...throw really weak looking forearm strikes instead of punching? I know wrestling is fake and all, but who the hell teaches these girls to throw those things? It's bad enough that 100 pound bimbos are trying to look as though they can beat someone up, let alone looking like they're trying to make the other girl kiss there arm.

Because there is less possibility for damage when the force of a blow is spread out across an area instead of concentrated on a single point. Furthermore, due to the bony structure and green nature of the divas, possibilities for breaking skin with bony strikes is probably much higher than for their male counterparts.

Couldn't they all just slap then? It'd look like it'd do more damage than what they do now.
Man WWE woman's wrestling is awful.

Id imagine their punches would look even weaker.
Could you imagine Kelly Kelly or Maryse throwing a punch?

Also, not one of them can seem to do a good dropkick or a decent cross body...

I like Mickie James' punches. I think they do forearms because there is less chance of injury.

Same reason RVD does.
They can't be throwing worse punches than X-Pac did.

Because the women either can't throw good-looking punches, or can't pull them. So they tend to go with the forearms. Even wrestlers like Trish and Victoria did the same, it might have been a Finlay thing that's lived on.

I will admit that the forearms look WAY better than most of the lame ass chops they do.

Mickie actually got heat backstage a couple of years ago because her punches were too legit, and she complained that John Cena should be following her example.

It's bad enough that 100 pound bimbos are trying to look as though they can beat someone up, let alone looking like they're trying to make the other girl kiss there arm. It's easier for women. Even on the indys and Japan most women forearm strike (although much harder than the Divas) instead of punching. Also lol @ people talking about how the models can'teven do basic wrestling maneuvers like cross bodies and dropkicks. ..they're models, this is the WWE, it's to be expected. You get what you ask for. Expecting Divas matches to look like wrestling. ...lol.

The last two WWE women who had convincing strikes were Victoria and Jazz. They seemed like they didn't hold anything back to make Diva matches more believable.
