With a few exceptions such as A.J. Lee, Natalya and Beth Phoenix, most of WWE's female talents from 2007 to 2015 were cookie-cutter models with virtually the same moveset and no character as opposed to today where there are different body types, looks and characters.

Horrible and it was made even worse with the WWE Total Divas show.

It’s going to be an unpopular opinion, but...
If the “Divas” era roster had been given the same opportunities(IE, training, character development and TV time) as today’s roster, they would have put today’s roster to shame.

I hate the Stephanie McMahonization of it all. As if she is responsible for the womens revolution. She has to do commentary on the first female Royal Rumble even though she's never announced before. She has to introduce the women's revolution because it was "her idea." She has to induct Trish into the Hall of Fame even though Lita was her greatest rival & real life besty.
Where was Stephanie when Fit Finlay was making chicken salad all those years or during the 2 minute match bra & panties era that followed. If she died on that hill like she did when firing Bruce Prichard it would have changed. Don't forget during that period she was involved in creative, whilst in the last decade that hasn't been the case.
I haven't watched a Stephanie McMahon segment since 2014. I just skip or fast forward whenever she is on. Based on all the things I have heard about her segments since, I 100 percent made the right decision. Thankfully she isn't on TV anymore, but rest assured if she was. Your favorite wrestlers but would getting verbally battered & one upped at every possible opportunity. She even got the greatest wrestling wordsmith of all time taken off TV because he had too much fire & wouldn't take her on screen horsecrap.

They served their purpose which was to draw eyes to the product...Even if it was for the wrong reasons....But lets not act like they'd be the same or better than the current roster with training. Todays roster either had years of indy wrestling under their belt or were Division 1 athletes. By the time they got to WWE they were already well established as either wrestlers or athletes. Many of your Divas era women had no athletic background or athletic talent. No amount of training is going to change that to something they simply were not. As the old saying goes, you cant polish a turd.

She was the one that directed the Dawn Marie/Torrie Wilson scene in the hotel. |

With Eva Marie returning I hope it means the return of the Divas in the WWE. Center the women's division around Eva. It will attract the non-wrestling fan.
