It's the match that inspired Cameron to become a wrestler and ultimately led to this... Truly, the Greatest Night In THe History Of Our Sport.

This isn't that one Kaitlyn vs. Aksana match that essentially just one long headlock.

I'm alone in this and I've joined in the memes but I always thought Austin was a bit of an asshole there for his reaction. Everyone gets into wrestling for different reasons. Maybe it was the first time she had ever seen wrestling and identified with the women involved.

Maybe it was the first time she had ever seen wrestling and identified with the women involved. The only match my gf has ever told me she enjoyed was a random NXT women's match. I don't remember who was in it other than one of the women was Japanese If it had led to her being a fan and becoming a wrestler I'm sure she'd have been mocked by Austin too

Maybe it was the first time she had ever seen wrestling and identified with the women involved. I don't know this for certain, but my guess it's more "oh, you're not really passionate about this, you're just naming the first women's match you can think of off the top of your head, aren't you?" than "you named a match I think is crappy so I'm going to gatekeep and look down on you." I could be wrong about that, but it's always the vibe I got from guys like Austin regarding some of the recruits for shows like Tough Enough.

I have never heard what Austins personal thoughts about that was BUT what I do know is that his reaction in that moment told Erik Van Wagnen that she was gone because he let Austin just do his thing and Austin trusted he would know what Austin was thinking and then do whatever he needed to do in the edit.

But, on the other hand, it was just so f***ing funny.

I would've found it much more interesting if he would've asked her to explain why such an... unconventional choice seemingly inspired her on some level, rather then just him straight up mocking her for picking what he thought was a stupid match. I mean, have Austin or Cameron commented on this at all since?

I do recall that at the beginning, Austin promised that we would hear about Cameron’s NEW favorite match.

I remember at the time there was a theory that Alicia's sister, who was on the show too, showed Cameron this match to show off her sister wrestling.

Thats the only comment I'm aware of.

Also would have accepted Kaitlyn vs. Rosa Mendes from FCW.

Thats the only comment I'm aware of. That's the part that always bugged me. I never thought it was this great reply by Austin, more "that's shitty of you to say". Even if Cameron just named a match off the top of her head, I always felt Melina and Alicia Fox were disrespected. Like, dude, you know who the f*** they are. Stop playing for the camera. Maybe I've just been too sensitive, but it made my eyes roll the first time I heard it, and I still don't get the adoration this moment's received over the years.

Maybe it was the first time she had ever seen wrestling and identified with the women involved. I have to say, with retrospect, this is how I've started feeling about it too The match that got me into wrestling was a Nitro main event of Sid Vicious vs. champion Hulk Hogan in 1999. Hogan won by pinning Rick Steiner. It was garbage. Everyone has a different entry point.
