Divas Competing for World Titles

[Snaptastic]

In the most recent edition of the WWE Magazine, Beth Phoenix said she would like to compete for the World Heavyweight Championship when asked what she would to be the first for a Diva to do. Phoenix said, “Compete for the World Heavyweight Title. I’ve broken down many of WWE’s gender barriers, and I’d love the chance just to compete for it.”

Reminds me of Chyna winning the IC title in years gone by.

To be honest, I'm not sure how I feel about this situation. Apart from maybe Beth, the only diva I could legitimately see as a World Champion is Kharma.

Let's work on getting the divas more than 3 minutes on TV a week before we even dream of giving them the World Title. That said, I'm of the opinion that ANYTHING can work in wrestling under the right conditions.

Most things could work in pro wrestling, but I wouldn't say anything.

That's like saying Hornswoggle could win the Rumble match(which he could) and then go on the win the WWE title and the World title withen the next two months. Something ridiculous but not likely.

To be fair AJ should probably be the one to unite the titles. She's the most over person in the history of the company. It's only fair.

...Good example, actually. So, let me rephrase myself. I think ALMOST anything can work in wrestling under the right conditions.

I would be all for it. But then I like to think of myself as a feminist so I may be biased.

Anyway, Kelly Kelly has already been World Champion. She won it on Smackdown last year.

What gender barriers has Beth Phoenix broken down? The only thing I recall hearing her doing is participating in the Rumble, which had been done by Chyna before (I'm pretty sure). They don't even let women really participate in mixed tag matches anymore.

Beth should thank her lucky stars she's not wrestling guys. Any powerhouse aura she has would be done the moment she got in there with some 6-7 inch taller, 100 lbs. heavier guy who makes her look like Spike Dudley.

She was in the first divas 2 out of 3 falls match, I Quit match and Tables match. Pretty sure its just kayfabe boasting though.

Kharma is the only woman I could see winning a World title. With so many guys being smaller these days it's not even that unbelievable. Heck, Beth didn't look too bad against Punk in the Rumble match. It would be interesting to see Beth in the midcard, maybe compete for the US title; she would have to adapt her moveset but she could do it.

Beth is bulky but isn't that big. I swear she looks alot bigger in 2007 when she feuded with Candice etc.

She doesn't seem scary no more which is a bit sad.

[Dolly Hard-On]

I'm sorry, but what gender barriers? Jeez, WWE is making it seem like Beth is the only woman to have muscles ever.

And I would die of happiness if Kharma competed in just one World title match.

Been there, done that

[KobashiChop]

No. It would be stunt casting for cheap publicity. The damage the WWE has done to the Divas division means that no woman will believably touch a singles title for a long time.

[Sam Punk]

It'll never work.
