10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Maryse

3. She's A Throwback To The Old Divas' Division

Just as WWE rechristens the horribly sexist and severely outdated 'Divas' Division' to the much more respectable 'Womens' Division', you'd think the company would be doing everything possible to distance itself from the old class. 

Well, it isn't.

They're renewing Total Divas for a start. So long as Total Divas exists, the 'Divas' will exist in order to cross-promote it. And for some reason they'll have to continue wrestling. Some of them might start wrestling! Like Renee Young! At least Nikki Bella had the good grace to suffer a severe neck injury.

And to front this show, WWE have brought back a 'wrestler' who once held the tacky 'butterfly belt' for a record 216 days. Can they avoid mentioning this fact? Or does she exist entirely as 'the Miz's wife'? If we're not expected to remember her for her 'achievements' as a Diva, why is she even there?

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
