Can we eliminate the term diva? This stems from what AJ Lee said about Madusa/Alundra Blaze going in the Hall Of Fame, when she said, "She's a woman's wrestler, she's not a diva." The WWE said they "heard" us when we said, "#givedivasachance" Not entirely. Why do i say not entirely? Because the WWE World Heavyweight Championship number one contender was determined through a triple threat match. The "Divas" Championship number one contender will be determined through a battle royal. Which tells me they could care less. That backstage segment made the div--women athletes look more stupid then they already do. Making them satisfied of the status quo the divas division has become.
If you look at the Knockout Division of TNA, they are given time in their matches, and time in the story lines. They make the women look strong. They put them in tough matches. They are given a fair chance to showcase their ability and their skills in the ring. Taryn Tarrell has improved so much in the ring and it's shown. She had a match of the year candidate with Gail Kim not to long ago.
Now the "divas" division has...total divas. *face palm*
Can the women of the WWE have respect again? I believe so, especially if you look at the booking in NXT. If the powers that be take on that kind of mind set for the main roster, the women's division will be just fine. But if they continue down the pathway that made the women's matches bathroom break, that's all they'll continue to be. All due respect to Nikki Bella, but she's not respected as the champion. In my opinion. She's John Cena girlfriend. Not to say she hasn't worked out to improve her skills in the craft, but she's not respected as champion. She first showed up in the divas search. Naomi, Paige, Natayla, and Alicia Fox would make great champions. So besides putting them in a fatal 4 way to determine a number one contender, the powers that be books a cluster muck of a battle royal. Same old stuff different day.
If you going to give them a chance, then give them a chance, don't just make it a hash tag that leads no where.
