I find it funny that the majority of the people who are for women having their own show are very vocal about their dislike/disinterest in women's wrestling.

Thanks for proving my point further. The show sold out and was universally praised so, nah, it didn't really.

No, that would just be overkill. They've already been overdoing it by trying way too hard to make history with all the first evers. It all feels so forced.

First of all you can't base the idea of women doing well on their own by only providing one example. You need multiple scenarios with multiple variables to decide if they can. Secondly it actually wasn't universally praised. It was a one time stand alone PPV that didnt even reach view counts/virality that normal episodes/clips from Raw and Smackdown get. Seems you've decided to cherry pick articles regarding the reception of said PPV even though most of them clearly state the Women would need their own weekly episodic series in order to draw and sell out regularly or even be able to guage said ability. A weekly show of just WWEs Women would be competing with 205 live that's about it.

If anyone here is into MMO video games, imagine if you could block all the people who don't play the way you want to, so all that's left is like-minded people you do want to play with? That's awesome, segregation creates a more enjoyable environment for the individual groups, in that particular example.
Of course, that's not always the case. There's no shortage of extreme and tame examples, like Blacks/Japanese in America or the fat kid during recess. Some people want a "Block Button" for life.

My suggestion is that a women's only show would defeat the entire point of the Women's (R)Evolution.

Part of me says yes they should like 205 live, but then like with 205 live I wouldn’t watch it. So having a matche or two on RAW/SD/PPV’s is better. Unless it was something like they have their own weekly show, but still have their top 2 stories on RAW & SD. And just keep the PPV’s as is with a mix of everything.

Womens wrestling, like cruiserweights is a niche group. Both need to be tied into a bigger brand for them to succeed. Sadly I feel tag team wrestling has gone this route as well which is why I suggested the scenario back on page 1 of having all 3 of them exclusive to 1 specific show.

No thanks. It would just exist like 205 live and NXT UK. It exists, but no one cares.

Fun fact: the original concept for Smackdown was exactly this.

I don't know about their own show. It would be a good idea if WWE didn't have too much weekly content already. But I do think that all the women should be on one show. Put all the women on Raw, unify the two titles, create a women's mid card title and with the tag titles you've got a full fledged division.
Then you put all the cruiserweights on SD and get rid of 205 Live. Now you've got better opportunities for those who otherwise wouldn't have them and you've got something to differentiate the two shows.

No!
They dont do anything crazy like 205live or amazing matches like the NXT or Main event guys.. They're TLC matches: wack. Ladder/MITB match: Nothing amazing. Hell in a Cell: ok
So again... No!

Run a monthly or quarterly 1.5 or 2 hour show and stream it on the network
