HALL OF FAME FEVER PART 2: THE DIVAS SEARCH AND THE MODERN DAYS ERAS


This one will be the longest from this three pieces article!

Once Upon A Time there was the WWE /RAW Divas Search! A funny competition that allows every women who dreamed to be a wrestler or just to earn some fame, to participate and at the end the WWE Universe decide who is the winner. Yay! And there was always a model-like winner, and those models' signing were WWE Universe fault, not WWE's only!

But come on it wasn't that bad! People cheered when Maria, Candice, Ashley entered the ring. Some of the girls overgrowth the Divas Search Attitude and became a legacy-makers like Eve Torres, Layla, The Bella Twins. 

But simultaneously with the Divas Search competitors rising to fame, we got several, really into wrestling women like Beth Phoenix, Natalya, Mickie James, Melina who were there to revive the Golden era and to set the things up for the NXT Takeover and The Women's Revolution Angle.

CANDICE MICHELLE

Yes! Typical Divas Search contestant, not even a winner! But Candice became the first participant from this contest, who achieved a WWE Women's Championship reign by defeating her nemesis (kayfabe and reallife) -  Melina!

Candice survived Beth Phoenix in their first title match, and she had faced many of the greatest names back there including Trish Stratus, Lita, Victoria, Torrie Wilson, Mickie James, etc. So she proved that she was more than a pretty face and that she was ready for competition.


Who to induct her: Beth Phoenix
 
 GAIL KIM

Well, this one has some issues with WWE, and she is currently Impact Wrestling Hall of Fame Inductee. Her legacy for TNA/Impact Wrestling is the one you can't deny. She built their Knockouts division, with some help of course from Awesome Kong, Taryn Terrell, Madison Rayne, etc.

But Gail deserves to be included in WWE Hall of Fame, too, because she had her time and legacy back there. She is part of the Golden Age, but she is part of the pre-Revolution Stage, too. Maybe she thinks that no one fro WWE Universe respect her attempts to bring a lot of competition to the mat, but that's not true! We in AWOW and many WWE fans remember it! We still have our hopes and dreams somehow to see her back, fighting against Sasha Banks, Bayley, Charlotte, Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss, Paige, Emma and Nia Jax, even against Asuka!!! Meanwhile she deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame, or simply in WWE's Alumni Section!
Gail fought against many talented women from different eras like Melina, Stacy Keibler, Michelle McCool , etc. Actually, Gail Kim is the first and only woman, who WWE trusted enough, to books her to win her first (and only) WWE Women's Championship in her debut match, involving the six-iconic, legendary women - Trish Stratus, Molly Holly, Ivory, Victoria, Jacqueline and defending champion Jazz.

Who to induct her Trish, Molly Holly or Melina

MICKIE JAMES

Before AJ Lee, there was Mickie James! To be booked as a Crazy Chick is a working formula for success!

From Trish Stratus fan to amazing word wide known pro-wrestler, with so many accomplishments, Mickie James has already had her reservation for a Hall Of Fame spot. It's just a matter of time.  5-times Women's Champion, 1-time Divas Champion. Many independent titles wins. 3-times Knockout Champion. Her heated rivalries includes names like Trish Stratus, Lita, Victoria, Melina, Beth Phoenix, Lay-Cool, Madison Rayne, etc. Let's not forget her match against Asuka! 

Mickie is definitely a Hall of Fame material and we are sure that this will happen soon.  Until then we will sit and watch what she will bring to the table in WWE RAW brand, these days.

MELINA

You can't forget her! 

Melina was former-Diva, who helped to change people's perceptions about women's wrestling. She may fool you with her split-legged entrance, but once she step on the ring it was all about business, hard hits, stunning moves and SCREEEMS!

The talented wrestler started her career as a valet of MNM to reach the heights of 3-times WWE Women's Champion and 2-times WWE Divas Champion defeating the likes of Mickie James, Beth Phoenix, Alicia Fox and Jillian Hal, to accomplish it. She even faced the 7-times Women's Champion Trish Stratus, at one occasion.  

These days Melina is recognized as one of the best in the world female competitors. She is still competing, and we still have our hopes to see her back in WWE, for several matches against Mickie James, Asuka or others. Of course her legacy is enough to secure her place in WWE Hall of Fame, there is no doubt about that!

Who to induct her Jillian Hall, Beth Phoenix or Mickie James

 NIKKI AND BRIE 
THE BELLA TWINS

I have never thought, in a million years, that one day I will sit and write, how The Bella Twins deserve to be WWE Hall of Fame inductees. 

Today, looking at the way that this two had walked together, looking at the things that they both accomplished, together or alone, I can just bow down in a sign of respect! Aside from the Total Divas, constant intrigues and drama, The Bella Twins are some of the women, who we can honestly recognize them as the most developed and grown up as wrestlers. 

Both Brie Bella (1-time WWE Divas Champion) and Nikki Bella (2-timen WWE Divas Champion with the longest single reign in the history) definitely deserves that honor, with all of the improvement they achieved, during their decade long involvement with WWE! 

Who to induct them AJ Lee, Paige or Eve Torres

EVE TORRES

3-times WWE Divas Champion. 2007 Divas Search Winner. The second woman, to receive a great negative, heel reaction over a love angle/dumping a guy, after Lita!

Eve was definitely more than a gorgeous woman. She was someone with a really risky moves-set, really devoted to WWE in-ring competitions and backstage storylines. She was a top wrestler for a long-long time and her legacy is one to be remembered. 

In her career Torres had the opportunity to work with great, iconic wrestlers like Melina, Gail Kim, Beth Phoenix, Maryse, Kelly Kelly, Kharma, Michelle McCool, Layla and Natalya, but she accomlish a lot and prove everyone who thinks that the Divas Search Girls were not able to reach the top, several times. She was a great athlete, great actress and someone to remember for her great accomplishments.

Who to induct her Beth Phoenix, Kaitlyn or Michelle McCool

LAYLA AND MICHELLE McCOOL
THE LAY-COOL

Layla (1-time WWE Women's Champion, the last in the history; 1-time WWE Divas Champion; 2006 Divas Search Winner) and Michelle McCool (2-times WWE Women's Champion; 2-times Divas Champion, inaugural), both had their singles moment, but their greatest time was when they both were team Lay-Cool - the team who brings terror and anointment in WWE then-Divas division.
Lay-Cool are one of the memorable, female heels of all times. Mickie James, Beth Phoenix, Kelly Kelly, Natalya, Melina are some of the victims of their sarcasm, insulting jokes, and cheating- in-  matches strategies. Both McCool and Layla aside from the mean characters, were well established competitors, too. WWE Hall Of Fame is all-about wrestling legacy and the Lay-Cool, have it all!

Who to induct her: Beth Phoenix, Natalya, Vickie Guerrero or Kelly Kelly.

NATALYA

The Hart Queen showed a lot of different faces, through the years. From red-headed enforcer of Victoria, to Beth Phoenix partner on the path of Barbie-like-Divas' destruction, through the finals of the firs-ever WWE Divas Championship Tournament, to the hero who slain two headed dragon named Lay-Cool, to win the WWE Divas Championship.

This veteran is a really precious addition to WWE. Her precious experience is valuable for many of today's women. To have match against her is like a classroom session. She is really amazing as a tutor and maybe we can see her as future SmackDown Women's Champion, teaching the hardest lesson to the newest generation - how to fight hard and to chase your goal, with constant desire.
Nattie is a Hall of Fame material. She write her story in the book of history, she proved that she is one of the loyal WWE Emplyee and this spot in the Hall is just the smallest thing that WWE could do for her.

Who to induct her: Beth Phoenix or The Bella Twins

AJ LEE

One of the Best, who ever set foot in WWE's ring!

3-times WWE Divas Champion, with one of the longest single reigns in history, AJ Lee was the Geek Goddess, the Crazy Chick, who did a lot for WWE's women's division back at the time. She had one of the most charismatic gimmicks and despite being a heel most of the time she was also and fan's favorite, at the same time..

Many women fell victims of Lee's Black Widow hold, many women fell victims of Lee's crazyness. Her rivalries with Kaitlyn, Paige and The Bella Twins are sort of the most memorable and leading examples for a well structured rivalries and well built characters. AJ Lee is one of the well deserving candidates for WWE HoF induction, because of her multiple-sided talent and her great legacy.

Who to induct her: Kaitlyn or Paige
