TNA Knockouts IMO are more talented than the WWE Divas. Angelina Love, Madison Rayne, Velvet Sky, Mickie James, and others prove that they are smart, sexy, and powerful. What do you think?

I think theyre both pretty bleh right now. At least the TNA girls have storylines though, and not random 88 girl tag matches where no tags are ever actually made.

The original KO division was leaps and bounds better than the Divas, currently id say the talent and story lines devoted to em are marginally better but certainly not as obvious as it used to, and the fact they keep getting booked in brawls instead of matches brings the division down to even lower standards than the divas IMHO.

Personally, I love the brawling because not all of the current Knockouts are classic wrestlers per say, but brawlers, so it plays to their strengths. With that being said, TNA has a 2 hr show and it seems that they give the knockouts more time than the WWE does the divas in the 5 hrs of tv that they have each week. They give them storylines, and they want to win the title because they want to be the best, whereas the Divas don't really get an angle and it's more childish name calling and bullying that their feuds are based on, rather than wanting to be the best.

Actually WWE might have more talented girls than TNA (Phoenix, Natalya, AJ, Kailtyn, mcCol, Kong, Melina, Kim, and Layla and is imporving), but TNA gives their girls more airtime, but bad news is, Velvet, who is their versionof kelly2, is getting way more air time than the champ, as well as everyone trying to put her over, either by mic (Angles, Mickie) or by jobbing to her, which is almost ridiculous.

I can't remember the last Knockout match that was better than the Natalya/Alicia or Beth/Gail matches. But the Knockouts have better storylines though. Like ODB kicking the security guys in the balls was funny as hell.

It breaks my heart to disagree, but really, when you look at the full possible line-ups for both...
No. No, the Knockouts are not better than the Divas and haven't been for the better part of two years now. Not in terms of best roster or overall good matches.
And the Divas division has been pretty aimless since the Kharma angle got torpedoed, so that's saying something.

I also enjoy the Knockouts division more than the Divas one. Though I like the KO's more in 07-09 than I do now.
But I just can't get into the Divas anymore. They put up an occasional sweet match but significance is rarely attached to it. For me it's almost the wrestling version of watching a preseason sporting event.
I think Cody Rhodes is pretty cool too, thread starter.

The knockouts get more airtime on impact than the diva's get on raw, smackdown and the rest. The matches may not be significantly superior, but at least they get some buildup and mean something.

People still are going by the goodwill that the Knockout Division had years ago. TNA actually have less talented women than WWE, but benefit that Divas matches are short and forgettable. Knockouts get more camera time because they are used for ratings which aren't all that much of difference makers. The old Knockout Division was built upon diversity and athleticism. The current one is made of catfights, brawls, and name calling. So neither company really got much to crow about.

This, you can tell by watching the product that WWE "Creative" isn't even trying to make the Diva Division interesting. My heart breaks for Beth, Gail, Nattie, & even Melina, in spite of the much better pay, everytime I see their Division being booked like an afterthought joke. At least TNA IW give their women something to do, now if the pay was better it would be a great place for women wreslters but alas.   |

Both suck and under utilise the better performers.
The WWE have done nothing as dumb as letting Hamada go.

There's nothing admirable about being slightly above the bottom of the barrel.

A few years ago, sure, but they're honestly almost completely interchangeable now.

If Kharma didn't have to take time off it wouldn't even be close, the E was building a decent storyline with her laying divas out, but once she had to leave, it was back to square one.
