To answer the NJPW question I found this 

Traditionally Japanese pro wrestling segregates men and women to different promotions. So while New Japan doesn't have a Women's Division, there are plenty of women only companies out there like Stardom, Sendai Girls, and Oz Academy.

Before you start feeling bad for the women, it's worth noting that in the past Women only companies have been insanely popular. To the point that a few of them ran Tokyo Dome shows. And a lot of the companies today draw pretty respectable crowds.

[edit] One more thing, there are a few newer Japanese promotions, like DDT, that do have men and women in the same promotions, but those are the exception to the rule.

I got nothing for ya. Becky Lynch is the #1 merch seller for WWE and the trend ain't slowing.

You can get with the program or continue to give pithy one-liners on a fantasy football forum. If you're gonna bring that weak, close-minded type of opinion, at least have the decency to also bring 60-75% reliable news from your cousin Sal who sometimes works catering.

(Edit: joshi is still alive and well btw)

I think it's best you guys put him on ignore like I already did. Obviously troll here. This guy is probably related to the guy who attacked Bret Hart because that guy didn't want women wrestling in the main event at mania either.

Are you kidding me?  Is it really,....YOU WILL LIKE FEMALE WRESTLING OR ELSE.............really?

Been into this stuff since the late 50's, love it.  I just prefer the time we spend with the women be taken up by bigger stronger more athletic wrestlers. 

I can't believe this.  Where is freedom of speech at?

A lot of people don't care for female wrestling I'm not alone.

No relative of mine is attacking the great Bret Hart, come on guy.

VICE TV has a weekly show.....Dark Side of the Ring.  Just showed the Savage/Miss Elizabeth story and learned that Jake Roberts does a great Savage impersonation, the next episode, that Canadian Screw Job.

So more Sasha news. I've also heard this from at least 4 different people as well

"As of the morning of mania, boss n hug were retaining but when they got back from the access events script had changed in favor of the aussies. This got her mad and when she came to the gorilla she quit..

So all was fine when Sasha was scripted to win the titles but when someone else is scripted to win she gets mad and cries about it.  Interesting.  You work for a production company who puts on scripted plays for other people's entertainment.  If you don't like the looks of your script and want to prove you should be champion, why not head on over to MMA and give that a try.

I think people don't care if you don't like female wrestling. They just don't want to listen to you bashing it just because they're not men. Keep it to yourself.

From what I'd seen, it was more about the length of the reign and it's sudden end than anything else. It was supposedly made the day of WM.

That said, act like a professional and perhaps you get another run with it.

 
Word is that some of the wrestlers WWE talent is having trouble getting into Montreal for RAW tonight, forcing WWE Creative to make re-writes for the show.

 
War Raiders, Raymond Rowe and Seth Hanson, get called up to Raw! Yay!

They are now Erik and Ivar, "The Viking Experience." Um.

So cringe worthy.  War Raiders, cool name.  Viking Experience?  I have no words.  Vince is Vincing it up early and often

 
Rousey taking a break to get pregnant. Exactly what the rumor was from a few months ago. I wonder wtf the source was on that one.

From what I've heard from people was Vince promised them a lengthy title reign. Not only was it not long they lost to the one of the two tag teams they shouldn't have lost too.

I just got this on the wire from some friends

"hearing wwe officials are fuming fans have been inundating social media complaining about the new name the war machine/Viking experience now has. They might consider just calling them by their names next week as the audience is fuming!!!"

Also Vega is in Concussion protocoll

"hearing Selina Vega just went thru the concussion protocol due to the hit against the led screen while making her move on Finn..."

Also WWE had some really difficult travel plans. I don't know if it's do to the weather or what

"hearing 50% of the production crew and 30% of the wrestlers could not make it to tonight’s Raw. There might be teams switched to other brands and not be there... they are going along as planned..."

I think AJ is the mystery partner in the main event. Theres been rumors for awhile even when he was WWE Champ Vince wanted AJ on RAW

also WWE is taking all WWE couples and keeping them together. 

"I’m noting that all WWE couples/real life married wrestlers are being kept together in the brands. If this holds, Charlotte Flair is going to Raw..."

Well, I'll say keeping the couple's together is pretty cool for real life performer happiness.  I wonder what the threshold is... I can see that causing unexpected issues where wrestlers may have been hooking up, and one wrestler would be expecting to be kept on the same brand, while the other one would be sorry not sorry to see them be moved  :lmao:

he Montreal shows always dictate the fate of angles. They use these shows as barometers for future scrips as well as London shows. Please listen to the crowd, the silence is powerful tonight... WWE’s problem is so bad, this is one of the top five crowds and one of the top five shows of the year and they are snoozing!!! This is shameful, we’re not in Iowa or y Nebraska, hell this is embarrassing....

 
They got to be trolling with this superstar shake up. What happened to pitting SD superstar vs a RAW superstar whichever superstar won their brand got to make a pick?

So her reaction is to jump ship?  Where else can she go wrestle, WOW with Tesla Blanchard?  Japan?  Seems like a risky move.  Doesn't she have a commercial spot or two, like antacid or IBS or something?  

One thing we know about the business of VKM is that you shouldn't piss him off.  Too many other talented women around there to take your spot if you rock the boat.  Bailey seems to realize it and kept a level head.  

 
I kinda like this Lacy Evans.  Tall, lanky, lovely.   :yes:

They could really have some good matches with AJ on RAW.  A feud with him and Seth and one with Finn would be some great matches to watch.  Please keep him away from that bum, Lashley and other big guys that he has to carry in the ring.

Let Ricochet go single and start a few matches with Andrade.  

Are they going to cut to the chase and just let Lars step up to Braun or will there be a long buildup?

And EC3... shouldn't he be back in NXT?  Is he just going to job to everyone like Elias?

Sounds like something available on Norwegian Cruise Lines or something on PornHub.

I think there's a lot more to it then her being upset about the title reigns. Most scrips are still being written as RAWS/PPVs etc start, there's no future planning for the long term like WWE use to do, etc. There's just a lot of backstage nonsense that many of the talent is sick of. This year WWE made wrestlers and personal pay for their own families hotels/travel/etc for Mania where for yrs WWE paid for it for them since it's such a big event. This just put her over the edge IMHO with all the other stuff.

She's good enough to go else where. She was trained in Boston by Warbeard Hanson of War Machine. ROH would take her in a heartbeat and so would AEW and gives their women division more credit with a former WWE Women there. 

People think that but honestly Vince wants you to defend your character and put input in it. if he likes you enough he will work with you and say "well you are right about that but what if we changed it to this then?" or "I don't like that particular idea but I do like where you are going with it lets work on it and see where we can go." Vince likes you asking questions. The problem though and Vince knows it that most of the talent have that stigma you don't rock the boat and just do what you should. WWE has a very bad culture of Veterans who if they don't like you will make up #### just to get you in trouble. Vince relies on these Veterans a ton and if they don't like your neither would Vince. I hoping more stars of the WWE pull a Punk to just show the environment WWE created and maybe it's a wake up call to change things up

Harper was told he was going to be sent down to NXT to be repackaged and then brought back up. Harper said no and asked for his release instead from what I was told. Such another WWE talent wasted because Vince is afraid it will Ruin his agenda of wrestlers he wants pushed.

We still have SD tonight Seth and Fiin plus Roman could move. This is the only shake up before Fox who want an All Star line up. Seth won't be moved but I think Roman will be. I also heard Lesnar could be

Lacy is alright VKM only likes her because of her Military background but she's still Green as Grass in the ring

I don't know what they are gonna do with LARS he was D.O.A when they reported on his anxiety issues.

Vince hates EC3 because he made it on his own else where. AJ VKM likes because he knows AJ can make him money

Samoa Joe was suppose to come out and attack Braun last night but was very sick. So Joe is bringing US title to RAW it looks like

Ember Moon

Bayley

Kairi Sane

Lars Sullivan

Buddy Murphy

Elias

Roman Reigns

Speaking of Punk, he was the hottest character going at one time and seemed to be on his way straight to the HOF.  TV every week and so on and so forth.  I haven't heard a peep from him since he left.  I know he tried to get into UFC but heard that didn't go so well.  I hope he found success and is doing well but, man, he had it going on in the WWE.  Not sure what he's doing now.  Certain venues still chant his name.  It's crazy.
