Beyond The Beermat

Major changes rarely happen in an instance. What usually happens is that a series of small – almost imperceptible – events build up to a point where something big becomes inevitable. This is the point we’re at now with women’s wrestling in the WWE. Evolution in the truest sense of the word. It’s not about the newly announced all female PPV as it is both the journey up until this point and also the foundation from which it will build. We also have to look at certain individuals along the way who have helped lead the way, as well as a rather exceptional group of current day superstars primed to shatter preconceptions of days gone by. What these women could stand for in future generations means a lot. The wider world looks on. How sincere a part WWE looks to play in this modern context is unclear. We can only look on right now with hope. In the meantime, we can raise a glass and record a podcast to the ladies that broke the Diva mould.
