For all you guys out there, do you watch divas matches and/or collect divas figures? I just can't get that in to their matches. I know they're attractive, but I find the storytelling to be lazy with the divas and just not as entertaining. However, I will watch great divas matches like bailey vs. sasha banks. How about you guys?

I really thought this was gonna be one of those creepy diva threads and by "collecting" you meant kidnapping them. This is what this forum has done to me!

I collect some of the diva figures.
I have 2 Nikki Bella, 2 Brie Bella, 2 Paige, an Emma, AJ Lee, Summer Rae, and an old Maria Kanellis Jakks figure still.
I like them, I find them hot on TV, therefore I must own a figure of them.

The new Sasha Banks figure was my first figure purchase in 13 years.
Yes, I enjoy a fair amount of their matches. Some of the matches I saw from Banks, Becky Lynch and Bayley this year were better than the stuff that men did. Hell, Bayley/Sasha from Brooklyn is my Match of the Year for 2015.

I honestly haven't been into the Divas Division lately.Or at least been into it like I want to.I mean I know I should with this Divas Revolution thing whatever there trying to do but the booking has been a complete mess.I'm tired of all these Flip Flops heel/Face turns.And every week it's either Becky vs Brie or Charlotte vs Brie.What exactly is Brie in these matches? Is she the heel when facing Becky then all of sudden she's a face facing Charlotte?.

I'm gonna buy the Sasha and Bayley figures when the come out in the stores. I have an Aj Lee figure.
I really like a lot of the nxt girls, and I like Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch and Paige on the main roster. So, yes.

I love the divas! Sure the division goes through ups and downs but for some reason I just really like watching. Charlotte, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, Bayley, And Nikki Bella can put on some great matches. NXT is by far better for the woman and I wish the main roster would be just like NXT.... Bur sadly it isn't. There are lots of things that need to change, but I'll always watch anyways. And I collect all of their figures

I grew up and was definitely enthralled with the Divas. Not for their looks though, I was a late bloomer in that department. I legitimately enjoyed watching Victoria, Trish Stratus and Lita wrestle. They felt so much more real than the Divas of today.
Then of course, I've gone and watched some Japanese women's wrestling/WCW's showcases and loved that too.
Someone once said something that actually made a lot of sense. There were always Kelly Kelly type women in the WWE. The problem is that once Trish left they tried to make a division out of women like that and it just didn't work. Culminating with years of bad wrestling, stories, and overall a lack of talent, it has soured the casual viewer on women's wrestling as a whole and that sucks. At the same time, damage like that won't fix itself overnight. To say WWE jumped the shark with fixing it would be an understatement, though I think they were just trying to cash in on the Ronda Rousey esque hype.
One thing TNA did right was the Knockouts division in the early years. That was some great, great stuff. Problem is, 10 years later...they're still the same girls fighting for the same reasons. But TNA itself is damaged beyond repair anyways.

I watch em. I think the Division is miles better than it was. But it's still need some improvements.
Since Mattel took over, I collect the Diva figures. But I collect at least one of everyone on the roster. Even talent I do not like.

I usually skip the divas matches on raw. (except sasha) I don't have any diva figures.

Sasha/Bayley from Takeover Brooklyn was my favorite match of the year. So, yes, I enjoy their in-ring work. Not consistently, especially lately on the main roster, but that's because WWE has absolutely no idea how to handle women. I frequently look forward to NXT women's matches, though.
As for their figures, no, I don't buy them, because I don't buy any figures.

I like women's wrestling. that's why I watch SHIMMER, SHINE, STARDOM..
The obsessive divas fans are just weird and creepy. Women's wrestling in WWE has been a joke for at least the last 20 years (longer than most of these creepy people have been alive) and only recently has it been taken even relatively seriously in NXT with Asuka, Bayley, Charlotte, and Sasha Banks. It's still primarily a joke and it's going to take a LONG time to wash away the stink of the Bellas smoozing with celebrities every week as the representation of women, or worse, the evening gown pillow fights in gravy pits. That's embarrassing to be a wrestling fan.

Well, I've already got Paige and Lana in my basement, and I have a line on Sash.... oh, you didn't mean that kind of collecting.
Well, uh, disregard that last comment.

Lately, I'm really digging Charlotte vs. Becky Lynch. It's a simple story of betrayal and revenge that actually revolves around the championship!

I get the 'Diva' figures I like; of which I have several, with Sasha, Bayley and the newest Bella Twins 2pack on the way.
Like many others, I believe Sasha and Bayley's match at Takeover: Brooklyn was fantastic.
Currently in WWE/NXT the likes of Asuka, Emma, Peyton Royce, Billie Kay and Lil' Alexa Bliss intrigue me.
I enjoy mainly Joshi if I'm interested in women's wrestling away from WWE, like Stardom and Pro Wrestling Wave.
Women's indies like SHIMMER, SHINE and Queens of Combat interest me too.
