Kelly Kelly recently gave an interview in which she was promoting the 2nd season of WAGS; I have no idea what WAGS is so I'm wondering if it's some sort of Kardashian or Real Housewives sort of deal? Anyhow, when asked about the women's division, she had this to say:
"They're putting a lot more focus on the women too, but I feel like they're shying away from the era of what I was, of the models. I don't really feel like there's a fan favorite girl right now. And I don't feel like there really has been... sorry I probably am speaking out of turn... but like AJ was a fav, and you know what I mean, now, right now, I don't feel like there's somebody that the crowd can get behind."
She didn't come off all bitchy about it or rake it over the coals or anything along those lines really. To me, it came off more misinformed than anything else. During Kelly Kelly's day, there were very, very, very few women who got any sort of real response from the fans and most of the ones who did got it mostly from men who were ogling the women in their skimpy little outfits. Most of the women from her "era" were not only given very little time to do matches or really have any storylines, but most of them just couldn't wrestle whatsoever. I was sort of expecting her to go into some sort of rampage of hate on the women's division like Sunny did, though Sunny was probably high as hell at the time and is of the opinion that the job of women in pro wrestling is to be highly paid fluffers.
The women's division is never going to be "perfect", there's always going to be something going on at any given time that somebody's not going to like, but I very much disagree with her comment about there not being someone that crowds can get behind. Aside from Kelly Kelly and AJ, most of the women in the division prior to about a year ago hardly got any sort of reaction whereas fans are definitely interested in Charlotte, Paige, Becky Lynch and especially Sasha Banks.
