4. The Champ Is Here...Somewhere
If you told most hardcore fans a year ago that Charlotte would be Divas champion by the end of 2015, theyd probably get excited. So why has it been so lackluster? Because after winning the gold, the focus hasnt even been on her, she continues just to be one of the nine women featured, instead of being built around. Paige is overshadowing her right now, and appearing on a Miz TV segment has yet to do anybody any good. What would have worked better would be to end this ridiculous modern day gang wars, and just have Charlotte run through women like Summer Rae, Emma and Alicia Fox in short, dominating matches. Then, someone like Sasha Banks is built up by running through opponents too, and two eventually have a showdown. Or, they can have Charlotte and Becky walk out on their partner Paige (even though she betrayed them multiple times, they were still idiotic enough to team up with her at MSG Live), who then proceeds to nearly cry post-match and hope that gets people excited. This revolution is the same as the Divas division before, just with new characters and longer matches. The women aren't booked as competitors, they're cast as snippy, catty teenagers. If Charlotte really thinks shes going to main event WrestleMania someday, then she needs to hope that WWE has a new writing staff hired as soon as possible.

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.
