Stephanie McMahon spoke with ESPN earlier in the week about how Triple H and the fans (#GiveDivasAChance) were the catalyst for the revolution that occurred in the WWE Women's Division. 6-time Knockouts Champion,
Gail Kim, responded to that thought on Twitter(in the PIC), giving credit to TNA/Impact Wrestling for the change in women's wrestling. Kim held the WWE Women's Championship on one occasion for 28 days.
Here is what Stephanie Said:
> “It came about for a couple of different reasons. One, my husband, Paul Levesque, known as “Triple H” … he’s in charge of all our talent development. And what he wanted was to recruit the most elite athletes in the world, male and female, and he wanted to give the platform to really train. So men and women were trained the exact same way. And not only that, then in NXT, which started off as our developmental brand… and is now a global touring brand, the women were actually given the same amount of time in their matches on television as the men, which had never really happened before. So this groundswell came about from our audience. And, of course, on the executive side a number of us had been advocating for this for a long time, but then, there was a match on Monday Night Raw and it featured a tag team match of our, what was then called the Divas division, that lasted all of thirty seconds, and our fans started a trend called “Give Divas A Chance” that trended worldwide for three days.
> And their voice was so loud, and so strong that our chairman and CEO [Vince McMahon] responded and said “we hear you, keep watching #GiveDivasAChance”. And since then, at last year’s WrestleMania, again on our grandest stage, WWE Hall of Famer Lita came out to the ring and she announced that we were rebranding the Divas division to the Women’s division, she unveiled the new championship belt which evolved from a butterfly to a championship belt more akin to the men’s, and said that our female athletes are now going to be called Superstars – just like the men.
> And since that time, our women have competed in main events from television storylines to pay-per-views and – we still have a long way to go, but we’re certainly getting there, and they’re incredibly talented – all of our women, and all of the women who’ve paved the way throughout history.”

Wah wah wah boo hoo.
Technically aj lee nagged stephanie into doing it on twotter. Wwe loves twotter.
No fan support for Gail on Twitter it seems...some of the comments...
> Gail Kim is the best pro wrestler ever. Don't believe me? Ask Gail Kim. She will tell you over. And over. And over. And over again. She's had one memorable feud in her entire career (vs Awesome Kong), but pretends like she's the second coming of Hulk Hogan.
> She did get her opportunity and she failed to take advantage of it in the WWE. Everybody knows TNA will push any former WWE star they get.
> Stephanie had to look Gail Kim up just to see if she was somebody who worked there before or just a troll, then realized that she was the woman who rolled out of the ring during a battle royal and nobody realized it until later because she's so insignificant and had a good laugh at the woman she forgot ever existed.
> A show almost no one watches revolutionized women's wrestling? If you say so, Gail. Whatever makes you feel better.
> You know there are many women's wrestling promotions like Shimmer, Stardom, and Shine that keep the women's wrestling going full circle without having its talents brag about it on social media.
> Shimmer & other Women's promotions started before the Knockouts, Gail. You're welcome
Why does this guy get treated like a big deal and pushed everywhere he goes? He's one of the most boring wrestlers alive
ya finna watching it finna perro
dude is a good self-promoter
>>2415463
Because he has a big dick.

What did she mean by this?
>>2415376
Who is that guy and why are they talking about his cock?
>>2415391
Their cuck brother. Brie is fucking based
>>2415376
Wtf
Is this the greatest friendship in WWE history?
>>2415359
No, this is.
The Relationship of brainless WWEDRONES and Vince is timeless
>>2415377
trip on deancuck
What's his best match?
It will be this Sunday when he finna exposes the undercarder
>vs AJ at Extreme Rules last year
>vs Brock Lesnar @ WM until autist Rollins showed up
>>2415337
The Wrestlemania Main Event against Brock because he Main evented a Mania while CM Cuck didn't because when he out fans to sleep versus Jericho at 28, WWE knew he was shit
KNOW
>>2415312
No, AJ doesn't like dumb roided up jocks, she's only into real men.
>>2415317
HI Phil
>>2415317
CM Punk with teenage angst at 36 isn't a real man. It's a bitch boy just like his fan base
I haven't watched wrestling for a year, and am watching last week's 205 Live. Is TJ Perkins' entire gimmick that he likes video games? If so that's pretty gay.
>>2415304
Yes.
>>2415304
Is this whole thread just a reason for you to call TJP gay?
if so
That's gay
>Several former WWE Superstars have been hacked since the leaked photos and videos of Paige got out last weekend. Former WWE Superstar Tammy Sytch said that she got an anonymous text from someone and that included a topless photo of a popular WWE Superstar. It’s not clear if she is talking about a current WWE star but she did mention that it was not Paige.
>Thankfully, she did not confirm who this person is and she wrote the following on Facebook:
>Very upset right now. I just got a text message from a random number (area code is PA) and they sent me a picture of a very popular WWE diva topless in a very provocative pose. I know for a fact that she has never done any nude photo shoots. This was a private photo. I texted her and she said her iCloud was hacked. This is so fucked up that someone would do this to her. She is an amazing person and someone I’m proud to call my friend. Whoever did this…. You are such a fucktard. People deserve their privacy. Just because we are celebrities does not give any of you the right to invade our personal lives!!!!
>Sytch added, “It’s not photoshopped. And on her behalf… She does look amazing.” If you think she will spill the beans on who this person is, then think again. Sytch said, “I’m not naming her…. So don’t keep naming names expecting me to confirm or deny.”
>If you are a current of former WWE star, my suggestion to you would to use 2-factor authentication on your iCloud account and change your password ASAP.
Lol does anyone really want to see her nudes?
>>2415295
>I don't actually know but thanks for the free publicity
Sunny's credibility is less than stellar, there's zero way to corroborate her story and she won't say who it is.
this is like when Tom Arnold said he saw tape of Trump saying "nigger"
REALLY
MAKES
YOU
THINK
>2008
>>2415258
It's a winning formula for a multi million dollar empire. The end.
I can't believe people still watch WWE when there is a wealth of better pro wrestling out there.
Calling it now.
Undercarder is so done at this point and beaten to shit
Roman will beat him in less than 3 minutes.
>3 min and 5 min "main events" at mania
God bless Vince
Yeah this match won't last long. Braun will probably come out at the end with all of the heels and try to lock Roman in a casket.
>>2415283
why can't they just make it triple threat? Both Braun and BBD can go all out while Taker can join in every now and then
>forget when WM 33 is happening
>Check wiki
>In a fucking week
Where are the fucking storylines? The matches that got something resembling one are Seth vs HHH (if its happening ) Ko/Jericho and Bray/Randy.
Goldberg vs Brock, Brock F5'ed Goldberg...ok i guess thats enough
Taker vs Roman, they traded signature moves, and thats it
Cena/niki vs miz/maryse is just a comedic piss-break
Shane Aj is there because they need aj to do something
Neville Aries was done last-minute when they had months for it to start and build-up
The rest i don't even give enough fuck to write about it. Am i supposed to be hyped or something? I thought atleast a month was away with how the booking is going on right now.
Also why isn't Braun retiring Kane or Show?
Deancuck vs Todd "Fartcuck"
Storyline: Cat and mouse game since last june.
Deancuck as Triphammer vs Deancuck as Bretcuck
Deancuck as Dacreaner vs TroothBombz+BME
You've got to hope that they feel they have some secret booking in their pocket that means they don't need to go into Mania with a bunch of ongoing stories.
Then again, there's every chance it is just going to be shit.
>>2415213
cringe
I just realized it was Mania soon also. Feels weird. Nothing to get hyped about. There's not a single match that I can't wait to see
My question is what was the first match was so terrible that cause this man to be kill?
>>2415159
Jinder vs Big Cass
>Seth is a safe worker
When will someone put a stop to him?
That diva tag match with Asuka
The day wrestling died
I'm still shocked Omega lost in the first round and not even to one of the finalists.
>>2414982
He tanked wrestle kingdom's attendance and japanese buy rate and got no real growth for new japan world in the west
They tried giving him the push meant for AJ but Omegetty couldn't fill his shoes
Going forward Elgin or Cody will be the new top gaijin and Kenny will shit up the new japan midcard doing comedy with the young bucks until wwe throws him into nxt next year
>>2414997
Based Kenny working this guy into a spluttering, crying, seething mess of a """"person""""
pic obviously related
What are these guys doing that keeps them off the shelf, even when they were full time guys?
they both take long breaks from wrestling
>>2414944
RVD was just flexible and durable as fuck.
Don't know what Jericho's secret is.
