Where's this happening because I'd like to see it? We've had other promotions booking Women seriously for a decade, but now WWE is so fucking wonderful for finally catching up after single handedly pushing it to the mainstream and and doing a long overdue Women's PPV, Never mind that it's happening now when there's no real metric for success/failure nationally because they're running the Nassau and we're out of the PPV age.

hammerva Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Hard to say that the women's division is booked better when you have the never ending Sasha vs Bayley feud on RAW and you have Asuka look like a loser on Smackdown 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overly Critical Man Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 The women have been booked dreadfully all year. Can't really say they deserve their own show considering how abysmal they've all been. I would've said they deserved one last year, when they weren't looking like total jokes.

MORELOCK Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I think what Kyuubi said was more of an indictment of just how shitty the men's booking has been - the women's looks much better by comparison. 2 hours ago, Sublime said: I don't think people think Alexa is bad just not at the level of other women to put on high level matches. There are definitely a couple of loudmouths here that think Alexa is the worst thing to ever happen to the women's division. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Mickie James posted on Twitter that she wants one more match with Trish Stratus at Evolution. That match would be a great addition to the card. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Doing a full on PPV, but we need to book late Attitude Era talent to sell it.. Yeah, they are booking the women just like the men. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I could do without Lita as she never got any better in the ring. I wouldn't mind if Trish, Beth Phoenix, or Molly Holly made an appearance or had some kind of "legends match". I would definitely try to ignore the "divas era" as that was mostly trash. I don't want to see the Bellas on and I certainly don't want to see Michelle McTaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy for the women wrestlers getting their own PPV with the rise in quality from NXT in 2015 to the present day (feels like a makeup for the Greatest Royal Rumble debacle) along with women's versions of men's matches: HIAC/MITB/RR/EC. Steph has to take credit for #GiveDivasAChance because there's no fucking way they'll credit it to AJ. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Honestly - I have a feeling it is a company directive to have the women talk about all these dream matches they could have when they already know they aren't doing any of them. Just like how it was a company directive to have all the talent tweeting about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if she loses, I don't think it will be on account of "optics" regarding the efficacy of the PC in developing talent. They treat high profile talent from outside so favourably upon arrival that I don't worry about those things at the NXT level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Steph interview with Sky Sports If she will be wrestling at Evolution: (Laughter) “That’s yet to be determined, we want to make sure our superstars really get the spotlight they deserve but if it makes sense then absolutely. But that’s yet to be determined.” If Women’s Tag Team Titles will be revealed at Evolution: “Not quite yet but that’s absolutely something we’ve heard loud and clear from our fan base and it’s something we’re keen on implementing as soon as we are able to.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She isn't good. Name her 5 best matches.. I'm interested in seeing what you consider "more than qualified" as you put it. She's had a couple "ok" matches and that's about it.

Alexa gets the character aspect of wrestling down very well but I haven't been impressed with her matches as a whole. Her heat segments can be a death but I understand that could be only partially her fault because WWE loves a long, drawn out, dull heat segment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godfrey Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 My personal opinion is that Alexa has a great heel persona but can’t wrestle like one. She should probably wrestle like an underdog babyface but as we saw in NXT, that didn’t work too well. If she can pull off a Rock-like turn it would probably help a lot.

hammerva Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Well to be fair I can't name any of the RAW women's 5 best matches except Mickie James. At least not on the main roster shows. Most of the women who were great in NXT have regressed under crappy booking and/or injuries. Would I like to see the title put on someone like Ruby Riot or Ember Moon. Sure but hell they already have Ember jobbing to Sara Logan for fuck sakes. This is really not worth arguing because there is no chance Bliss is going over Ronda Rousey anyway.

Raziel Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 There's a difference between "not top tier" and "so shitty she's actively making the division worse by her presence" The larger problem is WWE is guilty of "Flavor of the Month" booking the women, where they'll book one super strong going over everyone, regardless of *anything*, then move on to something else when Vince decides he's bored with this one, and then the rest are stuck to languish with not a whole lot of anything, and they don't go back to something older.

Like I said, you only need wait until Summerslam and Ronda wins, and whoever the next thing Vince decides to push on SDL is, then you won't have to worry about seeing them near the titles anymore.
