Natalya is pretty much the new Jillian at this point, all she needs to do is try to sing the Canadian national anthem.

As much as everyone is focusing on the garting gimmick, and rightfully so, the fact is that this match came in at a whopping 6 seconds in length, is a complete joke. The total time for her last two match was under 1:30 min. If that doesn't say doghouse, for the best wrestler among the divas, then nothing does.

I'm in kind of an unusual place on this. I agree that what they're doing with Natalya is incredibly stupid, but I also don't particularly like her. Still, if nothing else, have her be losing in matches long enough for it to matter.

My guess is that Vince McMahon is just now watching the last season of Dancing With The Stars, when Nancy Grace farted on the air.

Looks like ODB has competition in the bowel department.

Just to show how crappy the diva's division is, I decided to record the match times for this year. Last year, diva's matches barely went 3 minutes. But now:
Diva’s match times: Raw 1/2/12 – The Bella’s def Eve and Kelly Kelly – 2mins 6secs Smackdown 1/6/12 – Tamina def Natalya – 1min 45secs (Natalya jobber entrance) Raw 1/9/12 – No diva’s match Smackdown 1/13/12 – Tamina def Natalya – 57secs (Natalya jobber entrance) Raw 1/16/12 – Kelly Kelly and Alicia Fox def The Bella’s – 57 seconds Smackdown 1/20/12 – No diva’s match Raw 1/23/12 – No diva’s match Smackdown 1/27/12 – Aksana def Natalya – 7secs (Natalya jobber entrance)
Average Raw match = 1min 32secs Average Smackdown match = 56 seconds Average match = 1min 10secs
Also take into consideration that diva's champion Beth Phoenix hasn't appeared on TV in nearly 6 weeks.

Reading that is depressing as hell. Kharma, hurry up and have the kid! We need you bad!

Shes done,which is a real shame.Shes a fantastic talent but is being completley misused right now.I havent seen much of the divas recently,but what the heck is going on in the division? You had a heel vs heel divas match on Superstars,and another heel vs heel divas match on SD with Tamina running in,who i assume is a heel as well saving Aksana? Natayla being made to look a fool once again,the divas champion not showing up on tv for a long while.Alicia being relegated to NXT,to many heels,lack of match time...so many issues with the division right now.

Awful...look at how far this division has fallen.
This reminds me of an old interview Ivory gave years ago--she said that it was good to work in the ring with Trish Stratus because you knew you'd get 15 minutes for your match.
She was definitely f***ing right.

Why is it always the talented divas they humiliate anyway? Girls like Molly, Natalya, Jillian, Mickie, Victoria etc?
I can't remember any of the useless divas been put into dumb, lame angles like this or constantly made to look like jokes but the talented ones, yeah, happens all the time.
Don't wanna sound like a crazed conspiracy guy or seem like I'm looking too far into this but sometimes I do honestly think that some jerkass in creative has a thing against talented women. Like the women of the WWE can't come across as genuinely excellant wrestlers (in many cases better than half of the men) and so just decides to bury them in the world's lamest and demeaning angles.

So I guess we should call her Fartalya now.... Nah, I'd go with Nasty Neidhart. I do not condone the use of this name, mind you. They could call her uncle Butt "The Shitman" Fart. Reform the FART FOUNDATION!

Yep, this is about as low as it gets for Nattie.

I think you're right. I think there is some sort of sexist disgust that these women want to be actual wrestlers, so they try to make fools of them. It's just backwards.

I REALLY wish people would stop talking about Piggie James like it was some giant burial by the WWE. She squashed LayCool in 20 seconds to win the Womens title before throwing cake at both of them. It was two heels using cheap heat to get over and build sympathy for a babyface diva. Yes, it was tasteless at times, but lets not pretend that Mickie James came out of it looking like s***. She lost the title back to Michelle three weeks later then got released after being pinned by Layla (before she gained credibility) two months later. I'd say it was a Humiliation Conga for Mickie for some bizarre reason. Mickie got about one victory and a few what Id like to tall "standing tall" moments out of the feud. The rest was LayCool pinning/humiliating her over and over and over and over

You know, for all the complaining that we have against this storyline, at least Natalya still gets on TV and is still getting a steady paycheck week after week. It's not like she's out of a job.
Hey, at least there is positivity in all of this, albeit very little.
