Friday Five: Wrestling's Treatment of Women

Quite the eventful week in terms of women in wrestling...

1. What is worse part to you about the Eve angle from RAW Monday: that John Cena used the same ol' "Ew, slut" language towards her, or that the writing was so terrible that Eve made such an incongruously schizoid shift in character over three weeks?

2. Buy or sell: Intergender wrestling in the mainstream will only work to mollify fans' inherent misogyny because they'll just want to see women get beaten up even more.

3. Does the treatment of women in WWE make you less desirous to see the best female wrestlers in the indies make it big?

4. Buy or sell 2: The only reason why Kelly Kelly and the rest of the "models" aren't very good in the ring is because they don't get time to improve via longer matches/more meaningful and better written segments?

5. Is there anything close to a quick fix that WWE can do to improve its image and treatment of women characters?
