Should Brooke Adams Return To The WWE?

I have said many times before that the WWE should cut down on hiring all this new talent and bringing back old talent. They have all these bodies signed on the main roster, on NXT, as full-timers, as part-timers, getting legend's contracts, and whatever else. And what is it doing for them? They are not using their talent efficiently. Raw is seeing some of the worst ratings it has ever had. No one is going to save the WWE with all the issues they have. If this was a sports team, the issue would be with the coaches and team executives, not so much the players not being able to do their job. The WWE just is not putting their workers in a position to properly succeed and making bad decisions.

For a moment, let's pretend all that was not an issue. Brooke Adams (Brooke Tessmacher) has left TNA. There is a history of women leaving TNA and going right back, but how about Brooke coming back to the WWE? Some people might have forgotten she was ever there. She was not there for long and was only a part of a dance group on ECW. Needless to say, TNA utilized her much better.

Brooke has sex appeal, charisma, and developed her wrestling ability while in TNA. This is someone the WWE should want back. The diva division lacks good eye-candy divas right now. If you are a wrestling fan, you might be prejudice against women like that. But they help to make the diva division more fun. And right now, a lot of the eye-candy divas the WWE would like to push have issues, mostly injury issues. And then there's Summer Rae, who is tied to a guy I have no faith in to see pushed well. Brooke isn't the perfect eye-candy diva, but she has qualities some of these women currently in the WWE lack, like wrestling experience. Of the current crop of eye-candy divas, she would be an asset.

How would she be pushed? It is unlikely she will be pushed as the centerpiece. Regardless of Nikki's health issues, I still feel The Bellas will hold that position. It wouldn't be hard to get Brooke involved in the periphery. Just throw her in a romance angle. She got some of that in TNA, including an angle with Bully Ray. She did not do too much during that angle, but just being sexy is enough. And even pushing her as a credible jobber would not be horrible. As I said, she has wrestling experience now. She also has the look that can get many fans interested in her. She can put some fun emotion into her matches. When you have someone like this, you do not have to put too much creative investment in them. Just give them the freedom to do their thing. This is an eye-candy diva I believe can actually get over as a credible jobber.

One of the issues right now in the diva division is this sour atmosphere. You had AJ Lee do a pipe bomb a few years ago. Paige did one this year. #GiveDivasAChance has just made the division more serious, not more fun. Too much self-righteousness. Then you have crass storylines and segments. Sloppy storylines is one thing, but the tone of the division is just not fun. Looking at what Brooke has done in TNA, it is easy for me to say that having her would help change things. Or will the WWE force her to fit in with this sour atmosphere? As I said, if you give her the freedom to do her thing, she can help you. If you restrict her and have her work through this horrible landscape, she won't help you.

How about TNA? They will be alive in 2016, but their women's division is taking some hits. Brooke is leaving. Awesome Kong has to retire. Angelina Love is pregnant. Taryn Terrell wants to leave. I think TNA will work it out. Despite the WWE signing so many people for NXT, there are still a lot of women out there. Even GFW has not taken them all. And GFW and TNA do have a relationship. TNA still has Gail Kim. She is the closest thing to a centerpiece the company has. There is no one man that they build around. It is hard to say they even build around Gail Kim. They just keep giving her title reigns. But she is someone they can keep pushing. She still has a few good years left. The rest of The Dollhouse might finally be utilized better. And there is Velvet Sky. They have enough core women to steadily feature and can supplement them with new women. It might bring some freshness to the division.
