Eve Torres i can tell she is still green but she has alot of heart and dedicated to learn. Lets just be happy they havn't put the title on Vicky yet.

I think the important point she was making was that there was absolutely no build up or chase to Eve winning the title. She won a number one contender's match (a fucking Dress to Impress Battle Royale, no less), got her shot the very next week, and won. That was it.

Maryse was in the midst of what could have turned out to be a pretty good title run. Maryse is also an interesting character and a pretty good heel. There could have been some excitement generated around her FINALLY getting dethroned, but instead, they just took the title off her in what should have been a throwaway match. Something like that MIGHT have worked better if Maryse had lost to someone who was established and had been a champion before, and that doesn't describe Eve at all. That's not a knock to Eve, but it's true. Eve isn't the worst wrestler ever, but she's still green and has done nothing to make anybody think that she should be a champion besides win a stupid fucking battle royale.

With championships, the excitement isn't in becoming the champion. It's in the chase for the title and the road there. That's where people get over. That match did no favors for Eve, Maryse, or the womens division. Say what you will about Melina in the ring, but it doesn't change her point at all.

I only wonder why she chose NOW to speak out about it when the same thing has been happening in that division for years now. At least on the Raw side. Smackdown's divas seem to have a LITTLE more direction.
