I am not against any women's wrestler being "sexy" as long as it's something they're comfortable with.
But I am wholly against "sexy" outweighing ability, which is exactly what the Divas Search promotes.

I would 100% stop watching WWE for good if they brought this back. I barely watch now and have cancelled my Network subscription, but this would be absolutely be the end of it.

I like to think they have a "Diva Search" on RAW and they just have Lita on and hide her somewhere.

No thanks. Not when they're firing like a hundred people over two years.

All I want is for them to bring Eve back.
This thread reminded me of it but that is really my hope for every situation that goes on in the WWE.

I mean they wouldn't call it that...
I wouldn't be as Vehemently against it as some others did... but if it ended with them getting a developmental contract and given time to like... you know... learn... it could lead to some decent women.
That said I'd probably rather they didn't... since historically speaking it's generally gone they get the contract and are immediately put on the main roster and then try and wrestle and it's not good.

I'd be down for a wrestler search, maybe have 10 relative unknowns come up with there own gimmicks over the course of 10 weeks. Least popular gimmicks get voted off.

I would love to see it if only to see them shoot themselves in the foot.

My wife says bring back the Diva Search and add a group of men that have to do the same shit the women do.

Only if they actually did it like a training camp tryout on tv, with the applicants bring actual women wrestlers from the indies and Japan.

If it was like...10 strong athletes from other walks of life competing to be a WWE star, cool. If it's 10 bikini models with no athletic background or understanding of what the business entails, no thanks.
I don't think the WWE Diva Search as it stands would make it to air today. People would have heart attacks and it kind of goes against the brand Stephanie's built for herself, which is probably enough for them not to do it.

Not only do I not want to see a "Diva Search" if it's just Laurinaitis 2.0 "model-actresses" getting half-trained, I suspect that the networks would not want to see it either.
This is the kind of sophomoric-level BS that allowed the indies to really push something different, for TNA to build up on the strength of its women's division, and to send fans to places like ROH and New Japan and giving them enough to allow the cream of the crop to make a living _outside_ WWE.

The very thought that this is something that could actually happen given the braintrust currently in charge of talent relations and creative is so cynical and bleak to me.
It'd be a huge step backwards and a slap in the face to their current female talent and talent that's recently been released.
