Chelsea Green Comments on WWE Could Be Doing More with Women’s Midcard Titles

CinemaBlend held a recent interview with Chelsea Green. One of the topics discussed included Green’s thoughts about the state of WWE’s current Women’s midcard championships and how she feels that WWE could be doing a better job and more with their Women’s Intercontinental and United States titles.

“I definitely am so happy that we introduced those titles, because I felt like for a long time we were missing opportunities for a bunch of the girls. We just have such a stacked roster between Raw SmackDown, NXT. I mean, now we’ve got ID, we’ve got Evolve, we’ve got LFG. We have so many different brands, and we just didn’t have enough titles to really represent all the girls and the variety of women.
I think that they’ve been a beautiful addition in terms of getting people in the mix, getting women to have a spot on TV.
Do I think that we’re doing all we can with them? No. I would love to see more being done with them. I want Giulia to be wrestling on TV every single week with that title. I wanted Zelina on TV every single week. I want Michin to win the title and be on TV every single week. There’s so many hours of WWE, and we can find a place for those championships if we try. It’s tough.”

Charles Robinson Comments on It’s Not Referees Responsibility When Wrestlers Don’t Kick Out

A recent episode of the Insight with Chris Van Vliet podcast featured WWE referee Charles Robinson as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Robinson’s thoughts about how it is not the referees responsibility when wrestlers don’t kick out of pin near falls spots during matches.

“I like to do the swipe. I think the stopping, number one, is not good for your shoulder, because it’s a lot of force. I mean, you’re hitting it as hard as you can. So that’s the thing it is. The guys will say, ‘Hey, make it close. It’s really not up to us to make it close. It’s up to them to kick out close. I’ll go down. I’m counting out loud for one thing, so they can hear it. A lot of times, I’ll say, ‘Kick out,’ when I get down there, so they know to kick out. Because sometimes guys forget, and in our defense, because people say, ‘Oh, they don’t kick out. Count three.’ Well, if you know that’s not the finish, guess what? Mentally, you’re going to swipe.
We’re not counting for — it’s not a shoot. So it makes it much more difficult to do that. I hear that all the time, man, ‘They didn’t kick out. Well, dude, that wasn’t the finish. We’ll try to fix it some other way. But it’s either we’re going to count all the time, shoot, and you just kick out, or not, which would end a lot of matches quickly, or when they don’t kick out, we just try to fix it somehow.”
