Greg “The Hammer” Valentine appeared on Filsinger Games’ the View Podcast and said that he didn’t believe in women wrestling, boxing or being in MMA. You can check out the full podcast at the link, with Valentine’s comments beginning at about 41:44 in. Valentine brought up his points unprompted in the middle of answering a question about bringing managers back. He said, “As far as girl wrestling, I would send them all out to the strip bar and fire ’em…I’d fire every girl wrestler I ever saw. They don’t draw any money, they have horrible matches. They’re terrible. That’s the way I feel.” He added, “They take away jobs from men that need to support their families. They should be home washing dishes and cooking and pregnant and barefoot…I love women … but they gotta realize their place. They’re not supposed to be wrestlers. They’re not supposed to be MMA fighters or boxers. It’s bullcrap.” It's worth noting, that the host of the show then called Valentine’s comments a “perfect heel interview,” and he laughed and agreed with the host when called the “Donald Trump of wrestling,” but otherwise he didn’t appear to be “in character” or joking. 411mania.com/wrestling/greg-valentine-says-women-shouldnt-wrestle-or-be-in-mma/

Guess someone never got over being under Wendi Richter on cards in 1985.

Oh, Greg. Greg, Greg, Greg. Funny thing is, Ronda Rousey probably drew more against Bethe Correia than the Hammer did in his career.

Has Greg Valentine ever been relevant since his feud with Ronnie Garvin in 1990? Shouldn't the mod hommies put this in Wrest?

63 year old man has outdated view on life. Hardly a shocker is it? Thankfully it is an outdated view and that he didn't share his opinion on homosexuality as well

Bear in my mind I have never watched women MMA or boxing, if we're speaking strictly wrestling, no women wrestling has given me the same buzz of watching a men match. And I don't think any of them are the level of mid-level guys. Now I have not watched NXT before so maybe Charlotte did some great stuff there, she's clearly better than the others as far technique, etc...But so far, they are still a novelty act until one of them really show me something. Show me something that the men cannot do for example.

He probably just got sick of being mistaken for a female wrestler from behind by handsy co-workers.

But he was part of the WWF at their peak in the 80s with Hulkamania and all that stuff. Bear in mind it was more of a team effort but these guys made a crazy ton of money. SNME had like 10.0 ratings. Not sure if Rousey will ever come close to making the kind of money the 80s wrestlers made. George St. Pierre didn't even get close to that.

Her entrance with that robe she wore was something you rarely see from anyone these days.

Also, that was one match. Let's be real here. Greg is stupid as Hell to say all this stuff. But I cannot lie to myself and say that I would prefer to watch any of the current Divas wrestles than guys wrestle. Even if I'm sick of seeing Sheamus and Orton.

To be honest it says a whole hell of a lot of how much progress still needs to be made with women's matches in WWE when a mediocre match like that is used in a "you need to see x" context.
