Mickie and Beth may be the only Divas that can be used in TNA. The wrestling quality of the Diva line up compared to the Knockout line up is different as nice and day. It may be "generalized" but when you are talking about the overall product you can't say that WWE womens wrestling is great or even good when there are only a small handful of their members that can actually go. TNA's aren't the most beautiful, but the majority there can put on a legitimate wrestling show.

As far as demeaning goes... when you are talking about the context of wrestling, and the staple match for your group is a bra and panties match, it is demeaning as a stand point of a wrestler, maybe not so much as a woman. To play the opposite side of things, the second we have a Angle vs Joe thong match, is the second that I quit watching wrestling.
