The disadvantage is just being a woman therefore being less athletically coordinated. WWE has put them on TV more is all they've done. With the exception of Becky, Charlotte, and Sasha their women's matches are still piss break segments that are long enough for you to take a shit. |

Damn, if they just had Homicide and Hernandez they'd have the tag team advantage.

Haven't watched any WWE in many months..... But I'd watch if they did an all women's show not on the network

Them getting more time was eventually going to happen due to WWE hiring a ton of women ever since modern NXT started and needing to cater towards female viewers to salvage their struggling ratings. The historical disadvantage never had anything to do with athletic ability and instead the dated mindset promoters and fans in general had towards women's wrestling till recent times in the US. Also didn't help that women wrestlers till recently also had fewer options available for quality training and work. |

You can't say it has nothing to do with athletic ability.

Don't feel bad a lot of people wouldn't pay for pure woman's wrestling.

Rumor going around the net is that Triple H might be a member of Team NXT for the Men's Survivor Series match.
Supposedly Triple H isn't fond of the idea but its still being considered according to WrestleVotes.

Because even if we give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he is protesting from a purely magnanimous point of view - that the focus should be on the actual NXT talent and not a hard ploy for more "star power" - even he knows how much shit he would get if he got back in the ring over someone else who should be getting more ring time. He would get all sorts of "gloryhog" backlash.

Honestly, who gives a fuck about any of it?
If HHH ends up in the SS match or not, will it actually matter or make any real difference? Yes, in theory it would be "worse" if he did, but will it actually be any better or matter if he didn't? I can tell you the answer to both questions is a quick and simple no. Also, who gives a fuck about what CM Punk thinks about wrestling at this point? Yeah, he's still outspoken, honest, and probably not wrong, but so what? Him speaking his mind isn't actually going to change anything either way. While, I'm slightly curious to hear his take on things, it doesn't matter what he says as it won't change anything, and I'm certainly not going to go out of my way to check it out. If I happen to come across it, so be it, but I'm not going out of my way, and certainly not to watch live, to simply check out a "WWE" show to see what some has been's take is on the current product. It's pathetic and pointless, like almost everything else WWE tries to do, and it's not even a "true" WWE program. |

Apparently Adam Cole won't be on the NXT Men's team for Survivor Series since he's now defending the NXT title at the show.
Also means all that time spent showcasing him for NXT's invasion stuff resulted in nothing meaningful in the end in terms of the Survivor Series build itself.

I get there was no fn way wed get Cole/Fiend/Lesnar but seriously all 3 separate title matches are stupid
They could have at least announced Cole/Fiend/Lesnar, take Adam Cole out in the Wargames match with an injury and stick Finn Balor in his place as the Demon since he has history with Brock and the Fiend at 2 earlier big 4 PPVs this year. |

It’s obviously gonna be Dunne since Priest and Dain are heels.
Dunne will also probably be the 4th member of Team Ciampa at War Games. |

TakeOver was out of the question since the WarGames build has been UE vs. Ciampa and Pals. Survivor Series build made it seem like Cole was going to be the leader of the NXT Men's team due to the spotlight he was getting before they suddenly changed their minds. |

According to Fightful and Joey Janela, Game Changer Wrestling has managed to become the second best selling wrestling promotion on FITE with only AEW ahead of them.
Pretty amazing considering they specialize in deathmatch and hardcore wrestling but have also done a great job showcasing quality lucha and regular indie wrestling for their shows. Sort of like a modern ECW after taking over that mantle from CZW in recent years.

Probably since he's mentioned before his AEW contract allows him to work for GCW during his free time and he still wants to keep working there from time to time. Those specialty events he runs have been huge money makers so doubt he nor GCW wants to end those any time soon.
A lot of AEW's roster also have similar terms since Luchasaurus and Darby Allin are wrestling at an indies event called Storecade in California this weekend. http://socaluncensored.com/event/storecade/ |

With Page leaving THE ELITE (watch Being the Elite) I think that once Scurl comes in it will create a natural feud between the two. And Page is best at working the ROH style main event, add in Scurl... yeah it's gonna be the best of ROH on TNT. I love how AEW truly doesn't need any more talent right now. Add in Scurl and all is set. I just want to see them work what they have signed already, with the exception of female talent. Almost all of the female talent they have brought in for one off's are worth signed over the girls like Britt Baker (DMD) and Allie and Brandi.

NXT UK rehearsal and taping revealed
the best part is hearing the voice the announcers can hear which I assume is just like how Vince works in the announcers ear on regular tv |
