I don't care about just the WWE, because I just love wrestling in general. I like how the TNA Knockouts have the oppurtunity for Hardcore matches, Ladder matches, and even a Queen of the Cage match a while back!! I wonder why the WWE Divas hardly do things like this? Nothing against them, but I'd love the oppurtunity to do various matches. Wouldn't you want to see more than just another costume contest during a PPV and see another insane match? I don't know about most guy fans, but there are more to women in this industry than that...I'd love to see Beth Pheonix in a cage match....against, like, Natalya. They seem along the same lines, physically...anyway, I just wonder why the TNA Knockouts have better match oppurtunities. I know they are a different wrestling federation, but I figured that Vince would have tried to one-up them or something by now. And another thing: I wonder when (If?) there will ever be another high-flier Diva like Lita was? I'm not complaining, don't get me wrong, but I love high-fliers, and seeing a hot girl do it would be friggin' sweet! Does anyone ever wonder about the women in this industry or just the male champions? I mean, come on! An imitation "pop" star? And what's up with making Victoria look so ridiculous? She's a two-time Women's champion, and it seems like she's made to be too incompetent to win a costume contest-of all things-because she slips and falls! Ridiculous! Oh, and if that wasn't bad enough, one word, one name:Maryse. I don't care if she's French, blonde, and admittedly hot. She's a sloppy wrestler, and it's painful to watch. But not as painful as it would be for anyone she's defeated, I bet...wow...I want to ask the women, like, Trish, Lita, Jaqueline, Ivory, Tori (remember her when she was with the old DX?) Molly Holly...just what they think of the women's division since they've left. I don't mean that they have to agree with me, but I want to know. Not that it's completely bad, Mickie James is amazing...there are other things that need improvement, or change, in my opinion. I don't care if you disagree, because at least one will always do Playboy, so calm down and shut up! Actually, if you disagree and think that women in wrestling should always be arm candy or have nothing more than fantasy matches, I want to hear your opinion, but it better be for a better reason than "cuz they hawt". If that's the case, get a girlfreind and get over it, because you're obviously pathetic!


You make some very valid points. The WWE plan seems to be to have the Talent Scouts check out swimsuit contests and similar events to search for new Divas. Not that some of the current Divas couldn't expand to performing more typical gimmick matches (Victoria, Beth, etc. like you mentioned). I don't know if you've heard of All Japan Women's (a company that sadly folded in '05 after losing tv in '02), but they featured entirely women that were absolutely AWESOME wrestlers, such as Amazing Kong, Aja Kong and Bull Nakano. While not possessing the drop dead sexy looks of the Divas, they could and did wrestle every bit as physically as the guys (probably even more so than some current North American stars =) So even though hardcore women's matches have occurred in WWF/E on rare occasion, they don't seem to think such variety is as valuable as an extremely buxom figure.
