Last year on the 4th of July, I took a look at the 2004 edition of the Great American Bash , one of the worst pay-per-views WWE has ever held. Well, one year later, WWE would once again hold the Great American Bash, and it was still bad. Granted, it's a slight improvement over the previous year's event, and the card definitely feels more pay-per-view worthy than 2004's (there's not a Luther Reigns or a Mordecai match in sight), but it's still not a very good show overall.

However, when it comes to the women's division in WWE, that hasn't always been the case. And not even just in the Attitude Era, I'm talking about the early 2000s up until about 2016. I've ragged on the booking of women's wrestling during the Attitude Era (both in the WWF and WCW) more than a few times here, but I've rarely talked about the period after that and how, as a whole, it'...
