I’m not going to delude myself into thinking that they’ll get decent ring time, but I’m willing to let myself hope that the girls will do their best, that it will break the 1-minute mark, and that they will be dressed in regular ring gear while doing so. See people? That’s how you keep your expectations low. Now, the only way I could be disappointed next week is if they have a pudding match and Hornswoggle runs in in a bikini and steals the title. Oh shit, did I just jinx it?

I enjoyed this weeks Raw, Its not much but as you said its the best we can get at this point. Maryse was so entertaining on commentary, She is still feuding with Michael Cole over the simplest things :).
Nice redux, Erin! :)
The Divas actually got around 7 minutes of TV time. Definitely an improvement from what we have got these past couple of weeks. I hope Eve & Maryse get this much time next week so they can breathe and not rush through the match.
The whole “Wrestling in Dresses” is stupid in my opinion. And if there wasn’t a gimmick for the match, I doubt all the Divas would have got their own entrance.
erin.. you cracked me up on your last paragraph ! lol.
both raw and impact today were pure crap… smackdown better not disappoint this week.
So basically…
MARYSE – looked great
KELLY – looks like shes going to prom in the 80′s
ALICIA – looked like a bumble bee with a wig on (lol)
GAIL – looked like the nbc logo
ROSA – looked like she was wearing a lamp shade
JILLIAN – she’s whiter than sheamus
KATIE – shops at the goodwill
BELLA TWINS – dresses looked cheap
and EVE – was the worst looking of the night
RAW is a hot ass mess… but tonight it wasent half bad.
It was….interesting Otunga’s a pain in the bum for causing the dress factor… Seeing as that watered down the entire match. Nonetheless I’m looking forward to Smackdown. And I hope Eve and Maryse can put on a good showing. (yes I’m a optimist)
For a Battle Royal in dresses, it was pretty good. Maryse looked the best though, and did you guys hear the (small) pops for Jillian and the Bellas? Gail got one too, and they were loving her moves when she was battling Katie Lea in the corner. Gail needs some gold, she is too good and can carry the division until either the draft or until Melina gets back. I love Maryse but since they aren’t really using her to wrestle I’m getting bored, and I don’t want the title on Eve. She’s gorgeous and I’m glad she’s trying but I’m just not a fan yet.
I’m gonna go with positives this week:
- It was actually well done and followed exactly how battle royals should go: a couple of quick eliminations to weed out the long shots, a couple of close calls, a battle on the apron, double elimination, and to end it off, a false finish followed by a pretty nice elimination
- It was very quick but everything flowed well and everyone did their job so that wasn’t an issue for me..
- It was somewhat exciting to watch, there were a few different things going on simultaneously that you zone in on different parts of the ring.
- Kudos to all the girls for performing in that attire. Gail Kim especially, she was FLYING out there!
- the result: FINALLY, A NEW CONTENDER! Someone new gets a chance to (potentially) shine, if only for a few minutes. Congrats to Eve, make the most of it! I beliEVE!
This match probably looked a lot better then it should, mostly because I’m so used to 1 minute matches on RAW that a nice battle royal comes like a breathe of fresh air. I think the wrestling-in-dresses is weird, especially since they’re barefoot, that makes me cringe harder then when I watch Sanda Bullocks “acting”.
What I loved was that all girls got a chance to do their own entrance thingy, it’s here where you see who the crowd is supporting, who they dislike and who they don’t even know. Kelly got a big face reaction as always, Alicia actually got a few hearable boos, which is a good thing since she’s a heel, Gail got the silence treatment with some pops probably from the hardcore fans. Rosa got crickets. Jillian got the best heel reaction of the night (as she always has). Katie got the same hearable boos as Foxy, which is nice. The Bellas actually got a face reaction?? That’s great for them. And then, the obvious winner of the match comes to the biggest snorefest ever heard that night, which is irnoy at it best.
I don’t see what WWE sees in Eve at the moment, the crowd can’t tell her from the next diva, she hasn’t been keen in the ring lately (lots of botches, sloppy basics), I’d rather see Kelly, Gail, heck I’d rahter see the Bella getting a push over Eve. At the moment, she’s the worst in-ring worker on WWE in my book (next to the gaylicious, dragqueenamazonia Rosa Mendezzzz).
Seriously, since when did a diva acted as flamboyant as Rosa, I’d say, maybe tone down the make-up and the slutty “my hips don’t lie” moves.
But do you know what would have been cool. since they already had the red carpet made it a 10 diva battle royal and then the last diva had been MELINA! oooo now that woulda made it an even better RAW.
I actually enjoyed it, especially compared to the 10 second matches of late. ;)
ERIN, I AGREE WITH YOUR ANALYSIS OF THE CURRENT SITUATION RELATIVE TO THE DIVAS. THE PRODUCERS & WRITERS DO NOT GET IT. THE DIVAS HAVE SOME REAL TALENT, BUT THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE IT. AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE, THE DIVAS SHOULD START THEIR OWN PRODUCTION COMPANY. I WAN’T SURPRISED THAT EVE WON THE BATTLE ROYAL. SHE IS SUPPOSE TO SUCCEED MARYSE AS DIVA CHAMPION. TAKE CARE.
The match was… special… I think that is the best word for it. I must say Maryse’s commentary was rather funny (and she got to trot out her HOF dress again I believe). Eve’s winning was a “DUH” moment, but the ending was pretty good (oh Alicia and your sore losing).
I like Maryse’s constant sniping at Michael Cole, it reinforces her “screw the little people” attitude. And I think Maryse has another catchphrase/nickname available. She said that Eve is like a sister, but she isn’t the girl you fantasize about. Is Maryse not only the Sexiest of the Sexy, but the Girl You Fantasize About too?
@PedroPedroso17
What the hell is a gaylicious, dragqueenamazonia?
Also those werent “hearable boos”., those must of been the voices in your 12 year old head
It was not that bad really for a gimmick match. Maryse on commentary was just gold. Very entertaining talker, she is! Kelly Kelly needs to just STOP screaming everytime she hits a flashy move already. It’s annoying.
Again it was OBVIOUS who would win. Eve Eve Eve.
She will lose anyway, she can’t drop-kick so she can’t beat Maryse, who is also below average in ring.
Gail was great but WWE find such stupid ways for her to be eliminated, and by K2 aswell.
K2 and Gail are meant to be like friends.. I HOPE Gail turns heel soon and attacks that stupid prom queen wannabe piece of trash.
Maryse was VERY funny tonight however.
I’m hoping next week has some form of storyline forming and not with Eve becoming champion, I like Maryse as champ.
The match was good. I wasn’t surprised with Eve winning the match. I hope that Eve takes the title off Maryse. I can’t stand the woman she is useless in the ring. At least Eve is good in the ring.
Here’s an Evan fun fact that not many people know: Jillian is my favorite Diva behind Beth Phoenix and I looved how she got the best crowd reaction during her entrance (Behind Kelly Kelly) And I loved how her and Alicia were working together :D Go Jillian!
I loved everything about this match except for Eve winning.. I would’ve settled for anyone winning except her.. (Or Alicia :x)
Steven better not win next week.
Also, what the fuck is it going to take to see Alicia have a title reign? I’m sick and tired of waiting for it. Just make it happen already. It’s the damn divas title, how much more fucking work does she have to do in order to get it?
RAW was fine for what it was, just watching that video again made me relive some of Maryse’s one liners. I particularly liked the Lamb Shank one and the one were she said The Bellas shopped at Walmart. All that mixed in with her broken english was quite funny, and the whole thing with her saying Michael Cole is getting better at pronouncing her name was funny aswell.
Let’s hope the Hoff doesn’t ruin next weeks title match, but I think we’ll get a 2nd Divas match to host the Baywatch gimmick.
@Dan333 – Maryse is better in ring than Eve. But they’re still both useless.
@.MCH – It should be Gail vs Alicia by now, Gail should have beaten Maryse and Alicia should be the #1 contender to Gails title, Gail should hold for a few months and then Alicia should take it off her before Melina returns. But nevermind, let’s just hope the draft puts Maryse up against McCool and Phoenix/Mickie then I doubt she’d hold a title.
DAMN I hope next week its a BAYWATCH divas match! OH MY LORD! GAIL KIM AS A LIFEGUARD :-D!!!
I hate how they just pushed Gail Kim aside after that never ending saga of a Divas tournament. It was like they said to her, ‘Look, Gail you served your purpose and we no longer need you. Now go job to some undeserving girl or stand around and look pretty.’ The E is trying to shove this Maryse-Eve fued that no-one really cares about down our throats in the most ridiculous manner possible. What is so difficult about giving the Divas a real feud? You know, 3 minute promos, 6 minute matches, an actual storyline? If you just cut 5 minutes off of Boretistas and John Cenas endless bitchfest you have more than enough time to do their thing. But what am I saying? That would require the writers to actually DO THEIR JOB!! How dare we demand such an absurd from them?!
Maryse’s commentary was absolutely terrible! I wouldn’t've minded if she spoke in French. WHY have Eve win the match, when the only Divas that got a reaction from the crowds were Kelly (which was quite quiet this time) and Jillian (who, let’s face it, actually got the biggest pop out of all the Divas). I was quite excited when it came down to Eve & Jillian, and Alicia’s intereference, but still, it wasn’t to be: Jillian can’t be a 2 time Divas Champion…
Surprising to see Rosa & Katie Lea on RAW: I completely forgot Katie was on RAW, and I thought that Rosa was a part of SmackDown now.
Ever noticed how the WWE always places the Diva they thinks will get the loudest pop (or is supposedly over with the fans) as the final entrant into the Battle Royal? e.g. Trish Stratus, Melina.
Maryse embarrased herself on commentary at the end, the match was ‘Meh’ at best
didn’t the Bella twins win a title shot last week?
we all knew eve was going to win at least it was a decent match way better than last week. last time we saw a contender battle royal was when alicia fox won i remember how every other 3 weeks they would have a battle royal for number one contender spot. Its hard to say who is going to win but im most likely go with maryse because she’ll reign as champ till melina return.
@theregoeskitty
Yeah I thought that would happen and I think it would have been interesting actually seeing the Bella’s in a title match, they’re not THAT bad either, in my opinion they’re better than Kelly and Eve.
Why do WWE trust Eve with all the botching, she’ll muck up again..
I’m so sick of WWE, the women are a total joke! I’ve been watching since 1999 the start of the golden age and sadly I have seen it’s fall and now it’s worse than ever at least when Terri, Debra and The Kat were doing this stuff they had character. Now they’re just awful. Maryse is awful!! A hand gesture does not a heel character make, the woman is just awful. Yes the wrestling quality is better but none of them seem to have match Psychology. All there is now is spot followed by spot followed by spot flashy flashy flashy. Look at the greats Lita and Trish in all their years they had the Super-plex, Lita jumping outside and brawling. That’s all they needed to hold an amazing match. Get Fit Fin back behind the scenes training the bloody girls. Anyone who really watched the women between 99-05 couldn’t possibly find a good thing to say about the current lot. No character, all flash no talent. Grrrrr!!!!!! t’s depressing me lol
well,it has been obvious that it would be Eve who would win this match,after what happened in the last weeks….making a match like this to state the obvious….oh well…
next week,with Hasselhoff as the host,i will bet in a Title match Baywatch style,with those red swiming suits and surfboards.
i’m more weirded out by how often the divas are going around barefooted lately, rather than what they’re wearing. i think not being able to see past their clothes, is very akin to the hot blooded male viewers, not seeing the divas beyond their looks.
although i’m pretty disappointed the bellas didn’t get their title shot! yeah, it would’ve been likely a horrible match, but it was something different to look forward to. i wouldn’t have minded the bellas actually taking the title off maryse if it lead to them both holding it.
I thought this match was ok not great but not terrible!
its gonna suck if eve become’s champ though :/ she’s so boring! she 0 charisma 0 skill! i dont think she any champion qualitites!
i hope Melina come’s back and wins it next
I thought this match was ok not great but not terrible!

lol @ the Gail fans who act like she hasn’t had matches to prove her worth. Out of all of the divas, Gail has the most hype and she has fallen flat since coming back to the WWE. You should be impressing people everytime you are out there, not give people ammo to go “they didn’t give them enough time!” like everytime. Gail had her shots.. As in more than ONE shot to get that belt and didn’t win. End of story, move on.
Also, it’s not like Alicia is getting the shaft either. When ever there needs to be a sneaky act done by a heel, she’s been there. Heck, she even gave Jillian or Katie one of their few wins this year.
I thought Brie and Nikki looked great. I was pleasantly surprise to hear some response for them. Heck, the crowd even reacted to them posing in the middle of the ring for them. I did laugh when Rosa charged at both of them and they just moved out of the way. hah
I really hope Maryse retains. She is easily their smartest booked in the ring chick they have wrestling wise. She’s not trying to do moves she doesn’t know how. She’s not trying to do stupid indy set spots/moves that look stupid because they are stupid. She’s not trying to do her same “signature” spots with chicks who don’t know how to do them like Mickie’s entire match structure.
Maryse isn’t without fault, but she knows what she is suppose to be doing in the ring.. Which is letting the other chick shine if they can. It’s just hard to get behind the face comeback/fire up if it always consists of two really crappy dropkicks.
Wrestling in dresses, silly yes, impractical maybe, cliche definitely but I would hardly call it degrading. That being said i enjoyed the match for what it was, rather solid as far as gimmick matches go.
I’m just confused as to how Miss High and Mighty Haute Couture in her Chanel Frenchie has any right to criticize the other diva’s dresses when she just recycled her Hall of Fame dress…
its easy to see when they r pushing someone…eve music on WM…eve comes last and eve wins a no.1 contender..thts wwe :s
The match itself wasn’t that bad, it was also longer. lol @ Jillian thought she won.
I actually enjoyed RAW this week, which isn’t something you say every week, right? I’m praying Eve & Maryse are given enough time next week to actually make the match look good but I think we’ll get a 1-2 minute match, if that. Maybe they’ll try and break last weeks record of like what 7 seconds? I also hope Maryse actually wrestles alot more than she has since her return. I want her to dominate the match instead of Eve dominating and having Maryse sneek out a win. It’s so obvious they are trying to hide Maryse’s flaws but we gotta see if she can work an actual match. I’m 99.9% sure Maryse will retain but you never know for sure. What it looks like to me is they are waiting for Melina to return and give her the title back. Honestly I’m all for it because I was kind of excited for Maryse vs. Melina late last year. It had some type of storyline going and wasn’t just randomly put together. I’m still pulling for Gail or Alicia to win the title this year. I wouldn’t even mind Kelly holding it because honestly the title has close to no prestige at all so who cares who holds it?
@EBMICH
You do know WWE books the matches, right?
So if it was a REAL wrestling match Gail Kim would have had the title already by now.
As the WWE book it, it’s not a question of ‘SHE HAD HER CHANCE’ because you don’t have a chance if you HAVE to lose because WWE say so.
Looks like you’re one of those people that tries to find any reason why the REAL TALENT shouldn’t hold the belt because of your beloved Maryse or whichever of the SLUTS is your favourite.
Let’s just face it the only true Wrestlers in the Divas Division are:
Gail Kim
Mickie James
Melina
Beth Phoenix
Natalya
Jillian
&
Katie Lea
The others are just a bunch of models who have come through Diva Search and what not, people who haven’t really ever had wrestling as their #1 priority but modelling etc.
it is amazing, the diva with the most less crowd reactions during the entrance was….Eve!!! the new contender!
:O
thumbs up for Katie being allowed to eliminate one Bella on TV!!! :D and beeing not one of the first to go.
But that whole match was again disappointing. It could have been good without the dresses, but nooo…. :/
@Gail Kim #1
I know the WWE books matches, do you? Storyline wise, Gail was given a few chances to get that ugly belt. She didn’t. So, why shouldn’t the champ move on?
And I hate when people go “well, so and so are the REAL wrestlers.” Have you ever watched real wrestling? Like I dunno, what Brock Lesnar or Kurt Angle did before they started pro wrestling. Then again, you would know that pro wrestling is fake, right?
“I really hope Maryse retains. She is easily their smartest booked in the ring chick they have wrestling wise. She’s not trying to do moves she doesn’t know how. She’s not trying to do stupid indy set spots/moves that look stupid because they are stupid. She’s not trying to do her same “signature” spots with chicks who don’t know how to do them like Mickie’s entire match structure.”
@ebmich, What show are you watching? Because Maryse has little wrestling skill to be blatantly honest: she does do the same few moves, she only has a limited and repetative moveset, and, as I’ve previously said, she competes well in tag matches (e.g. the Survivor Series SmackDown vs RAW match). Talking of looking stupid by performing moves that she can’t… the reason Maryse doesn’t do those moves, is pretty much because she can’t!
I don’t understand the hate Eve gets and gail kim fan, calm down, and besides they already tried Kelly and Maryse and nobody cared. (Then again, if they gave them mic time then they might would have had a chance.
And yes nothing is embarrasing, than having to wear a dress twice within a week like Maryse did, even though it was pretty. And xflygirl, umm MIchelle is lacking in that department too, in fact she’s getting to be annoying just when I started to like her, even though she can wrestle better than most of the divas.
And besides, why are you all acting like Eve’s gonna win? She already won liek three times within the last month, so Maryse is going to keep it til’ Melina comes back.
What wrestlers don’t do the same things over and over.. Wait, the ones that need to find something to get a reaction do new things all the time.
I think the problem the Divas aren’t getting over is because even the diva fans don’t look at the big picture. Maryse has a character, she has charisma, she IS memorable. That is why more people are talking about her instead of a Gail or Katie, whom are on the same brand and in the same segment last night. Who knows if Maryse can’t do more than her DDT, some kicks, a camel clutch and slaps. But it’s not like you need to do a bazillion moves to make an impression.
If nothing else, Trish was rather comfortable repetitive with her “quick brawl, sell her Canadian buns off, some hurricarana variation, sell her Canadian buns off, somehow the other chick is setting on the turnbuckle for the Stratussphere, sell her Canadian buns off, finisher” match up. But she had character, charisma and that IT factor that makes her memorable. Yet, not one mentions how divas today do more moves in the ring than Trish ever did.. But I know more people than not wanna talk about Trish instead of whatever the Diva the WWE pushes on Raw or SD.
I still think Maryse is the best booked Diva when it comes to matches because she gets the spectatcle end of pro wrestling.. Which is something almost all of the divas just don’t get. Heck, how many of the divas actually sell even if they only get a min or so on the show?
@embich
Yeah I’ve seen a load of the Japanese wrestling.
And I know wrestling isn’t real, but people can still be better than others and do moves others can’t.
To be honest the only reason I watch RAW is for Gail Kim and that’s why I come across so passionate, even argumentative. I’m not having a go, It’s just my heart talking.
Anyway, WWE cannot book, they cannot write and they cannot promote the Divas. AT ALL.
I think any average person would do A LOT better than they are doing, even a non wrestling fan would.
Of course she is memorable, any blonde who looks like a p8rno star and talks more than she should is memorable lmao, give me trish anyday gailkim fan, it’s a shame about Gail, she looks less passionate than ever and it almost reaching Mickie heights from last summer. I hope she doesn’t lose it like Mick did.
@stchick
Yep, I must agree.
Same move after same move now for Gail, in TNA she’d have an immense move set.
I wonder if she now thinks the pay check is worth it?
I hope she leaves WWE and goes back in the next year maybe, of course I want her to take that Divas title first..
first off raw was good. i think losing shawn michales mean more diva time. sweet bitter victory. eve was great. i think maryse will win sadly. but the feud may end up in being like the melina and candice feud. now reading these comments i notice how people are being total bitchs. ecspecially the one with the gail kim picture. you guys are so picky. be happy that there are women trying to entertain you and have a respect for the buisness. like odb said, she doesn’t care how you get in the wrestling but how you respect it. diva search or not. so just because they posed for a camera don’t mean they aren’t divas. all divas are basically models(including the ones from indieies). they aren’t even real models. they wasn’t none. the only ones who was actual models are trish, candice and maryse. because they was famous. your acting like freakin tyra banks jumped off the catwalk and got in a ring. just because they didn’t train since age 12 don’t mean they aren’t wrestlers. not everybody relises their real passion from day one. so if you so much as got a problem with the girls you call models (who really aren’t models) then turn off your tv’s and don’t watch any type of wrestling. not wwe, tna, roh, wrestlicious, shimmer and anybody else. because they are every where. even the legends cough cough victoria, torrie, trish, jaquline, sable, stacy and etc. so stfu.
I hear that the Draft is going down on the 26th of April. I think its WAY overdue. As for the match, it wasnt bad but it wasnt good. The Divas can do, and deserve, much better. I like Eve and have nothing against her getting a moderate push, but there is no way in hell she is championship material. As for Maryse, this has to be the most boring championship reign ever. We all know that she is more than capable of some good feuds, but this non-wrestling thing of hers is getting old fast.
