What I don't get is why they even bother with having a women's division when it's patently obvious to anyone with a pulse that they clearly don't give two s***s about it. As Soundwave so perfectly summed it up, THE CHAMPION OF THE DIVISION isn't even on TV, nor has she been since...when? Weeks ago? And even when Beth/Nattie were actually in matches 4/5 ended with one of them getting rolled-up by KellBot or Eve "ACTING!" Torres. I guess they somehow feel obligated to toss them out there to be role models. Because this is what all girls should strive to be: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtcBtLCmLCM#t=6m50sWWE: We're all about equality.

A healthy, trained, capable, and safe performer being instructed to participate in a storyline that trades off the potential of a wrestling match for lowbrow humor that would shame even the laziest sitcom is nothing new for WWE, but I have to confess that I find this especially contemptible.
Forget the question of where Natalya should rank in The Grand List Of The Greatest Wrestlers Ever Which Cannot Be Revoked, Even Questioned. She's good at the primary requirement of her job (wrestling). She's also a promising example of a female wrestler who's less interested in shaking ass and more interested in kicking it. The poorest student in the most soporific creative writing workshop with no prior knowledge of pro wrestling could be given a single-sentence description of Natalya, and would still be able to provide a better angle than this tripe.
It gives the writer in me some wry comfort to know that there is precedent for hacks this hackish to collect a paycheck for their hackishness, but damn. Just, damn. What a waste.

After watching it, I'm still wondering what was going on with Natalya deciding, after the bell rings, to turn her back on her opponent and yell at the ramp for some reason.

Honestly if you look at the options Nattie has their are few
TNA- Best choice because the Knockouts are featured in matches longer than two minutes, and have storylines Shimmer- If she chooses to go to the Indies all women matches for the most part ROH- If rumors are true and they start a women's division what a good place to start Chikara- She could find something to do there Those at least to me are her best choices if she either quits or is released

Although if I had a choice between being off TV and getting a farting gimmick, I'm not sure what I'd pick.

The Hart Dynasty, or Canadian Bulldogs, or whatever they'd call them would be awesome going up against the Motor City Machine Guns. Plus, Natalya in the Knockouts Division would be really good.

If ROH and TNA were smart they would build strong and serious women's divisions (keep Russo away from it, otherwise they'll always be calling each other skanks), to offer people an alternative to the toilet humour comedy act that WWE's divas division is.

Poor Natalya. Being a great female technical wrestler is the kiss of death in that company.
Seriously, I'd put her up against Sara Del Rey as one of the most talented female wrestlers in the world, like, when you watch her, she's crisp on everything she does. Excellence of execution if you will. And that's what they've reduced her to. She's one of the best on the roster, male or female.

It gives the writer in me some wry comfort to know that there is precedent for hacks this hackish to collect a paycheck for their hackishness, but damn. Just, damn. What a waste. I agree with pretty much everything you said. I love Beth, but she isn't a better wrestler than Natalya is (not that she's being used anymore either since Alicia killed her face). It's really sad that they have completely butchered the division, while using Kharma's pregnancy, McCool's retirement and Layla's injury as an excuse, when they have two incredibly talented divas (Beth and Natalya), several ones that aren't used to their actual talents (Eve, AJ, Naomi, Raquel Diaz). Anyways, back to the point of Natalya, she's the best in the ring in the WWE, she's perfectly fine on the mic (at least, it's not like anyone is good diva wise at this point sans Layla), she has charisma, and she's shown the ability to get over before. I just don't understand why they're doing this to her (and Tyson Kidd too) when they're on good terms with Bret Hart and everything, when Natalya has never seemed to piss anyone off before. It's stupid, and easily one of the more annoying things WWE has done in a long, long time.

BTW, I remember an ex-WWE diva who posted that story that she farted on another wrestler's face while travelling with him. Can|'t recall who though.

Basically on Smackdown this week she farts in a backstage segment. It apparently smells bad because Teddy Long and Aksana overreact and then Santino almost passes out. Later when she's in the ring Josh suggests she has been eating beans. No, I'm not sure why either. Wow...I'd say that WWE "Creative" is as smart as 12 year old boys, but heck, I'm not sure...

This is just Vince getting back at all you jerks for calling Kelly Kelly a robot for years. Now you get to deal with every little Jimmy calling Nattie a farter. Deal with it.
