Madusa recently sat down with Wrestling Inc, where she spoke about the evolution of women's wrestling.
āI think itās spectacular. It circles back to what I was saying, we are where we are at because everybody before that did their job. Every era is an evolution, every era is a revolution, you know? Every era is a learning situation. Either you liked it or you didnāt, it was good or it wasnāt. But it brought us to this point and itās still going to elevate, and it needs to. It needs to elevate or change or the product is just going to stink.ā
On the lack of women being brought back for legends returns.
āHereās my theory on that. We have men in their 60s out there, signing contracts, still making money, making debuts once every quarter. Why canāt a legend woman? We havenāt changed. Hereās the criteria, every guy, or man, not every, but men would like to say, āWomenās wrestling is better, itās gotten better, theyāre getting paid, theyāre just as equal now, thereās intergender wrestling,ā No. Itās still not, it still hasnāt changed. Youāve got one or two women making a million dollars and the rest arenāt. When youāve got hands and hands and handfuls of men making it.ā
āWhen we get a certain age, women all of a sudden just became ugly. Men, bless their heart, they seem to get better looking, right? Thatās what society says. But women, people feel that when women get older, they donāt need to be seen. Weāre getting older, we donāt look good, whatever the case is. So we donāt belong. This is a younger sport; this is a younger personās job. Thatās the mentality. Except for, itās okay for men to still have the legends work, so our system is still busted.ā
