Disagree. The story line sucks but it introduced three women who were immediately top tier performers in the division and eventually (hopefully as soon as possible) the dust will clear on this story line and what we'll be left with is a much more talented division.

I was watching E:60's WWE episode, what struck me was that it looked like all the writers were white men. If that's the case, I really have my doubts of them really being able to do anything (I know they do well in NXT, but it's a large blind spot).

This is terrible. They have killed any momentum that the NXT Divas had.

Crowd rightly doesn't give a damn about the match.

Did Charlotte injure herself? So now one of the only ones who can actually wrestle is out. Wow ok.

The city that went nuts for Bayley and Sasha are chanting JBL. Nothing has changed. Becky, Charlotte and Sasha could have been introduced individually and used as singles wrestler, which is what they're good at.

I agree that the story sucks and that they should've been brought up individually but eventually the story will end and if this story was the conduit to getting those three on the roster, I think that makes it a net plus.

I have no clue who booked the last two segments but after a strong start this raw is starting to suck.

Stephen Amell, who is obviously in great shape, looked kind of scrawny in the ring last night. Shows how big the actual wrestlers really are.

It makes it a net plus compared to not using them at all. But they weren't going to lose them as assets if they didn't use them in this 9-woman mess of a storyline. I would argue that it's a net negative when compared to what you would have if they were called up as singles wrestlers.

but nobody really has faith there'll be a good story in place for them, and by the team it does happen, all their momentum will be gone and we'll go back to not giving a sh*t. you can't just keep giving us 6 man matches week in and week out and saying it's a revolution 100 times a week w/o anything ever f*ckin happening.

it's the same reason nobody gives a sh*t about an orton/sheamus feud and the same reason people dont give a f*ck about most feuds b/c those guys face each other 10 times before they square off at a god damn ppv

If they'd been called up as singles wrestlers it would've been spread out probably over the course of a year or more. And so even if this story lasts 6 months (god help us if that's the case) whenever it ends the division will be in better shape at the end of those 6 months than if they'd just brought up one and then another 6 months later.

how come old wrestlers automatically become heels once they leave even if they've made their name as a bad guy
