Women in Wrestling

"BEEP!"
I figured I'd go ahead and do a wrestling thread because why not, had a love for it since forever.
anyway saw this story on a wrestling Vlog and I thought I'd share.
Women’s Evolution Was Something That Shouldn’t Have Had to Happen
tl;dr WWE wants to basically claim that it was the leader in women's wrestling and it always cared about the women's division and yet it was plagued by bad booking bad matches and an overall just lack of care for their women's divisions. to me this is a good representation of what a lot of Feminism has become. All the talk of inequality and breaking sexism and yet thee is this elephant "Your kind of behind the curve. "
Honestly I just find it funny, WWE is now wanting to do what most small town indie wrestling divisions have been doing since the early 80s especially in your more European influenced countries. heck many of the women in WWE's so called Women's evolution already had careers a half decade before.
Piper Niven: Started in 2009 with the Scottish wrestling alliance As the Viper
Toni Rossall: Started on Impact Pro Wrestling in Australia
I mean heck, in the 80s and 90s you had the likes of Reggie Bennett, klondyke Kate, Emily Dole, Dee Booher, these women were making a name for themselves in the independent circuit a full 20 years before WWE decided to play ball. Not to mention the fact that no amount of virtue signaling is going to cover for bad booking, Asuka looks like she just now maybe receiving any kind of push and the only reason why that's occurring is because Becky Lynch had to relinquish her title due to being pregnant. Sadly, I'm betting she's probably just going to lose to charlatte flair...again. and I've yet to see anyone from NXT get a real push in the mainstream WWE.
Anyway those are my thoughts
