10 Wrestlers WWE BURIED At WrestleMania

10. All Of The Women (Miss WrestleMania Battle Royal), WrestleMania 25

In 2009 women were still being marginalized in WWE, being categorized as ‘Divas’ without being given anywhere near the same platform as the men had. This was summarised by the only match featuring female talent at WrestleMania 25 being won by a man, 'Santina' Marella.

Often the punchline to an unfunny WWE joke, Santino was obviously not the right person to win the battle royal featuring the majority of the women’s roster, who were ultimately fighting for a nothing prize anyway. The angle spoke to how stuck in the past the company was that a male comedy performer was already perceived as a more credible prospect than many of the under-utilized talents that existed in the division at the time.

The match went on for about ten minutes with entrances and follow-up included, which again showed WWE’s apathy towards the division considering the rest of the card was nothing to write home about outside of the obvious Shawn Michaels and Undertaker classic. Having any of the women compete in a singles or tag bout would have been far more preferable to all of them having to be on the receiving end of the latest Santino Marella punchline.
