That's the writers fault, not the wrestlers. Individually, Charlotte, Becky, Bayley and Sasha piss all over Nikki and certainly Brie in terms of wrestling ability. Would you say they are the least talented on the roster as that poster did? In proportion to their pushes, yes. Eva is less talented, but she's vapour compared to how prominent the Bellas have been.

Sorry to see she's hurt but I'm not missing her.. Her and Brie are far and away the least talented Divas there are and definitely NOT deserving of the crazy pushes they have gotten the last few years. And really the only reason they got the push (When pretty much every other Divas deserved it more) was due to who they are in relationships with or it's that they're extremely marketable, or maybe Cena and Bryan bought their almost 2 million twitter followers for them and pay young girls to cheer for them when they come out (even when they're playing heels), I dunno.

Go with the Luger route Kayfabe knocking people out with the elbow People basically sell like it death anyway. Might as well get a storyline out of it. She hurt herself from regularly giving Cena the 5 Knuckle Shuffle?

True,you just need to apply the calculations When you use the equation of ((Mic Time Mic Skills x Ring Time Ring Skill)xCharisma)+(Safety x Crowd Reaction) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Push Strenght You can see that the Bellas are the worse on the division. THE MATH DOES NOT LIE!

They are marketable because WWE haven't bothered to push anyone else as much. The Bellas have been pushed as the faces of the Divas division especially on Total Divas, so it's natural they'd get the most social media and fan attention. I don't think it's unreasonable to question why they got this sustained push. As far as I can recall, before the Bellas hooked up with Cena and Bryan, they were mostly depicted as sloots who would offer themselves to whoever was guest hosting.

Not necessarily. Roman is getting a push. Who's he dating with influence? Some people simply don't have the factors at play with the Bellas.
No, they are marketable because WWE has chosen them to be marketed, then provided them with the exposure others are denied.
If WWE had created a show on E!, chosen Curtis Axel to front it, then promoted the shit out of it, I might agree.
Again, it's different. They are being sold as the core of the Divas Revolution and an inspiration to women all over the world, even oddly women who oppose them on WWE programming. Why were they selected for this? Their wrestling skills are inferior to other women on the roster and are atrocious on the mic.
Sasha is more popular, but WWE have chosen to kill her heat by marginalising her. On the other hand the Bellas are promoted as heroic, inspirational and brave. If you stop others from gaining momentum, naturally they can't do it.
Yes, Brie had a 70 day reign. That's impressive, except comparable or longer reigns had already been had by Michelle McCool, Maryse, Mickie James, Melina, Eve Torres (x 2), and Nattie. It also further pales in comparison to the push both sisters have received since then. What was the variable? Hmm.

They're pushed as the faces of the division because they're the faces of Total Divas, which in turn is why they're so popular with a certain section of the audience. I guess by proxy who they're dating therefore has a lot to do with it, but I don't see how it's in any way their fault, no one in their position would refuse the opportunities they've been given, and to say they chose their love interests because of their influential positions is disrespectful and ridiculous (especially when you consider where Bryan was at when he started dating Brie). They seem to genuinely work hard and appreciate they're in a position of privilege and they have actually put people over so there's definitely worse people to have as the faces of the division.
The problem is booking, WWE is so confused as to what they want the Bellas to be that there's not a single consistent character trait that can be attached to them. The Bellas have a clear idea of what they want their brand to be and it's at total cross-purposes with the role WWE casts them in, but no one cares enough to either say 'you're supposed to be a heel, be one' or turn them face and properly capitalise on their popularity. They're not the most talented performers in the division and it seems there's still a lot about wrestling they don't grasp even after so long in the business, but WWE could solve most of the problems with the Bellas if they cared even the slightest bit about booking the Divas with strong, clear characters.

Give Nikkisawa an Emerald Flowsion or a Tiger Driver to finish. Simple.

Give Nikkisawa an Emerald Flowsion or a Tiger Driver to finish. Simple. Only if the ghost of Misawa appears to show his approval after she does those moves.
