She should though. Because she'd make a better enforcer for the more charismatic Melina. Beth is a good wrestler, but she has the charisma of a watermelon. That's why people don't care about her, and that's why she isn't the focus of the division.
The only reason there wasn't a Women's title match at Mania is because they needed to promote the more important Playbody. They also didn't want Maria vs. Phoenix because while it's supposed to be a heat killer, it's not supposed to be a crowd killer. That is why Candice & Melina were added, because fans care about them. And their big tits.
I disagree about Beth and her charisma. I think she has the ability to make her gimmick work and she's good on the mic, and there's proof about that from last night. Of course, few divas have the kind of charisma that Melina does (and that's totally biased, but still), but
valeting on Heat, is not where a Women's
Champion belongs in the first place. And if Melina is the more charismatic one, wouldn't it have made sense for Beth to wrestle while Melina talked smack or whatever she would've done?
From what I've heard, the real reason why there was not a Women's Champion match at WM this year was because Ashley was injured. Apparently the Women's Champion match was supposed to be Candice vs Beth vs Mickie, while Ashley and Maria would team up against Melina and Jillian (which is why Jillian had started coming out during Melina's matches prior to WM), but with Ashley getting injured, it turned into Beth and Melina vs Candice and Maria, and of course it went downhill from there (wow that was a run-on sentence).
Please. Any properly trained wrestler would have stopped themselves from landing like that.
That's an assumption on your part. While there are other reasons why you could say Candice isn't a good wrestler, her fall just is not one of them.
Y'know what. If Candice continues to improve the way she has been then I don't see why she can't be great. It took Trish Stratus years to be compitent in the ring. Yet Candice appears to have taken to it very quickly. Candice also doesn't have the benefit of working with Jazz, Molly Holly and to a lesser extent Victoria like Trish did.
See the problem I have with Candice, as much as I do like her, is the fact that she seems to eager to try new moves without really establishing the basic ones strongly. I think that's something Trish did, and of course the fact that some of her first fueds were with people like Lita, Jazz, Victoria, Molly, etc also did help. That's why I like how Layla is learning to wrestle with the basics first, and isn't trying to attempt something flashy every other match.

I think since trish and lita left there arent really many good wemon wrestlers left or willing to enter the wwe. The fact is most wemon going into wrestiling want to ... Wrestle, Not pose for plaboy or show up in skimpy skirts to be vallette for some dude. Alot of female wrestlers have tallent. But there sure as hell not in the wwe. I can name off 2 and one who is getting there , Mickey and beth being the 2 who are there and melina is getting there. Hell the rest might as well go live at the playboy mansion thats all they seem to care or think about anymore.
There are other women in the WWE that can wrestle and that aren't Trish and Lita. You mentioned Melina (who's been wrestling for eight years, so I doubt she's just "getting there"), Beth, and Mickie, but what about Victoria, Beth, and Jillian? Not to mention all the women training in the developments, some of who have been called up, like Nattie and Katie. You have others like Torrie, Michelle, and Candice who aren't great wrestlers, but can be decent. Even though some of the divas do come from a modeling background or have posed on Playboy, or are T&A in the WWE, doesn't necessarily mean that they don't care about wrestling. Look at someone like Maryse- she's been training for over a year, and from house show reports she's actually gotten pretty good. Or there're others like Layla, who wrestles in FCW and is really trying hard to improve. Even Maria, who I cannot stand, took time to go to OVW train there. I criticize heavily, but I also give credit where it's due.

wwe womens division is a joke. the only legitamate females in there are beth phoenix, melina, and victoria. the rest are just eye candy. If I want to see 2 females "wrestle" for a womens title, I watch tna for that.
Other "legitamate" females are Mickie, Jillian, Nattie, Katie, oh and Cherry is okay.

So the point of this is that your not making any sense with this comment since the WWE is already hiring divas like Trish and Lita, it'S just that you don't see it.
See, while the WWE might be hiring divas like Trish and Lita, they aren't using them in the same way. The era that Trish and Lita come from, is an era where the WWE actually cared about its Women's Division. I can't say that anymore.

Whenever I see a women's match these days, I keep hoping that Victoria will just come out from the back and pummel everyone in the ring.
She's the best female worker they have, and they've turned her into a joke.
Whenever I see a women's match in the WWE, it hurts me how much they misuse women like Jillian Hall, who by the way has busted her ass for years and her hard work has yet to come to fruition. Victoria had her time in the spotlight. I don't want to see her in the Women's Title scene (not that she will be) again, until someone else who hasn't gotten their chance has a shot. *cough*Jillian Hall*cough*
