To be honest, even the mere idea of a “Women’s Revolution” was just a vague trademark from a company that never admitted their mistakes and never was accountable for them, but in this day and age where women’s wrestling is having some of the best to ever do it weekly in the ring, it’s really unfair that WWE does not care enough about giving them the flowers they deserve. Yet, we’re talking about a multi-millionaire company that is slowly falling into trends that just reek of a certain social (and political) perspective of the world, so I don’t believe that this boom of women’s wrestling in the WWE was even sincere: but that’s a conversation for another day.
The point of this article will be to analyze three items that will help us understand why I’m saying that the Women’s Revolution in WWE is dead. These are focused on aspects of women’s wrestling that have not been discussed enough. I’ll discuss the booking of the women’s division as a whole in America, then I’ll talk about the perception of both women’s wrestling and female wrestlers alike, and then I’ll make a deep dive into wrestling culture and how we can understand the complicity of certain fans who have not doubted any of Triple H’s strange booking decisions and have opened the door for a misogynist mindset that has also been criticized by either current members of the roster or wrestlers who left the company.
I’ll start this by discussing the most recent and obvious issue: the booking is awful.
It’s no surprise really, considering the state of the women’s division in WWE and how the most important storyline today is that of Liv Morgan with Dominik Mysterio, making Morgan this kind of “character” that just exists to be a part of a narrative rather than being the protagonist of said narrative as, you know, the Women’s World Champion?
