Wrestling Fans see NXT and we see how amazing it is. It is a awesome developmental program for the Future of WWE. And when wrestling fans see the women down there, we are in shock. They get so much time and plenty of storyline progression along with character development. We see these girls in NXT get like 20 minutes on their live specials and then we see main roster get like under 10 minutes on PPV. It's not fair. Triple H runs NXT, and we can clearly see that he cares for his talent and invest 150% in the product. So it is mind blowing when I watch NXT an then I see Raw, it's like night and day. How can your developmental territory get more investment than your main roster? We know that the main roster girls can go in the ring. We have amazing talent on the main roster, it is just not utilized. And to be quite honest, we don't know why? We are not trending this to get attention, we are trending this because we know these girls can pull some awesome matches.
Vince McMahon. I, personally, don't know what the problem is. I feel like he played the fans with tweeting "We hear you, stay tuned #GiveDivasAChance". Like we really thought we sparked permanent change, but little did we know it would only last about 1 month. We have tried so hard to get his attention, to try and get something from him. We aren't asking him to make pigs fly, we are asking for some chances to be given. The main roster divas have even voices their concerns through Twitter and interviews, but it seems that it isn't enough. Yes, I and everyone else should be glad that we even get divas on Raw and PPV's, but it goes back to my initial point of Vince settling with his talent. He needs to really work on his product when it comes to the divas.
He needs to start by giving the divas characters first. I am not sure if it is true, but there was a report than Vince said that the divas don't have characters and that they are all crazy, bipolar women. Which I think is ridiculous. This is Sports Entertainment. This is World Wrestling Entertainment. You have to play a character on TV. That is how fans get to know the diva or superstar. That is how the crowd identifies with them. You cant sit there and have all the divas be crazy and bipolar. We cant be having random face and heel turns. That is ridiculous. It goes back to the lack of investment in the women on main roster. They need to have characters, because once they have that down they can bring that to their matches.
The next thing he needs to do is have meaningful storylines. Me as a wrestling fan, I am tired of seeing storylines about caddy crap. We need to have storylines be centered around the championship. That is the ultimate surprise for the women in WWE and it is often treated as a prop. That is a title, not something to carry around. WWE needs to invest more in the title, and make it mean more. Of course, right now we have current Divas Champion Nikki Bella approaching Longest Reigning Divas Champion in less than 80 days and we need that to mean more. WWE isn't investing in storylines that make that title the ultimate goal. We don't care if someone is pale. We don't care if someone is too skinny or too fat. We don't care for the middle school issues to be quite honest. I want to see some girls kick ass in the ring and fight hard for that title, period point blank.
We can trend #GiveDivasAChance all we want. But the one thing we want out of this is permanent change in the division. We have such a good batch of women in WWE right now, and it isn't being showcased because lack of investment. TAKE THE RISKS. TAKE THE OPPORTUNITES. We really want Vince to let his girls go loose. We have girls like Natalya who is arguably the best wrestling in the division and one of the best in the world. She hasn't been utilized to her full potential on the main roster, and if you don't believe me go watch her match with Charlotte at Takeover 2014. We also have girls like the Bella's who have improved like crazy and really want to wrestle more. Yet, they can't because of booking. We also have NXT girls like Summer Rae, Emma, and Paige who can pull out good matches too, but haven't been given the chance too. And speaking of characters, girls like Cameron and Alicia Fox could be great heel character. They just need to be given the chance. I could go on for days about what the divas can bring to the table, but the divas know what they can bring.
Enough is Enough. Vince McMahon we want change. I know for a fact that it doesn't take an arm and a leg to do so. You have a 3 hour Raw, but divas get like 3 minutes? What type of mess is that? I will always be a fan of WWE and everyone in it. I thank Vince for making this company a global franchise, however the man is stubborn. And the creative team definitely needs to be changed. To be honest, the creative team needs to consist of fans of the product and people who actually care for the divas in some aspect. You can tell there is a disconnect between creative and the storylines that are put on TV. Please Vince, we don't know what we have to do in order for you to take this seriously. We ask that you hear us, and FINALLY do what is BEST for BUSINESS!!!
