WWE Divas of the Decade : Gail Kim

The division of the divas in world wrestling entertainment is not the same anymore. There was a time when divas used to feature in some tremendous feuds and story lines and sometimes, in the main events too. Stephanie McMahon and Lita featured on the main event of Raw on August 21, 2000. And Lita also featured in a Monday night Raw main event against Trish Stratus on December 6, 2004. The women’s championship was on the line in both matches. But that was a long ago.

You can’t dare to think about a divas match on the main event. Nowadays, divas like Kelly Kelly and the Bella Twins can even snatch the championship gold. WWE has released most of their good divas like Victoria, Mickie James, of course Serena Deeb, she was one of my personal favorites. Beth Phoenix is also history. The division of the divas has to improve. We have shared an article before about how to improve the division of the divas. We hope it would improve and will regain its lost days. In this series of articles, we will discuss about the best divas of the last decade. In the first part of this series, we will talk about the former World Wrestling Entertainment women’s champion Gail Kim.
