Grimmas

Sasha or Charlotte can not be Rousey? I don't see how you can think women's wrestling has to be niche, when in NXT, it is shown it can be on equal footing. Also, comparing ROH/PWG to SHIMMER is so far off point. SHIMMER is completely a women's promotion and is nothing like the others.

Over the last year there has been some podcasts doing a draft and then fantasy booking cards that go with that. Also, through this subform, there has been some fantasy booking interest. This is a thread to see if there is interest for some kind of major draft continually going forward booking ongoing project. Whether we pick from anyone in history, or pick a specific time and go forward with it? Kind of like a wrestling draft and booking D&D game. Maybe post weekly cards here, or whatever. Make trades, random determine injuries and free agency or however it would work. Let's use this thread to gauge interest and if there is interest to hammer out the idea.

That is a great match, but if that is the best he has he is not top 100. I liked his performance a lot, but there is a high bar to pass to get on the list.

How does the WWE differ from UFC for audiences? Yes, women's wrestling is seen that way now. That is why you have to re-condition the fans. Why is that not possible?

Things work for two reasons in NXT: 1) Stuff is tailored to hardcore fans. 2) Things have been built up and the fans have been conditioned to like it over time. Women's wrestling is something that can be conditioned to be liked and the hardcore fans like it. There is no non-sexist reason that the WWE could not headline some shows with women in the future. If there is, please let me know.

I think people are over estimating just how much of the regular WWE audience would accept that. I mean, I guess they could eventually get there but it would seriously take at least a full year of reconditioning the audience to not see the Divas as the chance to go buy merchandise/food. And even then I'm not sure because the most "hardcore smark" crowd all year is the post-Mania Raw crowd and they are the ones who completely shit on the Divas and treated like they only exist to have sex with the male roster. I'm not saying tomorrow, I'm saying over time with re-conditioning. I discount your hardcore smark crowd, because that is what NXT is and it works there.

If I was forced to do a list today, these would be my 100. I need to watch a bunch of other guys, obviously. Also, this might not be 100 listed as I roughly counted.

Well yeah, but they have no real excuses, do they? If I was the WWE, I'd be building around Charlotte and Sasha going forward just as much as Roman.

So why can't women headline WWE ppvs again?

A win is a win!!

Working in front of crowds only helps, doesn't it? I still think they should train guys in the PC, then send them out to Japan, Europe, Indies etc.. for a year before bringing them back into NXT. It would probably be the best model they could have.

Fritz is celebrating in Berlin tonight!

If the NXT is the AHL, then the WWE needs it's own version of the NCAA/Major Juniors in Canada and Europe to feed it. AHL is a finishing ground not a starting point. The current guys they recruit and train from scratch don't fit in anymore.

This is why I don't see a difference between Tanahashi and Orton in ring. Put Orton in Tanahashi's spot and the match quality would be the same.

On the TV tapings Nigel went on and on about how someone will walk out with both titles. I suspect this is a WM6 deal. Lethal has claimed to be the top champion in ROH for a while now, so it only makes sense that they determine which title is better. I would assume Briscoe wins, and there is a TV Title tournament afterwards.
