Becky vs Ellsworth was alright as well as it was an eejit getting comeuppance but as a serious contest I personally wouldn't be into it. As far as a counter argument goes, I'd say my reason for having no want for it is the same reasons that we don't have men vs women in any other combat sports, men are just bigger and stronger mostly. I know we see things like Mysterio winning the World Title but I think that was a bit lame too, his subsequent booking showed that up. In essence, I don't mind the ladies getting a shine against the blokes in things like 24/7 situations or when they kill geeks. The other possibility would be having a killer like Ronda or Shayna doing the business but that's the exception rather than the rule. Chyna too. Maybe even Nia to an extent.

The toothpaste is out of the tube and stuff that connects with me personally is stuff that readily admits wrestling is fake. It doesn’t have to be about that mind, Cody/Dustin is a good example: a serious story but also one that doesn’t make any sense if you analyse it too hard (These guys want to kill each other, why? Now they’re closer than ever after killing each other, why?). But it still works because it’s something we want to see done well, so we’ll fill in the gaps ourselves. Nowadays if you try and pretend wrestling is real, it makes me roll my eyes a bit. The only way you make it feel real again is by acknowledging what the audience already knows and respecting them at that level. Intergender kinda goes along those lines for me. There’s no reason women can’t beat up men in this fictional world if that’s what you’re telling me are the rules. I didn’t mind when The Bride did it in Kill Bill, Michonne in TWD, Captain Marvel etc. If it’s performed well in the moment, I’ve zero problem accepting it. It’s no more ridiculous than a ref bump, Irish Whip or rollups being invincible in the 24/7 division.

Merely putting male wrestlers in a program opposing female ones has been seen within the industry as a means of burial/punishment upon the male. Having them lose has been pretty much a death knell for their current run. In short, this type of program carries a large backstage stigma. In wrestling, it's neck and neck with being gay in terms of damage to your career.
leggo wrote: » How is being gay damaging to someone’s career?! WWE used to have a gay Executive VP sure and this was decades ago. And who’s been ‘buried’ after being put in a programme with a woman? Sure Triple H got bashed by Ronda at Mania a couple years ago and he’s usually the one accused of doing the burying.

That said, still plenty of gay entertainers who hide that fact to appeal to a much wider audience. I'd agree that being gay can damage your career. In wrestling, its all about selling tickets and merch. Your private life is your own. Keep things to yourself. Image and appeal is an important thing.
