During a Q&A at The Wrestling Geek Fest, which featured WZ personality Nick Hausman, WWE Hall of Famer Greg “The Hammer” Valentine had some very controversial things to say about women in professional wrestling.

You can check out the Q&A, via The Filsinger Podcast, at this link.

During the Q&A, Valentine talked WWE’s current product, and said he would do things very differently if he were in charge, namely put an end to the Divas division.

Valentine said women have no place pro wrestling because women don’t, and never have, drawn any money in the business. He added he would “send them all out to the strip bar and fire them.”

Valentine continued by saying women in wrestling are taking jobs from men who need to support their families, and that women are not supposed to be wrestlers or fighters. He said women belong in the kitchen washing dishes and doing all the cooking.

A photo of Valentine at the event, along with Nick Hausman, is pictured at up at the right.

 Greg Valentine can go suck a bag of ######.

According to several sources in WWE, the original plan for WWE’s “Divas Revolution” called for Charlotte to win the title from Nikki Bella almost immediately upon arrival, and for Charlotte, Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch to dominate the incumbents. But John Cena, acting on behalf of girlfriend Nikki Bella, went to Vince McMahon and had that squashed.

The result is the booking we are seeing now in the Divas Revolution on WWE TV, with Divas old and new trading wins, just like the men.

 that doesn't come as a surprise

One thing I forgot to mention from NXT TakeOver Brooklyn: the smattering of ###### in the crowd that tried to put a crimp on the night.

I was at the Barclay Center tonight and before that awesome intro by HHH he asked us TWICE to be dead silent during the intro to give the effect that he was alone in the arena before showing off the audience. He even went on to say backstage told him it wouldn't work but he trusted us. And then when the lights go out some ###### were yelling even though he just asked us in the best way he could to stay silent. Watching it on the network you could hear the bastards and it took away from the moment. This is why we can't have nice things.

 You want to know what really ###### me off during this. I was in the section where those jackasses were heckling during the moment of silence. And one them trying to be funny, chanted CHRIS BENOIT during it. Loud enough for Triple H to notice and say "That's not funny, be quiet".

These were also the guys saying WHAT? During the Dusty Tag Team Tournament announcement. The people around me shut them down but it just left a sour taste on an awesome night

And there were also a few fans who got kicked out just for trying to throw streamers before the main event, but X-Pac came to the rescue.

I wish WWE would embrace the streamers like ROH have done; they look bloody amazing when there's enough of them.

^^ Doesn't have to be that many, either.

I think Kevin Owens is a fan of them, too.

Wow, I knew the women in NXT were good and all, and some of them being on the main roster was awesome to see. But that NXT match was incredible. I never thought I'd see a woman's match that outdid almost any match that men have done in awhile. It's not because I think women can't wrestle obviously, but WWE is moronic when it comes to the "Divas" as we've seen. I sure hope that's a sign of quality to come for the women in WWE. And also, stop calling them Divas. Ugh.

And Brock was not let to be himself . When taker tapped out and then used a low blow to beat BROCK who had won already .:shiftyninja:
It was not the way that match should have ended. BROCK wins it or A draw.:shifty:
All the match proved was Undertaker is DONE. :/

I think they're trying to make Taker heel, for God knows what reason... I really doubt that people will ever boo Taker, no matter what. I was expecting an interference tonight, by Sting, to set up a match with him and Taker at WM, so I was really, really dissapointed by the way the match ended. Lesnar could've win by DQ because of Sting, and this way Taker wouldn't look like a ###### AND it would've been the start of their feud leading to WM. But noooo, leave it  to WWE to ###### things up for good...

I just finished SummerSlam and yeah and no I didn't like this event but didn't hate it.

1. Did not like the finish where Seth won, WTF does John Stewart have any right in wrestling other than a silly feud with Rollins...ruined what was actually a good match.

2. Amell was AMAZING he should just become a WWE Superstar now imo.

3. Lesnar vs Taker was a shambles, I was convinced Taker looked in shape that wasn't the truth. That ending as well...he ended Lesnar's streak with BS

4. PLEASE PUSH KEVIN OWENS AND CESARO

      Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By Case_f · Posted

      Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)

      Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.

    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
