The Women's Royal Rumble and My Emotions

Image
For McCool and other women of the past who came back, this was an earned moment Photo Credit: WWE.com I am emotionally exhausted after watching the women's Royal Rumble match. I can't write about it objectively because it was such a deeply personal experience, a kind of compensation to me for sitting through years of bullshit, but even more deservedly to the women who competed in the match. You can quibble about so many newcomers being eliminated by the old guard, and if this was another instance of, say, Kane and Big Show cleaning house, I might agree, but in this case that shit felt earned . Lita, Trish Stratus, Michelle McCool? Hell yeah. My girl Molly Holly? HELL FUCKING YEAH. I'd rather see them toss around every asshole who ever catcalled them or every man, in the business or out of it, who thought they were less than their male counterparts, but finally, FINALLY seeing them get the respect they deserve was amazing. And does it make up for Lita having her personal lif...

On a Women's Royal Rumble

Are the new debuts a portent for a women's Rumble? Photo Credit: WWE.com If you want a trendy rumored explanation for why Liv Morgan, Ruby Riot, Sarah Logan, Sonya Deville, and Mandy Rose were brought up to the main roster to do exactly the same things just on different shows, it's because WWE wants to do a women's Royal Rumble match at some point. Whether it's in Philadelphia at the actual Rumble or in New York, either at Barclay's Center or the Hammerstein Ballroom during the RAW 25th Anniversary Special, the hot topic is to bring gender equity to the thirty-wrestler over-the-top staggered-entry battle royale in the same way the company did for the Money in the Bank ladder match. As it stands right now, with the five new entrants on the roster plus the returning Paige, the number of active female competitors on both RAW and Smackdown stands at 21. If you remove the two Champions, you're left with 19 competitors. You don't get to 30, but it's not a reac...
