Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
In fairness, they already have about a billion girls in NXT who are signed up and haven't even started. Signing up a single Kelly Kelly doesn't really matter since she's just going to get "you can't wrestle" chants if they even try to put her up against Sasha/Charlotte/Bayley/Becky.
There's practically no incentive for WWE to go back to "irrelevant Divas matches." Those only existed because they were so sure that nobody would care about women's matches.
Jesus Christ. It's like they're completely clueless to why the "womens revolution" happened

That's why it's a waste of money to hire her. Let's say they put her in a backstage interviewer like role. She proved she sucked at that in the past too and besides we really don't need anymore of those anyway. So why waste the money? It makes no sense. Only thing I can think is that they needed someone as untalented as Eva Marie who Eva Marie could wrestle. lol

Hey, we want some Bayley?
They want Bayley, huh? I'll give them a double dose of Kelly! That will teach them to want Bayley!

Kelly Kelly vs Charlotte in a Best of 7 Women's Championship Reigns exchange series

In fairness, I have my doubts they intend to reinstate the Bathroom Break division, given they have literally no incentive to do it and virtually nothing they've done suggests they're going in that direction, e.g. Raw was main evented by a great women's match and they put three different women's matches on the EC card, none of which were on the pre-show.
I mean, a lot of the fixtures of that era are around and don't really do much. Eva Marie's return to the main roster revolved around her being treated as James Ellsworth, Alicia Fox is basically a Cruserweight division plot device, and they have Maryse back, and she doesn't wrestle outside of special occasions.
Actual answer: both Lana and Maryse are pretty over in the limited roles they're given. It doesn't mean they're being groomed to go over Charlotte.
There is no way in hell they put the strap on her
I can almost guarantee that, almost

Oh god that would be something that you'd find in hell. Only thing that could make it worse would be Kelly Kelly vs Eva Marie in a best of 7 women's championship Reigns exchange series.

Who is Liv Morgan's friend? It's pretty hard to be worse than Nia Jax, but Jax at least has a physical presence that Kelly Kelly doesn't.
Nia Jax looks like Daniel Bryan compared to Kelly Kelly

Wow that bad? This should be fun :/
The variety and flexibility will improve, but I wouldn't count on the quality of the divisions to improve dramatically. At least not with the current participants we know of.
Then again, until Raw and NXT figure out how to do more than one female feud at once, it'll be a waste of time.

Yup. As shown in the gif above she couldn't even run the ropes. She was beyond awful at doing even that. This is something all wrestlers have to do as part of a match.

I also haven't seen a shred of evidence that they're signing Kelly Kelly beyond the fact they did a Twitter video of her saying she'd be at the WrestleMania AXCESS signing.

The last year or so KK legit forgot how to run the ropes. She would go into them with the wrong foot and be off stride when bouncing off.

Yup and that was with her turning around to look at the ropes as she'd be flung into them like above. It was beyond awful. If I had to choose I'd honestly take Eva Marie over Kelly Kelly and I hate her with a passion.
Yeah she mentioned something about this on her interview yesterday
The only other babyface on NXT TV right now, the one who wears cat ears, I always forget her name

Kelly Kelly beats Asuka for the WWE Raw Women's Championship
come at me bro
It's pretty hard to argue that wasn't a different time.
...Ember Moon? Because calling Ember Moon bad is pretty absurd.

She'd fail the wellness policy after a minute of pissing in a cup.
Of course, but these are different times, Eva Marie would be a 10-times champ by now if that wasn't the case

Whoops, I forgot about Ember Moon. No, I meant the other one. Ember Moon doesn't wear cat ears does she?

I wish Michelle McCool would come back.
Book a Beth, Mickie, Michelle and Layla vs the Four Horsewomen match ASAP.

Tranquilo!Look how smooth it is!
*Shrug* I don't remember Michelle McCool being that bad of a wrestler. But maybe it was a symptom of the times
McCool has been having some health issues I think, or has she fully recovered? I hope she has
ElRenoRaven

Yea now Michelle McCool wasn't bad at all. She had looks and could work an ok match. She's happily retired though and still married to the Undertaker.

2011, that different time
When Randy Orton was chasing a world title, Cena put over a new star who would go on to lose the belt in favor of a feud that didn't need it, Undertaker and HHH were important parts of a Mania build somehow still, a Bella was a star, Mickie James was in a company's womens title scene, and a part timer got involved in a world title scene for no reason other than nostalgia
So much has changed...

The Womens division has definitely changed, very slowly but it has. Saying it hasn't just because Mickie James and Nikki are still with the company is just silly

Nothing against Kelly Kelly as a person, but I genuinely can't think of a reason to bring her back. Obviously this would be dependent on wanting to come back, but if I were to go for anyone from that period, it'd be Beth Phoenix.
Filth.

Well having a "Diva" or "Pretty Girl" type character isn't a bad thing they can't all be "Anti-Divas". They are losing Nikko Bella, just lost Emmalina last night and may have lost Eva Marie.
Don't kill my dreams ;_;

Things were the worst there. Michelle has told a story of her and Melina getting shouted at because they had the gall to have a good match. Good guy Jericho defended them.
I think there was also another incident with her and I think Victoria where they had a match on Smackdown and when getting changed got told to go back out to do it again because it was too good again or something.
That women tournament is going to be super interesting.
And Kharma ha

Orton kind of messes with my head. He's been a top guy so long but he started off really young so he's only like 36 now and provided his shoulders don't cave anytime soon will probably be full time for many more years to come.
We need Brock to give Nakamura a couple of concussions, seems like a very effective way to earn Vince's respek
Who is the source of this story?
She was great...
Batsie's ass of course
