Maxine was quite probably the best Diva they had who could actually cut a promo and act. She was fantastic on NXT with Bateman and Curtis. Plus she could wrestle too. Her Dragon Sleeper was awesome.
WWE sure has their head up their ass with their Divas division. Other than Maxine:
AJ - Pretty much awesome, can wrestle. Her acting could use some work, but seems to be better now that she can act totally off the wall.
Aksana - Probably not very good in the ring, but her character is actually pretty interesting as a valet/manager. Pretty much filling the Maryse role now.
Alicia Fox - Terrible in the ring - dangerous even with her sloppy botches. Can't cut a promo.
Beth Phoenix - We know she can wrestle, but she's been made to look like a total loser since she began her Pin Up Strong and Divas of Doom schtick. Yes, she was made to look weak even as a multiple time champion in that time span.
Cameron - See: Alicia Fox vs. Melina. Her sister is probably the only reason she's employed.
Eve - Okay in the ring, manages to get some reaction. How long will she stay part of the WWE now that she has one foot in other television projects? Stacy and Maria did similar things and the next thing you know, they were both fired.
Kaitlyn - Can wrestle, has an interesting personality, never given the chance to do shit.
Kelly Kelly - Has got to be on her way out at this point.
Kharma - Creative has nothing for her. Seriously.
Layla - Passable in the ring, draws zero reactions one way or the other now that she's not heeling it up with McCool anymore. Seems like she's peaked.
Naomi - Can wrestle, showed a lot of passion on NXT, is misused as a Brodus Clay dancer.
Natalya - Great in the ring, good on the mic, misused worse than Beth Phoenix. She's always second fiddle to another Diva for some reason. Maybe Vince hates her because she's one of them Hart family members. Hence the farting gimmick.
Rosa - Doesn't seem to be able to wrestle after all of these years, but hasn't ever been given anything to do. Seems to work well enough as eye candy and as a valet.
Tamina - Can wrestle, crowd seems to be decently into her, built in 2nd/3rd? generation gimmick - she seems destined to join Beth and Natalya as a woman who never gets a fair shake.
I mean, no wonder no one cares about the Divas division. Can't find anything to do with Kharma. Constantly misuse Beth and Natalya. Younger Divas like Kaitlyn, Maxine, Naomi, and Tamina never get much of a chance to shine on the big shows. Divas like Aksana and Rosa are inconsistantly used as valets (right now is on the better side of that). Fox and her sister are useless. Layla has peaked. Kelly Kelly is on her way out and Eve seems to be following suit with her growing popularity.
Only AJ is being used well, and she's hardly even being used in a wrestling role or a competitive role. She's just been playing psychotic girlfriend. Which is fine for now, but WWE probably will have no clue what to do with her afterward. And it just reinforces the fact WWE can only significantly develop one Diva at a time.
But of course none of the above matters because the Divas are lucky to get one match a week on Raw OR Smackdown. Usually the competent ones do good work on NXT and Superstars when given the chance and don't have to be done in 2.5 minutes.
They are generic yes. You might be good at 2pm. I'll let ya know on here if I do. A lot of variables right now but I'm always down for a CAG lunch or dinner. Just don't forget cash to park!
ing head, Scorch.
