Anyone who still sits and watches RAW or SmackDown Live has definitely had the time to sit and think about why some of the wrestlers on the shows are even there. And they've thought about how some of the stars who have been let go definitely need to be brought back. Pretty well anyone who has watched any WWE wrestling show has had their frustration with wrestlers they do or don't have.
This is huge when it comes to the Divas Division. They've let go of some smoking hot and very talented wrestlers and replaced them with lesser talent in some cases. Imagine if you could build your own Diva team from a selection of the women through WWE's history. How well would you do? Would you be an awesome WWE General Manager? Or would you just be plain awful?
Well, now is your chance to scroll through some of the Divas from the past and present of the company to see just who you would decide to hire or fire to build your dream team for the WWE Diva Division. Will you just choose the most smoking hot? Or will you base it on how much they've accomplished in the company? Or will it just be because of actual wrestling talent?
Would You Hire Or Fire Vickie Guerrero?
Vickie Guerrero was involved, on camera, with the WWE for almost 10 years. She was all over the place. She worked as a wrestler, a manager, an announcer, and even lover of several wrestlers (at least for story purposes). She is the widow of WWE superstar Eddie Guerrero who always brought some "Latino Heat" to the ring. Vickie was always a force to be reckoned with. She wouldn't take no for an answer when she wanted something, and she would try and shut everyone up with her catchphrase "Excuse Me".
Would You Hire Or Fire Torrie Wilson?
Torrie Wilson spent damn near 10 years with the WWE, but a lot of people might not recall all of that. She didn't always have the best story lines to play around with. Her biggest one probably had to do with her feud with Dawn Marie. And if you're asking yourself who that is, then you've proven the point. That aside, Wilson has been a memorable diva of the WWE thanks to a couple of Playboy spreads back in the day. She even graced the cover of the mag with Sable once. Some people would hire her just based on that sort of info alone.
Would You Hire Or Fire Sunny?
Sunny was a very popular diva who was always in love with superstar Shawn Michaels. That being said, things never seemed to work out for the two of them. This could have something to do with the number of other stars she had fun with in the locker rooms. Either way, she was a huge fan favourite for a long time. She started back in 1993 and is still working in the independent circuit. Of course, most fans would probably know her now because of her appearance in some naughty films. But, she's still going strong in the wrestling world, one way or another.
Would You Hire Or Fire Summer Rae?
Summer Raw started her career with the WWE in 2011. She is probably best known for two things now. First, for working as the dance partner of Fandango for a time (before he started his tag team with Breeze). And now, Rae is definitely known for her time as one of the cast members of Total Divas. She hasn't gone away, but she's not dancing around or in the ring much at all anymore. That's not to say that she doesn't still fetch ratings for the company though. After all, it's difficult for the company to lose with a pretty face.
Would You Hire Or Fire Stephanie McMahon?
Stephanie McMahon started her WWE career back in 1998. That means that, as of this coming summer, Stephanie will have been in the company for 20 years. Of course, it definitely helps that her daddy was the owner of the company all that time so it's not like she had to do much work to get the initial gig. Either way, she's been part of some pretty varied story arcs. From being kidnapped by The Undertaker for sacrifice to becoming the Commissioner of RAW (and marrying Triple H in between), Stephanie has worked her way up the ladder).
Would You Hire Or Fire Stacy Keibler?
Stacy Keibler was only a part of the WWE for about seven years. She came back to help on the show Tough Enough after a few years away, but her time was fairly short. While she was working in the ring though, people could not take their eyes off of her. She was a football cheerleader before she joined the WWE, so she was both fit and very capable of moving. In fact, she took her leave from the company to join up with Dancing With The Stars. Keibler placed third in the competition which backed up her pride in her dance background.
Would You Hire Or Fire Sherri Martel?
Sherri Martel started her wrestling career back in the 70's. She didn't make it to the WWE until the 80s, but she definitely made the work her life. Apart from actually getting down and dirty in the ring, she also managed superstars like The Mach Man Randy Savage and The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase. She even managed to throw in a feud with Shawn Michaels at one point. Of course, being a wrestling personality in that era often led people to all sorts of drug abuse, and then that is how Martel met her end. But she still managed about 20 years with the WWE.
Would You Hire Or Fire Trish Stratus?
Six years in the business, Trish Stratus became a superstar as well as an icon for women in the business. That being said, she's definitely had her pretty sad moments. Does anyone remember when she was made to strip and bark like a dog for Vince McMahon? She's at least loyal as a staff member, if nothing else. Now, she runs a yoga studio and still promotes herself as one of the best WWE divas to have ever entered the ring. But it's up to you to decide if she is Stratus-factory to make your WWE roster.
Would You Hire Or Fire Sasha Banks?
Sasha Banks is fairly new to the company. And by fairly new I mean that she's not quite hit that 10 year mark yet. But that doesn't fully matter. She's still managed to make a decent splash. She's had a pretty lengthy feud with the queen of the WWE, Charlotte Flair making them the first women to headline a WWE pay-per-view (though that feud did go on a little too long). Aside from that, she isn't just a pretty face. She also can wrestle. A couple of fun facts: her real first name is Mercedes, and she's a cousin to Snoop Dogg.
Would You Hire Or Fire Sable?
Before making your decision about Sable you have to remember at least one thing...she's married to Brock Lesnar. Which could mean that you'd end up with a beast on your hands if you didn't hire her. That being said, both of them have become fairly washed up. Sable hasn't been with the company for some time but once the Attitude Era was over, her spotlight went out. A lot of her character hinges on being right on the edge of what's appropriate for tv. She's had some historical evening gown matches and bikini competitions.
Would You Hire Or Fire Paige?
Fun fact: Paige's actual name is Saraya-Jade Bevis. Very different from her stage name. Either way, if you're new to wrestling you might not know much about her other than the fact that she was put on leave because of taking drugs that went against the Wellness Program the WWE has in place. And the company was a little upset with her about the leaked videos that came out with her having fun with a couple of her WWE co-stars. Though it seems likely that boyfriend Alberto Del Rio was more upset than the company.
Would You Hire Or Fire Nikki Bella?
Nikki Bella has made a ton of money for the WWE. That is certain. She is one of the reasons that the Total Divas show exists and she is one of only two reasons why Total Bellas exists. Considering that she hasn't wrestled in a very long time, it's amazing how much money she still makes for the company. Her place seems to be "reality" tv. She and her sister Brie started their career in the "reality" tv world before they hit the WWE. She's a good face for the company, but you have to decide if she's worth the money.
Would You Hire Or Fire Natalya Neidhart?
Natalya used to be one of the biggest and best trainers that the WWE had for female wrestlers. Growing up as a part of the Hart family foundation, she was basically raised to be a wrestler from the very start. That being said, she's had some pretty silly story arcs. I mean sure, Owen Hart had that Blue Blazer and the whole "nugget" thing. But Natalya had a gimmick where she would randomly fart at awkward moments during interviews and promos. It was weird. So, there is definitely a balance with this one. She's a great wrestler, but can she play the role?
Would You Hire Or Fire Mickie James?
Mickie James has been in the business for a decent amount of time now. She was a pretty big deal when she started out, but Vince McMahon went out of his way to start calling her "Piggy James". He even wrote this into a storyline where a number of the other divas would shove cake in her face and make fun of her weight. By the way, Mickie James was not all that big and hardly put on weight. Chyna was bigger. Nia Jax was much bigger. She probably just said no to Vince. Either way, she left because of this...only to come back last year to go back to putting the beat down on divas.
Would You Hire Or Fire Michelle McCool?
It might not seem like it by the picture, but Michelle McCool started out her wrestling career in the WWE with a teacher gimmick. That lead to the great catchphrase "gonna take them to school". Of course, if she was a good teacher, she wouldn't say "gonna", but that's besides the point. In spite of that ridiculous yet hot gimmick, McCool has broken some ground as a WWE diva, especially given the fact that she was the very first WWE Diva Champion. Michelle's Laycool team partner, once they split up, beat her in a "loser leaves WWE" match
Would You Hire Or Fire Maryse?
Maryse has been all over the WWE. She's worked as an announcer, a manager, and a wrestler and not in that specific order. In actual fact, she was a wrestler first. She was even a Diva Champion. The interesting thing about this though is that no one really bothers to think about all of the work she's done in the ring or at the table at ringside. No, people typically know her and appreciate her for being The Miz's Hollywood bride. She does a lot less talking now, and pretty well no wrestling at all (other than to help The Miz cheat).
Would You Hire Or Fire A.J. Lee?
A.J. Lee is probably one of the most insane female wrestlers to have ever stepped into the WWE ring. It's pretty incredible just how nutty she was. Unfortunately, thanks to the way that the company treated WWE superstar CM Punk, Lee left to support her boyfriend, rather than stick around to see how much further she could push her character's limits. She was originally known as Dolph Ziggler's main squeeze, but she very quickly found her own footing as a pretty formidable diva opponent and eventually Diva Champion. So, it all depends on how much crazy you can handle.
Would You Hire Or Fire Alexa Bliss?
Alexa Bliss is only working on her fifth year as a wrestler in the WWE. She spent a decent amount of time wrestling for NXT before making the move to the big company and she immediately was a hit. She has been champion on both RAW and Smackdown. It's too bad that she has yet been able to take on Charlotte Flair to see who the best Diva Champion truly is. A few fun facts: she was heavily involved in kick-boxing, cheerleading, gymnastics, and body-building. Basically, that just means that she is at least physically fit for the job if nothing else.
Would You Hire Or Fire Aksana?
Aksana's real name is Živilė Raudonienė. She is a Lithuanian who definitely knew that American audiences wouldn't be able to say her name. Very clever of her. She started her career as a bodybuilder at the pretty young age of 16. She has won medals all over the place and was the youngest person (at the time) to enter the Arnold Classic Contest. She debuted in the WWE in 2011...but was released from the company in 2014. She had a very interesting and dark quality to her character, but I don't think that was any direction the company was going in at the time.
Would You Hire Or Fire Bayley?
Bayley was one of the more popular divas this past year. She's dwindled a bit though since her championship reign came to an end. But, she still gives little girls the hope that they too can become a wrestler in the WWE. And considering that there wasn't much of a young girl viewership before Bayley showed up to work, she has been pretty good at building up a good fanbase. Her gimmick is incredibly annoying though. And her whole optimistic outlook really does end up giving little girls false hope. Not that they know it yet...
Would You Hire Or Fire Alicia Fox?
Victoria Elizabeth Crawford...that's Alicia Fox's real name. It's a bit of a stretch, but I guess there are some people who really don't want to bring their work home with them. She is currently the longest working female performer, having started with the company back in 2006 and making the main roster in 2008. Her very first gimmick was working under the persona of a wedding planner. There have been some pretty ridiculous back stories of WWE characters...but a wedding planner? I guess she knows how to get other people to do her work for her under intense stress at least. Either way, Fox became the first and only African-American Diva Champion ever in the WWE...and now works on Total Divas.
Would You Hire Or Fire Becky Lynch?
Becky Lynch actually became SmackDown's very first Women's Champion. She spent a lot of her early career wrestling in Germany where she caused damage to one of her cranial nerves. She took several years off from wrestling and went straight from the lower-rung wrestling circuit straight to the WWE. That's a pretty decent way to make a comeback after a recovery. Wrestling all over Europe to land in NXT and then to make it on to SmackDown is pretty damn good. She's not as big a deal lately though.
Would You Hire Or Fire Brie Bella?
The naturally hotter of the two Bella twins. Brie definitely has lost a lot of the spotlight because of her twin sister Nikki. This has probably more to do with the fact that Nikki is engaged to John Cena and made a big scene about it at WrestleMania, while Brie Bella quietly got married to WWE superstar Daniel Bryan. The Bellas worked very well together as a tag team and had some awesome synchronized moves (not to mention their constant switching in singles matches to cheat a victory...harder to do now with Nikki's...enhancements).
Would You Hire Or Fire Beth Phoenix?
Beth Phoenix put in her time to rack up more than 10 years of work in the WWE and then took her leave. That's a pretty decent run time. Just enough to make a good career, but not too much that you can no longer walk when you hit 40 years old. Phoenix was known as the Glamazon. She was definitely jacked and built to beat people down. But she dressed in flashy Amazonian-style outfits, which made her really unique while she was with the company. Pushing the Amazon angle, she accepted a challenge from Santino and won...but then they had a rematch and became a couple in the middle of the grapple.
Would You Hire Or Fire Charlotte Flair?
Here's the thing...I'm not sure you could get away with firing Charlotte Flair even if you wanted to simply because she's the daughter of legendary Ric Flair. However, if you wanted to, this is your chance to choose. She is known as the queen of the WWE and has been a frequent and long-reigning Diva Champion. She can be very whiney, but she definitely has skill in the ring as both a personality and a wrestler. The funny thing is that she acts like a princess but reigns like a queen. That's a lot of personality to deal with.
Would You Hire Or Fire Candice Michelle?
After 13 years of wrestling, Candice Michelle only just retired this past year. She was trained by some pretty big names like CM Punk, Trish Stratus and everyone's least favourite John Cena. Michelle is known as the Go Daddy Girl outside of the WWE and is definitely known for showing off her body in Playboy and a few other places. Michelle made a pretty decent splash given that when she won her first Diva Championship she was the very first diva from the WWE Diva Search to have ever managed to win the belt.
Would You Hire Or Fire Chyna?
First of all, let's assume that we're in a fictional realm where Chyna is still alive to either hire or fire. Then you can go from there. Chyna was one of the biggest divas to hit the WWE. Big in two different ways. She was very popular and she was huge! She even competed in men's matches to take the I.C. championship belt for her own. She had a hilarious and pretty silly story relationship with Mark Henry back in the day, but she was better known for her time with DX. She was a force to be reckoned with but drugs took her down eventually.
Would You Hire Or Fire Christy Hemme?
Christy Hemme only wrestled for about five years. She started her early career as a model, so that might have something to do with it. That's not to say that she was useless as a member of the WWE team. She was still working as a ring announcer and interviewer until 2016. She even managed a small stint as a musician while she was still wrestling in the ring. Once she was out of the company, she appeared on Family Feud with a bunch of former stars, including (sadly) Mic Foley and RVD. She's definitely diverse in her work.
Would You Hire Or Fire Eve Torres?
Eve Torres is an interesting WWE diva. She only spent six years wrestling for the company, but she used that greatly to her advantage. She has since made a decent career working in film and tv. She also still technically works for the company as an ambassador. She also will make an occasional appearance on the company shows as well, just to remind people that she's a part of the WWE universe. In addition to all of the work she's doing now, she rounded off her ability in the ring and in promos with an early career in modelling and dancing.
Would You Hire Or Fire The Fabulous Moolah?
Fabulous Moolah is definitely dead now, but imagine that you had the chance to keep her on the roster or not. It's all up to you. Moolah made her WWE debut back in 1949. She retired officially in 2004 only three years before her death. At one point, Moolah held the Women's Championship belt for 10 straight years! If you think it was easily won, think again. She won the belt by competing in a 13-woman Battle Royal. That's a pretty nutty way to win a belt. That's something you don't see too often anymore among the Diva Division.
Would You Hire Or Fire Ivory?
Technically, Ivory's time with the world of wrestling was a 30-year stretch, but it's not like she was always active as a wrestler or a personality all that time. That's still a pretty impressive career span though, but nothing like Moolah's 55-year career. Ivory was one of the few female wrestlers who ever made a point of being a little more conservative and holding back from showing off so much of her body. She was well known for managing D'Lo Brown and Mark Henry. She also was a trainer on Tough Enough and a host for WWE Experience.
Would You Hire Or Fire Kaitlyn?
Kaitlyn seems like a pretty boring name for a WWE diva, doesn't? Especially if you know her actual name. Celeste Beryl Bonin. That's a pretty awesome name. Either way, Kaitlyn only worked the WWE for four years. Though, some of you might be interested to know that she started back in the Independent Circuit just this year. She was a Diva Champion in her short run with the WWE. Now, she owns and runs a bodybuilding centre and a smoothie bar wit her hubby. She even has a line of fitness clothing.
Would You Hire Or Fire Kelly Kelly?
For starters, this is perhaps the most unoriginal name in the entire WWE. It's even worse than Kaitlyn. Her actual name is Barbara Jean Blank. It's far away from Kelly Kelly, so I have no idea where that idea came from. Either way, she managed to become the Diva Champion for a three-month stint right at the end of her six year wrestling career. When she left the company, she continued on modelling and got an acting career started. Well, sort of. You can see her on the "reality" tv show WAGs.
Would You Hire Or Fire Lita?
Lita was one of the hippest WWE divas to ever get into the ring. She was made out to be one of the craziest too because of her affiliation with the Hardy Boyz. They were Team Xtreme and they really made a strong push in the company. Lita managed to land the Women's Championship 13 times! She also managed to make her character a little silly with the whole marriage angle with Kane. And then she ruined her credibility when she was screwing around with Edge behind Matt Hardy's back. Lots of drama with lots of success.
Would You Hire Or Fire Luna Vachon?
Luna Vachon came from a wrestling family and was one of the biggest names in the WWE back in the Attitude Era. She was probably best known for her feuds with Sable. Which is kind of sad because they played on how she's not very pretty to work off of Sable's beauty when facing off in an infamous evening gown match. That likely didn't help her self confidence that much and given all of the horrible things that happened to her throughout her career, it's no wonder she turned to drugs and religion. Her death was a tragedy for the WWE universe.
