Do you think Natalya is being mistreated by the WWE?

[Owen 3:16 says I just stole your Slammy!!]

I Love Natalya! I think she is very talented, great wrestler. I want to see her on Raw and have a big angle. I really liked it when she teamed with Beth last year. The WWE should treat the Divas better and need to improve on Tag Team!

 

[Con T.]

Mistreated? For fuck's sake!
She still has a fucking job.
What more could she want?

What more are you expecting? If being mistreated means taking a job that will make more money than I'll ever see, while still being marginally entertaining and having little to no charisma, well sure, that's a pretty grave injustice, if I've ever seen one. Fuck, perspective, guys. Try using a little every now and then.

20 minutes for a Divas math is too much but I doubt it would bore fans to tears as much as Big Show-Cena at No Way Out. Also Shelton Benjamin was one of the most exciting in ring performers in the last 10 years and Haas is a solid worker. That wasnt a great example to use.

This is probably the way WWE thinks too. They put almost no effort in the Divas, Tag and IC/US divisions and yet wonder why the ratings and PPV buyrates are dropping every year.

Haas and Benjamin were both terrible. Exciting doesn't mean shit if you can't work, and neither of them could. In fact Benjamin's repeated flops throughout his career have practically mirrored Beth's. If she doesn't break through to the next level after her feud with Kharma then she'll never get there.

While the WWE writers are far from perfect, and in some cases arguably really lazy, there's little to be desired in the women's division right now. Kharma is being made into such a huge deal because not only is she something special with her size and power, but she's an incredible worker.

Creative will be careful with the way they book her because they see the potential of her making them money. That potential has all but passed for both Beth and Nattie individually.

After watching the 'fart' role she plays for the first time, I think it's a disgrace she actually plays this. Yeah, she might go along with it, but it's a shame that a talented diva like her is being used for a 'fart' storyline. Some hints toward the 'nugget' thing, right?

She's a grown woman with a job to do. When actors go out and humiliate themselves we don't say they are being mistreated. Look at the stunts and actions guys like Slater and Santino perform every week. Where is the outcry for them?

I think Vince is enjoying messing with the Hart Family, no matter who it is. Bret, Harry Smith, Natalya, Owen. It seems as if Vince likes to make them look bad. It sucks completely.

Vince just wants to make money. Bret is the only one on that list that can make him any money. Natalya is a very attractive woman but she falls in between the two extremes of bikini diva and Amazonian. It's unfortunate for her but in between doesn't make money unless you can find a way to stand out. Natalya hasn't found a way. If she could I think she should try to build her own demographic with young women the same way Cena has with young boys. It would take a lot of work making a lot of public appearances at schools, malls and female sports events but if she dedicated herself enough she may grow an audience WWE has never been able to capitalize on.

Natalya is very talented in-ring wise.

I guess but not enough to really stand out like someone like Lita.

And she should be a multiple diva champ by now, but no, she is mistreated completely, just for the enjoyment of Vinnie Mac.

Really? What evidence do you have that Vince would sacrifice monetary success for a grudge that may or not exist anymore. This accusation is baseless.

Now she'll be remember as the 'farting girl' of the WWE.

Then she wasn't good enough to accomplish anything else in the business. Stars find a way to shine regardless. AJ is making the best of her opportunity and is getting major screen time in a big feud. Nattie hasn't shown that ability in her tenure with the company.

I personally dont think Vince McMahon gives Natalya much of a thought when hes back stage.

Whos role should she take? How much tv time do you want given to the divas? They have there house show thing. I think thats fine.

I would have like to have seen more done with Eve, but now we have AJ. And i definately dont want Natalya taken any time from AJ.

Christ AJ was featured pretty much all nite tonite on RAW.

Natayla had her run. It was great. And I think it went to long as was. Most Divas dont even get a run. Now she should just slide into her role and be happy shes doing what she loves.

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

I think it is a disgrace that Natalya has not been treated with more respect by McMahon. She is by far one of the best wrestlers in the division right now, FFS she comes from wrestling royalty! Not too mention being absolutely gorgeous to look at also.

I was enjoying the "Divas of Doom" thing she had going with Beth Pheonix, and was looking forward to seeing her take the title eventually, and then she gets stuck with a stupid gimmick like this.

It's a damm shame. I would love to see her in TNA at some point, at least there she would be up against other women who can actually wrestle in Gail, Mickie, Tara, Madison etc.

I think it's genuinely unfortunate that Natalya came to the WWE when she did. I fully understand that she's a Hart and whatnot, her father was an acclaimed WWE superstar and all, but it's just a shame. She's around in an era where not only does women wrestling suck, but it also doesn't matter on air. I know that sounds harsh, but it's true. I genuinely haven't been able to remember whose held a Women's/Diva's championship in the WWE since Ashley never got her run with the Women's Championship, taking it from Melina at WrestleMania. YEAH, I'M AN ASHLEY FAN, FUCK OFF!!!

Lol, in all seriousness. WWE's 'female division' is likely determined on whose got Vince's eye that month. I actually just went to WWE.com to find out who currently had the championship. Layla. I love me some Layla, but I won't watch her wrestle, sorry.
^^^^
This is the mindset of most wrestling viewers nowadays, MYSELF INCLUDED. I know WWE thinks all we want to see is beautiful women on our TV, however, I would much rather see beautiful women kicking the shit out of each other and putting on good, psychologically sound matches.

I love Kelly Kelly and loved the Bellas, but booking them over Beth Phoenix, Natalya, Kharma (whose been in WWE 2ish years and has yet to properly debut, I believe lol), Mickey and Gail; the latter two of which were driven from the company for a plethora of reasons, is just sad. I'm not typically a nostalgic person at all, and never go back and say "OMG TRISH MATCHES WERE SO MUCH BETTER!" because they were nothing special, but compared to what we get now? Fucking golden.

I genuinely quit actually caring when Lita left shortly after Trish, because the ball was passed to, as Bret Hart would say "the best wrestler in the world" being Melina. I'm sorry, but... No. Yes, Natalya is being mistreated, but in the same breath, I'm sure she knew damn-well what she was getting into when she went to the WWE to be a 'Diva.' Unfortunate, but it really makes no difference. Diva's matches, glorified piss breaks to WWE fans.

How much tv time do you want given to the divas? They have there house show thing. I think thats fine.

Back in the early 2000s the women got more TV time. Lita, Trish, Sable, Victoria, Jacqueline, and many others of that time, were getting a lot of TV time. Off course you'll counter that with saying: "Vince used the women back then as a sexual material", but I'll say it still made the women wrestlers mean more. Now they are there, to.... just be there....

 

[LascoX]

I don't know if she is really being mistreated as much as being misused. I liked the divas of doom angle they had going on and was looking forward to her and Beth parting ways and meeting in the first divas ladder match like was rumored to being concidered for Wrestlemania. Instead we get a tv personality going over on the divas champion which was totally lame. I didn't care much for the farting angle , but Natty did make the best of it and pulled off a few laughs from it. I am glad that they dropped it but it did show that she could work an embarising angle and still shine. I hope they will let her rise to the top again and wear the belt as she is certainly one of the best wrestlers they have in the divas division if not the best!
