The NXT women's division is hotter than the sand beneath your toes on the beach. The Diva's division is colder than running through your neighbor's sprinkler in December. Right now, the Divas' storylines may have never been worse. Ever! Sure, back in the Attitude Era, feuds would often culminate in bra and panties matches or inside the dangerous confines of a mud pit, but at least we knew who we were supposed to be cheering for! The angles, as stupid as they were, at least made some logical sense. Logic is non-existent in the division today. Nearly every week, The Bellas turn from face to heel without any explanation. Paige tried to rally the troops against them, and then kind of gave up. Nice try? Nobody gets over, and the matches are usually only a couple minutes long. To get things going again, they need some new blood, and they need it now. There's no reason why Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks aren't on the main roster right now (well, besides Lynch's injury). Someone could say they aren't ready, but compared to who? Cameron? Eva Marie? Rosa? These women know how to wrestle, and have put on perhaps the best women's matches in WWE history. Yes, even better than Lita vs. Trish. As we've seen throughout wrestling history, severe injuries can come out of nowhere and derail, or end a career (Daniel Bryan, Corey Graves), so Charlotte, Lynch and Banks don't need to continue risking their bodies if they're ready, which they are. Get these women on Raw and SmackDown, and make the women's matches something to look forward to.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
