If a female wrestler had the same or similar level of trash talking charisma to ...

[Aztecwarrior480]

the all-time great male wrestlers like Stone Cold or The Rock, would you think that can help womens wrestling's popularity boost, earn a little more respect and be taken more seriously?

 

[Solidus1]

Depends if they had the in-ring ability and could carry themselves like the male greats did.

 

[Messiah1]

Of course it would, that's one of the problems with WWE divas or female wrestlers in general, not many of them can cut a very believable, intense promo..Can't remember the last time a WWE diva cut an amazing promo where she wow'ed the fans, it just doesn't happen.

 

[Green Jesus]

Yeah, sure. And I think they will give some good promos if wwe is serious about stimulating them.

 

[The GOAT]

If a woman (excuse me... a Diva) actually had charisma and/or verbal skills on the level of an Austin or Rock, then one of two things would happen:

1. She'd look so superior to the rest of the Divas that she would literally feel too good for the division and if we're talking about a Chyna or Ronda Rousey type of individual here, then the best thing she could do is step into the ring and wrestle men (as much as some will fervently disagree with that opinion.) The problem there is, man-on-woman violence isn't exactly prohibited under any circumstances in this current PG/ultra-PC climate, so in that case, she's in the wrong era, unfortunately.

2. She actually gets the attention of everyone - the fans, backstage officials, etc. - and shows people that women are actually capable of being just as entertaining or as meaningful to the product as the men are. Vince and the writers start earnestly booking the division accordingly.

At the end of the day, you're just a silly misogynist, lad.

Take Rhonda rousey. Look at how huge she is and how much money she's made ufc. Of course divas can do the same in wwe. But they have to have a stand out: one that can talk, raise hell, and wrestle.

I wouldn't say never, but as of right now, that's how the divas are treated in general.

That's really not sexist at all. Kudos to a fellow proggressive

The women don't have to act like macho men. They should act like women. I think a CM Punk sort of talker would be great for the Divas division. Someone who says what she wants to say and can crack a good joke. Giving them character is key to gaining long term interest. People want to invest time in characters they love to see if they reach the top.

I don't think she acts like a man. I think she acts like somebody who has a lot of power.
