10 Wrestlers Who Broke Typecasting In The Most Epic Way
1. Charlotte Flair
Charlotte Flair signed with WWE in 2012, after careers as a professional volleyball player and personal trainer took a backstep in order for her to follow in her Father's footsteps. When her brother Reid passed away a year later, she dug even deeper to ensure his dreams were realised through her - a lofty challenge considering her older sibling David's woeful attempt to do the same a decade earlier.
For somebody carrying such a huge weight of familial expectation without having wrestling as a first love, 'The Queen' has - in less than six years - become one of the era's best all-rounders and one of the best second generation stars in company history.
No more will those from outside wrestling entering from another field be bullied or bantered off for not having it "in their blood" or whatever absurd qualification used to supposedly be needed. Charlotte did, still didn't pick it, and still became one of the best to "walk that aisle" in her own time.
Every female wrestler over the past few years has been forced to smash at least one stereotype - Charlotte shattered all of them.
