Deal. *Shakes hand*
WWE signing any female wrestler not named Sara will further prove that they don't 'get it'.
Jessica Havok wants to wrestle Beth Pheonix.
plz sign her wwe
I'd accept Melissa though
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
I'm still completely mystified as to why/how Sara Del Ray still isn't in WWE.

She claims to be a Zombie killer, maybe she can challenge Taker's streak in that case, better than Bork Lazer.
*Shakes hand*
When you have someone like Natalya Neidhart and Tamina Snuka doing nothing in the company, it's quite understandable.

Poor business sense. They were already buying the Kings of Wrestling, so they could have just got her for free* with the right coupon.
*Plus S+H
It'd be better if she teamed up with HHH, he'd bury them and then she would kill them when they rise
above hate
Don't worry, WWE. I'll handle Sara for you.

The June thing has to happen tonight if it's happening right? Maybe Laurinitis will blow up Vince or something, since he obviously had no qualms about shoving him into a steel cage. Even if Big Show won, wouldn't he think that Vince would fire him for that?

Meltzer didn't say that they would keep away from TNA guys for 2 years, just that the lawsuit will probably go on for 2 years. If the lawsuit ended this month or next month they could do whatever they wanted after it's over. WWE definitely won't be touching any TNA guys while it's going on though for sure.

To be fair, we all want to wrestle Beth Phoenix, and no one's pushing for us to get signed.

How many people here actually like watching female wrestling? Even if they are good at it? Just curious.

She can't run the ropes as good as Kelly Kelly.
So can they sign Matt Morgan to a contract since he's out of his TNA contract or is that something they can't do at the moment because of this?
I do when they can actually wrestle. I don't care about 2 "divas" pretending to do some holds and gymnastic moves, even if they are wearing the most slutiest clothes they found.

Suck it Bryan, here's a properly applied submission on Punk.
Women's wrestling? it can certainly be enjoyable when good, it's just a shame that i've forgotten what good women's wrestling looks like these days.

I wish Raw was 3 hours tonight.

Speculation is they won't, because they WWE lawyer McDevitt told the Judge that they had no interest in any TNA talents and no intention on hiring any of them. So if they hired Morgan it would make them look like liars and that's not good.
I wish Raw was 3 hours... every night of the week!
Suck it Bryan, here's a properly applied submission on Punk.
Sorry, who's that? I can't quite make out who is it.
I don't. I'm going to be perfectly honest, but that probably has to do with the WWE always making it clear that it's inferior to the male half, and always turning them into sex objects.
The best thing for the divas division would be them getting their own show on the new network were they can actually develop feuds and rivalries.

Me. I love 90's Japanese women's wrestling promotions like AJW, JWP, LLPW, etc, with wrestlers like Aja Kong, Akira Hokuto, Manami Toyota, Kyoko Inoue, Dynamite Kansai, Shinobu Kandori, Bull Nakano, Chigusa Nagayo, etc, women who could and often did produce matches as well worked, as hard hitting and as intense as their male counterparts. And although joshi wrestling isn't what it once was, there are still a lot of women's wrestlers that draw influence from that era and are putting on awesome matches every year in promotions like SHIMMER, Oz Academy, AIW, NCW, etc.
Here, just watch this - 90's AJW was fucking awesome;

AJ may be too busy starring on another special on the network.
Wow, this video is awesome.
That's a great compilation video, thanks Bōtāy.
Edge is the rightful GM, since he is the GM-slayer.
Me. I have a rather large collection of early joshi stuff like AJW featuring Kong, Toyota, Nakono and the like, some shimmer and chikara does a lot of great stuff

Some dude called The Prototype
ADR ended his career so he inherited the position, but now he's injured so it passes onto Great Khali, rejoice!
Great interview. I like Pete Rosenberg's interviews with wrestlers.

I've always meant to watch more Joshi.
I remember on an Observer Radio a little while back Meltzer was saying the Manami Toyota hair match is the best match that he has ever seen live. Sean Waltman was meant to go with him to watch it but ended up not going and was then devastated to hear how great it was since he missed the chance to see it.
At least that'll make for some great ratings in India!
But no one will understand what he says! Ive heard him yelling into the mic in punjabi is just as indecipherable as his english
Time to bring back Ranjin Singh! It's not like what he writes goes on air anyway.

Yeah, I can imagine it was pretty crazy live - I don't remember it being one of my favourite matches, but they always made such a huge deal of the hair vs hair matches, the crowd were really invested in it, and the end with Manami having to be restrained because she doesn't want Yamada to go through with the stipulation was a great moment and got the team of Yamada & Toyota over huge, which led into one of the legit best matches ever, which Meltzer gave 5 stars;
Manami Toyota & Toshiyo Yamada (c) vs Dynamite Kansai & Mayumi Ozaki - 2/3 falls - (AJW 11/26/92)
