MODERATOR COMMENTS (Lord Sidious)
I don't have a problem with the occasional "What would you do" thread ... BUT if you would like to participate in the thread, you need to tell us WHY you would make the changes or decisions you would ... to avoid "spam". Thanks!
You have just been hired by the WWE to work in the creative department. You are given a specific task and you are given the resources you need to make it happen. You are responsible for running the Diva’s division. This includes character development, rosters, storylines, titles, etc. You are responsible for Diva’s rosters on all 3 brands and you are allotted 15 mins on both RAW and Smackdown each week of TV time to do what you want. That 15 minutes can be broken up into three segments of 5 minutes, two segments of 10 & 5 minutes each or whatever you wish. You are also given 8 minutes of TV time twice per month on ECW for Diva promotion if you CHOOSE to use it. You don't necessarily have to put on matches. They can be promos, segments, backstage moments, anything you want. You can use it to build feuds, characters, interact with fans, brawls, matches, etc.
Vince tells you, “Our Diva’s division is a complete mess. We have no direction. I need you to bring it to the top of the industry because ratings are down, bathroom breaks are up, and the Knockouts in TNA are kicking our ass. Make it happen, and you’ll be heavily rewarded. If not, you’ll never work in this business again.”
I am a person that actually enjoys women’s wrestling when its properly executed. I think avid wrestling fans enjoy it also when its done correctly, and with some effort the WWE can garner interest in the women’s division.
My very basic order of business. I’d say, “Vince, I gladly accept, and you will be pleased with the job that I will do with the Diva’s division. I will bring prestige to the division, and boost ratings for diva’s segments. The diva’s will also get a ton of heat at live events and it will not take away from the overall show. It will add to it.”
1) Divas are no longer eye candy, they are wrestlers.
2) Maria, The Bella Twins, Kelly Kelly, Layla, Jillian, Rosa Mendes, are all future endeavored.
3) The women’s titles will be unified under the name The Diva’s Championship. The Diva’s champion can float on all 3 brands
4) Every single Diva will be in a feud, and receive some character development.
5) Diva’s will come to the RING and cut promos!

They can then build the division around this model. The divas will no longer be escorts for guests, or come in the ring to dance with the likes of Snoop Dogg, or participate in Halloween costume contests, etc. which in my opinion kills their credibility as in ring talent. Anyone care to add? What would you say to Vince, or what would you add or take away from my basic outline?
