Prelude to Survivor Series


Yes Layla literally took it on the chin this week on Raw as she was pinned by Mickie James after a mean spinning kick during a diva tag match. Not a great way to start your week off but there is something here that cannot be missed. Extreme Expose' is a thing of the past and Layla will now get a chance to do what she has always wanted to do--spend more time in the ring wrestling!

It blows my mind how everyone on the internet just totally demeans Layla and the other WWE Divas for their "sloppiness" and/or "lack of ring experience." I have to defend them because honestly, WWE storylines just are not tailored to have the divas do much wrestling. Come on, how can you better your wrestling skills by participating in bra & panty, jello, or pillow fighting matches. Let's not even mention the dreaded "Paddle on a Pole Match." Good solid fundamental wrestling can't help but to sink in a sea of such creative juices.

Layla and the other divas want to be serious competitors. Unfortunately, they do not script their storylines or roles and they have to abide by what is handed down to them. Yes, most are compensated well but believe me, there are sacrifices involving family, relationships, friends, etc. that are made as a result of the hectic schedule of WWE Divas. So let's not be so hard on Layla and the other WWE Divas. Let's give her and the other divas an opportunity to improve their skills and abilities before we totally dismiss them as talentless wastes of time. There is always more to people than we wanted to admit.
