CM Punk Feels WWE is “Missing the Boat” with Divas
WWE Superstar CM Punk made several interesting comments about the Divas division in a recent interview with Gamespot.
The outspoken Superstar criticized WWE’s use of the Divas, feeling that WWE was “missing the boat” on an entire section of viewers that the Divas could appeal to. He said: “I think even from just a business standpoint, the girls aren’t prominently featured, and we’re ignoring an entire demographic. There’s little girls out there [to who] these Divas are Wonder Woman. They’re superheroes. We’re missing the boat on that.”
Punk also discussed current Divas Champion, Beth Phoenix, and Natalya aka the Divas of Doom. He said: “Natalya Neidhart and Beth Phoenix I think are finally getting what they deserve. I think they are awesome talent.”
Speaking on who he’d like to see pushed in the company, Punk said: “I’m more apt to go with somebody who has heart, who has passion for what they do. In the past, I think the company’s almost punished people [for that]. Somebody like Nattie. She’s a Hart. It’s in her blood. To put her on the back-burner and not give her anything to do, I think it’s kind of insulting because she’s not just a Hart, she backs it up. She’s excellent in the ring. To kind of have her on ice, to me, doesn’t make any sense.”
Thoughts: It’s good to see someone in that company supporting the Divas. Punk is spot on. The Divas can bring in a different demographic to WWE, instead of just being considered eye candy for the male viewers, which it seem is their current role.

Is John Morrison Leaving WWE Due to Melina?
Following Monday’s RAW in which John Morrison was defeated by Christian in approximately a minute and subsequently assaulted by Dolph Ziggler, Christian and Jack Swagger, a man wrote to Melina on Twitter accusing her of killing his WWE career.
He wrote, “Will you stand trial for killing your bf’s career? #prayforJoMo.”
The former WWE Diva responded via private message, “The WWE did it. I never did anything but stand by him through thick and thin. We should all be so lucky as to have someone like that in our lives.
“John worked his ass off and did everything he was told. The blame shouldn’t be put on me. Blame the WWE.”
Lilian Garcia and Maria Kanellis on Post RAW Show
Former WWE Divas Lilian Garcia and Maria Kanellis hosted the second edition of their post-Raw show for AfterBuzzTV.com Monday night. You can check it out below:
Former WWE Diva Maria Kanellis made some allegations during last week’s RAW discussion on this show on AfterBuzzTV.com after co-host Lilian Garcia pondered why McIntyre and Morrison are not receiving greater pushes.
Maria said of McIntyre, “I have a feeling he’s paid for someone else’s sins, problems, because Drew’s really good. I’d love to see him do more stuff, but it’s unfortunate that that happens.”
Maria then said of Morrison, “I think it’s a lot of complications of outside stuff. I think that a lot of times they go with who’s going to be there, who’s always going to be there, who’s going to be the easiest. He’s very easy and I love him to pieces, but I think it’s outside complications. I think that’s why.”
