10 WWE Superstars Who Are Totally Underutilised

1. The Entire €˜Divas€™ Division

WWE.comWWE.comAh, the WWE Divas. At the start of the PG era, WWE seemed, at last, to be maturing a little in its attitude to women. However, this apparent turnaround was fairly short-lived. Now, instead of stripper/bra and panties/bikini contests/€™first one to get their nips out wins€™ matches, we get bratty, catty WWE Divas sniping at each other in a childish manner that wouldn€™t be out of place in an episode of Hannah Montana. In today€™s WWE, few women are allowed gimmicks or characters of any kind and they all have to have one-word ring names that tell you nothing about them. Basically, the entire division reeks of squandered talent. Sure, the WWE Divas Championship has moved up the card in recent years, but the matches are almost always less than five minutes€™ long. This gives nobody the chance to improve or get a storyline over. There are few, if any, vignettes announcing big Divas matches and the whole division appears to exist as some sort of ham-fisted exercise in political correctness on the part of a WWE eager to clean up its formerly salacious image. However, AJ Lee is routinely excellent (and innovative) in the ring and the rise of Paige has been nothing short of a revelation. In addition to those two, there are quite a lot of talented females on the WWE roster. My point is, that if you are going to put these women on the card €“ and pay them to wrestle €“ you could at least try and make their matches, characters and storylines interesting. The WWE Divas division, then, is in desperate need of a complete overhaul. With Paige leading the charge, the division should be holding longer matches, with better booking, longer build up and more promotion. The WWE Divas€™ Championship should be a major career accolade, not a minor belt that few, if any, fans are positioned to care about. So, in the words of Forrest Gump €˜that€™s all I have to say about that€™. Got any ideas on who else might be being underused by the WWE (and how that situation might be improved)? If so, you might let me know in the €˜comments€™ section below... - CQ
