Also, isn't this like the 2nd week in a row where we get a huge Diva match yet have the women don't even get tagged in? 4 or 5 time this year.

I did find it interesting that Santina is a face. So is Santino still a heel? Last time I heard, he still is.

Hell, why did we need 8 divas? The same results could've been had from a regular Diva tag match. I mean seriously, the only "Divas" to do anything were Brie, Santina, Beth, and Jillian. That's two people from both teams. The other four were just....there. Math time! 8 pairs of bewbs > 4 pairs of bewbs. /lesson

And people wonder why the women struggle to get over. The writers make zero effort to create anything interesting with them. Every week is the same f***ing match instead of a potentially good feud. The made some progress last year when Beth became the #1 female (and rightfully so). But once she dropped the title all the matches suddenly became 1 second long.
I like Santina but she shouldn't be in matches. Stick to non-wrestling segments.

As has been noted the trend for Raw divas matches at least is just to get as many girls out there for us to look at, and just have a tiny bit of wrestling between a minority of them, with many not even tagging in. It's pretty demeaning and patronising both to women involved as well as the audience where the idea is just 'here's some pretty girls to look at while we shuffle between segments'. I mean what is the point? When you're sending that message to the women involved and the audience watching none of these girls are ever going to get over. It just seems like creative prefers it that way. It's really sad that all of Fit Finlay's hard work from 5 or 6 years ago in getting Trish, Lita, Jazz, Victoria, and Molly to have meaningful 5-8 minute matches on Raw has just gone completely down the drain Also, how is it that anybody is supposed to be afraid of Hornswoggle the way Rosa was? What is so scary about this guy? Please tell me. And Santina being a face is really problematic if this angle is meant to have a proper pay off, since ordinarily he should be the one getting his comeuppance. I really hate some of these fans who go to the shows sometimes. *Sigh* I'm just going have to forget about that and think about the good things on Raw like the Miz and MVP segments.

Gee, I was nearly in tears I was laughing at the entire segment.
I'm dead serious. I'm not sure I've ever enjoyed a diva match more than I enjoyed that one. It was everything a women's match should be. Less than 2 minutes and filled with nothing but off the wall comedy.
Including but not limited to: A tranvestite, a midget looking up the tranvestites dress, hot twins, midgets fainting...
It was so wonderully incredible. I may have been my favorite part of the entire show.

I was entertained by that segment (wouldn't really call that a match)...especially when swoggle came out in between the Bella's with a smile, I laughed.

Here's another one... Mickie James is still the most over Diva. I dunno, I fell asleep and didn't see it on TV, saw it online today. But Kelly pretty much matched her in terms of pop. Which is what is so damn annoying. You have two women who haven't wrestled in a serious match on TV in weeks, yet they're still plenty over. Why not do something with them?

My question is this. What were Swoggle and the Bella doing under that ring the time they were under there?

A pop that completely dead in 2 seconds doesn't amek her the most over. Santina is more over than Mickie.

What is that tattoo of on Rosa Mendez's side? And while she might not be everybody's cup of tea...I think she's smoking hot. i think it's a tribute tattoo? her fiancee died in a car accident and that's his name in chinese or something.

So...she's single? Sorry, I'm dark like that. As for this match and all the others lately...while some people might not be fans of divas in the ring, these girls work just as hard if not harder than some men, and this is how they're treated. I don't think it's right. Just saying.

Although there are definitely still aspects of wrestling that I am very much interested in, skits like this make me feel that WWE is passing me by. The whole thing made me feel like I was watching a Looney Tunes cartoon. I realize WWE is catering to kids again, and I can agree that it's good for business. But with that the case, sometimes I really feel like I'm getting too old for it.
Thankfully there are still plenty of things in WWE that do cater to adults. But I definitely can't say that I think Hornswoggle is fun for me to watch.

Oh that's why both twins were drafted to RAW and Rosa Mendez is on RAW, so Batista can give them their "initiations"

What is that tattoo of on Rosa Mendez's side? And while she might not be everybody's cup of tea...I think she's smoking hot. i think it's a tribute tattoo? her fiancee died in a car accident and that's his name in chinese or something.
