When you book WWE, do you abolish the women's division?

[Lita Maivia]

I always change WWE to an "Integrated" roster and then set all the titles to gender specific so that they are given their respective push based on popularity but aren't asking to compete for anything but the women-specific titles that I set as Floating titles.

 

My women are typically heavily integrated in storylines with the men too, though. I often book Intergender Tag Matches and have segments where they interact with one another.

I rarely play the WWE, but in whatever promotion I play I usually do an integrated roster with gendered titles, with the "Women's Title(s)" (whatever I decide to call it/them) set as a floating title. I actually like booking a "Women's division" this way, as I can see them grow into potential superstars (usually straight from an affiliated training school). More than once my women's division became my favorite to book because a particular talent got over or because a particular talent got over (with me ) and I rush booking the male part of the roster to book their matches.

I started with the WWF in June 1998, didn't care for a women's division but since Chyna was in segments with DX she started growing in pop (high 90's). I sent her to developmental for a few months so she could improve as a wrestler and I changed to Integrated (and took a popularity hit in the company) and by mid 99 she's competing in the male's division and is the IC champ.

I tend to keep it, and I tend to make sure that I book at least 2 women's matches a show, however I've just bought out SHINE and made them into my women's development company so had a storyline where Rousey has had enough of not being treat equal to men and quit the company, along with the other females and took the title to SHINE.

 

I was struggling with building new stars up as their talents werent up to scratch with those on the roster already and was growing bored of similar matches in order to keep my ratings strong

If I book the whole company by myself instead of just one brand then yes I do, because it all becomes too overwhelming together

I like that!

I can only remember TNA having one great womens feud. Gail Kim vs Awesome Kong. The rest was pretty terrible. Just because you have great talent, doesn't mean you book great talent.

 

Yeah. I remember watching TNA because I wanted it to succeed since its debut. But the booking ruined it all. Not the washed-up star signings, what people believe was the reason.

 

Apart from Kong and TBP (which at least utilized Velvet to her full potential) the gimmicks weren't memorable. It was all just random. Taylor and Sarita/Stock had a feud to end a long tag team and it meant nothing. And those are some of the most talented women from that decade.

 

I do admit I sometimes book lazy in this game and just randomly put the midcard together, but this is a game, not the reality. I don't actually have responsibilities towards the fans.

 

 

@Fezoman: Survivor Series 2020. "It's winner take all! We're putting it all on the line. It's the men vs the women. Which entity will survive?" In the aftermath, after I book the women to win (because of course I will), it turns out Braun Strowman switched sides and registered as transgender just to be able to stick around.

 

Yeah, a storyline like that might be enough to collapse the industry altogether.

WWE was in a horrid state, and like you said, TNA ruined it and wanted quick wins instead of longterm gains and turned itself in a crap-production version of WWE, hosting good overall shows with horrible main events. And just like in TEW, that puts your company down a lot. WWE had the exact opposite, and just destroyed them in the ratings.</p><p> </p><p> Petey had a nice stable going and feuded with some great talent, but if the light shines on others it's soon forgotten.</p>
