Give the Divas chance? How about give Women's wrestling a chance?

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.

My thoughts on the Pinup Strong movement

I was reading this article on WWE.com, some time ago, where they had a list of potential past and current divas who would or could join up with Beth and Natalya in there run to change the divas division. The last one on the list was Eve Torres. Really? Eve Torres for change in the divas division? When she fits the mold of a WWE Diva? Eve came in as a former dancer, and her start in the business was the WWE divas search. WWE is supposed to be the big time in the wrestling business. Eve came in the big time with no, again I say no, ring experience, and yet she became champion over divas that actually came in with experience like Gail Kim, Beth Phoenix, Natalya, etc. Yet you add Eve to a list to join a force that wants to change the divas division? I’m confused. Beth and Natalya actually came in to the big time with ring experience. Yet they can’t get a legitimate run as a champ? Or at least they couldn’t for a while. So for what I understand, the way to make it as a diva in the WWE is to come in with no experience, embarrass yourself and women wrestlers everywhere on national TV every week, and within a month you’ll have title shot.

Now I, along with a lot of others, am not a fan of John Cena’s in ring work. Yet can I really say that Cena didn’t do enough to get where he is? He was discovered working at an independent wrestling show in California by Jim Ross. Jim Ross got him to OVW which at the time was a development territory for the WWE. So, even though Cena’s offensive maneuvers are limited, the dude came in the right way.

With most everything, there are some exceptions. Trish Stratus came in with no experience. Yet she became a very good worker in the ring. Stephanie McMahon. Y’all may think I’m crazy, but y’all got to admit, she wasn’t that bad in the ring. These divas now though? The Bella Twins, Eve, Kelly Kelly...yes I give you, they look good, but their work in ring is not up to par.

Now who I think could add to the movement for change? Again, y’all may think I’m crazy, but Alicia Foxx would be a great addition. She got the skills to be good, she just needs them tuned. What better tuners can you get than Beth Phoenix and Natalya? That new diva AJ would also be a good addition for change. She actually came in with ring experience, and she can work. Why not?

Reading the dirt sheets recently I hear that WWE is gonna have Kaitlyn turn heel on AJ and join Beth Phoenix and Natayla. What kind of sense does that make? Here I was thinking this was about skill. No it seems like this is about being too thick to be a victoria secret model. Give me a break.
