10 Most Devastating WWE Burials Of Women Wrestlers
Alexa Bliss squashing Bayley at Extreme Rules has fans cursing WWE's creative team.
After her total destruction at Extreme Rules, Bayley
desperately needs a hug right now. The doe-eyed underdog, universally cheered
just a couple of months ago, was actually booed as she made her way to the ring.
It only got worse from there as Alexa Bliss, the stereotypical blonde bombshell
who bullied Bayley last Monday in one of the biggest trainwrecks in Raw
history, received a hero’s welcome.
As
soon as the bell rang, it appeared that Bliss grabbed a shovel rather than a
kendo stick as she told the fading role model to climb the turnbuckle, which
Bayley foolishly agreed to, leaving herself open for an ambush. Despite
studying the stick-swinging antics of Sandman and Tommy Dreamer, Bayley
apparently learned nothing, teasing a swing long enough for Bliss to spear her
then whack her like a crying piñata.
The match lasted five minutes and completely buried Bayley, who fans salivated for on the main roster less than a year ago. Now that her inflatable has popped, we’re left wondering if she will ever recover. Hopefully, she’ll have better luck than these women did after WWE booking mangled their careers.
10. Wendi Richter
Twelve years before Montreal, WWE had its first screwjob.
On 25 November 1985, Wendi Richter was double-crossed when Fabulous Moolah was sent to the ring dressed as the masked Spider Lady, assuming the role usually reserved for Penny Mitchell. Although Richter was scheduled to win the match and retain the Women’s Championship, the referee counted to three during a small package (which Richter clearly got the shoulder up on), awarding Moolah the title.
McMahon ordered the double-cross after arguments with Richter over a renegotiated contract. According to Sisterhood of the Squared Circle, Richter felt she was underpaid for her efforts in the MTV specials leading to WrestleMania, as well as WrestleMania itself. She also wanted royalties for being in Hulk Hogan’s Rock 'n' Wrestling cartoon.
After Moolah left the ring with the title, Richter
stormed to the back, left the arena without changing and was never seen on WWE
TV again until being inducted in the Hall of Fame in 2010.
