WWE "desperate" for new Smackdown Diva

[Widow's Peak]

This is newz attributed to F4W by the various copy and paste sites, but it gave me a chuckle anyway:

With Beth Phoenix out of action, WWE is desperately looking for a good female wrestler, not just a good looking Diva, to work on the SmackDown brand.

What. Kelly Kelly isn't a good enough worker for you? Maybe you wouldn't be in this position if you hadn't just "future endeavored" two of your best workers or if you didn't get most of your hires from the Victoria's Secret catalog. Nah, that's crazy talk.

Seriously, the easiest thing to do would be to slide Gail over, since she'll get lost in the shuffle once Melina gets back anyway.

Discuss.

[Mayonnaise]

Actually, the easiest thing would be have Serina wrestle.

[Chainsaw]

Kong. License to print money now, especially when Beth gets back.

[vivix]

Well I guess Victoria can get that job back now.

[4real]

Yeah my first reaction was draft Gail to Smackdown! Bringing Evan with her obviously. About time Gail got a push.

[jamielowndes {N}]

They look flat out retarded sacking Katie Lea and Mickie James now. Whether Mickie deserved it or not, theyre in a hole.

Either move Gail Kim or Natalya across.

Oh and by the way, Katie Lea COULD GO!!! Watch her ladder match in Hi-Bethinition. It's awesome.

Well since Tara left, I wouldn't be surprised if they call her and she decides to come back.

Of course, but Serena's a heel. I'd assume that they'd want a babyface female in the immediate future.

McCool worked hardly any house shows while she was champion and never works longer than 3 minutes on TV. Somehow I don't think they're that concerned

[Arturo Classico]

Bring in Awesome Kong! Honestly this makes sense since Team Laycool mocked both Mickie James and Beth Phoenix for their looks. Now you have this monster woman kill both Layla and McCool proving they suck and looks mean nothing. Slowly you turn Kong heel as she compeletly demolishes the women's roster and unifies the two titles and throws the Diva's title in the trash. Than when you bring back Phoenix as the savior for the women's division who is the only person capable of toppling the Monstrous Kong, setting up a Wrestlemania match where Phoenix wins and vanquishes Awesome Kong.

Although I really hope they do sign Cherry Bomb and any unhappy Knockouts from TNA and please resign Katie Lea and Mickie James.

Yep.

This really, really smells like NEWZ. The company hasn't cared about women's wrestling for years, and for Smackdown, they can do some combination of Layla/McRibs vs. Kelly/Tiffany for the foreseeable future and no one will be able to tell the difference, because, as usual, most members of the WWE Universe(TM) will be too busy heading out for their bathroom break.

Smackdown is crying out for Mae Young.

I don't like the not-so-thinly-veiled insult at the divas.

How long will Beth be out for? The Smackdown Diva's divison has enough gas in it to continue for a few months before she returns. I can't decide whether or not it's a shame that the WWE introduced a replica Women's Title for McCool to hold (rather than just let Layla hold the belt by herself). Layla being the champion could have made for an interesting storyline with McCool slowly becoming furious that Layla has HER title, while Layla feuds with Kelly or Tiffany. They could feud over who is the true champion somewhere down the line, before Phoenix returns.

So there's two (or three) feuds. Kelly vs Laycool, Tiffany vs Laycool and eventually McCool vs Layla. Sure, there won't be 5* classics but Layla, Michelle and Tiffany are capable of having decent to good matches (and Kelly is not longer abysmal).

Gail hooking up with Evan Bourne recently is the best thing to happen to her since returning to WWE, so I don't want her to move over to Smackdown if Evan stays on RAW. I think it's the first case of a man being paired with a woman to help the woman get over rather than vice versa. If they both moved over to Smackdown that could give both an opportunity to shine, so Gail is a possibility.

Seeing as Serena is a heel it wouldn't make much sense to have her enter the Diva's Division at the moment.

There aren't really any other face diva's that can be moved from RAW to Smackdown with much success, nor are there women who can be turned from heel to face.

Bringing AJ Lee up from FCW is another possibility. The girl's got some skills and is good looking so that's two out of two.

Of course, Kong would be a great signing for WWE. It would be fantastic to see her run through the diva's, and if she gets to the top of the division it's a perfect return feud for Beth.

Smackdown needs the Death Ray.

This is my dream as well, and I'd add Hamada to it along with Serita and Taylor too....but the problem is that not ONE of them is EVER going to be what the WWE is looking for. Despite what they may claim, they ONLY thing this company cares about hiring at the present moment is dumber-than-dirt starving models who don't know a lick of wrestling and will do as they're told for a paycheck, no matter what. They'd just cream themselves silly if they could clone a roster f*****g full of McCool and Kelly2 drones to battle each other day in and day out. Who cares about actual wrestling talent and ability? The only qualifications that it seems like the WWE cares about is exotic dancing ability, and the number of times you were voted Centerfold of the Year.

It's like they're just being blatant about it too. Their current roster proves the point. Maybe three of these girls can WRESTLE. The rest are beyond abysmal, and only there to provide JUST enough PG-rated sexiness so that the entire show isn't one big sausage-fest.

Cheerleader Melissa is available.... =P

[Iceking251980A]

that's what you get when you get rid of people. Defintely need to search the talent pool avaible out there and get someone even if they have to rehire someone like Tara/Victoria, Mickie.

Oh my God! The possibility of having my favorite TNA Knockout on the same show as my favorite WWE Diva (Layla). OH DEAR GOD!!!!

*dies from excitement*

[Iceking251980A]

Hope they don't turn Mcool face, I guess if real desperate they could turn Layla if they chose not to hire anyone.

This could have been her chance. Damn you Vince!
