When you think of mixed competitive wrestling, the first thing that comes to mind is Andy Kaufman and his comedic antics. However, this sport dates back to the 1950s. To most, it may seem hard to imagine women in the ring in this era of manly men and June Cleaver wives. The women who entered the arena in the 1950s helped clear the way for the men and women who compete in this sport today.
The promoters, however, have done their homework and are now catering to the more feminine side of their audience. Today’s ladies not only aspire for belts and championships developed specifically with them in mind, but some even jump in and compete for the men’s titles as well. It goes without saying that the ladies of this sport have more than proven that there is more to girls than sugar and spice; in fact, that concept was abandoned long ago.
The rules for these events have changed a bit over the years. A man and a woman can no longer fight each other in a tag team match. In the event that a person of the opposite sex is tagged, the other team must tag the person of the same sex. There are no options, and if it is not done in a timely manner, there will be repercussions. It can be assumed that the reasoning for these new rules stems from the contradictory belief that the matches themselves are unfair to women. Actually, one only has to take a good look and realize that these women can do more than take care of themselves.
Women have also made sure not to let the sport get the better of their femininity or beauty. The WWE has even gone as far as calling their wrestling beauties Divas. The Divas can not only kick but in the ring, but many of them can even manage other fighters and even run companies related to the world of wrestling.
Rest assured, the wonderful sport of mixed competitive wrestling will, as always, continue to be interesting and fair to all involved. Although changes will continue to appear, men and women will continue to do what they are good at while continuing to add more excitement and excitement to this sport as time goes on. So whether you are dealing with a more well-known promoter or some lesser-known independent promoters, the sport is a must-see for anyone interested in the world of wrestling.
