Separate But Equal?: The ultimate goal of Feminism in wrestling
Grimmas replied to Luchaundead's topic in Pro Wrestling
There is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much talent out there. It would be damn easy to raid the indies and Japan and be half and half within a year or so, after building them up through the system. 2 matches seem to be the goal though, so it won't happen. -

Grimmas replied to Grimmas's topic in 1995 Project
We'll give USWA a day, and Stampede can pick thier roster tomorrow. -
Separate But Equal?: The ultimate goal of Feminism in wrestling
Grimmas replied to Luchaundead's topic in Pro Wrestling
Of course we all want it entertaining. I just don't think the difference between something like Kane-Wyatt and Billie Kay-Emma is big. I think a company should strive to represent reality. Having more females can only help the company not look like just for men to watch. Also, saying women aren't as good as wrestlers is silly when we saw Joshi in the 80s/90s, we saw NXT last year. -

You can take both Edge/Christian now if you want them both as a team. -
Separate But Equal?: The ultimate goal of Feminism in wrestling
Grimmas replied to Luchaundead's topic in Pro Wrestling
Are you saying there isn't enough talent out there to split the show in half or that it shouldn't be a goal and women should just be treated like tag teams? -
The Lapsed Fan Patreon Request Series - 2016 edition
Grimmas replied to BrianB's topic in Publications and Podcasts
I finally listened to this podcast, because I was interested. I was hoping it would be a new thing to fall in love with. I turned it off, I got about 2 hours or 90 minutes into Slamboree 98 and they had talked about two different stories back and forth with no rhyme or reason and briefly mentioned the first match, before going back to one of those two stories. They brought up the arena and attendance twice, like they were starting to go through the show, only to ramble on again. The impressions weren't funny or well timed. I had enough. I was hoping this would be good, but damn this meandering around various topics with no focus is not for me. Calling this a deep dive seems like bullshit. Being long is not a deep dive. Where the Big Boys Play is a deep dive, this is just casually talking about bullshit and joking. The worst part, that put the end of it for me, was when they talked about the best of 7 series history and completely left out Koloff-TA. What kind of bullshit deep dive is this? Unsubscribed with disappointment. -

Let's skip USWA for now, they can pick later. -
With all of these, what is your freaking criteria? It's all over the place.

Separate But Equal?: The ultimate goal of Feminism in wrestling
Grimmas replied to Luchaundead's topic in Pro Wrestling
The problem is that is not there goal. Are you saying with all the women the WWE has one of their shows couldn't be half women? 4 matches on the show, there isn't 8-12 women talented enough to carry that? Charlotte, Becky, Bayley, Sasha, Alexa, Nikki, Asuka, Billie Kay, Ember Moon, and Nia Jax. done. Plus they have way more talent. If you are joe indie Veda Scott is as good a talent as any undercard male. Plus you do this, you get more future talent. The talent is out there though and it could be done. Instead the women are treated like a special attraction. -

I saw you tweet this - asking why companies don't book them 50/50 essentially and it's an interesting thought. Do you mean the WWE, or everyone left outside of WWE at the moment? ROH taped their second Women of Honor TV special tonight (my bet - not earth shattering - is that this airs one of the weeks after Final Battle, or maybe that weekend). This will be the second all WoH TV shown on national syndication this year. I feel like this is worth noting because this is ground breaking in a way. The WWE has never done something like this. You go back to G.L.O.W., right? CZW does all women's shows sometimes too. FMW did some. Smash does it once a year. It's fine, but those are specials. However, why not do it all the time. 50/50? You have 8 matches, 4 men and 4 women. The talent is there. Just because there are currently enough women to put together a few matches on every show does not automatically make it a good idea for either business or the product. I'm not saying because there are the wrestlers, I'm saying because there is the talent. Last year the best thing about NXT was the women. They could had easily been a half and half promotion. -

I really think you could easily do a half women, half men promotion with a women's title, women's tag titles, men's title, and men's tag titles. The talent is out there, I don't know why you would have to treat the women like a cruiserweight or tag division special attraction in 2016. -

Tag Teams Back Again Episode 21: SummerFest '88!

Always amazed nobody mentions that when Bret goes into the post at SummerSlam he goes through Fuji'so cane. Glad you liked it as much as me. -
Rookie Draft for November plus Steals and Stampede's Roster
Grimmas replied to Grimmas's topic in 1995 Project
Go with 12 hours. Then the person missed can jump it when they check this. Although, is he aware of this draft at all? -
What about someone like Keith Lee or Moose or Brian Cage, Coffey?

Who would you take?

Wrestling365 will record it's pilot during this period. Wrestling365 will be a daily 15-30 minute show that will be a journal masked as a this day in wrestling review. Each episode Steven (and somtimes a guest) will watch a match from the history of wrestling that took place that date (example for a January 4th, 2017 episode of the show a match will be picked from say January 4th, 1995 to be reviewed). However, since it's daily, it also have elements of Steven's life being talked about. Thanks to Charles for the great idea. If the pilot goes well, this podcast may take place for the entire year of 2017.

Really nice effort to get caught up. So WCW of throwing Warrior-Flair on TV

You are doing a great job.

Be the wrestling version of CFL to NFL (WWE). Half Canadian roster, equal men and women, have a Women's & Men's main title and tag titles. Work tours and be run more like AJPW in the 90's (ie hierarchy, everyone has a tag partner but works' singles, etc...) A less dangerous style though, less head drops. That kind of stuff. Can WWE sign them? I think they have some valid contracts. If they are available you got to take Pentagon Jr. and maybe Mantanza and Puma as well.
