Total Divas & The Idea Of Social Media Networking

By Rob Sutter


When you work in such a field as professional wrestling, I believe that it's worth noting how many on the outside view this show as "fake." Whenever I have received that common criticism now, I point out how reality TV is not exactly real, either, so what difference does it make what I watch? "Total Divas" is the new reality show on the block and it has become nothing short of the definition of irony. That being said, how is it that social media networking can come into play alongside it?

E! has hosted a number of television shows and "Total Divas" happens to be the latest in its lineup. For those who are curious as to what this show is about, it is generally a program that follows around a group of seven girls, each of them hired by WWE. Viewers will be able to follow them around in order to see different parts of their lives, whether it has to do with business or personal matters. It's the kind of show that has earned quite a bit of criticism, good and bad alike.

There are a number of reasons why fans of wrestling have been against the concept of this show from the start. Keep in mind that the females on this show have been portrayed in one negative light after another that it's difficult to fully give the support that they are probably looking for. Natalya is probably the best example, seeing as how this ring veteran who's been employed by WWE since 2008 has become so down on herself that she fears someone else will take her spot. It's hard for me to comprehend this mindset.

On the other hand, I can see fans of reality television getting a kick out of "Total Divas" and this is where the target of social media networking should be focused on. For those who don't know, this is an important platform supported by firms like fishbat.This show has all of the elements that reality fanatics seem to crave, from the drama between the ladies to the relationship developments that seem to play out on their own onscreen. Maybe this show was created with a different audience in mind.

However, if this show is a case of granting the females of WWE more awareness, I don't think that this is the way to go about it. What's wrong with allowing these females to work on the main shows and have substantial time to have matches? It's not like these females aren't talented from bell to bell since they have the potential to have very strong matches. That being said, it doesn't seem like WWE is going to take its foot off of the gas of "Total Divas" anytime soon.
