Shockingly, it turns out that women can have very good matches when given time to wrestle and tell a story. The Knockouts prove it, the women of NXT prove it, and when given the chance, the divas prove it too. The divas just get less of an opportunity to do so. That's the only real difference.

Pretty much what I said, that the chanting had less to do with the talent of the divas & more to do with the shitty booking they've had for years.

Both are shit, but by virtue of having Gail Kim, I'll give the nod to the Knockouts. Gail's great but her alone is not enough to make up for the talent gap between the two company's female rosters Even not counting NXT WWE has Aj, Paige, Natalya , and Naomi who are capable of having great matches without the crutch of hardcore spots . WWE also has The Bellas, Summer Rae, Layla, and Alicia who are all at least solid in the ring . Outside of Gail TNA only has Havok and Madison who are above average. I personally think Havok is really overrated and most people are just caught up with her "anti-diva" look. Same thing happened with Daffney and Mschif in that they had gimmicks that people liked so their shortcomings as wrestlers were ignored ( Daffney more-so). I also think Gail hasn't really proven she can have a great technical, fast paced, back and forth wrestling match . Honestly the KO's division has never been impressive in terms of technical wrestling or innovation except for 2009 when they had the likes of Hamada, Sarita, Taylor, and Melissa and even then they weren't given much time. Different strokes I guess. Out of the listed WWE divas, I only enjoy Alicia. Naomi and AJ (as a wrestler, as a character she's awful) are just decent to me. I've yet to see the appeal of Paige, and let's just not talk about the Bellas. Gail has always been the one chick who I'll watch no matter what she's doing, best woman's wrestler going IMO.

Gail is someone that is talented but I just don't feel it. Her heel work in TNA is good and better than her face work but just in the ring, I don't feel it. I think it goes back to her original WWE debut and getting hyped as a female Rey Misterio but quite frankly sucking.

I really wished those fans had chanted "better than divas" during the Rebel/Velvet exchanges. If you're going to be smarky, go all the way NY.
