Which Golden Era Divas Would Succeed Today?

[Brandon]

In the Women's Revolution era.

I think Victoria, Gail, Molly and Jazz would have no problem putting on the caliber of matches of matches Charlotte and 'em pull off today if they had their time. Trish was no stranger to botches but I think she could have been carried, and her character work and mic skills would be more than enough to make her a top player. I feel like Lita might would be exposed though, nnnn.

When I first glanced at this I thought it said Vickie Guerrero and was so confused.

I think Torrie showed at the Rumble she could fit right in with the current crop.

Trish - yes. If Alexa can succeed then so can Trish.

Lita - I think you're right. She was the weakest wrestler of the core division and she also benefited back then by being unique at the time. But I definitely think she'd have a career on account of her charisma.

Victoria - yes

Molly - yes

Gail Kim - yes, though it would take her a while to get to grips because she was so new.

Jazz - she's probably the one that would benefit most I think. Imagine Jazz vs Asuka or Sasha or Ember.

Jacqueline - probably a similar veteran role.

Ivory - heel Ivory would be immense. Otherwise another veteran.

Torrie - as a character and pretty Face maybe, but she'd be a bit stuck on account of the lack of bikini contests. Maybe a Miss Elizabeth sort of valet. As a wrestler she was never good and I don't really see her being good in any era because I don't think she ever wanted to be or enjoyed it, going by interviews.

Stacy - Sort of similar to Torrie, although I could see Stacy doing well as a heel valet or manager. Basically I don't think these two would be quite as over in this era, but would always get hired purely on account of their beauty.

Dawn Marie - she'd probably stuggle, But could do the heel valet thing perhaps.

Nidia - I think she'd do great if they found a Noble character again and would transition into a good underdog babyface if they gave her time, much like in real life. She was very unfortunate in that she moved to Raw just as they were completely rebranding things with the Diva Search and altering the goal posts.

Jackie and Shaniqua - I see them kinda lingering in NXT. Jackie would be a permanent undercard girl. Shaniqua would get an early monster push but would quit early.

And if we're talking the tail end of the era then Melina and Mickie would do great, Beth would do well but maybe would take a little longer to unleash the Glamazon, and Jillian would be a fun enhancement talent.

Trish would probably still be the top star. 2003 on Trish anyway. Imagine her as a heel feuding with Bayley. She'd absolutely destroy her on the mic and make what Alexa did to her look tame.

Lita would probably be super reckless like Sasha and almost cripple herself in her big matches. Remember how often she'd almost land on her head with that hurricanrana. And she'd attempt even more extreme stuff these days to keep up with the others.

I can see Molly being in a spot like Natalya. Never the top star but still getting title reigns and turning heel/face fairly often.
