Interesting. I hope WWE doesn't end up burying her once again.

Gail Kim basicly was the back bone of the TNA women divition. She and Jackie tore it up with their fued, and she had some cool matchs with Kong. Vince was an idiot to let her go in the first place, but Dixie Carter is a bigger ass for not giving her a raise for all her efforts as a worker. Unfortunetly she will probably be jobbing out to no talent bimbos with in 2-3 months because the new wrestling fans just care about tits and not actual wrestling skill.
Word. Kills me every time I see a diva like Maria beat someone like Victoria. Not that I've seen that exact match or anything. Just using that as an example of Playboy winning out over wrestling talent. 🙄
They allow the real wrestlers to stay around the Women's title. It's usually around Wrestlemania when whatever Diva is featured in Playboy is given an opportunity they don't deserve. Victoria definently should be used better than she is. But you can't really complain with the fueds between Mickie and Beth on Raw and Michelle McCool and Neidhart on Smackdown. Hopefully Gail goes to Smackdown to fued with Neidhart.
I agree, nothing wrong with those feuds. I just tire of Playboy types getting thrust into a championship spotlight they in no way deserve. I understand the marketing strategy behind hiring very attractive females and turning them into wrestlers, but not every one of them is going to magically transform into Trish Stratus. Vince would do well to remember that quality matches week in and week out is also good marketing. Lotta these girls can't deliver, which you and I clearly agree on.
Btw Adam...have you seen the website wrestlinggonewrong.com? It's got some pretty great memorable moments from the worst of wrestling.
Yeah, but Vince has made it clear that he doesn't care for women's wrestling. The divas are there to sell magazines, calendars, and videos. The wrestling is just thrown in for added measure. That's why most matches don't last longer than five minutes, if that. A damn shame, when you consider all the great female wrestlers out on the independant circuit, like SHIMMER.
Just goes to show that I've been right all along, and Vince is a dumb ass. A company with 5 hourse of TV or more a week can put aside a respectable amount of time for good women's matchs. Molly Holly is an example of on of the best ever, and here time in the Stratus Era of wrestling was a golden age for women's wresting. I still remember in the 90's when Jackie "cut" Sable's hair then wore it as a weav on RAW that was awesome shit.
I wish I was dumb enough to make millions of dollars a year.
If you were lucky enough to have a daddy who owned a wrestling company, and ruthless enough to ruin other peoples ability to earn money in the same field you could. Do you think WCW got it's 84 week run because of what they were doing, or because Vince was an arogant jack ass who didn't think anyone could ever touch him as the King Pin of the indastry, success can bread contempt, and thats is Vince's greatest fualt.

5 hours and the majority of the fans dont care about womens wrestling and only want to see "puppies"
Vince made the WWE what it is today. Vince took the ball and ran for touchdown after touchdown. It's not like he sat back and spent what his father made. Vince earned everything he has today. Wrestling isn't perfect at any level but it's not like the WWE is getting everything wrong. And I would say that WCW did get their run because of what they were doing and the fact that it took Vince a little while to catch up to the changing times.
I'm looking forward to this and I hope the WWE focuses more on the Divas who can actually wrestle.

Ya know, the only 'diva' who was worth a shit in the ring was Lita.
And Trish (not when she debuted, of couse, but later on she really became a top-notch female wrestler). And Victoria. And Molly Holly.
Have to admit now that Maria, Candice Michelle, and Melina no longer are worthless but all are at least passable.
