“Your Two Cents” is the new interactive feature where we gauge the opinions of our Twitter and Facebook followers on different discussions in women’s wrestling.
This week, we kick off with a big one: Which division is currently stronger? WWE’s Divas division, or TNA’s Knockouts division? We’ve read your responses on our social media pages and picked some of the best submissions to highlight here on the website. As always, you can join the debate by leaving your comments!
Our Two Cents
Batting for Team DD this week it’s Melanie giving us her personal opinion on this week’s topic:
Melanie | This is not a knock on the Knockouts division at all, but right now, my personal inclination is to go with the Divas. Firstly, I think Kelly Kelly has had a solid run as Divas Champion (a run which recently just passed 100 days) and she’s been built up rather credibly as champ, in my humble opinion. I’m also really intrigued by the Divas of Doom and the message that they are conveying. It’s rare that WWE is ever so self aware when it comes to the Divas, acknowledging fans’ constant debates about whether the ‘models’ belong in WWE. Though WWE has dropped the ball on really pushing the Divas of Doom as a dominant group, I think there is a lot of potential in the “wrestlers vs models” storyline brewing in the the Divas division right now, and it’s very intriguing to me.
Your Two Cents
@TwilightRose372 | As much as I love both female wrestling divisions, I believe that the Knockouts are the much diverse & stronger faction. I feel that TNA/@ImpactWrestling showcases their wrestling abilities in a much better view & I continue to be impressed each & every week. The Knockouts are used in all different angles/storylines instead of just using one or two all the time. They are thrown into a variety of different segments every week, which shows us what all of them can do. They continue to impress/provide us with such great wrestling entertainment because they sure keep me watching & would love to be one. |
@LaurenChristy | Divas are coming in a lot stronger now. The whole Diva of Doom vs “Models” storyline is putting a lot of emphasis on the divas. Plus there are more “Diva” wrestlers that are impressing right now than the KOs (Beth, Natalya, K2, AJ, Kaitlin, Eve, etc.) |
@Miss_Diesel | Both the KO and Divas division seem to be on even ground. Even though TNA seem to have more faith in the KOs by giving them storylines, you feel dissatisfied with it in the end. The Divas division seem to only put the weight on the Divas champion and whomever is going against the champion at the moment, while the other divas seem to flounder wondering WHEN exactly their opportunity will come. As we talk skill wise undoubtedly the KOs have better wrestlers with seasoned vets of the wrestling industry such as Tara, Jackie and Mickie being on their roster but those seasoned vets ( other than Mickie ) are utilized as much as you’d want. While the WWE has their model like women in the ring there is no doubt that they have worked hard in the ring, you can actually see the improvement over the years they have worked. All in all both divisions are surprisingly similar even if TNA KOs still claim that they are better than the Divas. #mytwocents. |
Jhonmarco Valazquez | Divas, the Knockouts get time but their matches these past few months are SO boring. The knockouts division is surrounded by horrible booking & storylines (angelina/winter? How long is this storyline going to take?!) The Divas while given shorter time, at least come to play. The matches lately have been better, not sure if that has to do with Goldust. The knockouts have way too much going on there. And Mickie/Winter these last few months has been horrid. Divas ftw. |
@JakeVerterano | Knockouts division is way stronger. The Queen’s Qualifyer matches are making the title match at BFG seem much more important. |
And we even got this tweet from a certain TNA Knockout…
@hemmepowered | KNOCKOUTS ;) |
And now we turn it over to you…
