She doesn't have the personality Trish had. Not that any of the Divas have a personality these days anyway.
Gail's probably my favorite Diva right now, but she probably won't approach Trish's level of popularity.

I totally agree and hope this happens for Gail. Also it's nice to see we're not the only ones who take swipes at Coles commentary LOL

Too Asian. Seriously, she's not blonde enough to achieve Trish like levels of popularity I'm afraid. She doesn't the Barbie look that seems to be held up as the beauty standard. Don't believe me? Guess who was voted top in a poll I recently saw of the current divas.

LOL at the smart, sexy, powerful rib. It's literally the only thing I ever hear Cole say in reference to the diva matches. I've always liked Gail Kim. She just doesn't project or something. Can she just get herself over, or is Vince gonna turn her heel and have her start braining her opponents with a wok or something stupid.

Guess who was voted top in a poll I recently saw of the current divas. Was the poll about "Who the most generic diva is?" Gail's an awesome wrestler and I've been a fan of her since her first run with WWE. I just hope she can really get herself over, because it seems as though that's the main obstacle that's in her way. That and I wish they'd let her rely more on submissions instead of doing aerial moves.

If the womens division had matches every week as memorable as the one this week, then they'd be going somewhere and maybe they'd get TV time for personalities.
However, at the current rate, I've never heard her talk or no nothing about her...so why should I care?

yeah Gail's biggest weakness is on the mic i think. she's got the in-ring ability to be the top diva but interviews weren't her strong suit. kind of like what i remember of Lita early on, she had the flashy moves to make the crowd react but she wasn't very good on the mic for a long while. then injuries and Stratusfaction overtook her.

Personally, Gail is my favorite Diva at the moment. She's hot and can wrestle.

Honestly I think they should take Gail off TV and make her a Trainer for the other Women

Lita was more over with kids and women, but Trish was much more over with the majority of male fans. in the beginning Lita was much more over than Trish (Essa Rios/Team Extreme/Steph feud vs. T&A/early bad wrestling) but after Lita's neck injury things seemed to fall more in Trish's favor to me from then on, except maybe during Lita's time with Edge at the end. Lita was the better heel of the two.

The big difference is Trish is a natural athlete, she played sports her entire life and even played in university. Kelly's not a athlete, sure she's flexable but she's no athlete.

I like the Lita/Gail Kim comparison.
And I'll go even further and be more controversial. The next Trish Stratus?
Eve Torres.
Yes. You heard it here first.
Eve Torres has a certain class and dignity that few diva's have at the moment. She is also a natural beauty. But most important, she has improved a lot in the ring, in a very short time.
Just compare this match, that is allright but nothing special.
With this one.
Some nice moves, a really nice finisher by Eve and some good selling on her part. But let's not forget Layla either, she has really improved and feels comfortable in the ring.
But Eve has 'it'. She has talent and potential and she takes this really seriously. She started training Brazilian Jiu-Jiutsi, I think she even started with the Gracie Academy, but I'm not sure. But she is serious about pro-wrestling and it shows. Candice was serious as well but it didn't show. At least not this fast. Eve can take bumps and learns from her mistakes.
I'm really curious about what she'll be like in a year. How much she has improved. If she keeps on going like this, she is at Stratus-level in about 3 years.
