If you look at the Divas in the WWE, and how can you not, they seem to fit a certain look: beautiful, thin, and athletic. The only two who don’t fit the same “diva” body type are Beth Phoenix, from my hometown of Buffalo NY, and recently released Mickie James.
While Beth was called “The Glamazon” due to her larger and more muscular stature, Mickie James was featured in a storyline where two other women mocked her weight. The purpose of that storyline was to really bring the heat to the the female heel team of Lay-Cool, because in fact Mickie wasn’t overweight. She looked great, she just didn’t fit the Barbie Doll mold of the other Divas.
Now TNA has lost several of their Knockouts and you have to wonder if WWE will bring in women who don’t fit the current look of the Diva roster.
Bring Victoria Back!
In TNA she was Tara but everyone still knew she was Victoria. Despite her age of 38, she is a beautiful woman who is in great shape.
Could you imagine the draw the show would get if they actually went with that? How many moms love wrestling?! Tons! Real women watch wrestling, and showing a woman of her age competing hard with the younger crowd would be a great story to use.
I’m slightly biased when it comes to Victoria as she reminds me a bit of my wife (she puts in those red highlights for me.) However, I don’t think I’ll ever look like her favorite, Batista. Sorry, honey.
Roxxi and Taylor Wilde
Two former TNA Knockouts, but to be honest, I’m not a big TNA fan so I can’t recall if I’ve seen them perform. They seem to have that WWE look. Especially Wilde, who looks like TNA’s watered down version of Kelly Kelly, but I’m not sure if we need two more Divas that would just blend into the rest.
Awesome Kong
I’ve seen her perform, and she’s great. She’s a powerhouse who threw around the Knockouts and played to her strength of being a big woman. Even Stone Cold Steve Austin said the WWE should bring her in on his Twitter account.
I was never a fan of her name, though; I find it to be mean. I understand she’s a big woman, but Kong? She should join the Divas and absolutely go after Lay-Cool and bring up the fact that they have an issue with women who aren’t a size one.
We would no doubt have to change her name, not only for copyright purposes but because no woman wants to be known as Kong.
ODB, Jessica Kresa
Though she just recently left TNA, I’ve also seen her perform and I thought she was great. She’s another very real looking woman. She’s strong, attractive, and has that bad girl look to her that would go over great in the Divas division.
Her going against Phoenix would be great, and then if the two of them teamed up as some Amazon team, even better! Heck, give her a name like “Artemis” or some other Goddess warrior.
The gimmick of drinking from a flask and slapping herself in the chest won’t fit in the PG WWE, but that should stay with TNA. Their southern audience might have liked that but we need to bring her to a new worldly level. She’d be a great Divas champion and has huge potential.
It’s said that TNA will probably make a big deal of Mickie James joining TNA and joining the Knockouts. What better way to quell any type of hype that would get by bringing in at least three of their show’s former high profile Knockouts?
WWE, if you’re reading this, we don’t always need pillow fights and bikini contests; have a mix of both and it’s bound to be good.

Gosh it sounds nice to bring some of those names like ODB who has worked with Beth in OVW .I don’t know how they would market a Women like Kong who is at 272 in weight.The women on Raw and SmackDown are supposed to attract the eye as far as beauty.And in-ring ability.And to think about bringing in some one at age 38 that and when WWE is pushing the younger Diva’s like for instance K2.Right now SD is in slow mode with it changing networks OCT 1st.And towards this fall WWE has said they intend to rebuild SmackDown and by that time the “GlamaZon should be close to coming back all fresh from her injury and I am sure ready to tange in the ring with LayCool and regain her Women’s championship for the 4th time.I don’t see how they could accomplish and try and bring over even half of them.Remember they’ve only got 2 2hour shows and 1 hour show So how do you make more time ,when time for the Diva’s is so limited.But is sounds good none the less.
Two things, first, Taylor Wilde is still with tna last I heard, second, Amazing Kong is the name she gave herself & she was known as Awesome on tna, since she named herself Kong I hardly see how she would object to it, but no doubt it would have to get changed for wwe. To say that Victoria/Tara is too old at 38 just shows you haven’t watched her, she is still a VERY attractive women & could wrestle most of the giryl girls out of the building, its insulting to all women to say she’s too old especially when many male wrestlers are in their forties or knocking on the door. ODB’s character could be a great one with just a bit of toning done for the pathetic kiddie rating that wwe has, no more drinking (unless it’s water) or crotch grabbing but other than that she would make a great tag team partner for Beth or Natalya. It’s rubbish to say they couldn’t fit them in, at one time and on just one show, raw, they had SEVEN women Trish, Lita, Victoria, Molly, Gail, Stacey, Jazz who were all involved in storylines & matches at any given time, having 6 or 7 women wrestlers on both shows would work especially if the wwe admitted that the Bellas & Rosa should be nothing more than valets, KK & Alicia are borderline in the ring & unless they really improve really quickly should also just be valets & only wrestle if the real wrestlers are unavailable thru either storyline injury or real injury. BRING IT, I say !!!!!
Many thanks for this amazing article, I will certainly attach this website to my rss feeds, a friend just informed me about this yesterday. this is the best
Indeed smackdown is need more divas not one diva because there is no active divas in the show Except Michelle, Layla, Tiffany and maybe kelly ; now mickie james released & beth phoenix is in injury and rosa mendes should be released because she is Useless and this four active divas are not powerful enough that means the wwe is want more than one diva and in my opinion they should take :
1-Victoria
she was in the wwe at the last time not powerful but until she went to tna she became very powerful diva and she is now with all the Specifications and when she left wwe she was feud with michelle and it will be right if she return.
2-ODB
i think she left tna for the same thing in my opinion she want to go to wwe and if she return she will make a feud with victoria and it will be very good.
3-Awesome Kong.
she said that if the wwe accept her body type she will sign with them and in my opinion she will be ally with ODB against Victoria until beth return and will team with victoria.
and about sarita & taylor wilde they are like kelly kelly & tiffany and it wont be awesome thing if they come back and until now they still in tna
thats my opinion and Lay-Cool should be out of the smackdown storyline few moths.
