I know they have a women's division now, but what if they were booked in the 1980s? How different would the women's division be? All I know is that we wouldn't see them wrestle as often and the matches on average would last longer than five minutes per show. The women's matches were just that...matches. The women were average looking to attractive (I mean no disrespect there.), but they didn't use their sexuality before the Attitude Era. What I meant was the girls weren't models. They were pretty, but they honed their craft and they looked like regular, attainable girls. (Kind of like the Cheerleade Melissas, the Portia Perez's, Kharmas, and back in the day the Wendy Richters) I guess because wrestling was just as PG as it is now. (It does seem like, however, that some people forget that wrestling was way cleaner years before the Attitude Era.)

Women's wrestling was terrible back then. The majority of the women looked like your grandma's bridge pals in old lady bathing suits and the wrestling sucked. It was barely wrestling, basically snap mare after snap mare and hair tosses, with long restholds in between. Sure there were exceptions to the rule like Madusa and the Jumping Bomb Angels, but even with the poor state of the WWE's Diva's division now it is loads better than anything going on back then.

Thanks for telling me this as I wasn't a regular viewer of the WWE back then. I didn't become a regular viewer until around 1993. It is true that some people have forgotten that the WWE almost 2 decades ago was PG. Weren't most of those women wrestlers back in the 80s trained by Moolah? I cannot recall Moolah being that great a technician.

If the Divas Division was booked in the 80s, Moolah would be whoring all of them out.

Yikes! If Moolah was an overrated wrestler who exploited women, how come she is hyped up as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time? How did she manage to hold on to the belt for nearly 3 decades? Apparently I only know rumors. What is the true story behind Moolah?
