As opposed to the WWE Men's Division?

I always find it funny how in WWE lore she started the women's revolution, yet when she was in creative the bra & panties era was in full effect. The Stephanie McMahonization was probably the worst trope of WWE TV from 2013-2018. If you had a favorite during that time & they crossed paths with her, then the wrestler in question sadly got emasculated & verbally colonoscopied. |

I think it comes down to the women stepped up their game, while the men stayed on the same level. Fresh is more exciting

Bayley.
But seriously, so many people act like women’s wrestling is worse or less than men’s. I’d much rather watch a pretty woman act/dance/sing/wrestle. It’s entertainment, not a real sport. I don’t need hairy, sweaty Drew McIntyres and big beefy Brauns slapping their meat together and doing middle school drama.
They’ll say “I don’t watch wrestling to get titillated.” Neither do I, but it wouldnt hurt.

Ronda Rousey got famous in UFC, which paved the way for Stephanie McMahon to push for a more serious, competitive women’s division as part of raising WWE’s brand engagement with women. A lot of the “Divas” roster weren’t that kind of wrestler (but were important for the WWE brand in building the reality shows), but Triple H was producing a new generation of women in NXT who were up to the challenge of raising the bar.

If anything the women's division has went downhill in the past year or two.
I felt in 2016 they had something good happening. And in 2017 they really reached their peak.
But I also feel they were building up the women's division because they knew Ronda Rousey was coming in. And when Ronda was there, the women's division was the main factor over the men's division.
When Ronda Rousey left the WWE, things changed. Becky Lynch could be as over as all hell, but the fact remains, she isn't Ronda Rousey.
During the time when Ronda was there, the women even had their own PPV designated for them! You won't be seeing that happen again any time soon.
Suffice to say, the women's division is not as good as it was three years ago.

Hunter was doing it in NXT while Rousey was tapping chicks out just prior. Since there was already logical wrestling booking that made sense in that promotion, women getting the shine was the obvious next step.
The main roster started to get their shiznit together after the viral give divas a chance campaign which spurred off the back of a typical by the numbers cookie cutter divas bout at the time. The Total Divas era had done alot to bring female fans onto to the product, but it was also at that time when various women from the old era started to become obsolete & the ones that didn't either were already good or started to put their working boots on like Nikki Bella.

A lot of the “Divas” roster weren’t that kind of wrestler (but were important for the WWE brand in building the reality shows), but Triple H was producing a new generation of women in NXT who were up to the challenge of raising the bar. Before Triple H was WWE's Head of Talent, John Laurinaitis filled that role. Unlike his successor, Laurinaitis didn't care much for ring or character work. Instead, he preferred fitness and swimsuit models as the focus at the time was on looks and not on wrestling ability (there were exceptions such as A.J. Lee, Beth Phoenix, Natalya, Gail Kim, Paige and Katie Lea Burchill). As a result, most of the women did not have any gimmicks whatsoever (there was Jillian Hall's bad singer gimmick, though). In addition, women during that era were restricted from throwing punches and kicking each other. Things started to change when Triple H took over for Laurinaitis back in 2012. Under Triple H's watch, numerous Divas started to leave the company while looking for indie promotions such as Shimmer and WSU for new female talents. In addition, he also hired Sara Amato as a trainer. It was Amato who taught the women to wrestle like the men and not to pull hair or slap each other. These days, each woman is unique and not cookie-cutter like the Divas from the past. |
