@Cool King:
True, but they may be looking back to the days where they had 8 on 8 Divas tag matches and only 3 of them got any ringtime... one being in there only to break up the first pin attempt. They want to return the division to such dizzying heights!
And in general, the "answer to the solution" is pretty often right in front of them. On a lot of things. For example, if they lose a major heel to injury, they won't be like "Okay, Dolph: step up!" and then prop someone up to be in Dolph's position, they'll try to build a guy out of nowhere and likely have it blow up in their face because he got a huge reaction ONE TIME and sucks ass subsequently while leapfrogging Dolph and making him disgruntled about it. Then, say, Ziggles gets sick of that shit and walks away... now they have an injured heel, a guy who quit, and a prospect that didn't work out and they'll scratch their heads going "oh, what the fuck do we do now?" instead of taking the path of least resistance.
I believe what Heyman said about Punk on the DVD is true of a lot of talent WWE aquires: that get tremendous buzz, but WWE doesn't see what to do with them. They just keep them around so that they aren't making money for someone else. They can't keep crying that they want to rebuild the Diva's division, yet keep driving away talent like a Beth Phoenix or a Gail Kim with lack of use.
You can say "people don't care about women's wrestling" all you want, but if WWE really wanted to make people care and got behind it, people would care BECAUSE WWE got behind it and made people care. TNA proved that shit could work. WWE even proved that shit could work when they brought in Kong and everyone in the arenas went nuts not because she was hot or anything-we know she would NEVER be a Maxim Girl- but because they wanted to see her kill bitches in a gladatorial feeding frenzy. And she was supposed to be coming in as a monster heel. Unfortunate her life took the turn it did. But even if it didn't... how long would that run have last? I mean, who's to say they wouldn't have shelved her in a couple months and put her in the same boat of disuse that Natty and Tamina seem to "enjoy" right now?
