Ya know, I have been thinking. I think I am way too hard on Melina. I really want her to succeed, but half of her matches are so incredibly sloppy. I'd really like her to come back and play the tweener between Fox/Eve and hell, even have Melina win the damn title around SS.
Same with Maryse, methinks. I am too judgmental with her. She seems to have the same problems as Melina: bumps well, kind of has a character/personality, but her actual in ring skills are beyond lackluster. I really like this pairing and I hope she sticks with valeting for a while, and lets Jillian play second fiddle to Fox.
The only real problem I have with Melina is that she is just always seemingly handed the title. She returned in late 08 and won the women's championship from Beth in early 09 in their first match. Then she was traded to RAW and won the diva's championship from Jillian on her first night. I really do not want to see Melina take the title off of Alicia Fox so soon.
But I have this horrible feeling they are going to scrap together a Divas Championship match for Summer Slam and have Melina take the title off of Fox.
That's because the Raw writers think if they just switch the title around every few months it counts as being fresh. I'd be willing to bet they have a list for Diva "storylines" that they just pick from and looks something like this:
a. Diva pins Champion in non-title match and Diva tag matches leading up to PPV.
b. Diva looks at challenger while sitting at ringside.
c. Champion loses
d. Trish wins
Considering how little I care for the Divas division, I choose option D.
Unless that was step-by-step, in which I still support step D.
