Layla gets mic time every episode she's on, and I love hearing her accent+great promo skills. She and Ricky O. had a nice rally-towel segment (after she broke it down on the dance flo').
I hear Eve on every episode of "Word Up".
Natalya yells loudly in all of Hart Dynasty's matches from ringside, shouting at the opponents (i.e. "You're worthless!"-- very great stuff.)
While none of these are the same as cutting promos against an opponent, it requires great mic skills and a little charisma. I don't think Kelly would be able to perform any of these tasks nearly as well. Thinking back to her days in "Expose" where she was supposedly the lead dancer, but Layla and "Other Chick" were always speaking for her/outdancing her, it doesn't surprise me that I think this way, I guess.
Meh, maybe I'm just biased against dumb blondes. (But I sho love me some Tiffany!!)

Fair enough I don't catch SD till Monday but even then the Layla bit was mainly to appeal to her Hometown Fans in Miami Natalya Yells ALOT Eve really doesn't say much in those segments from what I've seen but I had forgotten about Tiffany

Hell No There are alot less talented women on the roster who have less dedication and refuse to take harder bumps then her I really hope they just let her have some mic time, work on her acting chops. She could be a valuable diva, she's really not THAT bad in the ring, I personally don't think. Much like the other divas, she hasn't really been allowed to express any kind of "personality."

Hell no, she's one of the hottest and most over women in the company. If they should release any divas Eve, Jillian Hall or the Bellas should go way before Kelly.

How is Kelly even improving? All I see is the same backflip spot and a couple of headscissor takedowns, and she's always whining and screaming like a little girl in the ring. She's really hot but there are divas that are hotter and better in the ring. I like Layla El (who actually is improving) more than Kelly Kelly.

A few months ago I would've said the OP is crazy to suggest the WWE cut Kelly^2 loose. But now-- she's had ample time to shine and I don't really think she can go much higher than Candice Michelle did during her "run". Meanwhile, fresher divas like A. Fox, Rosa Mendez, Gail Kim, Katie Lea, Eve Torres (her backflip splash on SD! in the mixed tag was niiice), and Natalya (discus clothesline is better than 90% of the male finishers in the WWE) could create a LEGIT Women's division and shouldn't have to pretend to be out-performed by the likes of Kelly Kelly in a ring. It's one of the pet peeves I have with the Divas, just because she looks good in a bikini doesn't mean she should be booked to win clean over Beth Phoenix or Victoria-- it's like letting Hornswaggle win clean over Chavo... ...heh!? Candice was women's champion

I was thinking about Christy Hemme before (giggidy) and how weird it was that she was released when she was taking big strides in actually becoming a decent wrestler. Plus Cherry was released when the WWE actually put effort into pushing her, and she actually got pretty over with the crowd.
I wouldn't be too suprised to see Kelly go. I wouldn't be that suprised to see any diva go really (except Maryse or McCool). The WWE doesn't seem to know what it wants to do with Kelly. She has been pushed up the card and down the card so many times this past year. At one time she was regularly beating Jillian and Katie Lea, and she was the one getting the pin for the face divas during tag matches. But it never went anywhere. She had a mini storyline going on with Kane and Randy Orton. But it didn't go anywhere. Then she started losing a lot more. She was the woman Beth Phoenix would go and defeat when she needed to be seen as a threat. Then she sat on the sidelines for a bit. Then she became Number one contender for Maryse's belt and was seen as a threat for about a week until she was easily dispatched by the champ.
Trish was booked consistently and with clear focus. Kelly was booked well in ECW (which definately helped her get over with the crowd) but now the WWE has no idea what they want from her.
Has she improved? Yes, no doubt about it. She was abysmal when she started and now she's noticably better. Is she great? No. Does she have much charisma? No. Is she attractive? To the majority, probably yes. Will she stay around? Who knows.
Also, Layla, Eve and Maryse have had less training that Kelly (Kelly was already around when they were in the Diva Search) and all are already better than her in terms of wrestling (not to mention charisma). Alicia Fox was hired at the same time as Kelly and defeats her on pretty much everything that counts. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

I have personally met Kelly Kelly after a house show and she was very friendly, and probably signed around 300 or so autographs for fans after the show.

I don't buy the story that she rolled her eyes at fans asking for her autograph once, but that's mainly because I've never seen her pull off more than 1 facial expression.

I'm not her biggest fan or anything, but she's fairly popular, getting better in the ring, and is quite young still. She might not be a bad long term investment.
If they were going to release her, about a year ago would of been the time. If they've weathered this much with her, hell, why not longer?

Honestly, I'd like to see most of the models fired or turned into valets, unless they are actually good in the ring. I'm not talking about "improving" good; I'm talking about "capable of going twenty minutes and putting on a three star match" good. So, Kelly can go. I doubt I'd miss her.

Someone mentioned promo skills? Although I grant you, fawning over Punk is not a stretch for any Diva When it comes to training. You gotta remember that while Kelly was out on the road for over two years and didn't get any real time off to train. Alicia, Rosa and Maryse spent the same amount of time in OVW and FCW. Based on that, they SHOULD be better than her. Although, imo, only Alicia is. To say she may be next in line to be released is ridiculous. Given the hard time WWE has had getting their women over since Trish and Lita left, they're not gonna get rid of one as over as her

She should win the United States title on RAW by beating Kofi Kingston senseless clean and having Kofi do a stretcher job. She should be the longest reigning US champ ever and go on a Goldberg like run.

She should stay, be a face. Kevin KElly should come back and save her from a beatdown. They should form a stable called KKKK. Then when Kennedy comes back they can be the six-Ks.
