Angry Grimace posted:I just don't want to see 130 pound women in matches with 220 pound dudes who could kill them with their bare hands. It doesn't feel right to me. Nobody gains anything from it whatsoever and the fact it might be a good match doesn't really move the needle for me. i get that its a tough concept to deal with, but wrestling is fake and you can put on a match where, due to the talent of the performers, you can come to believe that both competitors have a fair chance of winning, and that the victory was well-earned regardless of whether the man or woman won. you could put most of the women against anyone on 205, and a fair share of the regular roster, and it would be fine. everyone always jumps to Sasha Banks fighting Brock Lesnar, and not something cool and fun like Sasha Banks fighting Daniel Bryan. nobody gets uncomfortable when Rey fights The Big Show even though The Big Show could literally bite Rey's head off in real life. it's all fake, it's not real, it's like a video game, Chun Li can fight M. Bison and it will be ok

Your Parents posted:this appearance itself made it out like women are inferior to men by presenting nia's shot at winning the mens rumble as a much bigger deal than her winning the womens rumble. That's a reach and a half. Men are literally bigger. Nia can ragdoll any woman on the roster. Plenty of men on the roster are as big or bigger in height, weight, or both. If it wasn't an OTT battle royal I MIGHT agree but in a Rumble? Nah dog.

all of that poo poo stinks. there won't ever be a catanzaro/lesnar match or anything too damaging to the senses so don't worry about it. Or if there is then pretend like it didn't happen and call yourself a hero for putting up with bull freaking poo poo to make young children happy

if you think a woman shouldn't want to be the top person in the company and should be ok with just being the top woman, i get it, but don't say it makes you uncomfortable, because you're really uncomfortable because you're afraid that it will happen to you one day

Honestly, keep the women separated from the men because all of the men's matches lately have been dead dog rear end doodoo. The ladies matches have been actually good.

My take on this probably a little too glib. But. I just want the best wrestlers to fight each other. So I'd be totally down for Sasha Banks wrestling some huge dude if they could have a great match with each other. I get that it's not that simple for some people, though.

divisions work best when they are guidelines rather than cages. for example mustafa ali, the police officer who hates minorities, is working out well as a wrestler against non-cruiserweights. Oh sorry I didn't read the above post. don't read this post

You can also tell the same story as a woman overcoming a man's inherent advantage in size and strength, which is inarguable, so long as you don't suggest that advantage is determinant of one's worth. That's why I'm fine with the Nia spot. She held her own in the men's Rumble because of her size and strength, but she only did so after losing in the women's match. Canonically, Becky and Charlotte are at least superior to Mustafa Ali. The real problem here is that Nia isn't all that strong.

I think an easy way to ease people into WWE doing intergender stuff would be to have someone like Becky or Charlotte beat Dolph Ziggler with a pipe, bury him in a big barrel of ants, waterboard him, stuff like that. Then maybe have Zelina wrestle Rey i guess.

Intergender matches between competitors of comparable size/strength are fine. Save them for the occasional spectacle. Don't send hosed up messages to the kid fans. Is this such a difficult concept?

WWE announced there will be qualifying matches for the womens tag titles tonight. What teams do you guys see making it in? I have: Sasha/Bayley Nia/Tamina (ew) Riott Squad Peyton/Billie Mandy/Sonya ??? There has been an increase in demand for Kairi and Io to be put in the match and while I don't think it will happen, it should. Otherwise the match quality is going to be absolutely abysmal, and that is being generous.

Intergender matches are fine as a concept just like cruiserweights wrestling heavyweights are fine as a concept. Wrestling isn't real and it doesn't need to try to be real, it just needs to be Believable Enough; you can believe Rey Mysterio beating The Big Show because Rey is good enough at wrestling to visually portray beating a dude twice his size in a way that feels good, just like Finn and Lesnar last night. That's a harder sell with women, partially because most lady wrestlers are massively smaller than most male wrestlers, partially because the style most women have been taught to work isn't as hard-hitting, partially because the WWE still cares so implicitly about women being conventionally attractive instead of physically imposing and it informs the way they're presented, partially because there are centuries of gender violence issues you have to overcome with viewers. It's why they usually cross that line with wrestlers who come the closest to disarming the size/strength gap so they can just leapfrog all of those issues. There is a reason Lita feuded with Dean Malenko. It's like anything else in wrestling, you can do it well or you can do it poorly and it all depends on how well you're playing to the strengths of your respective performers and how equally you're presenting them. It's just a different series of hurdles to leap and the structure of the WWE and the way it sees its female talent is generally super unfriendly to that.

The Nia poo poo in the men's rumble last night felt like a step backward into attitude era nonsense Unbelievably and against all odds they've actually done a good bit to elevate their women's division to where it's more interesting and entertaining than ever with a crazy amount of talent - they really don't need to re-do the Chyna gimmick. The women's division is the best thing going in WWE right now and they don't need to step backwards.

DarkstarIV posted:WWE announced there will be qualifying matches for the womens tag titles tonight. What teams do you guys see making it in? Dana/somebody Lana/somebody Carmella/Truth It's hard for me to think of new tag teams the day after the Rumble, when every single woman on the show except Sasha, Asuka, and Ronda was shown to be totally happy to whip the others over the top rope given the slightest chance. You could probably bring up Kairi and Io and like...Candice and Dakota? Those two have been around NXT long enough for it to be obvious that there's no real plans for them there. Io has more she could do in NXT but she also doesn't need to, she's one of the best in the world.
