Answer A Cage With A Table

The idea going around now is that the diva tables match at TLC is a response to TNA's cage match that featured Mickie James and Tara. Considering that tables were already represented at the event, and last year's TLC proved that not every match has to have a gimmick at this event, there is probably some actual bite to this report. Honestly, I was expecting WWE to try to find some answer to that match of the night from TNA last week on Raw this week. Instead of putting in a diva match with heart and emotion to it on Raw, looks like they are saving it for a PPV. Fine. Two things I want to talk about.

First, it took Mickie James proving what she is about in TNA to push the WWE to try better with their own divas? Wow, you can actually read some kind of respect in that. Almost. Whatever gets the job started gets the job started, but I am not saying the job is done. Wait for TLC. The divas have to get it done.

Second, the WWE should be ashamed of itself. You had Mickie James and Tara (Victoria), have Gail Kim now, and I can list other women. This is your wake up call now? Mickie James was the most over diva you had. Even before she jumped off a cage, which she honestly did not even need to do to be over, she was that over in the slop you call a diva division. Even before she debuted in the WWE, she proved in the indies that she is willing to push herself and try to entertain. The WWE did more to bury this woman over the years than to actually build her and push her for her own sake. Now they think their divas can compete with her and the TNA Knockouts? Has the WWE forgotten how futile their attempts of breaking her overness while she was still there were? As I said before, those four women have to get the job done at TLC. Even then, by my count, Mickie James has been proving herself through her redemption in TNA for weeks now. Divas have some catching up to do.

One last topic. How goes that hunt to replace Mickie James? Almost 8 months later, I do not see any proper replacement set up. AJ Lee? Layla? Beth Phoenix? Natalya? Let me explain something. In terms of position, ANYONE and EVERYONE is replaceable. In terms of quality and getting the job done a certain way, not everyone is as replaceable. Big deal about WWE trying to replace Mickie James since they got rid of her! They had tried several times to push other women, whether those meant to be centerpieces or new tools to put over the centerpieces, to replace Mickie while she was even still there. Never got the job done. There can be a disaster here in New York City. Mayor Bloomberg and other politicians can be killed or kidnapped. A committee can name me new mayor. Boom, Bloomberg is replaced by me. In terms of position, replaced. In terms of quality, poor replacement. I would suck. I would not try to suck, but I just would. I do not have the experience or skills for this job. That is the same thing you have going on with the WWE's idea that they can replace Mickie James. In terms of position, it is the easiest thing in the world. In terms of someone actually accomplishing what Mickie James did, not so easy. Of course, this diva will have the WWE on her side to make the fans forget Mickie. That would be like the committee that made me mayor guiding me every step of the way. Difference is, after all the storylines, booking, hype, and everything else the WWE gives, it is really the diva herself who will need to bring it to take Mickie's spot. Until then, and even possibly after, you have a lame, joke women's division. How hard is it to replace that?
