DivaDerby.net: The race is on


		Beth Phoenix The WWE’s leading powerhouse diva has just turned face, and what a beautiful transformation that was! She has the potential to out peak Chyna in popularity. She’s already much more talented in the ring than Chyna, what she needs is for the WWE’s writing team to put her in better storylines, to get her over with the fans. The Tiffany save on Smackdown this month was impressive! (Link) The fans where behind Beth, everyone wanted to see Beth glam slam Vicky, yet they left us wanting more to build up future matches. Finally the divas are in the middle of a first-rate storyline! The immediate future looks very bright for the Glamazon!
		Natalya Natalya is simply breathtakingly amazing. She excels in every way; even her ring attire is cool. Take a look at this match with the Awesome Kong (Link). She tossed the Awesome Kong around the ring as if she was Kelly Kelly! She was phenomenal. Imagine the reaction she would get if she wrestled that match on Raw or Smackdown. The WWE needs to let Natalya shine by having her wrestle more.
		Melina She’s the personification of a WWE diva. Not only does she have her own unique persona, but she also has her own unique wrestling style! That’s something that few female wrestlers have. Melina does some moves that only she could execute flawlessly. Melina, get well soon, we miss you!
		Mickie James Arguably one of the most talented divas in WWE history, when Mickie wrestles, you can be sure she’ll put on a good match.
		Gail Kim All hail queen Gail! She's an incredible high flyer with a unique set of wrestling moves. In TNA she was often the highly of the show with her fast paced matches. Unfortunately, in the WWE her matches are quite short. But, when we do get to see a glimpse of her talent in the WWE, it's quite a treat.
		Katie Lea The Katie Lea situation in the WWE is disconcerting. She’s an incredible wrestler that’s rarely used. Hopefully the WWE will finally wake up and use her right. She’s also one of the few divas that has a unique look. She’s hot, yet she sticks out from the other divas due to her unique ring attire, sexy accent, attitude and aggression. She has what it takes to become the new Luna, but a much hotter and more talented version of Luna, of course. If anyone doubts her talent, watch this ladder match video of Katie wrestling Beth. (LinK)
		Alicia Fox We haven’t heard her talk much, but she has shown that she’s an excellent wrestler. She excels at selling moves, although she does sometimes overdo it.
		Michelle McCool I’ll admit it. I used to be a McCool hater. I felt she was getting a massive push that she didn’t deserve, but match after match, she’s proven that she can deliver. McCool is skillful and well-trained. Her impressive Lay-cool stable has made her the power player of the month.
		Serena Serana hasn’t made her in-ring debut in the WWE yet. She has excelled outside the WWE though. She’s shown that she can deliver in the ring (Link) and on the mic (Link). Hopefully soon we’ll get to see this talented diva in action in the WWE.
		Jillian Hall She’s part of the group of wrestlers that really hasn’t been given the opportunity to shine. She needs to continue to train to improve on her already decent wrestling skills. Her gimmick, although unique in the WWE, isn’t very versatile.
		Eve Torrez I see a lot of potential in Eve. She first debut as just another pretty valet, but she’s improved over time. The first time she impressed me was when she wrestled Layla on superstars. A few weeks before they had wrestled each other on Smackdown. On there that match was pretty sloppy. Then a few weeks later they wrestled again on superstars and this time the match improved significantly. (Link) Eve debut a new finishing move. They both had chemistry in the ring and what impressed me the most is to see how much, and how fast, Eve was improving in the ring! If she keeps this up she’s going to become a big star in the WWE.
		Kelly Kelly She’s the type of diva the WWE loves. She’s gorgeous, decent in the ring and has a really friendly demeanor. Aesthetically, she’s perfect for the WWE, but the reason why I rank her this low is because of her wrestling skills. She still seems miles away from reaching the talent of Beth, Melina, Natalya and Katie.
		Layla After years of just blending into the background, Layla finally is showing she has what it takes to become a major diva in the WWE. Lay-cool is allowing Layla to develop her persona. The addition of Vicky to Lay-cool has brought more interest into the team, and the women’s division! This trio is certainly becoming a memorable wrestling stable.
		Maryse Maryse has come a long way since her WWE debut, although she still needs to improve her wrestling skills. What she excels at is at selling her gimmick. I often wonder if it’s her real persona and not really a gimmick. Regardless, her WWE persona works absolutely perfect for a heel persona. Since she returned from her injury, I have noticed some improvement in the ring, but not much. She does seem to sell moves better. Now, if she could only learn a few more wrestling moves!
		Tiffany Tiffany, Tiffany, Tiffany! I wasn’t expecting much out of the bubbly cute diva, but she had quite a debut on Smackdown! (Link) She showed aggression, that's what got her moves over so well. That's what the divas need to show more of. Often the divas look like they are concentrating in the ring, as if they are worried they might make a mistake. They look like they are thinking "move A, to move B." They need to make the moves come in a more natural way. Tiffany did that. She executed her moves beautifully and naturally. She’s the one to watch at the moment. Hopefully she’ll continue to improve in the weeks to come.
