Let's talk about the Diva's Title
I said I'd do this so...um yeah that thing. Once again I'll try not to reiterate ground that has already been beaten to death. Seriously it looks so sh*t. It looks like it's sold at Claire's, if your not British let me translate- it looks like sh*tty jewellery for 13 year olds. But yes it looks terrible but instead of just saying that in 50 different ways how does it compare to other women's title's at the time.
(From left to right: TNA's Knockouts World Championship, Shimmer's Shimmer Championship, Stardom's World of Stardom Championship, WWE's Women's Championship, Ice Ribbon's ICE Cross Infinity Championship and WOW's WOW World Championship)
In my opinion the most important thing for a wrestling title is that it looks like an accolade, that it looks like something people would want to win. And I think that all of these belt fit this criteria with some excelling but then again good looking championships are subjective (Knockouts Championship my beloved) so the important bit is that they look important and like well championships. The Diva's Title doesn't look like a championship, it looks like a really bad accessory.
Ok let's zoom in for a second and compare the diva's title to one of these other title, and because I have the most history with it, let's pick the TNA's Knockouts Championship. Okay first off while I know that cagematch isn't always the best place, I'd like to mention that it rates the Diva's title at 2.62 and the Knockouts one at 7.91. And now let's compare some reviews of these belts.
"Not as good as the women's title and division and never liked the look of the diva's belt. The division is too much about eye candy and not enough hardcore action. There are no true HC matches such as ladder, cage, TLC or no holds barred matches. Also tired of seeing the black divas used as jobbers and think Naomi should have a reign as divas champ and Alicia should have a second reign. Only one black woman has held the title so far in it's history which is not right in my view."
"A very poor championship. The very design of the belt itself represents inferiority and relegates the belt and all who hold it in limbo. It's not a representation of a true women's belt and has been designed more for a pr teen or adolescent. As the design of the belt is that of a pink butterfly. Nothing against butterflies per say but it seems to have purposely over feminized in such a way as to make it seem worth much less then every other belt on the roster. I actually find the belt somewhat offensive and do not take it seriously. There have been a lot of great women's wrestlers that have held the belt but they and the belt are so-called Divas which in my opinion marginalizes them and the title itself."
A scathing admonishing of this belt, it's role in the company and the treatment of it's women. Now compare.
"While a lot of dumb things - lockboxes, hypnotism, ect. but it is still a bright spot, especially during the 2000's period where only TNA and places like shimmer cared for woman's wrestling, and there have been plenty of fun matches for this title, still a good title, just needs some for focus on the title."
I think that the KO Belt has a higher batting average of good feuds and good matches.
Ok fun game time, Name a good Diva's title match.
Ok sorry that was a bit hard, Name a good Diva's title feud.
Maybe you could, but I couldn't. And that's part of why this Title was sh*t (wow I've said sh*t a lot in this post) I can't name a single good thing to come out of it...maybe Paige Vs AJ...maybe Paige Vs Charlotte excluding the really uncomfortable reference to Charlotte's dead brother. Also it's design and name do a lot of work to undermine the women who held it, but I think you knew that already. It's important to mention though. They didn't call them 'women', they f*cking called them 'divas'
In conclusion, I have talked about the Diva's title for far too long and would like to stop. At least things are a bit better now. A bit.
This has been Undisputed Queer-a.
Slay The System, Shock The Cis-tem, and see you next Monday.

that main event was pure cinema , some avengers shit. roman’s inability to get over his biggest betrayal cost him his title (seth ain’t shit😭). everything just kept getting crazier by the minute but it was damn good! from taker to john fucking cena (that’s father).
for this to be my first wrestlemania since watching again , i had the time of my life yesterday and today. every match was so entertaining and the little storylines within them were beautifully constructed (some could’ve been built better). i feel like a kid again , this was actually a really fun weekend. now i can’t wait to see what the new era looks like (let’s pray they bring in a mid-card title for the women’s main roster🙏🏽).

The Way and Katana/Kayden are really the only legitimate tag teams WWE has right now. Conveniently, both are face teams perfect to go up against the Kabuki Warriors
