The girl genuinely *tried* to get better and seemed like she really enjoyed being there during her tenure. For those reasons, I never fully understood the venom towards her She relied on her looks (lord knows she's been the only one) not Steamboat in the ring, and she seemed rather dim. Mind you, that's not me saying it, or even the IWC but right here on this forum I recall her being chastised often for appearing like a mindless Barbie doll. I feel she could be good for PR, merchandise, angles, just keep her away from in-ring work.

The phrase "'member" is the only good thing to come from that last season of South Park.

As long as she stays backstage and I'm not forced into a position where I have to see her open her mouth for non-sexual uses, she can do whatever she wants. Not even joking, I see you post something like this again, I will ban you on the spot. Take your sexist trash elsewhere.

lets get real, unlike other former divas, kelly kelly NEVER did any indie wrestling bookings at all, so she has ring rust as hell, and do you want to see Bayley, Becky, Alexia all job to her amazing roll up? it will be counter productive to what womans wrestling is all about now

Met her before a show and she was really nice and seemed to appreciate the spot she was given. Seemed like a genuinely nice person.
On that alone I have no problem with her being back, hope it works out for her.

She's in the same boat as the Bellas and the other diva search girls, they had them learn to wrestle on the job which is inexcusable. She could have become a decent hand given how she supposedly had a great attitude about things, but she needed more training than she got before reaching TV.

True, but at least the Bellas showed signs of.. I don't know, something, earlier on. Not instant-piss break quality. Kelly never showed any promise, in my eyes. It was a guaranteed 1/10.

We also got Emma, Naomi, Alexa, Nikki, Nia Jax, Asuka, Ember etc... Alicia Fox, Paige, Mickie James, Carmella, Dana, Summer Rae, etc. The women's division is pretty strong that there is even an natural balance of the ones who aren't so good in the ring shine really well with personalities and characters like Bliss/Rae/Carmella/Dana/Alicia Fox/etc. Alexa Bliss is probably the most popular and beloved girl here and she sometimes seems lost in the ring or below someone's level but she expresses herself better than the other women in the company. I always found The Four Horsewomen narrative to be forced and condescending. Like no one else matters but us. Which was especially with annoying because you also had Emma, Paige, and Rae who were massively popular or tearing it up in NXT and you had AJ Lee, Naomi, Nikki Bella, Alicia, Kaitlyn, and other's who are good or aren't bad at all. Hell I like how they've been incorporating that into wrestling storylines with Alexa Bliss or Mickie James hating that term. Edit: Oh and that clique name was just lame and unoriginal. It just screams HHH and his 70/80's NWA lust and how he and Steph are the totally awesome true saviors of women's wrestling worship us. Like if he really was the savior kudos to him but I just can't stand his I'm the coolest boss in the world persona worship all the things I do while I heavily market it towards you. I always hated the Four Horsewomen name and concept, just because it always felt like a nagging reminder that Charlotte is only there because of who her father is. I love Sasha, I love Bayley, I even like Becky, but IMO Charlotte will never be as good as the brass thinks to warrant her booking and her adulation. To that end, the fact that she'll probably be a sixteen-time champ her damn self by the end of the year ain't lost on me.

Literally two things I remember about her run:
1) That shrieking during her spinning headscissor thing
2) That time Kane kidnapped her because he wanted the booty, but she was all "No, I'm banging Orton", leading to an Orton/Kane match where Kane lost to a dropkick.

Seeing how much I feel that the women's division on the main roster has progressed in her absence, I really don't want her back at all. I feel like if they did bring her back, put her in the ring, and made her the focal point of the division again, it would hamper the progress that was made on the main roster women's division in the last year or so. It would feel like they'd be taking two steps back from the one step forward that has been made in the last year or so as well.

Well, this thread went places quickly. Not good places, mind. I noticed this a lot lately. The last 6 months have gotten really bad where almost every thread I go in people are fighting. If you see something you do not like scroll past it simple as that. I think there would be less drama and a more pleasant forum. if people ignored things they did not like and respected others opinions even if they do not agree with it. just my two cents

Rumour going around now is that she's signed a contract and will be going to the performance center soon, with the aim to be back on TV by summer. Terrible news if true.
Kelly stood out as being bad when there were numerous women with not much experience. Now there's so much talent, she is going to be completely outclassed, and even the less experienced women (like Alexa or Carmella) make up for their shortcomings in areas Kelly was also dreadful in. While true she didn't spend long at OVW before hitting the main roster, women like Candice Michelle, Layla and Eve Torres didn't go to development either (they all learnt to wrestle on the road or during their down time) and they were all much better than Kelly. Kelly definitely had some enthusiasm and potential around '08, but it never amounted to anything; her ring work got worse and she couldn't act or cut a promo. I always thought she'd be perfect for promotional stuff at the time. She's the typical All American, blonde, girl next door type; make her a valet, put her on posters and send her to do tv and radio interviews. She'd be great at that. She comes off as quite charming in that video in the OP. Her problem is, when given a script, she sounds like a robot, and she just didn't have enough talent in the ring to be a star in the division.
Now? I just don't see what purpose she could serve in today's roster. Mickie fit right back in; she already had talent, and she had no ring rust due to staying active in TNA and the indies. Kelly's coming back after years away, with minimal talent to start with. There are so many women signed who are all so much better than her. Womens JTTS? I guess that would be the best use for her. Maybe she'll come back and really have a fire lit under her, and actually develop into something decent. Unlikely, but who knows...
Will she be part of the rumoured Past vs Present Women's Wrestlemania match (is that gonna be the new "Sid is returning" story that gets said every year until it's true?). She doesn't fit into Mickie's narrative, because who the heck did Kelly Kelly lead the way for? I was hoping for Victoria, Jazz, Melina or Beth Phoenix. Kelly isn't a step down from them, she's on a whole different staircase.

She couldn't wrestle, couldn't cut a promo to save her life, and always had a dull, vacant look on her face.
So naturally they hired her.

Yet she was oddly naturally more over than Eve (before she friendzoned Ryder which is the most evil act of 2011), Michelle McCool, maybe Layla and other more talented women than her. Like the one that has always been glanced over or lost in the translation was she always got more consistent and louder pops than most women at the time. Like she was definitely over with the casual crowd. Honestly she's still young enough to retrain and she did have some good athleticism so why not? Put her in the performance center and see what happens. Worst case scenario she gets The Drifter or Eva Marie levels of heat which is good because nobody really gets heat in Full Sail
