WWE Diva Melina Speaks on Eve’s Women’s Title Win

News

Here’s what Melina had to say, courtsey of The Wrestling Observer:

“Just to make sure everyone understands, I think Eve is an up and coming talent. She has potential like many of our Divas. Like many of our Divas, they deserve a better title moment than that. With a good chase and a good build up. Maybe you need to be a wrestler to know that feeling but, it’s an incredible feeling when you have reached such an honor. Where it took time and you invested so much to reach that moment/ that level. She got cheated out of that. No one understands that. Good for her. Be good to your heels, they make you who you are — As a former heel, I know. Do your thing chica. I still stand by what I say. Back in the Trish/Lita/Jazz era, the women earned the title and fought for it. It meant so much. Women looked at them and wanted to be as great as them. It shouldn’t be about taking turns on who gets to put in on this week. It should be about who earned it and who brings credibility to it. I still wish it could have been Jillian, Katie or Gail to have that opportunity. All I wanted was to start a new era. To make those women proud to see we were keeping it alive.”

Accordign to Bryan Alvarez, the women really take these titles seriously and work hard, so more power to them. That’s probably why some improve so much with seemingly no outside motivation, as the WWE clearly doesn’t focus on the Divas the way they do the top male champions.
