An all-men’s show would be criticized, which is why we give the women seven minutes every week to do their little thing.

It's insane to me the amount of talented women have on their roster and they still can't create a remotely interesting women's division on their main shows.

sucks because the evolution ppv was real good

RealFoxy posted:

Becky was never supposed to be over in the first place, it was because of Nia Jax accidentally breaking her nose that made her look like a massive bad-rear end on the road to Wrestlemania and fans just hijacked the show in support of her.

iirc what happened was they did not expect the jesus pop when she turned against flair, she was over that second, and the nose-break on the invasion a month before survivor series was the stone cold moment, which led to the rumble, etc

Is anyone even nostalgic for IYH? It was the lovely B level shows between the real PPVs. It's no Clash of the Champions or something.

Regarding some NXT talent not working on the main #WWE roster, Triple H says it’s like sports. Some talent work out to their potential, others don’t. There are varying circumstances.

Kind of! They were shorter and cheaper and that was cool. And while they were often 1 match shows, they were often cool matches, like Bret vs PCO, Bret vs Bulldog, HBK vs Owen. The last WWF tape I owned was In Your House 2 with the Diesel Sid lumberjack match. So that whole aesthetic definitely strokes a few nostalgia zones of my brain.

But not enough to watch a current WWE show

Hey WWE isn't going backwards with the women. I mean sure 5 of them got fired so they could hire Eva Marie whose gimmick is "I'm hot" and the main women's story of Raw with Alexa is "bitches be crazy" but still..... diva's revolution.

its far from the dumbest thing he said during that call but I'm definitely fixating on him saying he doesn't want to compare people to old stars like three lines after he did just that.

Don't forget Alexa is also a grown woman dressing and acting like a preteen girl for some reason.
