Divas question

This thread isn't going to go well.

The reason women's wrestling has become so popular lately is because Triple H thinks the opposite of the way you do. He took the talented women and made them, for the most part, as much of an attraction as the men. He didn't see them as "eye candy". He saw them as equal performers and the crowd responded when they put on great matches.

If you stopped watching in 2006, then you would have been around to see Trish and Lita main event RAW in 2004. You know what women can do when placed in the spotlight and allowed to flourish with a legitimate storyline and characters for someone to care for. It shouldn't be a question, then, that over a decade later, other women were able to accomplish the same feat.

So you're telling me that HHH found a way to showcase women's wrestling with it being a failure. HHH has succeeded where other national "all women's" promotions have failed?

Also how long has women's wrestling been featured so heavily on wwe tv?

But that all happened in NXT.  Inside a WWE ring on a WWE show is a different story for the ladies sadly.

I have seen Sasha in NXT and she wrestled a whole lot better there than she does on Raw or Smackdown.  I always felt that if the ladies who want to wrestle, just go to NXT and wrestle there.  The ladies who want to be on Total Divas and be a reality star, stay on the WWE TV and wrestle there.  That would be the smart thing for Vince to have happen.

Then everyone can at least get enjoyment out of it.  The lady wrestlers/divas, and the fans themselves.

Find Bayley/ Sasha from NXT Brooklyn and watch it, that will answer your questions better than anyone in here can

What's going on is that instead of teaching the women how to "work" (which means to go out with a general idea of what they are going to do. Working means you know the finish, maybe a few highspots, and how long you are going to be out there. Working means listening to the crowd and organically going through your shine, heat, hope, and comeback spots.) ,they are teaching them how to "DDP work" (which means to follow a script to the T. Nothing is organic this way, but to 99% of the audience there is not a difference.). So, the women in developmental are getting REALLY good at being comfortable with the script. Not mulking up their minds with the intricacies of "working" frees them up to come across as more fluid. Instead of worrying about the crowd, they just have to worry about hitting their cues. Now, in developmental the women are given 10-20 minutes to do these things. Another BIG part is that they have very talented agents working with them. If they were on the main roster, these agents would get heat for the things they let the women do (because the WWE management are very fickle people. If you aren't in the main event and you get over, either through your work or your character you are punished. Zack Ryder, Dolph Ziggler, Harry Smith, Carlito all found this out the hard way) ,but since they're not slaves to the mood swings of Kevin Dunn and Vince, they are allowed to "run amok" as it would seem. To better understand the difference between "work" and "DDP work" realize this; Savage/Steamboat is often praised as one of the best WM matches of all time. Now, listen to a real worker talk about that match and you'll hear a completely different opinion, because every detail of that match was scripted. Remember, that sort of thing goes over the head (and quite frankly, doesn't matter) of 99.5% of the people who watch that match. But to someone who is educated in such things, the 2 are night and day. Working is an art form. What they are doing is acting, which is a craft.

So, in developmental, the girls are free to be coached into being quality wrestlers. All of this buzz you are hearing about things being better in the WWE is nothing more that reverberations coming from developmental, because the girls are not allowed to have the same kind of matches they have in developmental on the main roster. There is also a very noticeable change in the amount of women who have huge implants. The only way that they're a "bigger part of the show" is this - When you watched, RAW was 2 hours and had 1 Women's segment. Now, RAW is 3 hours and 75% of the time they get 2 segments. Recently, one of the women was given a "record" breaking title reign COMPLETELY OUT OF SPITE to CM Punk and his wife AJ Lee, who both left the company in the last couple of years. To further throw fuel onto the "WWE is a place ran by fickle people", the woman in question who was the recipient of the "record breaking" title reign was John Cena's real life girlfriend.

Furthermore, this whole "Diva's Revolution" is nothing more than an exploration in masturbatory pleasure for Stephanie and HHH. On the WWE main shows, we are lead to believe that it is a result of Stephanie bringing up 3 girls from developmental. Nothing else really happened outside of the announcers saying "HASH TAG GIVE DIVAS A CHANCE IS TRENDING!". While, down in developmental, the audience is (very subtly I must say) being forced to believe that HHH is responsible for the whole thing. Of course, before HHH "invented" a developmental "brand", JR and Jim Cornette were doing the same thing in OVW.

Also, dude... some of the best wrestling matches of all time have come from women in Japan. These girls were trained in the same sort of Dojo setting as the men and thrived. Your ignorance on the subject is completely forgivable, but next time before making declarations like "women should only be eye candy", have some dignity and think about how it makes you sound. I'm not saying you are a sexist, misogynist person, but your comments on the role of women if pro wrestling came across that way. lol... but I think you knew that!

Yeah, in my delusional rant I did forget to mention that the whole reason they ran with the the whole HASHTAGGIVEDIVASACHANCE thing was because Rhonda Rousey was setting the PPV box office on fire. Just another, classic example of Vince getting a new Buzz Lightyear (because the neighbor kid got one), playing with it for a week or 2, and then going back to Woody.

The women of WWE have and always will be Limited on what they can do in the ring.They don't want the women to be better than the men instead of treating them equal like other wrestling brands.People can say what they want about TNA but at least they didn't make there women look weak compared to the men.Hell in TNA and Lucha Underground women compete with the guys like it's no problem something WWE doesn't even do.

People like Cameron, the Bella Twins and most of the Total Divas cast give womens wrestling a bad image with their putrid matches and off-screen personalities
