While watching RAW Tuesday morning, there were a few things that I thought
I would discuss that have been nagging on my mind. These diatribes that have
been building need to be addressed, and as usual, I do not pull any punches on any subject.
The subjects being the women of wrestling, and before you all say "Again?" lets realize that women in wrestling are
there and need to be talked about. Whether it be a woman to talk about them or
guys drooling over them, the characters and their progress needs to be looked at just as much as people nagging over Triple
H or WrestleMania or anything else that may have crossed their minds and their keyboards.
The past several weeks we have been seeing a female variety of Kane
walking RAW in Miss Molly. Yes, the character is solid and very intense, and
I like it. She has been the innocent and the sweet lady that we all just love
to cheer for then move to that crazy psycho that cuts us off in traffic. The
idea that a former superhero sidekick could wrestle her way through the womens division has showed that she can do anything. The more I see her out there pressing the issue of women having strong characters
on wrestling gives new meaning to a womens movement.
Since Im on the womens division, I would like to say congratulations
to Victoria for holding onto the womens title and making it something to treasure. When
she won the title a few weeks back, it was incredible to see her facial expressions and show that it means that much to her. Why shouldnt the womens title mean as much to the ladies as the World Heavyweight
Title does to the men? Its the female version.
Does anyone see another womens title up in WWE that they could hope for? No. This writer has seen womens tag team title matches and would love to see them again. However, this would require Vince and the rest of WWE to bring in more female talent
Before the nay Sayers start in with I haven't seen any, check again. I have given countless examples of women in wrestling that would more than adequately
fit the bill. Keep looking in the independent circuit for that next superstar. TNA has. They have some of the brightest
female talent in the sport. With Trinity and the returning Desire, these two
ladies are set to bring on some hefty competition to the Divas of Titan Towers. After
a year off for a back injury, Desire is back and ready to bring on the rumble, especially when her run towards a stellar career
was interrupted by a back injury. Congratulations and welcome back to this young
lady and it will be great to see you in the ring.
Looking back up at Connecticut, the reappearance of Gail Kim has shown
that she is willing to work to get where she needs to be. Granted that she had
to take two steps back with an injury, but now shes back and ready to go. The
submission move that she placed on Victoria on Monday night is a force to be dealt with.
She has finally proven that she is ready for WWE and the title that was placed around her waist in her debut. If she keeps up the intensity that she has inside, Gail will be around for many years
to come.
Before finishing up this column, there are a few things I would like
to address. After talking with Ginger over the past couple of weeks, there have
been a few things that have come to my attention. She has told me of emails that
have been sent to her about where is Lekisha? She was my favorite writer and
she has vanished. Trust me darlings, I have not vanished, just been keeping a
close eye on my readers as well as the other columnists. Be careful what you
say about others, when we all have worked to make it on staff. I have been on
staff with Colin for over four years; I trust Colin and his judgment on who is here and who isnt here. Colin knows of my situations, especially with school, marriage and wrestling careers on the weekends, he
knows that I am around and will continue to be around. No one has been able to
unseat this writer, and that will continue to stay the way it is. Be looking
for more articles from this writer, as well as more in depth looks into wrestling that most writers have never dared to try.

Until next column, stay safe and behave.
