Opinion pieces
March is Women’s History Month, and Trish Stratus is one of those careers that looks completely different depending on where you start the clock. If you start in 2000, you see the truth WWE rarely admits out loud: Trish was brought in as a presentation play, not a finished wrestler. If you start in 2006, … Read more
March is Women’s History Month, and I’m not doing the watered-down version of TNA history. If you want to talk about the Knockouts division as a real TV property — not just a good in-ring division, but a division with identity, heat, catchphrases, segments, and stars — you’re going to land on Velvet Sky and … Read more
March is Women’s History Month, and Toni Storm is the kind of name that fits the point of the month perfectly: not because she’s had one hot run, but because her whole career is basically a long, stubborn argument that women’s wrestling can be anything — gritty, glamorous, violent, funny, emotional, technical, theatrical — and … Read more
March is Women’s History Month, and I always look at it like this: it’s not just about who held the belt — it’s about who moved the standard. Who changed what “elite” looks like. Who made the bar higher for everybody standing across from them. IYO SKY has been doing that for most of her … Read more
March is Women’s History Month, so I’m not doing the “Rhea Ripley is cool” version of this. Everybody already knows she’s cool. The real story is how Rhea became the kind of WWE star who doesn’t just win belts — she changes the temperature of the entire women’s scene. Some wrestlers feel important when the … Read more

Jacqueline is one of those names. Because when people talk about the Attitude Era, they usually … Read more
March is Women’s History Month, so I’m not just picking names that pop the loudest on a graphic. I’m focusing on women whose careers changed the math — the ones who made the business adjust its expectations. Lita is one of those rare wrestlers where you can actually point to the timeline and see the … Read more
March is Women’s History Month, and if I’m doing these the right way, I’m not just spotlighting “popular” names — I’m talking about the women who built the infrastructure. The ones who didn’t just have good matches, but helped change what companies believed women could be trusted with on TV. That’s Gail Kim in one … Read more
March is Women’s History Month, which is basically my excuse to talk about the women who actually moved the needle — not just the ones with the loudest presentation, but the ones who built real equity with fans and then turned that equity into moments that mattered. That’s Willow Nightingale. Because if you’ve watched wrestling … Read more
March is Women’s History Month, and if you’re doing it right, you’re not just running down highlight reels. You’re documenting the women who changed what the industry accepts as “main event” — who expanded the templates, kicked the doors wider, and made it easier for the next wave to be taken seriously. Jordynne Grace belongs … Read more
