Now, judging by the title of this column, I think it is pretty obvious what my column will be about. Now I'll be the first to admit it, I was a fan of the Diva Search, and I was really rooting for Christy Hemme to win. And I am very glad she did, simply because of all the girls she seemed like the one, to me, who looked to most like a future Women's Champion. And I stand by that argument. Christy is well built and has the perfect attitude to becoming the champ. She has somewhat of charisma, and is totally open to training as a wrestler, and wants to learn to valet as well. She wants to do it all, and not be used as only eye candy. Which I respect more than anything. But lets face it, the Diva Search was not meant for the next Women's Champ, it was for the next eye candy--- err eye candies. But don't get me wrong, as much as I was opposed to bringing in all of the diva-rejects, I looked on the bright side and was able to find that a lot of them are doing very well and add to the storylines.

First, as I mentioned above given the proper training Christy could well be on her way to becoming the Women's Champion (Hey if Debra can...) And I would love to see her character evolve into something a little more interesting and less T-Shirt Firingy. She has more potential than that, and could very well hire someone for minimum wage rather than 250 000$ to do that! Now, of all the Diva Search girls, Amy is my favorite right now. Yes, I know I wanted Christy to win, and still glad she did. But Amy is the one who developed her character into something unique, that is completely not like her. She has trademarked her Tiara as an Amy Webber thing, and she is getting over as a major heel right now. She evolved right into it and gets better every week. This whole image consultant for JBL is a great gimmick, the only thing she needs now is to get more involved with the matches. Become more of a manager, not just valet. But she has her character perfected. She can actually go somewhere in the WWE, and you almost forget that she was in the Diva Search.

Maria, as far as I am concerned, is doing a good job at doing backstage interviews. It shows that she still is getting used to doing the interviews because she still laughs a lot, but what the hell. It adds to her character, as a giggly blonde interviewer. A lot of people argue that with Lilian Garcia, she is not needed but they had Lilian Ring Announcing, and doing interviews. Or they had Todd Grisham to interviews, Heat and Experience. Maria is quite possibly becoming the next Terri. But I can guarantee she will never be that good. NEVER! Terri was great!

Moving on, Joy. Okay, Joy is sorta doing a good job. I can see a feud forming between her and Amy. And it can be good. Well as far as a 2 female eye candy feud can go. But with the training these girls can have a successful feud. The only problem with Maria is Big Show. Her character sucks. She is a valet who doesn't accompany her man to the ring, just hangs out backstage and showers. If she was used more, she can be something. She just needs to break away from Big Show because he is holding her down, and he really doesn't need a valet. Not at all.

Finally there is Michelle. Her character sucks nig, and she is always placed in the wrong places (Helping RVD stretch of all people) But Michelle was my second pick for the Diva Search. Why, athleticism. If you saw the flip she delivered to Hiroko on SmackDown! A while back, you know that this girl has strength, beauty and the skills to become a WRESTLER and a CHAMP! All she needs is the proper training. Now that I have covered the girls that do good, here come the bad. The only Diva Search girl I find useless in Candace. The make-up artist thing is a pathetic excuse for getting her involved. Even then she shows up for a few seconds in a blue moon. She is very useless. And there are also the two new models they hired Rochelle and Lauren. Two more that are useless models who do nothing at all.

Well, I would like to thank you all again for listening to my ramblings. Hopefully I will be back again. And hopefully you enjoyed the column. I would really enjoy hearing some feedback. Or e-mail me at [email protected]. Thanks.
