The female wrestling revolution in WWE could be set to continue.

It's no secret that Vince McMahon doesn't feel that tournaments have a place in WWE, but something does seem to be changing on that subject. Earlier this year WWE announced the Global Cruiserweight Series, a 32-man tournament featuring cruiserweight wrestlers from all over the world that would take place exclusively on the WWE Network.

The qualifiers for that tournament have begun, and rumour has it that WWE is planning a similar series for the women of the pro graps world sometime in the future. The rumour stems from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, who claim that the tournament would most likely be along similar lines to the cruiserweight series in that it would be a mix of signed talent and non-WWE performers.

Women's wrestling is in great health all around the world, and putting together such a tournament can only be positive for both WWE and the wider wrestling world. It may just be a rumour, but fantasy bookers can now go into overdrive putting together their desired fields. What price Manami Toyota vs. Eva Marie, or even Sara Del Rey finally wrestling in a WWE ring?

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
