womens title > cruiserweight title

[Guest Youth N Asia]

Ok...they have the chick divison on Raw with 5 workers: Trish, Molly, Jazz, Jackie, and Victoria. Can't count Stacy cause she's doing the manager deal, or the Smackdown girls.

 

For the last few weeks they've managed to get the belt and just about all of the featured players on tv. They're given a lot of time considering that Trish is the ONLY one that's at all over.

 

Now who's cruiser material on Smackdown? Matt, Shannon, Tajiri, Funaki, Noble, Nunzio, Kidman, Chavo, Mysterio, Brain Kendrick, and Crash...that's 11 damn names and they still don't work any cruiser angles.

 

What's wrong with this picture? If any of the other girls could get over to save their lives I wouldn't mind this so much.

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

And Shannon Moore is 10x's prettier than any Diva...

[Guest Steviekick]

The Women's Title seems to be shown much better than the Cruiserweight Title. The cruiserweight title seems to just go back and forth between Kidman and someone different.

 

Hopefully Matt Hardy can make the cruiserweight as a division interesting again. When the cruisers get TV matches, they're usually good. It's just as a whole that the division is buried and doesn't come across as being important to the fans.

[Guest j.o.b. squad]

also they think that mabee one of the cruisers can win the real title. so once they get at all over with the fans they get moved up for about a month and job to all of the heavyweights.(rey)

 

meanwhile they know no woman is ever going to hold the real title so they may as well try to have angles

[Guest Lord of The Curry]

Yeah, Shannon Moore is a pretty little girl........

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

There should have been a shirt that said "I fucked the girl in 3 count"...

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

Question:

 

If the Womens title means nothing, and the Cruiserweight title means nothing - aren't they equal?

[Guest Downhome]

Regardless of what the titles mean, I still say that the Womens matches on RAW have been the best match of the night for me on RAW for the past few weeks.

[Guest razazteca]

The women are not considered a threat to the main eventers while some CW guys could overshadow some of the boring Hoss~

 

sex = ratings

 

I doubt that there are some fans that want to see Shannon Moore's arse.

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

Man, Shannon Moore is a piece of JailBait...

 

and I mean that in the drop-your-soap/pretty-mouth kinda way.

 

They could SO do a mango gimmick with him... Have all the wrestlers infatuated in him, thinking he is the new diva...

 

Oh yeah, that = ratings.

no the womens means a little due to all the people that can fight for it are fighting for it. while the cruisers dream of being the heavyweight champ

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

That doesn't give it meaning...

 

That tries to give it meaning and is a reflection upon the division rather than the title... The title itself is meaningless. If the womens title changes, does anyone give a damn?

Triple R, encouraging Dean's Al Wilson love is one thing.

 

Encouraging some one to bring back a Russo gimmick that was a ripoff of a really shitty SNL character is another. I deem that idea to officially be THE SUCK, and if we see it on TV I will deem you personally responsible.

 

*Ahem* that is all.

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

Listen, Shannon Moore is different than Kwee Wee.

 

First of all, Moore plays the perfect confused fish-out-of-water. Second, Moore looks like a girl. The 'mango' gimmick wouldn't be so much the character at it is the concept - Russo had it the other way around. He gave the character and forgot about guys being infatuated with Kwee Wee.

[Guest humongous2002]

The fact that the Women's title get more props than the cruiserweights it's just b/c T & A=$, hey a lot of perverts out there would pay just to see Trish bounce up and down.

[Guest geniusMoment]

I don't know why they have serious womens wrestling at all. It should all be T&A. It is what the public wants. Guess what the fans chant during every match, we want puppies. Why is WWE hell bent on forcing womens wrestling down the throats of fans who don't give a shit.

Don't tell me they are conditioned to chant that either, unless guys are conditioned to go to strip clubs. T&A is the one thing you can hotshot, because guys will never get tired of it and yet they don't do it effectively. No one gives a shit about seeing girls in granny panties, like dawn and torrie in their last match, and no one cares about seeing girls in stupid santa outfits. What I would do is just have the girls wrestle in thongs in crisco, or some clear liquid every monday in a tournament. I am sure many girls would quit but who gives a shit your job is to get ratings not appease girls or be politically correct.

[Guest AndrewTS]

Triple R: It's still a stupid idea. SNL isn't any good any more as it is. Why swipe an idea from them?

 

(Alleged)genius(for a undetermined)Moment(in the distant past): SD has the T&A women, Raw has the wrestlers. So shut the hell up and watch the SD women and ignore the Raw ones if so you so choose. However, the point of the Santa outfits escape me. If they were red bikinis with Santa hats I could understand.

 

Besides, the women wrestlers on Raw are better than most of the men.

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

I think the fans chant it for the sake of chanting it. The Puppy chant isn't as prevelant as it once was.

 

The funny thing is, the WWE lets the women get away with 'wrestling more' than the cruiserweights... If they cut the strings on the cruisers and let them go all out they would be 100X as over as the women.

[Guest AndrewTS]

I fail to see the cruisers on SD half-assing it. Least of all Rey, Tajiri, and Noble. Kidman does his thing as well as I've ever seen.

 

Hurricane on Raw though is clearly not wrestling as well as he could be.

[Guest Brian]

Not half-assing it, but not being allowed to pull their own weight and being dragged along as mini-heavy division.

[Guest AndrewTS]

Well, call it what you want, but what you describe sounds like what Hurricane is doing on Raw. I don't see anything of the sort with SD cruisers.

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

I never said half-assing it, I said they can't live up to their potential.

[Guest Brian]

Mysterio is far better than he works, Tajiri is wrestling the WWE-style to the max, and Noble doesn't even get a chance.

[Guest Youth N Asia]

I'd buy this "tits=ratings" idea of any of the other Raw girls but Trish were over. Stacy doesn't count cause she's not even in the divison, doing her own thing. Without Trish they'd get no reaction at all.

Stacy has no tits. It's her ass/legs that are over.

 

Remember that Trish gets a Brock-ish god-dess push in comparison to all the other ladies, so it isn't such a surprise she's so over.

 

Plus they usually only push ONE women's angle at any given time.

[Guest Youth N Asia]

They might as well put Torrie on RAW, even though she can't wrestle, her record against Dawn is up to 2,600-0

[Guest D'Lo White]

Torrie doesn't manage anyone, so her job must be as wrestler. Why the hell is she on the show that doesn't have the women's title?

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

That's what I've been wondering.

 

So if women wrestle on Smackdown, why aren't cruisers wrestling on RAW?

 

Take away Benoit and Angle... Smackdown is just a hoss show.

That was the whole point from the Heyman thread. Take out the matches, and everything else is basically the same.

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

It bothers me to no end how spineless Vince McMahon is.

 

Raw -> the entertainment show. Vince can apply all of his theories on this show. Big Men and TnA = ratings.

 

Smackdown -> the wrestling show. Vince can put all the stuff he thinks the fans don't want, cruiserweights and wrestlers, and see if the opposite end of the spectrum works.

 

What does he do?

 

Smackdown is a hoss and tna show with a lil wrestling.

 

Raw is the 'entertainment show' with bad wrestling and tna.

 

Has anything changed? Nope.

Will anything change? Nope.

 

The fact that they have basically put on the same show for 6 years really bothers me right now. Have they changed a single thing in their production? Have they come up with anything new?
