Toni storm talks Charlotte angle, WWE wanted her to be stripped

[Kairi HoHo]

What saddens me is that WWE didn't have the brains to know Toni is hell of a talent and rather instead of making her having Pies thrown at her or possibly strip down they would rather hello show her talents in the Ring. Good to know that stupidity she's gone from and she's in AEW where she can truly show why she's one of the best.

So either Jeff arguing with himself or someone had a take people didn't like so it was taken out.....again.

Between pitches like that, the talk about "Dressing sexy" in NXT, and the fact that I feel as though half the new women's characters are potentially someone's fetish, the Diva's era is slowly trying to creep back.

 

[Deezy]

Women's R/Evolution was a failure.....going back to the well that did better for you.

Yeah, it's not like other companies haven't done that before.

Playboy eliminated nude pictorials and it took only a few months before they went back to what worked forever.

SI are going to stop showing fatties on swimsuit covers when this new one falls faster than bowling ball off an overpass.

It's because WWE was never interested in actually pushing Women's Wrestling and giving female Workers the same, what they'd give the "classic" male Wrestling. You can see it with how they put the Women's Revolution on over the years. WWE is the poster child for trying and showing "Equality", purely for PR reasons and nothing else.

Welcome to corporate business practices.

You think Elon Musk tried promoting his philanthropy because he's a nice guy? Or Zuckerberg? Bezos?




Philanthropy is a basic tool to promote your product.

Yea, I know... There's a lot you could talk about and I have my opinions on a lot of what's going on, but it's about WWE here and the signs were always there. It shouldn't be that surprising, that WWE was never going for an actual "Revolution".

I mean if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck…

What is it?

WWE only started giving a damn about women’s wrestling because Twitter forced their hand. 2016/2017 was the peak for that movement unfortunately.

When you put old dudes like Johnny Ace back in charge, you’re bound to go back to the old regime in terms of thinking.

That being said, I don’t think a return to bra&panty matches, etc is going to make much of a change.

 

[Deezy]

Let's be honest about that revolution shit.....pro wrestling is a star driven business....there's no such thing as equality.

Some jobber on Mainevent is not going to get the same treatment and time given for a Roman Reigns.

Let's just say someone like a Nikki ASH isn't getting the same time as Becky Lynch.

Equality does not matter in a haves and have not business, this goes across the board for ALL show business.

When Johnny Ace came back with power in that company, I knew we were heading back to square one with the woman and it is depressing. The more time goes, the more it stays the same with senile old men that hasn't grown up.

 

[Deezy]

Couldn't be the market speaking for itself?

Not like people are flocking to places like Onlyfans for progressive values.

Evil and biased.

Did Blaze say it’s been quiet again in the staff room and jinx you? It’s not even the end of the week and I’ve lost count at the amount of fighting there’s been on here.

Here's the thing, there is a balance between celebrating women, and showing confidence in one's appearance than going backwards with stripping as a way to generate heat or other issues we have mentioned in the thread like being told to wear fishnet stockings and booty shorts to Walmart and trying to fit your women into one ideal body shape rather than just focusing on them being in shape to wrestle. We have moved more past that because it hasn't really aged well, and it also goes against what WWE have been harkening for years about how the women were going to be on equal ground as the men.
