I love that Stephanie thinks she is the one and only advocate for women in wrestling sports entertainment in her fantasy world. Britt/Rosa never happened

The thing is, in her world/bubble, she's right.

I bet in the WWE backstage higher up bubble that Stephanie inhabits, not a single one of the other useless middle management suits give half a gently caress about the women as wrestlers, or even talent.

So after one of the interminable backstage meetings where faceless pervert lickspittle suit #3, (or more likely Kevin Dunn or Johnny Ace), says "OK, we should have a 'get back to the kitchen' match, where the chicks lez out afterwards. But we only have 3 minutes for the match, so we can fit in more of Seth Rollins opening promo time.", and Stephanie is the only one who goes "Hey! Don't do that, it's sexist." so the segment gets cut. She probably sees herself as a beacon of feminism fighting the good fight for all the women in the industry.

Then there is the fact that Stephanie probably doesn't even like/watch wrestling. So why would she have seen Britt/Rosa? The insularity of the wrestling bubble is one thing, but the insularity of the WWE corporate bubble is another.

that might play better if people didn't publicly view her taking over the social media demand for womens wrestling to be treated seriously as if it were her idea even though she'd been around in the same head roles for the previous 10+ years, then put herself at the center of all of it on-screen from day one when she had nothing to do with the clamoring

I can't remember her job title at the time, because all of WWE's job titles seem entirely arbitrary, but IIRC she was directly in charge of creative during both the endless Playboy lingerie match era and the following 'every woman is a psychotic faux-lesbian bitch' phase, then moved to brand officer right before AJ, Paige and Emma came in. She had the power to do something about the state of the women's division in WWE long before any changes were made.

ed: Checked it, she was 'director of creative television' from 2002-2006, then she became 'executive vice-president of creative development and operations' and a producer until 2013. So the very end of her control over creative just barely overlapped with the very start of the 'revolution'. So at best she did nothing about it for 10 years, when she had all the power to, then maybe pushed for change in her last year as the de facto second-in-command of booking.

in a bubble you could say that twitter finally gave stephanie the leverage she needed to do what she always wanted to see. i'm sure if that happened to someone they would want to be a part of it on-screen as well so that would partially explain why everything to do with any woman is also attributed to stephanie. in the bubba it had been such a long road. bub bub

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Hurt Business was so drat good and they had so many chances to make them even better. Remember when even though they were heels, they were fighting against Retribution as the invading anarchists? That sure went nowhere. Remember when they did a takeover of Shane's Underground? That went nowhere too.

And then they break them up because Bobby randomly turns on them and Corbin is involved.

Hurt Business have always been faces with an edgy streak and nobody will tell me differently. I can't wait to see American Hero Bobby Lashley defeat that evil foreigner from Scotland for his dastardly abuse of those innocent ethnic minority jobbers!

The anonymous caller needs to call back into the show to give us the update on whether the fans are supposed to cheer or boo for which wrestlers. I'm sure Asuka and Rhea will be heels somehow but Drew will be a babyface.

Imagine being a wrestler and finding out the WWE hired 60 data scientists to figure out how much you were making on the side so WWE could calculate their cut and then realizing those 60 data scientists probably get health insurance.
