Spin: Has The "Women's Revolution" Actually Helped Black, Latina, And Asian Female Wrestlers?

[JerseyBoy23]

While many have praised WWE's "women's revolution" in the past three or so years, I've begun to think that it's actually led to less diversity for their female champions than in the worst part of the "Diva" era. During the era that everyone now vilifies, we actually had title reigns from AJ Lee, Eve Torres, Layla, Melina, Alicia Fox and The Bellas. While Vince still had his blonde preference going on, I remember all of those girls I listed having mic time, screen time

In comparison to today, we've only had lacklustre reigns from Naomi, Sasha, and Bayley while Nia's connections didn't even help her get past two PPVs.Instead of embracing diversity it seems that WWE has double down on pushing blondes more so than they did even before the revolution. With Lacey Evans getting called up and Vince being high on Mandy Rose, it looks like non-white female wrestlers will have fewer opportunities than they already have.

With all that said, do you think the women's revolution has actually helped non-white women's wrestlers?

Edit:

This tweet was posted by Nia right before I got the thread idea but sums up the gist of this thread.

No it hasn't, Anything that has a feminine agenda will always be led by white women. Now Vince is about to have KKKlandy Rose run through everyone in the division.

It did when it started. Now? They've all been relegated to the background on the main roster. NXT is still doing work pushing the likes of Shayna, Bianca, Kairi, Mia, and Io, but I don't have much hope for them once they hit main.

If Vince gave a damn about NXT then none of those women would have a chance. Vince only liked 2 black people his whole life and that's Ahmed Johnson and Truth.

I'm actually intrigued to see Mandy get pushed.

No.

hell naw it ain't helped

didn't Alexa have like a 8 month reign?

didn't Carmella beat Asuka for the belt with a superkick or some dumb shyt?

Cokeboy has loved blondes for years so it is what it is we'll all eat good when he figures out who Toni Storm is

naw you missed the point of my post

i said no the revolution hasn’t helped black, Asian or Latina women wrestlers cause Cokeboy has a type, he loves blondes

so when Storm gets called up and inevitably mega pushed we’ll eat good cause unlike most blondes on the roster she actually goes hard in the ring

Becky Lynch, Nia Jax, Ruby Riott and Paige aren't blonde. And neither is Stephanie McMahon for that matter.

Ronda Rousey is an Afro Latina, she's getting a push.

It was a disgrace what happened with Sasha Banks. They literally did a bigger crowd in Boston for Hell in a Cell than they ever did during the Attitude Era.

She literally peaked and then fell off right after she lost that match in her hometown. It’s all because she’s a black woman. She could have been a hero to black and mixed girls and her image could have made money for decades. Even if Sasha is a bad person in real life, Naomi is just as talented and marketable (in a different way) and they didn’t do even a fraction for her. It’s because they are black.

Double spin:

If the women's revolution is so great why is attendance and tv ratings dipping and why is the biggest drop in viewership with women?

looks like southerners love Sasha more than any other region

Massachusetts ain’t even in the top 20 states interested in her but 10 southern states are
