He has a habit of praising heels and kissing Charlotte's backside every week and slagging off the past generations and god forbid if you use the Diva term he takes offense to it when it was the normal word last year.

Whether you call the female roster Diva or Women its still the same bloody thing. He just likes to nit pick at everything and it doesnt matter if people still call them Divas, its only a message board not WWE TV.
Not really slagging off past generations. For whatever reason (and yes, I do understand that the reason is Vince and WWE, not the wrestlers themsevles), but the previous generation of female wrestlers are not even remotely close to being on the same level to the likes of Charlotte and Sasha. Yes, they didn't get the same opportunities, but this nostalgia you have is just that -- nostalgia. I've been watching some old PPV's recently, and the women matches are not where even remotely close to being on the same level.

Alundra Blayze had the occasional really good match, as did the post Attitude girls (Molly, Victoria, Trish, Lita). The latter really improved from being the eye candy they were originally hired to be. Generally since the late 90's higher up's portrayed nearly all women on the roster as scheming, bitchy amoral one dimensional wannabe models who belonged to a daytime soap. What with that, the divas tag and few if any matches lasting longer than 6 minutes there wasn't much to work with.

Wholesome Mighty Molly Holly, Lita raped by Kane, Natalya's flatulence problem, Piggy James, Eve Torres, AJ Lee as as a crazy chick, Naomi as a Funkette.

What's wrong with praising heels? It's only a message board not WWE TV, if you think someone is doing a good job surely they should be praised?

Do you not have a habit of slagging off the present generation?

Yes but they had been building it for months now. Granted it probably was always going to be a 5 min squash but thought they might have built it up for something interesting.
Not sure you understand what building a match means if you really think they was building this for months

If the Hall of Fame ceremony was under kayfabe, I'd love to have seen Jericho induct himself.

Just watching a few classic matches, and it got me thinking, I wonder what happens to all of the old title belts that are not in use anymore?

They must be kept somewhere surely?

Some Wrestlers keep them.

A few days ago CM Punk gave his (The one he won at MITB) away to Domino (From the tag team with the 50's gimmick)

Apparently they were together in Punks storage locker Domino found it in a box said it looked cool and Punk said keep it.

That is amazing, thanks for that story.

What git me thinking was, I got the Story of Wrestlemania blue ray, and was seeing all of the past belts, and thinking they have gone through a heck of a lot of them over the decades.

The famous Wrestlemania X ladder match with two Intercontinental belts, for example, one must have been put some where else, after that.

I would love to just randomly find one, imagine that, it would be amazing!

A lot of wrestlers retain belts; you only have to see the ones displayed in Miz or The Rock's Hines to see that.

What about the most overratted Diva in WWE history Charlotte or the Bullying Tactics of the Russian Rusev. Yeah. Everyone else no. NXT has a lot of good stars just a shame there impact isnt the same when they hit the main roster.

I dont know why im bothering replying to your post its the same thing over again and the same reply from me time and time again.

What you want me to say? New era is crap and they ll never be as good as the legends from the 70s, 80s and 90s? Ok yes then if it pleases you.

Because she's a bad guy on TV?

or the Bullying Tactics of the Russian Rusev. Yeah.
Why are you real life angry towards the guy playing a fake character?

Does this mean that no heels can be good workers in your eyes?

I would say Trish was the most overrated she was good especially considering how she started but she's nowhere near as great as WWE like to make out.

Compared to today's stars in ring wise she was only OK.

I think part of the reason is due to how poor the rest of the females was in those days. Her and Lita's run stood out simply because they actually had one unlike everyone else who matches etc seemed to have been done at the last minute when someone could be bothered and with a person with a very short attention span in mind

it would be very different now
