Why does WWE continue to put on womens matches?

Recommended Posts

MMA has much better names for their womens orgs. SMACKgirl.

Reba is no where near Gilmore Girls level of awesome. But it is the quintessential "it's either this or CNN" show, and it KILLS CNN (though it has its work cut out if it ever went up against AC360). C'mon, Barbra Jean and Van ALONE make that show watchable. Then you have the hot blonde daughter and the kickass opening theme and Corky Sherwoods husband on Murphy Brown.

 

"You are so wise. I am going to draw you as an OWL. With Fabio behind you."

The Real Catfight is on the Fight Network right now. There's some quality women's wrestling.

 

The best part are the fingers that block your view of the more X-rated stuff. Who do those fingers belong to?!

A serious answer for a serious question:

 

The reason the WWE continues to put on women's matches is because the segments get good ratings. The same reason the Al Wilson storyline went on for 4 months, and the Eddie/Rey feud over Dominic was a big part of Smackdown. In the WWE, quality constantly takes a backseat to what is considered to draw. I've seen no evidence that women's matches kill the crowd, and there's no evidence it causes viewers at home to tune out, either.

 

I agree with Jerk. The women seem to be a ratings draw, and make money for the WWE, not to mention publicity from things like Stacy doing Dancing with the Stars. And if the women were just interviewers or valets, their visibility would be limited. So, the WWE gives the people that make them money larger roles, which ultimately include angles & actual matches.

Then explain why Rey is getting squeezed out of the WM ME spot in favor of Randy Orton.

Fuck you, Cooper tells it like it is, no slant, no spin, no bias. Perspective, motherfucker, from 360 degrees. Ain't no anchor desk here, bitch.

I'll say that we shall have to agree to disagree about this one, since this is the WWE folder. You're watching the right channel, but there's much better stuff (not to say ol' Coop is bad, he'd easily be the cream of the crop were he on another network).

There's an exception to every rule.

Guess you missed the Mickie/Ashley match from a few weeks back that the crowd shit on so badly that Styles was forced to start covering for them, huh?
