American women's wrestling for the most part has never been on par with the gold standard of Japanese Joshi wrestling however there has been bright spots here and there. Here's my top 5 American women's matches of all-time not involving a Joshi.

5. Thunder Rosa Vs. Serena Deeb ( AEW) Double Or Nothing 2022

4. Gail Kim vs Awesome Kong at (Impact) Resolution (2008)

3. Charlotte Flair Vs. Becky Lynch Vs. Sasha Banks at (WWE) WrestleMania 32 (2016)

2. Thunder Rosa vs. Britt Baker (AEW) Dynamite (2021)

1. Sasha Banks vs. Bayley (NXT) TakeOver:Brooklyn (2015)

I like women wrestlers what can I say Im a perv I like the jiggle and movement. The skill set has definitely improved since the days of the fabulous moolah and Wendy Richter. I even watched GLOW.

I likes the Wrestlemania match between Sasha vs Bianca.
I am more invested in Black Wrestlers
 
I think Tony Khan should bring Mercedes Monee as Saraya mystery partner. At the end have Saraya turn on Mercedes and just say I have been waiting 10 years for this Payback is a bitch for injuring her

I watch em just for Cory Graves commentary, same goes for the guys matches too. Only matches I actually watch are Rey Mysterio, Ricochet, Seth Rollins, and Austin Theory . My buddy says I need to watch AEW, but I honestly don't have the time.

The Attitude Era and Ruthless Aggression Era spoiled us.

The Good And Bad of Dynamite ...

The Good
New set looks dope. Clean and streamlined. Got rid of the TNA tunnels. The lighting is better. Crowd is mic'd better.

Extremely HOT crowd!

Ricky Starks vs. Chris Jericho (Good match. Jericho puts over Starks.)

Hangman/Moxley segment

Dasha in that white dress

Bryan Danielson/MJF segment (This was excellent!. Loved it. The build for this match is going to be fantastic. Danielson challenging MJF to an iron Man match at Revolution.)

Swerve vs. AR Fox (Excalibur mentioning Swerve And AR Fox's rivalry dates back to Lucha Underground. The match itself was pretty solid. I love how Swerve is being booked.)

Saraya saying Toni Storm will be her partner next week which is a swerve for the Mercedes appearance.

Skye Blue & Kiera Hogan vs. Jade & Red Velvet (Although the match wasn't good I did like the story being told between Jade and Red Velvet.)

Darby Allin vs. Samoa Joe (WOW! Darby beats Joe. Second TNT Title reign. TK taking care of his day one guys.)


The Bad
Jay Lethal & Jeff Jarrett vs. The Acclaimed (Was good until they did that stupid finish and restart.)

The Gunns segment (Meh)

Overall it was a good show tonight.

One thing is for certain Mercedes will be there next week. She may not be wrestling but she will make an appearance in some fashion. What could also happen is Shida could turn on Saraya and Toni and align herself with Mercedes. I've been waiting on a Shida heel turn for a while now.

I'll watch every now and then, but for the most part I'm not as into the women's wrestling as the men's wrestling unless they're telling a really good story.
I think if we're being honest, most guys just like looking at the women jiggle around in the ring and could care less about their wrestling ability.
A lot of that Japanese women's wrestling comes off as pedo shit to me, sorry.
They look like kids to begin with (many of them dressed like schoolgirls) and do all that weird yelling. Unwatchable to me.
 
Mickie sounds like a complete idiot here. Prior to 2020 New Japan never featured women on their Wrestle Kingdom show. She's acting like there's some long history of women at Wrestle Kingdom.

Secondly, for someone who's suppose to be passionate about the advancement of women's wrestling way to completely disrespect Tam Nakano And KAIRI who had the very first women's IWGP championship match at a Wrestle Kingdom event. If you're about women's wrestling it shouldn't take Mercedes showing up at Wrestle Kingdom for you to get excited about it. You should be happy for Tam and KAIRI breaking down barriers to be able to wrestle on the show traditionally dominated by men.

 
Thoughts on Wrestle Kingdom 17...

Tam Nakano vs. KAIRI (Pretty much a sprint because they only allowed the women 5 minutes but with what they were given they did a awesome job. KAIRI retains. NEXT TIME GIVE THE WOMEN MORE TIME!)

Mercedes Mone Debut (She looked great. Carried herself like a star and yes she was nervous but she'll be fine. I'm sure she's already getting pointers on how to get over with the Japanese crowd. The best way she'll be able to do it is by delivering great matches with the Stardom women. If she starts pumping out five star matches you'll see how quick her stock rises in Japan. I'm excited to see what she has to offer outside the WWE bubble.)

Yoshi-Hashi & Hiroki Goto vs. FTR (Good match but too short for my tastes. FTR drops the belts to Hashi and Goto. Kevin Kelly on commentary goes in on pro wrestling illustrated for not including Hashi and Goto in the best tag team conversation of 2022.)

Ren Narita vs. Zack Sabre Jr. (This match was for the brand new NJPW TV belt. Was an excellent technical match. Loved the MMA ending)

Tam Tonga vs. Karl Anderson (Anderson did some fantastic heel work in this match. Stiff and brutal. I thought he was going to take the lazy way out but he actually put in a good performance here.)

Bushi, Sanada & Tetsuya Naito vs. Shota Umino, Hiroshi Tanahashi & Great Muta/Keiji Muto (Muta's final match in New Japan. Entertaining and fun. Muta at his age attempted to do moonsault but Tanahashi talked him down. Good send off for Muta. At ringside were New Japan greats like Tatsumi Fujinami, Masahiro Chono and Jushin "Thunder" Liger.)

Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay (God tier level match. Will probably get 6 stars. They need to do the rematch at Forbidden Door 2. )

Kazuchika Okada vs. Jay White (This was good but both men were put in a tough spot after the Omega/Ospreay epic. Hate that they put the belt back on Okada but considering this show was dedicated to Antonio Inoki I understand it.)
 
Sounds like a case of if I can't have it nobody will. He's such a bitter old man. He can't stand it that WWE is having any amount of success without him so NOW he wants to pursue a sale of the company.

I thought Vince would die before stepping down from the WWE…seems like I was right.

What’s the next move?
Does he hold all the cards as the majority stockholder or does have to get one of Puttin’s hitters

He's trying to sabotage WWE now. With him coming back the stock price will drop like crazy therefore losing the company money. His EGO is out of control. Good luck trying to sell the company to a high bidder with Vince apart of the negotiations.
