A little over two months ago at WrestleMania 37, we saw four different women's matches take place. All four matches had been built up on TV, and all four of them had some kind of stakes attached to them, whether that be a championship or a title shot. This might seem like an odd thing to praise.

If it weren't for this contest, women like Michelle McCool and Rosa Mendes never would have had careers in wrestling, and rightfully so. While it did give us talented wrestlers like Taryn Terrell and Eve Torres, it's still a blight on women's wrestling One of the worst, howev...
