Welcome to part 2! I chose to go back in time, as far as 2016 for RAW and Smackdown, to see how things have gone over time and how today fares vs years past. As with my previous work on this subject this is an ongoing project that will be updated as I get more … Continue reading Women’s Wrestling on TV, Part 2 – History
Review – Impact Wrestling Hard to Kill
This is the first pay per view of the year for Impact Wrestling, and the fourth one that I've ever ordered. Away from all the hoopla of WWE and AEW Impact has quietly put on some good shows over the past year and a half. And now that their ill fated partnership with AEW is … Continue reading Review – Impact Wrestling Hard to Kill
Becky vs Charlotte: what’s beef?
It's been three plus days since it happened but the internet has been abuzz since the infamous belt swap of 2021 happened. What started out as a dopey idea turned into an IWC phenomenon that has everyone reaching into their preconceived notions arsenal and firing off every bullet in the chamber while very few have … Continue reading Becky vs Charlotte: what’s beef?
Women’s Wrestling on TV in 2021
Note: this was an ongoing project that was updated throughout the year. It will be updated if and when I find better information or if I need to make any corrections. All the data on matches and match times were taken from http://www.profightdb.com and http://www.cagematch.net.

Dreaming in Reality
As with the Royal Rumble I felt it was best to turn things over to a Black woman to discuss the significance, and Tonya graciously agreed to do that again. She's the author of this piece. Find her at @TheWitchMilitia on Twitter. I sat down to watch Night 1 of WrestleMania 37 this past Saturday … Continue reading Dreaming in Reality
Bianca’s win for Black Women
Note: Because of the uniqueness of this event I felt it was best to get a woman's perspective so this piece is authored by a guest writer, Tonya Rodgers. You can find her on Twitter at @TheWitchMilitia. I have been a wrestling fan for as long as I can remember. As a little girl in … Continue reading Bianca’s win for Black Women
State of the WWE Women’s Division
I got inspired to do this by Becky Lynch's suggestion that the name 'Men's' and 'Women's' be taken off of the top singles titles on each brand. Personally I found the whole 'remove the distinction' thing to be a solution in search of a problem, one that doesn't really fix any of the issues or … Continue reading State of the WWE Women’s Division
Talking about racism….again
It's been a week since the great dragging of Tessa Blanchard began. If you're not up to speed Tessa was set to win the Impact World Title at their pay per view Hard to Kill this past Sunday, a historic feat in which a woman would be winning what is considered a men's title (Impact … Continue reading Talking about racism….again
A Right to Complain?
Not gonna bother with a flowery intro here. We're a week away from WrestleMania, and what was supposed to be a Smackdown Women's title match got pulled from the show entirely and instead we got an impromptu title match last Tuesday where Charlotte Flair beat Asuka for the title. Now as big a fan as … Continue reading A Right to Complain?
Why it Matters
Well December 31, 2018 has been a day in infamy for wrestlers on social media. Seth Rollins stepped in it in the morning over some jokes by Louis CK, and then Tye Dellinger got caught out there when he stood up for the rights of WWE social media people to exclude all the women of … Continue reading Why it Matters
