Company looks to hiring models
over wrestler's once again
WWE have re-launched its ill-fated Diva Search in which the
company stages a talent show format in selecting a WWE Diva to join its roster,
which usually sees at least two or three other rejects of the competition
hired. With WWE’s loss of numerous Diva’s including wrestling talent in the
likes of Beth Phoenix, WWE have chosen to look for more model types than
females with in ring skill.

With the company realising they need new females and fed up
of predictability to audience to call someone from the developmental stages up,
as well as the fact those may not be entirely ready and no active females
capable on the current roster after favourites are booked instead creator Vince
McMahon and WWE have been secretly holding auditions and the search off camera.
Further to the controversy, after Linda McMahon’s financial disaster at a
senate run over two term periods, and opposition branding WWE as practically
using porn models in it child friendly audience market, it was reveal WWE had
cast model from an agency linked to the porn industry. Even Reby Sky mentioned
on her Twitter profile of the company enquiring from the agency she was
previously in lines with.
WWE understood fans would not want the contest and would pan
the show if on WWE TV especially live show Raw.
Ignoring those concerns WWE were desperate for women and have still attempted
to book females not capable to provide to the very core structure of its over
glamourised and defunct division. Only Natalya and Tamina remain as the
wrestling females in a vastly thin stock.
WWE have clearly outlined they don’t care about the division
nor its fanbase and McMahon only viewing the division as eye candy in filler
matches. They need to hire esteemed professionals to handle the castings,
selection of diva candidates and potentials in contributing to WWE in a future
and hire those able to produce for the division. Once one division folds, the
others quickly join. The tag team division collapsed once again last month and
the Intercontinental championship scene is non-existent. The US title area with
Antonio Cesaro’s sterling work is holding on but without credible time given is
keeping head above water. The heavyweight division’s lack real contenders which
is treading water.

Earlier we wrote about WWE sending out its Diva application’s.
At the time it had considered hiring model Lauren Kitt, girlfriend to Backstreet
Boy Nick Carter, who shamelessly advertised to join her as part of the job.
Unconfirmed reports also allude that they may have aimed to lure model Kyla Cole.
Regardless of the outcome, WWE’s division of Diva’s could finally
be hitting the skids. No dedication or unable to figure out what to do should
prompt you to act, instead of willingly allowing it to fail. Since when did
Vince McMahon fail at anything? There seems to be a first time for everything
if this is any indication to go by.
