How can people still be dismissive of women's wrestling?

they're not watching Arisa Nakajima or Meiko Satomura or Chihiro Hashimoto.

I ain't either, but I believe 100% what you're saying. I'll try to find time for joshi after Wrestle Kingdom, that's when my japan_wraslin' interest level (plus G1) is at highest anyway. Might learn to love. \o/

I don't understand the specific criticism of "Intergender is unrealistic because a smaller woman can't beat a large man."

I'm over 250 pounds. I am a big guy with years of experience in grappling. There are female judoka and BJJ players who beat me stupid in class. PARTICULARLY my brown belt female BJJ instructor. Wrestling is a combat sport, in universe, and someone well trained in a combat sport can be good enough technically to overcome a size advantage.

Not my POV but I guess the idea is that they SHOULD be athletes at their peak and man are physically stronger by default.A peak woman still would have less strenght than a peak man.


Still fights are fights . Anyone can win.And then you have dumb things like Corbin no selling Becky's punches.A muscled up woman will still f*** you up if she gets in.And there is nothing weak about that

Strength isn't everything and there's a giant hammer wielding murder clown on these shows.

I might have to start diggin' FAN's 2005-2006 wrestling board and find out if there's lots of praise for women during those years.

I think there's such a good mix of actual talent and nutrition to ' hormones nowadays. Many times the best part of the show. o/

You know what, you just influenced me to do this. I mean you can talk about matches with Trish, Lita, Mickie, and Victoria and while some were passable, you also had the likes of Ashley (RIP), Candice, Melina, Jillian, etc. At least Candice improved over time, and Melina wasn't bad in the ring, either.

Corbin should have sold those as annoyed.

I just do not get into tessa with her shitty strikes taking on madman fulton or brian cage. I also do not want them beating her up.

I mean sami callihan is a shit wrestler who looks like he smells bad. So i do not give a shit about callihan.

The thing with asuka vs minoru suzuki was asuka eating those slaps.

It got me sick to my stomach and i am a fan of both

They should give those hammers to women so they can threaten last bunch of the grumpies with 'em.

Reminder: for a time in 1984, Wendi Richter was a bigger draw than Hulk Hogan.

I think some of that had to do with that she was one of the best-looking female wrestlers at that time. Then again, I could be wrong. How was she at promos? I think I might need to check out stuff from that time.

years and years of a misogynist in Vince and a talentless clown in Moolah insisting it be booked as a joke/excuse for T & A. ESPECIALLY Moolah.
