10 Times Wrestling GENUINELY Tried To Be Progressive
3. Big Egg Wrestling Universe
An altogether more traditional Far East extravaganza in comparison to the following year's Collision In Korea but incomparable to just about anything else, Big Egg Wrestling Universe drew 42,000 fans to the Tokyo Dome in November 1994 for a supershow unlike any other before or since.
The 10 hour, 23-match card was a showcase of the world's best female performers, with male matches peppered in between the All Japan Women, GAEA and Ladies Legend Pro-Wrestling contests that made up the bulk of the evening's entertainment.
Heavily stacked in both quantity and quality, the card is still widely considered one of the finest wrestling shows ever made and stood up for the cause of women's wrestling over twenty years earlier than WWE's delayed reaction to a movement they later claimed complete ownership of.
They should have known better as a result of the show, not least because Alundra Blayze dropped her Women's Title to Bull Nakano there ahead of a 1995 return battle. Not given the opportunity to follow up on their choice SummerSlam 1994 war on an equally grand stage, the two did so in an absolute blinder WWE elected to show mere seconds of in highlight form at the Survivor Series days later.
