The “Women’s Revolution” is currently ongoing in the WWE. They’ve rid themselves of the term “diva,” and no longer are women’s matches focused around bikinis and dance contests.
It’s been a bumpy road to get to this point, but the WWE is seeing success in their women’s division once again.
Emma and Dana Brooke are in a good feud with Becky Lynch. Charlotte and Natalya are set for their rematch at Extreme Rules in a submission match. For the first time in years, there are two women’s rivalries that mean something simultaneously.
For those that missed it, the WWE announced their latest recruitment class. Five women and five men were signed to developmental contracts.
It’s fairly obvious that the WWE is focusing on women’s wrestling, just as much as the men. Being a great wrestler and mic worker is usually how they pick their male talent, but what about their females?
According F4WOnline.com and Wrestlezone.com, a guideline for female talent looking to get to the WWE has reportedly came out.
Someone within WWE sent out the following list of “guidelines” for female talents looking to get into the company or the reported women’s tournament:
- Stop gigging on indie shows.
- Get in your best shape possible
- Start working on promos
Is this a surprising guideline for female wrestlers? They aren’t asking too much for new recruits. Most wrestlers should be in the best shape possible. Promos are very necessary in the business. Lastly, blading won’t happen in the WWE, so don’t do it at Indie shows.
This is a very fair guideline for potential female wrestlers in the WWE. All of their recruits have one, if not all of those. Dana Brooke is a great example of someone is great shape and didn’t blade. She was a former-fitness model. Now, she’s on the main roster.
Others were great Indie wrestlers, now one of them is Sasha Banks.
Should other guidelines exist, or is this too harsh?
