Sad,but true. Women today in WWE are being under utilized in the wrestling division because they are pretty (They are being portrayed just as another pretty face,not as a trained female wrestler), and their wrestling talent is horrible because the WWE don't really seem to pay any attention to them and don't care about the women's division. So instead of the them getting more air time TV to wrestle, what they do is sometimes just get, a skit of 2 minutes where they slap each other. This is a negative way to use women in a wrestling company! There actually suppose to wrestle, not just stand there and be one thing: pretty. This medium of women was created like this because, back in the old days women would actually wrestle and be more trained. But because times have changed, Vince McMahon (the owner) passed on the company to his son in law (Triple H) and he stated he dislikes that there is a women's division in WWE. Also part of the reason why women are being underutilized is because, back in 2004 the WWE began caring how woman looked in their company and began calling them "Divas". They then began signing contract to women with no wrestling experience. Which has brought down, the company ever since. Do to all of this, when rarely a diva math happens and they wrestle, the crowd goes to the restroom, purchase a snack or leaves to do something else. The reason for this is because they find the divas in the company as a waste of time to watched because of how they are being used. The article talks about how the company should trained there women better, make them valets, give them a character, women should get more air time, and sign trained women Recently the company, has lost some great talented women because, they are not utilized correctly and don't like the direction of the company. Recently there have been articles about ending the divas division, and link at the bottom has more in formation. WWE has lost diva Kelly Kelly and Beth Phoenix, 2 great in-ring performers who deserved to be given more opportunities but weren't and so they decided to leave the company. For this reason, because many women are leaving for the same cause, the WWE might end up taking the diva division out of the company. This influences the future because they keep signing in-experienced women, and always will because they are "pretty". What's your opinion, do you think they should utilize their women better?
