It’s always so wild to me that Vince McMahon watched these awesome women’s matches and didn’t think that women’s wrestling was worth investing in. SMFH!
@JoshGreshamORG
I marked out when he did the running hurricanrana but I totally missed the corner king blower and the springboard crossbody! He always said he could do those moves but wanted a long career so he didn’t use them.
The Miss WrestleMania 25 Diva Battle Royal. This match was a slap in the face to the women who were on the main roster at time, the legends that came back for the match and to the fans who wanted to see the match. Then they had a man in drag win the title as a joke. 😩
Drop something KICKY. 💛🟩 🩷
Adam, Kat, & Tanya squaring up with their evil doppelgängers the Shadow Rangers during Turbo. When Adam/Johnny Yong Bosch does that fly ass kick off the rafters, Tanya is still going IN in the background!
That Vince McMahon story broke a year ago today and even after stepping down as CEO and “retiring”, less than a year later he is back as the CEO of the company like nothing happened. Rich, white privilege baby.
This means so much. I am so proud of Bianca. She's made all the work Jackie, Jazz, etc. laid down worth it. The black little boys and girls watching tonight...😭😭😭
#RoyalRumble
I agree with the notion of Jacqueline being at WrestleMania this year to watch Sasha Banks & Bianca Belair main event. Jackie worked the territories, wrestled in Japan, traveled the world in WCW, WWE, & TNA/IMPACT for over 20 years so that those ladies could have this moment.
Came across this clip of Terri Runnels telling Trish about that time that Brock Lesnar flashed her backstage during the UK trip during the infamous “Plane ride from Hell”. Trish was GAGGED! 😂
@PopCrave
The Net was MY SHIT as a youngin! I used to watch this all the time with my big sis. Speed is another one that I watched a lot as a kid with my sister. My best friend introduced me to The Heat a few years back and I loved that.
Wow Stacy Keibler in a WWE game for the first time since SmackDown vs. RAW 2006! 🤯 Interestingly enough I've downloaded Stacy CAWs over the run of 2K19 to put into my Golden Era women's division.

Naomi reinvented herself by finding The Glow, she revamped her look, her ring entrance, customized the Women's Championship and got OVER. The company didn't sell replica Glow titles, light up sneakers, neon merch.

That time in Lightspeed Rescue when they gave the Pink Ranger the big one-on-one fight scene with the evil 6th Ranger, a spot that’s usually reserved for the Red Ranger.
@HailEternal
Broke my heart. It seemed like they were finally repairing Laurel’s character. She was coming into her own with being the Black Canary, her relationship/friendship with Oliver was repaired, things were good with her dad, she had a promotion as the DA…then arrow to the gut.
I always wondered why Ashanti “fell off after 05 and now I know why. Kudos to her for still pushing through and creating music and acting and any and everything else she wants to do. Irv should be ashamed of himself. Another powerful man in entertainment using his power for evil.
Ashanti was essentially blacklisted by Irv Gotti after deciding that she no longer wanted to continue their sexual relationship. Makes me think how many other female artists who suddenly “disappeared” were completely shut out of the industry by controlling manipulative men.
While we're talking about Black women WWE Superstars who received HORRIBLE action figures, look no further than the first ever, Jacqueline. In what world is that thing the lovely Jackie?! And in 24 years this is her ONLY action figure! 😫 Mattel, rectify this please!

@Only1Giovonnie
For the people telling her to get a job, I’ve seen the whole video, she has TWO jobs and still doesn’t qualify for health care from the union and is still having a hard time making ends meet. Please give the smoke you’re giving these actors/writers to the rich execs.
Yo AEW’s women’s division has Thunder Rosa, Athena, Toni Storm, Ruby Soho, Hikaru Shida, Serena Deeb, Jade Cargill, & Mercedes Martinez to name a few. TK you better get it together and book these women like you got some sense man! There’s no excuse, the talent is there!
Let's not forget that Naomi has been a cast member on Total Divas for 7 years, the show has brought WWE a totally new demographic...how can they not see how marketable this beautiful, strong, athletic, charming, BLACK woman is?!
#NaomiDeservesBetter
The fact that there is a
#NaomiDeservesBetter
hashtag after this woman has busted her ass & repeatedly proven herself for 10 years only to have her pushes snatched or not properly promoted & booked is ridiculous. Newsflash Vince McMahon/WWE: BLACK WOMEN ARE MARKETABLE!
I'll probably say this again whenever Stacy's induction is announced but do y'all remember the crowd reactions she got whenever "Legs" hit? Stacy was POPULAR for her entire WWE run. It's not all about wrestling skill & championship runs. Pro wrestling is a variety show.
Happy 20th Anniversary
@Sheltyb803
! I was the biggest wrestling nerd growing up so I remember watching your mini-run on Sunday Night Heat before you’re SmackDown debut. I never forgot the beginning of your theme “It’s all about the Benjamins!”. Thank you for all your hard work!

did what they had to do! I remember being so invested in this feud when I was little. I loved that Trish was fighting to become a wrestler but I also loved how bad ass Jazz was. Such a cool feud that should be acknowledged!
@Cliffysworld
@NaomiWWE
Bruh I cried! Seven long, hard years watching that woman struggle and be passed over and unappreciated...this moment made it all worth it. She got 3 different "You deserve it" chants in three different cities over 3 weeks...she finally made it! So proud of my girl!
@Kollinbenson_
She said in the video that she had TWO jobs outside of acting but she still doesn’t qualify for health care from the union and she’s having issues making ends meet. It’s so sad and infuriating that the rich execs get richer while the workers can’t give livable wages.
All these years later and Lita’s Xbox 360 SmackDown! vs. RAW 2007 model is still her greatest video game model. Even the PS2 model looked more like Lita than anything we’ve seen since.
I want to say poor Aaliyah but I feel like that's a slap in the face to her, she was a SURVIVOR. She did not give up and was able to continue with her career after getting away from that man. Her legacy should be about HER, her music, her style, her talent.

@Madusa_rocks
Trish is a TOUGH cookie! She didn’t do tours of Japan but she bumped for the guys & got her ass handed to her & learned by the likes of Jacqueline, Ivory, Molly & Jazz who built her up for the hardcore matches she had w/ Victoria & the huge rivalries she had with Mickie & Lita.
Britney’s dad was a drunk & absentee most of her childhood yet was deemed fit to control her career & personal life. They tried to say that she had dementia symptoms but here she is on the set of a music video imitating her father to a tee. Jail for everyone involved in the CON!
Trinity should’ve been a part of the 2006 Women’s Title Tournament (along with Jazz) after Trish retired. Trinity should’ve been a multi-time Women’s Champ and should’ve had legendary battles with Beth, Mickie, Melina, McCool, etc.
JDF’s memorial service was today and I’m still in shock and disbelief. This REALLY hurts. I thank him so much for the lessons his character Tommy taught me and the love he showed to his fans and Power Rangers.
#RIPJDF
I LOVE and will miss you so much!
My favorite match of all time is TWENTY YEARS OLD today!

BOOM! Studios have been producing Power Rangers comics for the last 6 years w/ legit good stories! They tackle backstories for the Rangers/allies/villains. The Shattered Grid arc w/evil Tommy/Lord Drakkon was NUTS. Jason/Zack/Trini left to become Omega Rangers & a TMNT crossover!
I hope somebody got a pic of the OG SmackDown women’s division Torrie Wilson, Dawn Marie, & Nidia. That had to be the first time they were all together in over 20 years.
I remember Gail said that the boys thought there was real heat between them because they were STIFFING each other in those brawls! Gail held her own against Jackie when it came to throwing hands!
This moment was so special. I was so happy to have watched this when it aired and was SCREAMING in that living room LMAO! Lita won her first two Women's Titles main eventing RAW, that's some legendary shit!
@ECNALHANID
I'm still not over this... Not sure if you guys know but we got a continuation/tie-in comic by
@ThatRyanParrott
called "Power Rangers Aftershock". It takes place days after the events of the movie. It's a pretty solid story. The closest we'll get to a sequel.
I remember thinking that Victoria countered Gail’s headscissors takedown attempt but Gail debuted her new Flying Dragon/Christo submission that she’d seen Ultimo Dragon use. This was the start of a really cool submission style from Gail.

@StephanieHypes
People really forget about the struggles Becky went through to get TV time or be pushed despite being one of the most women on the roster. She worked her way to this status.
It seems as if the Power Rangers fandom HATES Power Rangers and want it to fail. Spreading misinformation, unfounded claims about how the franchise is dead/will end, being rude to actors & production, not supporting the latest film…I’m sick of y’all!
Damn Torrie Wilson STILL isn’t in the WWE 2K game…she should’ve been in 2K20 since she was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2019. How did Stacy get in before her I wonder. So weird.

@ungodlyrollins
Whenever I hear this song I think of the time they performed on TRL and of course WWE Legend, Victoria that used the theme for about 2 years.
Shaniqua (with a sickening ass ponytail) used to cuss her ass off! You clearly see her saying “F**k you” as she walked out on the stage. 🤣 I’m surprised this made it past censors!

Season 2’s finale came to mind first. The Sarah Mclachlan song playing at the end when Buffy runs away from home feeling like she’s lost everything. Whew! S5 would be next for obvious reasons. Spike breaking down was A LOT! 😩😭
Remembering when Jessica Simpson was fat-shamed in 2009 after a performance. In hindsight (and at the time) she looked amazing. She was hurt by the backlash. And to think, high waisted pants came in style for women about a decade later. The media and online trolls are THEE WORST!
