Diva question

[Back to being Cenanuff]

This may have been answered in another thread, but I just noticed this tonight on the three-hour parade of crap that was Raw. Why is it that any female competitor that can actually put on a good match gets booked as a heel, with the exception of Mickie James? If you took her, Nattie, Katie Lea, Victoria, Beth, and Melina, and then relegated all the other women to valet duties, you'd have a really good women's division. Bring in the occasional odd Diva that can put on a passable match (Maria, Candice) to mix it up a little, and give them some experience in the ring...maybe work dark/tag matches...but still keep the same core of 6 good competitors. But, hey, what do I know? I value athletic ability over T&A.

Because looking at women as anything but objects, in the WWE is EVIL.

[EJS]

Because the faces can get beaten up the whole match and then win with one or two moves.

[lildude8218]

Because it's your opinion that all of the face divas are "crap"?

[zombrad]

If the face women acting like ditzes with the personality of stereotypical 14 year old anime fangirls isn't "crap", then I don't know what is....

No, I'm saying that with the current crop of competitors, "not that bad" isn't good enough anymore.

Mickie, Candice and Michelle used to be heels at one time, just as Melina, Beth, Jillian and Victoria have been faces in the past.
The valet role seems to be considered the starter role for Divas to get over. So going back to it would be a demotion.

And when it comes to experience, Cherry was on the indies for six years before she even signed a developmental contract. Kelly and Layla have put the effort in over the past six months to become good workers. Ashley? Have at it, she's just hopeless.

Oh, and while technically there's nothing wrong with what Candice does. I just find her boring, tbh

[domrep]

Ashley almost called Mickie James the world champion. That's how awful she is.

No Maryse tonight

Not to mention that they're all BESTEST FRIENDS *GROUP HUG*

I have no recollection of Melina as a face.

LMAO. I thought it was funny that because most the divas are personality-less that they just divided them into two groups.....the good ones and the bad ones XD

[Mac]

Its seemed like since the Sable era the women who just want to be naked and please men have been the faces the majority of the time. The heels have either been old stick in the muds who think women should be more than sex objects or women who are permiscuous so the fans can chant many sexualy charged slurs at them.

[Jay Peas 42]

Yeah, Diva booking makes no sense. Now, when can Jillian sing again?

She was technically correct. It's when Mike Adamle calls the Undertaker the Women's Champion when I start to get worried.
