Do you guys think they could get their own show sometime? With the imminent arrival of the ladies tag titles which will be interbranded makes more sense just to have all the women on their own show rather than certain people ju ping from brand to brand
I'm really not a fan of the women's stuff, id much rather see guys like Tye dillinger featured rather than multiple women's matches and segments.

No. It’s end up in the same void as NXT UK or 205 where it’s good but is anyone watching?

I have always been critical of women and tag teams being split up over separate shows. Just a handful of talent entrusted with carrying the entire division. Two or three usually stand out because of their talent. When someone else is pushed into the spotlight, it typically feels unnatural and forced. The tag divisions are easy to refresh since so many male talents can be put together. The women's divisions are much harder to maintain interest. Just so many combinations you can generate with a dozen or so women.
After all that said, women won't be shoved off Raw or Smackdown. The main stars would still get plenty of TV time even if they had a show of their own. Possibly even be in more throwaway matches, with those of any importance being saved for the brand show or PPV's.

Nope. Wrestling is a variety show, and moving all the women wrestlers off the main show reduces the variety. It also makes the number of possible main events smaller - with no Becky, Charlotte etc to go in the main slots on Raw sometimes, we'd see even more Strowman vs Corbin rematches every week.

Have some empathy, bub. Look at it from the female wrestlers' perspective. They train their whole lives to be a wrestler, to make it to the legendary RAW/SD shows, and just on a whim you decide nope, women don't get to have that achievment anymore because you dont like them.

I don't look at it negatively to give them their own show. I think they've earned it and deserve it. I think the females are more over with the general audience (not the hardcore forum visiting iwc) than most of the guys.
The show would get tons of viewers. Especially if it was the only way to see the women.
With Smackdown on FOX, how crazy would it be to have the main roster men on it and then turn RAW into a Women's only show.

I would like them to make a women's only show but I don't think the demand would be there to watch it on a consistent basis.
Probably best for them to just do a women's only PPV a couple times a year.

That would be a cool experiment, do it for a month and see what happens. I have to agree with Sting though, as in I dont think people would sign up for WWE Network just to watch the womens' matches (i dig them, but even so i cant afford yet another monthly bill, for example. Keeping them on TV would give the all-womens show a fighting chance. Keep banging out the PPVs when the time seems right. Someone who is into women's promotions like SHIMMER, feel free to chime in. |

Absolutely! The women definitely deserve their own brand. I know the majority of fans don't feel the same way, but I personally find myself more invested in women's wrestling than men's wrestling. A fraction of time on the weekly brands simply isn't enough, not for me at least. With the success of the Mae Young Classic over the past couple of years, they've been signing more and more female talent to developmental. What happens in a couple of years when they've simply called too many women up? They can't extend the weekly RAW/SDL duration, so the clear solution is to give them their own brand. With Women's Tag Team titles now introduced, it's more obvious that WWE need to expand to support their growing female roster, because that's at least one more match added to each PPV.
The success of Evolution proved that there definitely is an audience for women's wrestling in WWE, despite some fans continuously claiming the contrary. If they can put on an all-female PPV, why not a weekly all-female brand?
I think an all-women's brand is inevitable, just like women main eventing WrestleMania. It's just a question of when, rather than if.

They've just spent the last 5 years trying to get them on the same level as the men. I don't think this would help at all.

No, segregating the women to their own show would be seen as a negative thing. I'm surprised people think otherwise.

i eas actually thinking the other day what if the woman got their own show loke 205 live. would it be a positive or negative thing. it would be more negative than positive i think since they would only be showcased on a specific show.
i could see it working if they kept both raw and SD womans divisions AND haf a weekly show. me personally though im good with having the womans division on each show and i wouldnt watch an all womans weekly show. there's already way too much content weekly

Ive said numerous times that they need to elevate NXT as a legit 3rd brand. Let 205 be the "attraction" there, move tag teams to RAW to be the attraction there and move women to SDL to be the attraction there. The hour you were using for 205 before/after SD could then be used for a womens show to be aired on the network and 205 would have a much more favorable crowd at Full Sail then a half asleep non interested SD crowd.
While women have drawing power for a big event like Evolution, realistically they arent going to be able to go on tour themselves & fill arenas. They still need to be tied into one of the big brands.

Imagine a world where an all female roster could draw on their own without stripping.
Wow. What a thought it was. Back to reality.

Instead of giving them their own show they could just make them the main feature on Smackdown (with some men's matches) with the men being the main feature on RAW (with some female matches). This may help with the writing raw being 3 hrs and ratings dropping during the third hour. However, they would have to get rid of the two brands and belts (only one world champion and tag champion). Though I doubt they will go this route.

What kinda attendance does companies like Shimmer, Shine & WOW pull in? I think that would be a much more telling sign as to what kind of drawing power an "all womens roster" has then a WWE backed, RAW & SDL promoted 1 off pay per view would.

I would like it as I feel that women’s wrestling is a different product than men’s. and I’m just not interested in women wrestling. that said, they are clearly very popular and a lot of people enjoy what they’re doing.
