No doubt [Vince] McMahon desperately wants to make as money as he can given the economic times but the reality television is the last thing he should embark on.

While I enjoy this pair for the energetic and pleasant screen presence, I do not enjoy what is/has been captured on camera for the reality series "Total Divas". Most of us know reality TV is mostly scripted to capture the worst in people and with that said, this is not what these women, especially the newer talent such as the Bellas, Eva Marie and the pair of Cameron and Naomi need to do. For certain it does not enhance their careers. If anything, I feel that series only harms their careers. It is clear this is a WWE soap stylized as "reality tv" as anyone watching can see 1. All the "characters" involved in the day-to-day activities are WWE-employed i.e wrestlers dating other wrestlers (or divas in this case). 2. The series is not advertised on any major network channels other than SyFy and uSa.

It could also be noted that mainstream media viewers do not and have not shown a significant interest in "lives" of wrestlers outside the ring--in other words they don't care. This honestly isn't anything new. Clearly professional wrestling has lost a significant portion of its fan base over the years for many reasons that I can't possibly begin to name in this discussion.

My personal advice to these ladies is that it's time for them to re-evaluate their careers: where do they want to go? What do they truly want to be known for? True wrestlers? True models? Actresses, what? If they really want their careers and their reputations to carry some weight then they are better served to leave this reality televisions gig as quickly as they can. And if Vince doesn't like that then it should be a wake-up call to him to realize that the series was a waste and shouldn't be attempted again. WWE's divas are making spectacles of themselves and certainly not in a positive light.

Time to leave that leaky ship before it sinks.
