More to Follow Beth/Nattie?

Gail- She eliminated herself, there was no botch, she just rolled under the ring. Giving Gail entire credit, it isn't possible that she could've botched an elimination in such a way, and even if there was a botch where she was supposed to be eliminated, she would just have got up and had Alicia throw her over. Add to the fact that Gail and Nattie are "best buddies" and were seen hugging before the bell even rung. She eliminated herself in form of protest, likely to allow Beth to win the contendership match.

Melina, although her elimination was a bit abrupt and less obvious than Gail's, she still eliminated herself, and for some reason just decided to tie her shoe before the bell even rung. Notice how all four of these ladies have done nothing lately.

Who knows, we might even see Tamina join up with them for being diferent than the standard diva.

Do you think Maryse and Alicia fox might join them as well.?

i think that the faces need a veteran to lead them against Beth, Nattie, probably Alicia and Tamina. i think Gail is the perfect one to do that since i'd love to see more of Beth/Gail and hopefully Gail/Nattie as well

This thread is kind of a spoiler. You might want to change the title, X. Jus'sayin'!

Very interested to see how this goes and very happy that Beth and Nattie are being used. The storyline does raise a couple of points though. Firstly I can see the heels or Anti models quickly getting cheered by the crowd and the pretty girls being booed similar to Punk/Cena. How are the WWE going to handle this? Are they going to allow the real wrestlers to go face/tweener or try to force the pretty girls down our throats as the faces we should cheer for?

Who's going to lead the faces ? I really don't think Gail is going to. The WWE don't care enough about her and I don't think most fans care enough either. You're also going to need someone strong enough to work the mic. I was wondering if they'd bring back Trish Stratus temporarily as proof that eye candy can wrestle well. This would help the faces hugely but then at the same time would discredit the existing roster that they can't get it done by themselves. A nice way to elevate AJ though to push her.

Who's going to be on which side? Melina with Beth and Nattie, maybe Tamina and Alicia as well. Faces Kelly, AJ, Kaitlyn and Eve. Where would the Bellas and Rosa feature though? Both belong in the model camp but would be difficult to slot them in straight as faces. Maryse I imagine will be out of the picture due to her injury.

I'm wondering if this is where they were eventually going to go with Kharma as well , having Beth or Nattie join her with some of the other wrestlers, then the other one leading the faces?

I would love for them two to join them. I DO NOT want Alicia in their 'alliance'. I'd rather have Alicia be face and try and help against them. I can't stand her and don't want her teaming with Nattie/Beth. But I love the idea of Gail and Melina and you have some valid points there too.

Oh lord people let's not get ahead of ourselves here......we all know what happens when we get to excited we end up bitching in the end.

Well, with the other media being used for the storylines, if Trish were to be involved in this... She was supporting Beth and Nattie in the past, those two being the names she's dropped when discussing who should be the leading the Division before Punk did the same. And, of course, with Punk's recent push, Trish has been backing Punk.

Also, the current storyline was done before, years ago, on a smaller scale, back in 2005 when Trish was targeting the eye candy, specifically Christy Hemme, Candice Michelle, and Maria. It was built as the cute little model girl Christy, the true Diva, against the big mean muscle girl Trish who was demolishing the cute little model girls (where we had an unintentionally funny moment when Trish beat down Maria and Maria sounded like she was having an orgasm rather then being beaten up, kind of proving Trish's point in her promos about the lack of talent in the new girls). The company clearly expected the fans to support Christy all the way, but...

By the time they got to Wrestlemania 21, the fans were firmly behind Trish. They saw Christy in a high profile match for the Championship as an insult to Trish, to every other woman wrestler in the company, to every woman wrestler who ever lived, and to them as fans.

Sound familiar?

Fortunately, Trish squashed Christy like a bug, since the crowd booed when Christy got even a little offense in. Can you imagine how ugly the crowd would have gotten if Christy had won?

I'm pretty sure the company remembers how the fan reaction spiraled out of their control. And where did it happen? The Staples Center in Los Angeles, right where we'll see Beth vs Kelly at Summerslam.

Given the venue and it's history with high profile Diva matches at big PPVs, I'd guess they realize that this might not be the biggest pro-Kelly crowd.

lol Damn, Dude! You can sure hold your own in a debate.

- Book-long posts... check.
- Use of multiple examples to back up your point... check.

Well, I did do Debate in high school...

But, I'm sure they realize that all the crowds aren't going to be pro-Kelly in this, and that they're heading into a venue that backed the Beth in this situation in the past.

How about a mixxed tag match for the next Raw: Cena & Kelly vs Punk & Beth?

People like Kelly just because she's beautiful and sweet. Those are my reasons anyway.
