More people have voted on this poll than they have on any of the match of the year polls. That bothers me for some reason.

More people have answered the poll than read the MBC.

You are to refer to Katie as "The Duchess of Der Basterdmusen" as of June 2014. She'll get angry if you don't. You've been warned.

I totally get people being against this because of card space and the fact that we probably have anywhere from 6-10 new wrestlers already coming in following the latest batch of "You Take Ems" though now Blue could go create 25 new ones based around female characters.

I'd suggest if this move forward maybe starting out small with highlights from house shows and the AWA building up to the first "live female match on AWA television" at SuperClash or something. We could run with maybe several legit characters who just beat up on random local talent while focusing on the premiere females who then battle for the AWA Woman's Campionship (we need another poll to name the division!) at said show.

There was an earlier attempt to try to get a women's division rolling and it never took off. From my perspective, the angle attempted seemed to be a case of "if people are interested, this will lead to something." I don't think that was quite the way to get it to work.

With that said, I think something along the lines of what Joe suggested could work. I once had a thought that a monthly show which carries the AWA banner could be possible, in which the focus is entirely on the women's division. Perhaps holding the shows at WKIK Studios for the most part to give it the AWA tie-in. That keeps the main AWA shows from getting too long and avoids the battle for "screen time."

Then you have the women's division have its own small supercard, then keep its ties with the AWA by having a match or two featured at SuperClash.

Something along those lines, I'd say. Mostly trying to find a solution to keep the main AWA shows from getting too lengthy, which I imagine is the biggest concern with adding another division.

ETA: Something to keep in mind: It would help to have somebody else willing to step forward to write the commentary around the matches, so that Blue isn't burdened with additional writing.

I would be willing to write...if anything actually comes of this.

That being said, Bob is right. The original angle just made me feel shut out of participating. It was pretty insular between the characters involved.

Didn't the AWA originate from an idea where Blue would write 100% of everything by himself?

I blame you for letting him have enough free time to do that!

So... a pretty split result again.

It's probably poor timing for it, to be honest. We're adding several characters with the I Make 'Ems to both singles and tags.

I appreciate the passion for it for the people who've got it and I wouldn't mind doing another women's angle to "see how it goes" but I don't think we've got the resources to commit to a full-fledged division at this point.

I'm also not opposed to the idea of an AWA sanctioned women's division starting as an "internet show" and slowly being worked into the main shows if they're successful. But I ain't writing it!
