Breaking Barriers: Demolition’s Smash Acknowledges the Rise of Women’s Wrestling in WWE
The world of professionalism
In the world of professional wrestling, the WWE has always been known for its ability to attract some of the best athletes from across the world and become a thriving place for their career and future. But, for a long time, women’s wrestling had always been pushed to the side, and seen as nothing more than an afterthought, compared to their male counterparts. But, in the recent past, things have drastically changed and, as the world gears up for the biggest wrestling event of the year, WrestleMania, another massive milestone has been achieved for Women’s Wrestling, with the addition of Demolition’s Smash to the WWE Hall of Fame.
The newest inductee in the WWE Hall of Fame
Demolition’s Smash – aka Barry Darsow – has announced that he will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year, alongside fellow fan favorites such as Titus O’Neil and the NWO. This announcement comes as a major breakthrough for Women’s Wrestling, as the induction of Barry Darsow acknowledges not only his outstanding career but also the rise of Women’s Wrestling in WWE in recent years.
Women’s wrestling and its growth
For years the women’s divisions were seen as a side show, with women wrestlers serving a specific purpose of providing eye candy and adding some ‘diversity’ to the male-dominated sport. However, the introduction of stars such as Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Sasha Banks, things have changed. Women now regularly main eventing the biggest shows, their matches are given equal importance, and their storylines are just as thrilling as any other wrestler on the roster. The WWE has taken several steps to promote Women’s Wrestling and their efforts have been paying off with the rise of women’s wrestling and the growth of female fans across the globe.
Promoting Women’s Wrestling
The WWE has shown its commitment to the growth of women’s wrestling, not just by pushing their storylines, but also through their reality series, Total Divas, which showcases the lives of female wrestlers beyond the ring. Prominent women wrestlers are also given opportunities to showcase their abilities in uniquely created events such as the Raw vs. Smackdown Survivor Series matches, which were specifically designed for the women’s divisions to compete against one another.
Breaking Barriers
Demolition’s Smash induction is a stepping stone that Women’s Wrestling needs to break barriers and continue to dominate the sport like their male counterparts. It shows that WWE is serious about its commitment to promote Women’s Wrestling, and provide equal opportunity to male and female athletes. As the sport continues to evolve, and the concept of ‘normal’ changes, it’s great to see women wrestlers being given a platform to showcase their talents, and Smash induction brings light to that.
Summary:
The rise of Women’s Wrestling in the WWE has been acknowledged with the induction of Demolition’s Smash, aka Barry Darsow, to the WWE Hall of Fame. After years of women’s wrestling being pushed aside, WWE has taken several steps to promote women’s wrestling, and promoting key personalities to Wrestling Hall of Fame is a significant step in acknowledging the potential for women in the sport.
