How would you book her? Would you have her squashing lower-tier Divas out the gate, ala Kharma, or would you shoot her straight to the top and have her immediately in a title program? Also, how would you book her: Indy sensation now in the WWE, or all new character? And what kind of storylines would you put her in?

Honestly I'm not sure what you do with her in WWE. I've seen her in person at ROH shows at the Davis Arena and haven't been especially impressed (she hilariously missed a kick against Daizee Haze in a groan worthy moment). She's not really enough of an amazon to be a Beth Phoenix type, and not attractive enough to be a regular diva. She would also need to lose some weight since she clearly has a gut, heh.
Del Rey might have a brief WWE run before they lost interest in her. I think she would fit in better in TNA.

Unless she wanted to paint on sideburns and a beard, too (like WCW Hogan). |

She could be an anti-diva. The Divas of Doom hate on the models for not being real talents, but they still doll themselves up and try to present themselves as what is truly beautiful. Sara Del Ray could possibly get over as the woman who doesn't play that game. She could be a real woman who is disgusted at the impossible standards that most divas set. Instead of starving herself in an attempt to meet that standard, she focuses all of her energy at just getting better as a wrestler. Hell, have her approaching technical wrestlers in backstage segments to ask for help training and learning.
She could get over having a platonic mentor/trainee relationship with Daniel Bryan, especially if she gets ridiculed by the heels for not being rail thin only to pretzel up said heels once the match starts. It might even be interesting if Sara invests herself fully and develops a bit of an unrequited crush on Bryan, especially if he gets another "girlfriend". I know, it is a standard staple of the American sitcom, but wrestling has not done that much. There is a reason that it is done so often in sitcoms. It is easy to get invested in something like that. Watch the reactions to the Spike Dudley/Molly courtship and the reactions to when Matt Hardy "impulsively" gave Lita a kiss, confusing her and embarrassing himself. Lita chasing him up the aisle and kissing him back got as big a pop that night as Austin did. It is easy to get it over. Hell, the Molly/Spike thing was probably the peak of his career and was a definite highlight of her career as well.

I only know her by reputation.
Would a Chyna method work with her? By which I mean have her start as a bodyguard that gets involved in the matches, mainly as a way to introduce her to the audiences and then phase her into having matches.

I mean, sure, she's got a bit of a tummy, but it looks quite normal to me and I wouldn't go so far as to call it a GUT. She's not typical-WWE-Diva-thin, but she's nowhere near big-belly sized either. Of course, your meaning of "gut" could be different than mine, haha!  |

I love that the 2 suggested options are "have her crush everyone" and "have her immediately win a title"
I would have her job to Kelly Kelly every week

I love that the 2 suggested options are "have her crush everyone" and "have her immediately win a title" Those two options are more or less based on how they usually book major stars on the way in, regardless of division: either they beef them up with a winning streak (Goldberg, Kharma as I noted above) or they hot-shot them immediately into the title scene or into a major program (case in point, Del Rio). Thus, why I consider those to be two considerable options. But everyone's entitled to their opinion, of course. |

They'll probably think "stick to what they know" and put her with Cesaro and whatever they call Hero. Lawler will make innappropriate jokes. I know she wants to go, but part of me hopes she doesn't.

This is pretty much my train of thought. I half want her to get to WWE, and I half don't, because I feel like they would just misuse her. |

I am a fan of Del Rey and would love to see her in the WWE even if she is a jobber at least she will get a big paycheck and be on t.v.

Kelly Kelly's job is to be young, blonde, and over. She does it well. Eventually, she'll lose one or more of those, then she's done. |

I'd push her as a unpredictable wild card that is not a model but not an ally of the Divas of Doom. She'd go after Beth right off the bat, and shows she embodies being an athlete only without the hypocrisy. She'd be marketed a true role model for little girls and women. When Lawler or Cole try to make fun of her looks in a middle of one of her matches, she'll roll out of the ring and front kick one of them out their chair and then resume the match.

I love that the 2 suggested options are "have her crush everyone" and "have her immediately win a title" I would have her job to Kelly Kelly every week Great idea. Take a woman that's more talented than any diva on the current roster and make her job to a woman who can't even run the ropes.  They'll probably think "stick to what they know" and put her with Cesaro and whatever they call Hero. Lawler will make innappropriate jokes. I know she wants to go, but part of me hopes she doesn't. I feel the same way about anybody in the indies. If I'm a fan of theirs I want them to be happy, and if a WWE-sized paycheck makes them happy or means they don't have to go into debt, then I wouldn't dream of telling them not to sign. But on the other hand I'm not confident that WWE knows how to use talent and I hate to see them either brought up only to be buried like Low Ki or stuck in FCW purgatory like Tyler Black. |
