The PIVOT

On this episode, we break down the pivot of women’s wrestling and how the game truly changed. From the TNA Knockouts Division forcing people to take women’s wrestling seriously, to the Four Horsewomen pushing it into the mainstream, all the way to NXT building the strongest women’s division in the world — we cover the eras, the stars, the matches, and the moments that moved the culture. This is a real talk conversation about the women who went from overlooked to undeniable and helped reshape the business for good.
