Jim Ross:
"We
get lots of emails from fans of women's wrestling. I hate to break the
news to you die hards of this specific genre but unless the decision
makers change their philosophy, and my money is on them not doing so,
women's wrestling is essentially going to remain a supplement to the
overall product that will remain positioned to appease to the male demo
by providing sex appeal. Don't kill the messenger on this one but one
can see this play out each week on TV. Yes, there are some very athletic
women in wrestling, and, yes, there are some very lovely and hard
working, dedicated ladies in wrestling, but the days of these ladies
athletic abilities being fully utilized don't see to me to be eminent.
Provocative entrances and ring attire along with suggestive language
seem to indicate that the dye has been cast and the women in today's
wrestling world know their role and most seem to be happy to have the
work and to be getting TV exposure. Perhaps the athletic side of these
women will become somewhat more of a focus. "
