10 Biggest Moments In WWE Women’s Wrestling History

Todd Pettengill's borderline racist interview with the brand new Champion at the 1994 Survivor Series may have significantly undermined the moment to western audiences, but Bull Nakano's victory over Alundra Blayze as the semi main event of All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling's legendary Big Egg Wrestling Universe was a landmark moment for the under-utilised WWE Women's Title.

Blayze and Nakano were routinely having the best matches on cards across the country in 1994, most notably when they threatened stealing the show from underneath the Harts, Razor Ramon and Diesel on a red hot SummerSlam undercard.

Left off the Survivor Series in favour of Jerry Lawler abusing little people, Bull and Alundra instead contributed ten glorious minutes of hard hitting action to a ten hour supershow in front of a whopping 32,000+ in the cavernous Tokyo Dome.

Their post-WrestleMania Monday Night Raw rematch was almost as good, but brought a permanent end to the programme following the firing of Nakano immediately following it. During a particularly barren period for in-ring excitement as 1995 limped out of the blocks, Vince McMahon taking a pass on the spellbinding efforts of his own talents regrettably foreshadowed an incoming malaise.
