I'll give the same answer I always give - show her Brock murdering Cena at Extreme Rules 2012.

I've had the best luck getting girls into wrestling by showing them stuff that's not WWE first. WWE is so "WWE" that you have to already be into wrestling (if you're an adult) to get it.

Never ever show someone a live show first if you want to get someone into wrestling.
It's guaranteed they'll end up watching a show like...that one.
On the bright side at least this raw was just boring. Usually it ends up being episodes where poop is dropped on people, people take a dump in cars because they ate burritos, and mannequins are dry humped.

In all seriousness, I do think Lucha Underground is a fantastic way to draw in non-fans. It has a telenovela presentation that makes all the storylines and character motivations very clear, the action is fast paced and exciting, and it's edited and cut in a way that makes it feel very vibrant and unique.
Plus, it's one hour, once a week, and divided into seasons, so keeping track and following it like a normal TV show is possible.

You gotta introduce her to the man that sets every lady's loins on fire.

My wife hates wrestling. When she first saw Cena, she was like,"Why does he wrestle in jorts? He probably gets his butt kicked all the time." How wrong she is...
Then she started watching total divas a year ago, but she still won't watch Raw unless it's a divas match. Her favs are Natalya and Paige.

My girlfriend got into NXT via the Vaudevillains and Bayley. My girlfriend has excellent taste.

Another vote for Lucha Underground. It's so brilliantly over the top and removed from the world of wrestling tropes that it's just not-wrestling enough to work.

Tie her to a chair in front of a computer with the WWE Network and tape her eyes open.

She watched from Big E vs Titus till the end. I don't think she'll forgive me Comments included: In reference to Reigns "he looks like he came out of a mud pit but showered" About Big E : Bad haircut Then she asked why everyone keeps walking through the crowd. How can I convince her to give wrestling another chance? Show her this dude, she'll never miss a show again.

The Rock. Always start with him. She's already aware of his existence and would likely be more interested to watch something involving him when he was a wrestler. Just have her watch that first. If she's still not interested, she's not interested. It's not for everyone. Don't torture her with it.
Fandango ab pics would work too.

Eh sometimes you just can't make people like wrestling.
I had a friend watching the night The Nexus debuted and they thought it was completely stupid, whereas most people consider it one of the coolest moments in modern WWE.

You could always not try to make her like it. It's okay if you are a fan she isn't.

How can I convince her to give wrestling another chance? Start showing her episodes of The Wire & just keep insisting it's RAW My girlfriend indiscriminately falls asleep watching tv. It took 4 viewings to finish S1E1 of the Wire. The good part - she quite literally never hogs the tv.
