Inspired by the 'not talking like a real person' thread where many of the Divas came in for most of the criticism. So, who is the *best* talker?
People seemed to be of the opinion that Sasha wins hands-down but I'm not too sure, she's the best overall at carrying herself like a star and totally drawing you in to her gimmick, but that's more her physical mannerisms than her speaking (and the fact she's just come from NXT where women are allowed to *have* consistent characters). There was a time in NXT when she'd got the whole 'Boss' thing down pat in terms of her physical charisma but her promos were still very wooden, she's improved since then but I'm not sure she's the best.
I don't really get the hate for Paige, aside from her constantly fluctuating accent and the played-out worked shoot promos (neither of which she has chosen to have/do), I think she's pretty believable. Naomi was surprisingly good when they were pushing her in the months after Mania and actually gave her something to sink her teeth into for once, Alicia has cut loads of great promos in app segments and the like but rarely gets to on TV, Summer Rae is awesome when she gets the chance to be, it's a tough call.

Sashs wins this hands down. I just can't even think of anyone else who's able to compete although Summer's second on the list.

Sasha's my choice. Out of all of the women on this list, Sasha is the one that really draws me in when she's talking.

Sasha.
Paige has gotten considerably better since her heel turn though.

I never thought I'd vote for a Bella but out of this current bunch...at least Nikki comes off as passable. Sasha Banks...lol! I have bad 1992 flashbacks whenever she talks. So dated and corny. Of course...that "boss" gimmick is hokey and corny itself which explains everything. The other women are horrible as well. At least Nikki Bella comes as close to you can get when it comes to sounding somewhat normal.

Sasha, Summer and Lana are all pretty good. Sasha being way above Summer and Lana though.
Becky is pretty great too, though that may just be my love for her puns.

Summer Rae is highly underrated on the mic.
Go look up her NXT work.

Sasha... but then that's like being crowned the world's tallest midget considering her competition is Paige, Charlotte and Nicki.

random garble My favorite talker right now is Nikki. Ever since she turned heel I thought she has been doing good work and has improved from where she was. I think she is the most consistent right now(and at a area i like), where I find a lot of the other girls can range from good to bad depending on the segment. I really don't like Charlotte's random shouting of words, but I honestly really like her talking when she is crying/voice is cracking. I think she sounds a lot better during those moments then when she is trying to sound angry/authoritative(?). I thought Becky was terrible on the mic after that Miz TV segment, but I've been liking her backstage segments lately. I think she pulls of the "hurt friend" angle pretty while and is sympathetic. Hopefully she can bring that to live segments. I'd consider paige one of the most inconsistent girls. One week I can find myself enjoying her talk and the next I can just hate what's coming out of her mouth. For Naomi, this is actually her year first year she has gotten such a chance to talk. When she turned heel, she improved from where she was earlier in the year during her Miz/Jimmy storyline. I feel like she regressed with Team Bad, but has potential. For example @ 4:40 on www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7i-YJlZrXEoh, I didn't see Summer Rae on the poll cause I lumped her together with Steph/Lana. She might actually be the best mic worker instead of Nikki. I'll be biased though and not change my vote, plus I have enjoyed more Nikki segments. Only detraction I can think of is that the voice she puts on sometimes is a bit much for me. I just don't get the praise putting Sasha's mic work head and shoulders above the rest of the women. She is right around the level of everyone else. In NXT they have consistent and stronger characters, but I don't see the mic work being any better than the MR level. Alica seems to focus too much on saying things correctly nowadays after she fumbled a few words in her early career. I think she is more comfortable in backstage segments. I thought Natalya was good during her feud with Laycool, but I can't recall the last time she got a live mic segment. She is decent/good in the backstage segments she gets. Brie ranges between serviceable to give the microphone to Nikki.
