<font color=goldenrod>Pretty sure AJ couldn't care less about staying employed really. She's been used sparingly since the Punk podcast and now with Punk getting sued by the WWE doctor she probably wasn't going to come back anytime soon.

Punk will still be loaded no matter what happens in the lawsuit, so I don't think AJ will be strapped for cash.</font>

Nothing will come from it but I applaud AJ for having the balls to say this. Too bad the average WWE fan is an idiot and so management's way of doing things is totally justified...

I mentioned this in the Bork Laser thread, but I'll say it again in here. It's really messed up that this stuff is more interesting than the actual televised stories this company is putting out.

If they are really controlling all of the dirtsheets, then it is one of the most brilliant, Machiavellian moves in all of television's history. But, I really don't think that's the case.

rob11 02-24-2015 10:56 PM

If it is the case, they will be able to print money off of the feud. Imagine #GiveTheDivasAChance t-shirts selling like crazy. Sure, it may not be a work, but if WWE is behind all of this,

Exactly what women are selling record amounts of merchandise and bringing in the highest rated segments of wrestling shows?

I read it as at the moment they're selling record amounts, as opposed to divas of the past. And the show would be NXT, and maybe Superstars or Main Event?

#1-norm-fan 02-25-2015 12:00 AM

If that's what she meant, that's a good argument for why they should be paid as much as divas from the past. She follows it up with comparing how much they make to the male roster though.

Also, I'm guessing the show she's talking about is Total Divas. That's the only one that makes sense. So I guess she's got a point. Pay Paige the exact amount John Cena is making immediately.

AJ and the Bellas. Not sure on the Bellas but they are featured on the shop which only happens to top sellers while AJ for a good while was near the top in overall sales.

NXT women likely also are selling well with their own merchandise but not sure if AJ is counting them in that tweet.

#1-norm-fan 02-25-2015 12:40 AM

I'm sure AJ and the Bellas sell plenty of merchandise. "Record selling" though?

I'm all for more attention put into divas matches/storylines. But AJ trying to act like the divas sell merchandise and bring in ratings enough to warrant them being paid as much as the guys though is just silly.

Based on the history of them hearing the WWE Universe over the past couple of months, I anticipate this leading to Eva Marie squashing Paige and AJ in a handicap match in 18 seconds at Wrestlemania.

Paige chimes in on Instagram

Extra bonus credit if you can remember the name of the "a woman can work"and what she is doing now.



Which is proof WWE doesn't really know what to do with their Divas

The Riveter.

Fun Fact: Although Rosie the Riveter is depicted as a white woman most of the women who went to work for us in WW2 were minorities. (Black, Latino, Asians)

so you dont think the divas should be paid as well as the males? for doing exactly the same job? lol did your mom not hug you or something? its kinda rude to say they dont deserve equal pay. im not saying give them all more tv time because most of them are just good to look at and cant work in the ring. ID like to see more from AJ, Fox, paige, bring up flairs daughter and sasha banks and youve got half of a decent divas roster.

Maybe record setting for woman's wrestling shirts. AJ was the first diva in like a decade to have a shirt (Trish and Lita.) They gave Kaitlyn one after it so there was two in a decade. Anytime before in WWE Shop clicking Divas would just take you to a Generic WWE Divas Shirt.

Theo Dious 02-25-2015 07:39 AM

The Internet: where Divas are constantly dismissed as useless and of no entertainment value whatsoever yet they're supposed to get paid as well as wrestlers who actuactually generate revenue and viewership.

Make up your minds, jackasses.

Theo Dious 02-25-2015 07:44 AM

Also, how does AJ harping on an exceptionally socially popular and politically correct issue amount to having balls? Fuck her. She's probably trying to get fired so she and her terminally butthurt husband can continue to sob fromtheir golden nest that the WWE fans paid for.

Shisen Kopf 02-25-2015 07:46 AM

Wonder what AJ Lee's thinks of all this? Interested in her opinion.

Steph is the worst I have never liked her. Any storyline she is involved in sucks.

Example:
She books a feud between her and Brie Bella who is a wrestler.
Steph Dominates the match to get her self over.
Brie gets a little bit of offense in and then Nikki turns heel to save steph.
Brie and Nikki feud, and Nikki says she wishes Brie died in the Womb.
Brie becomes Nikki's personal assistant and Nikki mistreats her.
Brie turns heel and is best friends with her sister again.

Stickman 02-25-2015 11:48 AM

Aj is right. So many males wrestlers are just terrible and add nothing to the show. The women who are terrible and add nothing at least have female fans/girls watching.

Jazzy Foot 02-25-2015 12:06 PM

I miss Beth Phoenix's huge tits filling up the screen. HONK HONK.

Whoops having a hard-on in the library need to masturbate right now.

Jazzy Foot 02-25-2015 12:09 PM

Equal rights for Divas;

- Have them headline PPVs or have their own PPVs.

- Have them in a range of matches other than singles or tag-team e.g. cage, HIAC, ladder, street-fight, iron-woman, titty honking, strap matches, skin to win etc.

- allow them to wrestle naked or topless like the male wrestlers.

- allow mixed gender matches and have the strong divas beat weak men using submissions like bear hugs, vagina choke holds etc.

- oil wrestling, jello wrestling, gravy wrestling all naked of course.

- skimpier outfits for the women, allow all access groping and masturbation, make the divas feel wanted.

- masturbation and vibrator matches

Ruien 02-25-2015 12:12 PM

With the Network being around they could manage a Divas only ppv that no one will watch.
