It's not because the audience hasn't been given a reason to care, it's because they don't care. They just don't care about the divas anymore. They realize that they aren't as good as the men and see them as a waste of time because of it. The only one that really matters is AJ and that's because she's been able to be just as, if not more entertaining than a lot of the guys. I still say we need to see what happens when AJ gets the title and go from there. Some of reasons why some of the men/femlae audience still watch it is the sexy, beautiful outfits and attair they wrestle in. Or just they're beauty, the females on the other hand don't really pay as much attemtion to the female devision in my Opinion.

Paige will save the Divas division just like Jericho saved us that 1 time. If not, I will get a boner at the very least.

The Divas have always been -- and always will be -- just the bathroom break segment. No one really cares about their "wrestling" so the hard-core fans tune out. And there are better bodies on many websites. So the roles of managers (about non-existent) or valets was all there ever was in any federation. The payments have to be justified and none of them justify it.

Face it, at one point they were over and everyone cared about them. Now the division isn't. I stopped caring about the current one a while ago, but this is just disingenuous to say it's "always been a bathroom break". Yea. People were never on their feet cheering Chyna, Sable, Trish, Lita, and at one point Mickie. They aren't the main point of the show because it's a men's wrestling company, but dismissing them as always having been worthless and with no meaning to the fans is a very post 2006 mindset.

Anytime someone says something like "No one cares about ____", usually means "I don't care about ____, and anyone who has an opinion of them that differ from mine are wrong".

We can bring them back, splice the DNA we find from them in mosquitoes with frog DNA to fill in the gaps.

It's just a figure of speech, no different than saying "I've done this a million times" instead of "I've done this a lot". There's no one or no thing in any form of entertainment that has 0 supporters/fans.

Saying you've done something a million times is an obvious exaggeration, that anyone would pick up on it as such. Saying no one cares about something rather than I don't care about something is very different, and implies that you think your opinion is the only one.

They've been dying out ever since Trish Stratus & Lita retired in 2006. I think that's when WWE just said the hell with it and quit paying much attention to it. Well WWE keeps getting models and not wrestlers. I think the fans do what to see hot girls in the ring but I think above anything they want to see them kick each others ass. If all of your matches end in rollups and are uneventful then why should the fans care? The Diva's division I thought was going back on the right track with AJ, Beth Phoenix, and Kharma. Beth and Kharma are gone and AJ is now just playing 2nd wheel to *Insert main event superstar*. Now a days it's no longer Diva's, it's girls who can take light bumps.

In the case of divas matches though, it's pretty much the truth. Go back to JBLs commentary during the Layla/Kaitlyn match at Hell in the Cell. It rubbed some people the wrong way, but he was pretty much echoing the popular "reaction" to the divas division these days.

Both of them are obvious exaggerations. Saying anyone on the roster has no fans would be an obvious exaggeration.

An exaggeration used for a different purpose than simply just saying a million instead of a lot.

Are there really that many unanimous opinions among groups of hundreds, thousands, or millions of people? Especially when related to entertainment preferences and not a moral/ethical question?
