Some would call the WWF's women division in the early 1990s a shambles. This isn't correct - for that statement to be true, the WWF would have needed to have had a women's division.

Between 1990 and 1998, the women's championship was active for less than two years. In that time, only three women held the belt: Alundra Blayze, Bertha Faye, and Bull Nakano.

Nakano began her wrestling career as a teenager in All Japan Women's Pro Wrestling, where she would go onto hold multiple championships. She later performed abroad in countries like the United States and Mexico, where she became CMLL's first ever women's champion.

In the WWF, Nakano was brought in to give Blayze a credible opponent and the two feuded over the title for the majority of 1994. Nakano unsuccessfully challenged Blayze for the belt at that year's SummerSlam, but would capture the title in Tokyo at an event called "Big Egg Wrestling Universe".

Japan never fails to deliver, does it?

Nakano and Blayze propped up the WWF's woeful women's division in the mid-'90s, proving that women could actually put on hard-hitting matches, even if the company showed no interest in promoting them.
