Regularly updated thoughts on what is happening in mainstream wrestling.: Women of wrestling [then and now]

I can't be the only one who is tired by the cheap attempt for ratings that the WWE and TNA try to get by having women who flaunt their body during the show. It's almost as if they have completely given up on trying to put together a good wrestling show, so they think, ah, let's just stick some half naked women in there, that should entertain the audience. I don't want to sound like a pervert, but I can't be the only one who has watched a women's match [though I watch very few of those now] and thought 'these girls are pretty' rather than 'this is an interesting match. It's because most of the women in today's women's divisions can't wrestle. They're are just there to look nice. Eye candy, as you call it.

Kelly Kelly? Trish Stratus? Mickie James? Velvet Sky? Kaitlyn? These girls were [and are] women's champions? Is this a joke? Women like Molly Holly and Ivory, they could wrestle [a bit]. At least with them, it wasn't about what they were wearing, but more about what they could do in the ring. Not it's difficult to tell if TNA is trying to stay clear of using women as objects. Sting himself is supposed to be a born again Christian. So is Vince Russo [who was writing for TNA not too long ago], yet TNA is still filled with women 'flaunting their stuff.' As for the WWE, well they're supposed to be a PG program now, but that does not stop them from including women with very little on, as part of the show.

I miss the older days with the likes of Miss Elizabeth standing at ringside. She was not a wrestler, she was a valet, but she had class. Some of the valet's now seem like they're put there to take the attention off the match. Just look at the difference between Miss Elizabeth and Molly of the older days, and the current female champions of the WWE and TNA promotions.
