When I heard the intro music for this match, I actually stopped playing WoW for a few minutes. Not because it had Mickie, Melina, and Beth, but because it also had Katie's debut against other women. And having watched her in OVW, I know she's a good worker, but I was a little let down in this. I mean, I know that the tag match format doesn't give a lot of time to each performer, and this match was booked to further the fued between Melina and Beth, and Kennedy and Paul Burchill. I just wish Katie had more time in the ring to work with these women, because she wasn't bad in her debut. Some missed kicks and such, but she sold well, put out some good offense, and didn't look lost in the ring like so many newcomers. I want to see her in singles competition. Good tag match, too, btw. Really sold the fued between Melina and Beth, and certainly not the clustersmurf we usually see in women's tag matches. See WWE? Women's matches can be entertaining.

It was awesome, minus the ending. I loved Melina in it, and the crowd getting into it was FTW

I loved it, I thought it was the best match on Raw. I think Melina could be big as a babyface if they keep with it.

Melina was awesome in that match, she went completely insane on Beth. Only negative was the lame ass ending with Beth barely pushing Mickie from behind to cost her the match. And as far as Katie not being made to look like a real threat, well, they went out of their way to mention that it was her first women's match so it makes sense that they don't have her go out and look like she'd immediately own the champ or anything.

I think Mickie may have had something to do with the ending, though. I'm not sure she was supposed to land on her feet when Katie pushed her out of the DDScream. Maybe she was up in that position a little too long, maybe Katie didn't push hard enough, but I think Beth's interference for the win would have made more sense if Mickie would have fallen flat from that break.

Let her really go, and Katie Lea is the best worker out of the four in that match.

Mickie was extremely disappointed that her brand new life-sized "clap motion Melina action figure" didn't work.

They need to do something abuot Katie's look. It's not that impressive when she comes out in teh same clothes she's been wearing for months, and it looks like regular clothes, not some wrestling gear. Looks like she was just thrown in there. When they finally started lettng Melina Wrestle, she started busting out that crazy bright spandex that gives her that weird ninja vibe i get from her.
I also like how Melina and Mickie aren't BFF already. Fit Finlay are you back just training the women?

Yeah, because nobody will ever get over wearing black tights, right. :-P Yes, you're quite right. Stone cold is the perfect analogy when compared to female wrestlers.

See WWE? Women's matches can be entertaining. No, not really. It is still girls wrestling.

I was stunned when I heard the reaction to Melina going apeshit on Beth Phoenix. I thought I was watching TNA for a minute...until the lame finish with that poor man's Polish Hammer.

I'd rather watch Snitsky vs. Khali in an ironman match than a women's match. Women have a place in wrestling, it just happens to be in the corner. Paul Shirley (the worst NBA player I can think of off the top of my head) is ten times the basketball player that Lisa Leslie is. Same theory applies.

You are absolutely entitled to your opinion, as long as you know that it is in fact an opinion and not a fact. To say that women's matches cannot be entertaining is simply not true, because some people like me do find them entertaining. The things in wrestling that I like and dislike are just as valid as anyone else's.

I'm just not entertained by women's sports in any form including wrestling. Its just my personal taste. It doesn't bother me that you like it, but I think the majority of the audience views the womens match as the bathroom break of the show. I think these women would be better served in a managerial/valet role.
