Females never battled as active as the males anyway so I don't see how that's a issue. QOTR only ever had 2-3 events a year to begin with(not including closed rooms)
I agree about the atmosphere change. But they outgrew the original ring. It was inevitable.
The entertainment aspect has completely vanished.
Even their sparring room sessions back in the day where entertaining.
They may have outgrew a ring period. I know the ring is their thing & it's what differentiates them from everyone else, but I don't know about the actual ring anymore.
