It was nice being a wrestling fan in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. There were the Monday Night Wars!
Now, if you’re a women’s wrestling fan like me you were primarily interested in the storylines involving the girls. WWF (am I allowed to say that or are animal rights activists still going to mad at me?) had Sable, Chyna, Trish, Lita, Stephanie, Luna, Ivory, Tori, Jacqueline and countless other women capturing the attention of the fans and getting people to see that women could hold their own in the ring and be sexy! WCW was going for the same approach…minus the making fans care about the girl’s in-ring ability.
Sure, the girls in WCW weren’t exactly known for their in-ring abilities towards the late 90’s (minus Madusa who was unfortunately stuck wrestling Oklahoma….but we are NOT going there) but they were all characters and each of them had an interesting wardrobe to show off their character. Let’s revisit a few of my favorite WCW Divas…er…Knockouts…er Nitro Girls? I don’t really remember what WCW called their women.
