this girl is in my top five of female wrestlers in wwe, she is very talened but is sooooooooooooooo wasted
If you havnt seen it, here is a ladder match she had with beth phoenix for the OVW title-i think this was the first ever female ladder match
wwe need to make this happen again
since all the ECW talent hardly stay on their own show WWE should think about having ECW strictly for the divas-
what say you?

I don't they're so much dropping the ball as they could be doing more. They have more women wrestlers than they probably have ever had, so it's hard for her to make herself stand out, harder still with Burchill being out of the picture.

I really don't see anything interesting about Katie Lea. She's not the most eye-catching in terms of looks and doesn't do anything with any real personality in the ring.

She didn't help matters by looking out of sorts in her feud with Mickie.

She needs a gimmick that is hers alone.
Being the classy British woman has been taken by Layla.

Even if they just gave her a chance to use her own personality. Maria, for example, hasn't got a gimmick as such but she manages to get decent crowd reactions because she has a personality that people like. That is a method I think works wells for both Divas and male Wrestlers in the current climate. Gimmicks, in general, are a little old fashioned these days.

Katie could probably get over well as a valet, even something as goofy as being Jamie Noble's girlfriend.
Tell me you guys wouldn't crack up to see a vignette with Jamie taking Katie out for fine dining, and wearing a suit jacket and jeans, or something goofy like that. Crowd would eat it up.
Also, I could see her attempting to seduce Kane to trick him.
"What do you say we get to know each other better, big boy?" "No thanks... Bad track record with women named Katie...."

She looked a little bit nervous in her first few matches on TV. But that is understandable I guess.

In fact, the notion I had of her gimmick was an arrogant upper-class b...h who nevertheless likes to hurt people and prefers to do it mean and dirty. She pretends to have the class people (may) associate with the British, but her Brawling and dirty moves show a total lack thereof. IMO this obvious hypocricy can be very useful to get a heel character over. Classy heel is what I associate Maryse's character with - it starts off with a similar "I am so much better than you" but is much more condescending and subdued. It could work out even better if Maryse is given a more technical and/or acrobatic style that shows grace and technique.

That's all that comes to the top of my head, though.

IMO layla is just a waste- she cannot wrestle and its a shame she still has a job..I personally think she will be next to pose for playboy hence her getting a push of late and doing more promo katie as a british heel version of maryse would be a good look

That's all that comes to the top of my head, though. it was against supercrazy..and to be honest a win over a jobber doenst really count...or is that rude? katie lea go over mickie? i doubt that happened but maybe you are right i stand corrected it was in an intergender match with mickie and kennedy

I doubt she'd pose for Playboy since she's been successful enough modeling to where being an "adult" style model might actually hurt her career. Would love to be wrong on that one, though.

Would love to be wrong on that one, though. would you have thought maria would pose for playboy? i dont understand how shes been successful as a model, was she a model prior to WWE? i thought she was a dancer for some team? are you basing your opinion on the fact that you wouldnt want her to pose? posing in playboy certainly hasnt hindered marias career infact i think it helped her

There is only so much time WWE devotes to divas on the shows. Right now Beth and Jillian, who have more defined characters and personality are the main heels that are used. Layla also gets used as manager to Regal. As others have probably suggested, they should let Regal and Layla form an alliance with Paul and Katie.
