Well said...collecting divas is just wrong. The best about it is they arent even entertaining. Who watches a diva match in this day and age? Why do you think WWE give them about 3 mins lol? Its when everyone switches the channel. Collecting divas...maybe collect and display them in my kitchen beside the dish washer. Its wrong is it? Lol. You my friend sound very irrelevant.. Look back at how wrestling started. The foundation of wrestling was MADE by men. First time anyone saw a woman get in the ring and do what the Males did was out of the ordinary, unique, ENTERTAINING. The same goes for this generation with these divas. My little niece see's a Diva in the ring and says "wow, she's a girl and she can do that!?" Some may not be the greatest in the ring. But they try, they improve. There are many males on the roster that I personally think can't wrestle. Does that stop me from collecting some of em, no. Collecting divas are no different than collecting any other figure. Only difference? They are females. So what? and not to mention Hunting them down can be challenging but fun. I don't understand people that have this opinion.. VERY well said.

For me its because they are more unique looking as opposed to their male counterpart's. Plus I've always been a huge fan of women's wrestling since i first started watching wrestling(1998) Also on the "They can't wrestle" point, Its not that they can't, They aren't allowed to do A LOT of stuff, Gail Kim herself said WWE Limits what stuff the divas are allowed to do in matches, at one point they weren't allowed the use PUNCHES!! The TNA Knockouts have proven that women workers can hang with the guys, and in some cases outdo the guys. Amen.

It may just be your 1,000+ negative posts, but you seem a little angry... While it may be true that WWE limits what the lady wrestlers are allowed to do, it is also true that all the women currently active on the WWE roster are untalented and don't know a wrist lock from a wrist watch. No, not really. She's a 4 at best, no offense to her. I'm pretty sure Morgan Webb is a tranny. I met her once, and I was trying to get a good look to see if I could tell for sure, but I couldn't. Still, I'm 95% certain.[/quote] Except for the fact that story makes NO sense, she's a bad actress, and she looks like a hobbit. [/quote] ...at women. /[/quote] Yeah, I don't dig fat or ugly chicks, and I especially hate girls that look line trannies and hobbits. You want to see some good women's wrestling, look for some late 80's and early 90's All Japan Women's stuff. Wanna see some really bad womens wrestling? Watch anything WWE has put in the ring over the last 6 or 7 years.

The best way to look at it is this...
Only collect the Divas you would do.

I'm not a diva collector so I don't really get it either. The selection is very limited and they are really hard to find at retail. Plus, no divas these days really have any character at all. They're all bland and boring imo and most of their figures reflect that. If I find one at retail and there's nothing else there that intrests me I may grab one though just to see if I like them, but I would never go out of my way to order every diva that comes out, especially with priice tags like 30/40 bucks a pop lmao yeah right.

I love collecting divas (as well as superstars). You buy what you want to buy, you like what you like etc. People have different reasons on why they like them. For me it's when you have a favorite superstar/diva, when I first started watching my favorite was Candice, and that got me interested with divas.
I agree with that some of the divas are not as good as others, but I mean i love a superstar/diva with a good gimmick. For example straight edge punk, Psycho divas(Victoria, Mickie, and now AJ). Its not like they are using some them too their full potential either. I'd love to see a Natalya vs Beth feud.
There are so many reasons out thsere on why people collect divas, but why should anyone care? I think this thread is always made to cause trouble.
It's like someone asking you, " Why do you watch WWE? You know it's fake." Everybody has their own reason and shouldn't be judged for liking WWE.

I collect the Diva figures because I have two basic rules for my wrestling figure collection:
1. Get at least one of every person they release (and try to get one of each GIMMICK, like Akeem AND One Man Gang)
2. Hopefully, they'll release everyone who's ever been on TV wrestling. (Obviously, this won't happen, but that's the HOPE).
I have 500+ wrestlers and characters in my figure "universe". Among them are Lita, Trish, Mickie, Victoria, Nikki Bella, Brie Bella, Eve, Beth, Maryse, Michelle McCool, Stacy Keibler, Luna, Layla, Velvet Sky, Madison Rayne, Angelina Love, Ariel, Daffney, Sherri Martel, Natalya, Fabulous Moolah, Mae Young, a custom Kharma, Candice Michelle, Ivory, Chyna, Tori, Torrie Wilson, Sharmell, Debra, Melina, Kelly Kelly, Sable, and probably a few more I'm forgetting.
That's 30+ characters I'd be missing out on if I passed on them, quite a few of which are quite interesting characters (You'd be hard pressed not to be able to come up with good storylines for Trish, Lita, Nattie, the Bellas, Kharma, Mae and Moolah, and the Beautiful People, for instance).
Here's hoping we'll get AJ, Alicia Fox, and anyone else they haven't made yet, male or female, in the near future!

Many wrestler could have been nothing without divas,also some divas are pretty underrated,and for collecting figures I think it's pretty cool cause all wrestlers are equal,same with figures.

Unless you forgot they were employed or are just uneducated on their abilities Beth Phoenix, Natalya, and probably a few others could for sure tell you the difference between a wrist lock and a wrist watch.. I'd bet they could have you submitting in about < 10 seconds if they put you in a wrist lock...

You sir are sexist. Also 95% of the divas are more entertaining then a lot of the males in WWE. I find them to be entertaining and good wrestlers. When given enough time they've proven they can work in the ring and be good at it.

When given enough time they've proven they can work in the ring and be good at it.Are you watching the same WWE as everyone else, or are you just getting high and hallucinating? The female wrestlers in WWE's employ are neither entertaining nor good wrestlers. There is no argument you can make to the contrary, because there isn't one. Even the women that are slightly more talented than the rest like Beth and Natalya, still botch moves left and right in every match they're in. If you truly do believe that the women in WWE are entertaining and / or good wrestlers, you either have absolutely zero understanding of what entertainment or good wrestling is, or you're mentally ill.

I collect figures of half naked men so I don't see why people can't collect Divas?
