December 7, 20178 yr I wish she would have been on top longer in MMA. To the good, the WWE has really put a lot of effort into the women over the last couple of years and Ronda adds more depth.
December 7, 20178 yr First Kacey Catnazaro and now Rousey....WWE is getting after it with the ladies.
December 7, 20178 yr First Kacey Catnazaro and now Rousey....WWE is getting after it with the ladies. When I started watching WWE again just a few years ago the women were definitely an afterthought at best but now the WWE is using nearly 20 Divas and most of them are a part of active (but still subpar) story lines. What I also like about the direction of the women is they seem to be phasing out the ones that can't wrestle in favor of young talent.

What I also like about the direction of the women is they seem to be phasing out the ones that can't wrestle in favor of young talent. No doubt. It seems in the beginning they were simply going after women with good looks and giving them a few wrestling lessons and that was their "women's division". More recently they've seemed to shift into going after women with a skill set and that are world-class athletes as well. I think it's definitely going to make the product that much better.
December 7, 20178 yr Divas is no longer acceptable to describe these Superstars. From 'Divas' To 'Superstars': WWE Embraces Women's Sports Revolution : The Two-Way : NPR They will always be Divas to me, it is a term of endearment. Additionally, this is the kind of hypocrisy that turns me off, if the WWE was so serious about the "name change" we wouldn't be in Season 7 of "Total Divas."

Yep, looks like the WWE opted for the same formula with the Divas and 205 Live.

Their fashion doll line does not use the term Diva's yet I watched the Diva show last night LOL
December 8, 20178 yr She'll get new eyeballs and quite a bit of media attention on WWE, which is what Vince wants. Good move IMO.
