    I think the only problem is that there aren't as many established talents who can sort of pass the torch to Kofi to help his run. A big win against a big established star I think would really help cement him. A win against Brock would be nice... but I don't know if that would be in the cards.

THIS is part of why people keep turning on WWE, they're tired of this repetitive nonsense and favoritism.
    also doesn't help that asuka last title run was entirely done to build up the main event of WM and to put another belt into the mix: she only won the belt because of ronny getting involved. she won over becky so she could enter into the royal rumble and win it. and she dropped the belt to charlotte on free tv to add another belt into the mix. after serving her purpose, she was pushed to the side and now resides in a dead division.

    Basically yeah. Because WWE decided to go all in with Becky, they made Asuka and her title win a complete afterthought. They gave Becky a mega push at the expense of the other women on the roster minus Ronda and Charlotte.

    Course, you can argue in NXT they sort of did the same thing with Asuka as her mega push essentially came at the expense of the entire NXT womans division.

    But that's the tricky thing about womens wrestling. THe division are so small, the belts and opportunities are so little, when you decide to go all in with one person everyone else is going to take the hit for it.

    According to a source in #WWE, certain folks at Fox are not impressed with this week’s numbers (#WWEStompingGrounds included) and are meeting this weekend with Vince, Triple H, Stephanie and a couple of producers to address any concerns and changes. #SDLive

    jesus man, i know you like to defend the company's honor but that's not even close to an unbiased pov. either that or the xpression "straw that broke the camels back" is completely lost on you.

    that is both a weak defense and not true. it takes some creativity and longer term planning but it's entirely possible to go all in with 1 person w/o everybody taking a hit.

    Not really.

    We got the
    Raw title
    SD title
    Tag title.

    That's four women with a starting role, and arguably 8, when you push their main rival.

    8 women getting weekly time is pretty damn good.

    After the trial with the WWE doctor Colt sued Punk because Punk said that he'll cover his legal fees and he didn't. Colt sued Punk for the legal fees he promised to cover. This is Punk countersuing back.

    If it's the straw that broke the camels back, then clearly Sasha had other issues prior to her having to drop the belt otherwise that straw wouldn't have broken her back. Which is my point. If a straw was going to break the camels back, then she needed a vacation anyways. Hence her probably needing to drop the belt and take a break. If she's unhappy to the point where she wants to leave, then she probably shouldn't be carrying the title. That's just common sense.

    In Beckys case, all in meant giving her both belts. So really it was just pushing Ronda, Charlotte, and Becky. Asuka was left out in the cold because of it, which was kind of my point. Less people can get pushed when they are literally giving her all the singles gold.

    But yeah, counting the tag belts that does double that number.

    or here's a crazy idea, you STOP piling **** on the camels back and you don't have to worry.

    i love your logic though, you should totally work for vince.

    xpac: vince we have a bit of a problem with sasha
    vince: what is it??
    xpac: she's getting tired of us constantly dicking her around
    vince: what do you want to do, stop dicking her around??
    xpac: no, i was thinking we job her out, preferably to somebody she has personal animosity towards.
    vince: xpac, i'd like you to take over as head of creative for the womens division effective immediately.

    she held the belts for like a month and dropped one back to charlotte. if that's going all in it's really not worth the sacrifice.

    Uh, dropping the belt is what broke her back. How is that difficult to understand?

    You can argue giving Becky both belts wasn't the sacrifice but it did give her one more unique thing that no one else has done on top of being the first woman ever to main event WM. While it may be debatable on whether or not it was worth it, I get why they believed Becky was worth it.
