10 WrestleMania Statistics WWE Don’t Want You To Know

Should Ronda Rousey Vs, Becky Lynch Vs. Charlotte Flair headline WrestleMania 35, it will formalise an era of true equality. Of course, this equality didn't always exist, because WWE once promoted "women's wrestling" as "an opportunity for fans to either go to the toilet or to masturbate", depending on their mood.

This happened on no less than four occasions.

At WrestleMania 2000, Terri Runnels battled The Kat in a Cat Fight. Runnels went over at 37:14 following a Japanese Ocean Cycle suplex. Just kidding: they both got off with Val Venis, and Runnels won after Venis got off with Mae Young. At WrestleMania XIX, Kitana Baker went over Stacey Keibler, Tanya Ballinger and Torrie Wilson in a Fatal Four-Way Pillow Fight.

WrestleMania 22 was tagged 'Big Time', which likely referred to Jerry Lawler's erection throughout Torrie Wilson and Candice Michelle's Playboy Pillow Fight. There wasn't a dry eye in the house following Ric Flair's retirement match at WrestleMania XXIV, but Jerry Lawler found liquid reserves upon taking in the Playboy BunnyMania match between Beth Phoenix and Melina and Ashley Massaro and Maria Kanellis.

This lust-fuelled list doesn't include WrestleMania 21's Women's Championship bout, in which Christy Hemme earned contendership by agreeing to get 'em out for Playboy - nor 'Mania 22's Mickie James Vs. Trish Stratus infamous V-lick, which McMahon deemed lewd. T*ts out on inflatable beds is classy stuff, you understand. He was probably more annoyed that James generated a reaction on her own.

Nor does it include WrestleMania 23's Lumberjill match, which we all won, wink-wink, because it acted as pretext for Kevin Dunn to effectively insert his camera into Ashley Massaro's vaginal canal.
