Probably because Serena Williams is a draw and highly marketable.

Thats a fair play, womens tennis is a draw

Probably the mono-e-mono nature of the sport. I don't watch much tennis, but I find women's tennis as entertaining as mens.

Marketing or quality of play?

Nia has proven herself this past year. Don't think its a stretch to include her on the list. Shes gotten better and better, and what inexperience she still has, she can make up for with the spectacle of her tossing around the other girls like ragdolls.

I'll have to retain reserved judgment on that.

I never get behind people having "im fat" as an excuse to play the power house.

Doesnt work for me

I used to find that she hadn't grown into her own shtick. She'd do this weird eye thing, and I never knew what it was supposed to be. Why is she not like most girls?

I dunno, lately she's been showing off some really neat power spots too, so she's not just "rawr I like big macs" without any substance.

Eh, she was called up too early and I don't care enough to challenge my initial perception of her. Good for her, but I find it hard-pressed to care even if true.

Pretty much this

I just don't like how she is a full-blown heel in the first hour of shows, and a complete PR-face for another hour, or vice-versa... she takes you out of the show when she does things like that.

People were talking about merch sales on page 2.

I believe AJ Lee was in the top 10 for merch sales before she left the company. Am I wrong?

:yes:

Is this about not making what she was worth? Wouldn't it depend on her current contract? Because AJ got popular out of the blue and before that would have had about 0 value, and wouldn't have been making much.

If she was still popular by the time she'd be renewing, she'd have probably made a pretty penny. Plus she probably made some good cash on her royalties.

yeah she was def gonna make good money had she not became the wife of the most bitter man in the world

*2nd most according to a recent TPWW poll

Haha.

Found this interesting since Steph publicly credits Triple H for being responsible for the Women's Revolution. Gave them the same foundation and training as male wrestlers were getting in NXT and the end result was the growth of the Women's division in recent years.

Came from a recent interview she had with the Times of India: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/...w/62658301.cms

If thats true, then yeah, he does deserve some of the credit.

You can see the difference between the talent hired when John Laurinaitis is head of talent and when Triple H takes it over. It's down to a bunch of compounded factors though. WWE has always had good enough female talent. Nattie, Beth, Molly, Victoria, etc. Look at how Michelle McCool was treated in the Royal Rumble. She came from the Diva Search era, was first Divas Champion, etc.

It's a PR stunt. But they got the chance to have "men's matches" in NXT with Paige and Emma. But Ronda Rousey was proving women can draw before that, and before that, Dutch booked the women to be legitimate in TNA too. So it's like, what even is the Women's Revolution? It's just a change of presentation.

I am very angry about all of this

They're not on equal footing with their male counterparts at all.
