I like how this peeing during shows/not peeing during shows has ended up turning into a bit of a pissing contest. Kind of appropriate.
I have a MAN bladder, as such, I can hold it in for a full 3 and one quarter hours before I go into kidney failure.

That's why before watching any WWE program, I drink a gallon of water and eat at least 5 burritos prior to the show.
This way I can take as many piss breaks as needed and have ammo to take a dump during the Undertaker's entrance too.

When I went to the tapings in Birmingham back in November. I'd rather have had a divas match on the second taping than four 3MB matches over two nights But that's like a 12MB! How could it not be any more awesome?

I missed Triple H's entrance & the Shawn Michaels interview at WM28 as it seemed the diva's match was the only affair I would not care for, which is a pity as I love Beth in ring and don't mind Eve...blame me not knowing who the Hell the celebrity was.
It wasn't out of disrespect or anything albeit, being a type 1 diabetic means too much sugar in random snackage throughout the day = needing a leak.

It's interesting to watch the mass of people exit once the diva's come out, often more interesting than the match itself.

I almost hate to say it, but back when Sable and Sunny strutted around half-nekkid and hot-Chyna and Torrie Wilson were doing Playboy pictorials every other month general interest in Divas Matches were MUCH higher. Has the PG-era ruined Lord Tensai's gimmick the Diva's Division? Before you answer that, let me remind you that the most famous modern Diva of all time (Trish Stratus) used to manage a team called "T and A"... Edit: After reading the last two sentences again I just realized that yes, the PG-Era DID ruin Lord Tensai's gimmick!

I go during intermission or commercial. I don't feel the need to disrespect the Divas, they're trying to entertain. Well they're failing. Not their fault, but they are.

I'd say they're more "concession stand" breaks than full on Bathroom breaks

When I was in Edmonton, I used the NXT season 3 taping to go hunt for a CM Punk shirt. It took forever, so I missed a good portion of it, thankfully. Ahh, NXT season 3. That show sold a ton of t-shirts and beer.
Anyway, they're trying to entertain and they're failing at it. It's more the fault of the people booking. There always used to be popcorn matches, and basically lower card guys were thrown into those matches. Everyone's settled in. I think Dusty Rhodes brought up some logic of, when they go and get their popcorn, and they hear the crowd roar and react, they're like, man, I missed something big, I better stay and watch next time. The divas matches though, not a chance, because most everyone is so untalented and useless.
Also, good to see many of you have iron bladders, but beer, coffee and water doesn't always stay in there nice and steady, especially over a long show.

Yeah how does peeing work during NXT3? I figure you just would have to have a toilet built into your seat.

Was this when Raw was in town a couple years back? While the CM Punk/Kevin Nash feud was just starting up? I was there and I can't for the life of me remember NXT airing for that. Not that I'm saying it didn't happen, just that it must have been so insignificant that I can't remember seeing it.

They had matches building up to that Brand battle show that I forget the name of.

Are you saying you don't care about Bragging Rights and the prestigious Bragging Rights Trophy wasn't memorable to you?

I haven't been to a bar to watch mania in some years now, but for a while I went every year.
I'll tell you what the big hit with drinkers needing a piss break was. It wasn't the diva matches, it was Undertaker's entrance.
I actually went for a piss break right as Taker's music hit, when I walked in, bathroom empty.
Then while I'm at the urinal, suddenly whole bathroom fills up and there's even a small line. Was hilarious.

Here's the thing:
Nobody but the most jaded/dork/juvenile viewers treats the divas matches as a bathroom break.
All the men stay during the match. They want to see the T&A. But no man is going to cheer for a diva, because that would be seen as "gay" or at the very least extremely sad and perverted. So most of the men watch with rapt attention, but remain silent.
The women also watch the match because grrl power and also the bizarre spectacle of their own gender performing the same things the men do.
In fact, the only significant numbers of people who really complain about the divas are little boys. Because girls are icky and boring, and they'd rather see the big wrestlers beat each other up.
The last group, the pencil-necked-geeks who refer to the divas matches with such a disrespectful term as "bathroom break" are the types who also repeat the tired cliches that they are all blonde implanted types, can't do technical moves, or are too edgy to admit that they just like looking at them.
And yes, I have been to multiple WWE live events, and there is no mass exodus during the Divas matches. The people you see leaving their seats on TV are the same numbers who are constantly moving in and out between every match.

I haven't been to an event since to look for it but at the June No Way Out show in NJ and the following Raw in LI my friend pointed out all the people walking out to me. I didn't take a picture but it definitely happened. There were people streaming down the aisles out of the arena.

Someone show these guys how to use Google. I've heard that argument a thousand times before. "If I wanted to see porn I'd just look on the internet." Yes, but how often do you get to see women who look like the WWE divas in person? As far as the TV goes, there is a huge difference between looking at cheesecake photos of some hotties, and the WWE divas. There's a particular allure to seeing athletic women doing their thing. Nobody calls the women's volleyball matches during the Olympics a "bathroom break".

At live events I've been to more people have typically went to the bathroom during the television commercial breaks when WWE airs it's own hype videos on the titantron.

Well, that's what I mean. I should have said attractive athletic women. That's the whole gimmick of the divas.
