Casey Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Are AJ's tweets really deleted if you can still view them under the "Tweets & replies" link? Because they're still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait till Steph takes AJ and Twitter to court over these comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagan Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 AJ is right in theory, but Arquette's speech wasn't exactly about equal pay for people on TV. AJ can make more signing autographs at comic shows than a lot of people will working 40 hours a week. Her and Punk (and Cabana) have some hilarious lack of perspective about unfair treatment.

Casey Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 WWE dictates who gets those signing appearances, though. Unless you mean when she inevitably gets released/her contract expires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 In any event nothing on Earth would make me happier than seeing an AJ/Steph feud that culminates in a match where Steph looks like a Grizzly Bear mauling a small child. I'm picturing this and adding in generic roaring grizzly bear noises and giggling to myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I don't think running an angle where women are being mistreated by management is a great idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 There's a massive divide between Stephanie the social media/business person and Stephanie the character. AJ's going into business for herself here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Paige just posted this on her instagram. I don't know what's going on but if it leads to some decent divas matches on RAW, I'm okay with it. https://instagram.com/p/zghfkcRpm-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wealthy people can never be upset about anything, I guess. Yes, I don't think that AJ's higher profile and money-making ability erase the fact that she and other women get less opportunity than they should. I lean that it's just AJ going off on her own if only because I'm not sure how a "WWE discriminates against women" angle is a good idea. It could work, but would need the sort of subtlety and self-awareness that the writers on the main shows can't drum up. Also, it would take WWE actually giving their women a chance to reach a dedicated audience beyond having arguments and moments of lipstick lesbianism on Total Divas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 in the spirit of #GiveDivasAChance... it'd be a hilarious mindfuck on the audience if they had an squadron of Divas takeover RAW and had a 2 hour run with 6 Divas matches, and the only match involving men being an 8-man tag that goes for 2 minutes. In the spirit of things, Corey Graves got eaten alive today for trying to use #givedivasachance as a way to try to market NXT, along with some general dumbfuckery and typical WWE hypocrisy. Why, exactly, are people upset with him? Is "#GiveDivasAChance" not about wrestling? Basically, he tried to use the old "they'll make their own chance" argument, which sounds way too much like "get yourself over". He went on to say something along the lines of "just look at the women in NXT", which is a fair point, but he was ripped a new one because the whole hashtag was created in response to the 30 second match on Raw.

It came off like him riding a popular hashtag to be a company shill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 anyway, Vince actually responded to the hashtag on Twitter. "We hear you.

Burgundy LaRue Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 What Graves said was obtuse. How the hell is anyone going to get over with a 30-second joke match? He was inconsiderate of the RAW Divas who have to put up with this BS. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
