10 Times Women's Wrestling SERIOUSLY Kicked Ass
8. Bull Nakano & Aja Kong Keep A Division From Flaming Out
There was no hiding from reality when it came to the WWE Women's Championship between 1993 and it literally being thrown in a bin in late-1995.
Despite the best efforts of Alundra Blayze herself, it was a one-woman division, and title trading between Blayze and the biggest/baddest heel of the day wasn't really selling the concept of a competitive league in the background. But Bull Nakano and Aja Kong in particular did a pretty amazing job of obscuring that. As her key opponents in 1994 and 1995, the All Japan Women's killers looked like impossible mountains for the perennial superstar to climb.
In Kong's case, she never managed it. A Survivor Series 1995 debut set the table for a Royal Rumble 1996 encounter, but the infamous Nitro moment for a returning Madusa put paid to that and indeed any plans for the women until 1998.
Tragically, perhaps the single best moment to air took place when the pink strap was already being fished out of the trash by a WCW crew member. On a Raw taped during Vince McMahon's blissful ignorance around Blayze's impending jump, WWE presented Kong in action against Chaparita Asari and in just over four minutes presented a painful (and awesome) snapshot of what could have been.
