This is the shyt that gets on my nerves, fam. WWE can't be constantly shytting on that era of women's wrestling and at the same time demand fans be respectful of the talent from that time. Talent, by the way, that they themselves shyt on by giving them those short ass matches, having stars like AJ and Paige whose WHOLE GIMMICKS were built around being the opposite of the Total Divas mold, and essentially building the 4HW as ushering in something better. They themselves created the negative connotation around the word "Diva" within the context of WWE.
You can't have it both ways. I'm sorry that women like The Bellas or Trish didn't get the opportunities the women of today are getting, but that's progress. Don't be mad at fans for calling out the revisionist history and what feels like steps backward; be mad at WWE for putting that glass ceiling there in the first place.
This too. I've said it before, but for a field supposedly full of tough guys and tough girls, wrestlers are sensitive as fukk to criticism. I follow a lot of creatives on Twitter, and if one of them is whining about their fanbase criticizing their work, 9/10 times it's a wrestler. And listening to some of these podcasts? Bruh, I can feel the hurt secreting from my speakers.
I get it; fans can be obnoxious as hell, and I fully support clapping back when the situation calls for it. It's just that a lot of these wrestlers act like they can't stand even the mere idea that fans would have negative feedback or opinions on what they do.
