Thought of the Day: Be Careful What You Wish For
Because you might just get Lana.
If there’s one major criticism of the Divas division over the years, it’s been that they’re models acting like wrestlers and praise be the name of Divas like AJ and Paige right? Well now we have Lana, a model who, to the best of my knowledge, has zero wrestling experience ever. Yeah she’s good in her role, she’s gorgeous, her legs never seem to end and she can make people boo or cheer her at will, but at the end of the day, she’s a model who got hired for her looks instead of her wrestling ability.
Just remember that if she gets this mega push that people want her to have, one day she’s going to have to have a match. Keep that in mind while you cheer for her and want her to be the new face of the division. It might go very well as she’s a very athletic woman, but it could also be Maria Kanellis all over again.
Lack of wrestling ability never stopped Sable and Sunny from being 2 of the top 5 ‘divas’ of all time. Lana will be fine as long as her personality and her character remains strong. She will be cheered for looks and presence anyways, not her wrestling moves.
If the ‘model’ divas of today had any ring presence and well-built, relatable character, they would still be better viewed.
A very good point. But what if they decide to go the Miss Elizabeth / Sensational Sherri route with her and not have her wrestle? It’s old-fashioned, but it makes a truckload of sense.
