Interesting argument you guys had today...

I tend to agree with DeepSea, however, I don't have a huge problem with the underdog smaller guys winning from time to time. BUT, those guys better be either really good on the mic and charismatic, or need to have that Benoit-type demeanor like Case said...

-WWE Issues Statement On Allegations Of Sexism In Presentation



A topic that’s gotten some attention this past week on wrestling websites and social media has been the continuing discussion of WWE’s treatment of women both behind the scenes and in terms of their storytelling. While this has been brewing for a while because of the whole NXT Women’s Division vs. WWE Divas’ Division dynamic, it came to a head this past week because of two moments on WWE programming:

Ric Flair forcibly kissing Becky Lynch as a distraction spot and the announcers laughing it off as a comedy spot.
The Rock’s entire interaction with Lana, who was returning to TV after a noticeable absence, being about the idea that she cheated on Rusev with him when he last appeared on Monday Night Raw.
Today, the topic was explored in an article at Vocative by Alex Groot titled “WWE’s Looming Sexism Problem.“ When asked for comment on the piece, WWE issued the following statement:

WWE programming, which features fictional characters that cover a range of personalities similar to movies and television shows, tells stories of good versus evil. In addition, as our on-going storylines develop, we will continue to position women as both strong competitors and compelling individuals.

Of course, as mentioned by Groot, even if you can argue that at least Flair was an evil villain doing evil things, The Rock was the babyface and Lana was the heel.


This the reason why we can have nice things. People nowadays get too damn sensitive... Cue the PC Principle...

[Peep Game]

That America Alpha/Saturday Night Superstars match was AA look like stars and work perfect together. When Jordan got the hot tag and dropped his straps, dude dead on looked like psycho ECW Kurt Angle

Damn nice. Yes there's some serious sticker shock with these....I don't want that damn hat.

Can't wait to see how many people are going to try to sell that hat
Sticker price is OD though.
