March is recognized in the United States as Women’s History Month. It’s when we celebrate all the accomplishments that women have achieved through the years and hope for even more in the future.
Much like the real world, wrestling has seen great strides towards equality by women in recent years. WWE’s Women’s Evolution has raised the stakes and upped the game to another level. We all know the greatness of today’s female talent, and we know there’s plenty of hope for the future.
Today, we look towards the past. Women were overlooked for most of twentieth century pro wrestling, including in what became the world’s biggest company. Today’s fans complain when women only get a match or two in a two hour show. Yesterday’s fans were lucky if they got a women’s match or two once a month.
