What's the point of purposefully, actively not watching women's wrestling in 2017? It's a lower-quality product to me. The performances in and out of the ring are subpar and just do nothing for me. Same reason I'd never watch the WNBA. I wasn't trying to get into a debates about the merits of women's wrestling, I simply said that because I honestly didn't realize her finisher was a belly-to-belly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 The Woman's match was awesome. I think it's my MOTY so far. Either that or the Revival/DIY rematch. Great storytelling and work. Charlotte is my leader for March Madness. She's so friggin' great -- perfect at being an entitled priss who is also as damn good as she thinks she is. Your "they changed the titles again" is my "oh, dope, the women have another MOTYC in 20-minute main event." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bink_winkleman Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I don't mind the title changes, but have they had a main with the women yet where the title didn't change hands? My complaint is the predictability. The match tonight was great and I'm glad Bayley won. It's the cycle here that's problematic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggulator Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 The woman's title is like one of those eras where Federer, Nadal and Novak were winning majors interchangeably. No one really has the upper hand but all three are the best. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagan Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 There's always something very clever about the fact that, of course, Charlotte Flair is really good at regaining her title. Her dad lost the NWA title all the time and then within a month would win it back. I presume PWI would get floods of letters saying Dusty Rhodes was ruined the way people claim Sasha Banks was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 42 minutes ago, Fallacy! said: If we're going to stretch the "hugger" thing that far then her finisher should really be the bear hug. Bear Hug is a giant's move and Bayley is tiny. Her using a Bear Hug makes even less sense than the Belly to Belly which is not only thematic with her gimmick, it is also the classic giant killing baby face finisher..

Niners Fan in CT Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 titles changing hands frequently can happen. I was fine with The Rock and Mankind doing this sorta thing. I don't think they devalue the title, it depends on how it's booked. Like, I thought at Hell in a Cell Sasha should have won but all the other matches I didn't have an issue with. It's far worse when the title is being vacated every other week or random dudes are winning the I.C. title for no reason just to lose to another guy. That was the WCW 2000/RAW Attitude Era stuff that was pretty bad. Look at the UFC women's division. There was a lot of belts changing hands. It happens. But now maybe they've got a dominant champion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 She would need to be so cute about it, her opponents would try and avoid it at all costs. Like rudos being kissed by Maximo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 People weren't saying Sasha/Bayley or Sasha/Becky were MOTYCs for the hell of it. They legitimately were some of the best matches of the year. The women can fucking wrestle. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I always preferred the B titles changing often (US, TV, etc) while world champs kept it for long periods of time. (More than 6 months, less than bob's 6 years). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key is the "to me" that makes the whole thing technically true and very Spicer-like. "The Godfather Part 3 is the best of the trilogy to me." "Metallica's first three albums are their least exciting to me." "Don Lemon is the most authentic voice speaking on behalf of the black community to me." All of these are technically possibly true statements. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fallacy! Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Jesus, I don't like women's wrestling. That's it. Holding that opinion shouldn't call for a congressional investigation, or even derail a weekly RAW thread. Let's all try to move on with our lives.
