10 Ways Jeff Jarrett Can Make His New Wrestling Promotion A Success
10. Have A Strong Women's Division
A stereotypical view of women in wrestling is that they make for good managers and/or for a fun diversion in between epic matches, giving fans a chance to catch their breath. While this is isn't always the case, a history of bad novelty/gimmick matches (Bra and Panties Matches and Pillow Fights two classic examples) and sub-standard wrestling leaves this aspect of wrestling severely under served. This malaise is particularly prominent in the WWE at the moment. While the Divas championship is on one of the company's strongest performers in AJ Lee, the focus seems to be on the Total Divas, with their reality television show on E! which happens around wrestling, rather than the other way round. The title hasn't been defended in a long time (not including the up and coming match at Wrestlemania 30) and the division has gone stagnant. Both the WWE and the TNA, with their Knockouts division, have had strong spells in the past. Both companies have had good women's wrestlers that have been popular with the male audience for both their wrestling ability and eye candy. If Jarrett can canvas the wrestling promotions around the world for great wrestling talent, he could create fill a gap in the market and draw a large share of the women viewers of wrestling (as well as quite a few adult men) to his new company.
