Exactly dude, women being a sideshow spectacle was very much an exception not the rule. There's nothing particularly weird about what WWE and AEW are doing, it just doesn't align with the very narrow "template" that served as the entirety of most people's idea of wrestling in the 90s-2000s.

Their non-SF fighting game IPs I should say.

Vince Russo ruined multiple generations of wrestling fans.

That's such a cool ass conversion damn
