In 1993, Alundra Blayze was the focal point of the WWF's renewed women's championship. But by the end of 1995, despite some good matches, women were deemed to be doing nothing for the business. Blayze was cut, while still the champion. She then turned up in WCW as Madusa, dumping her WWF title in a trash can. It was one of the most outrageous spots in the entire Monday night war, and Vince McMahon erased her from history as a consequence. The title was reactivated in 1998, before a serious reinvigoration of women's wrestling with Trish Stratus in 2001. The entire mid 90's scene was never mentioned, and the history was told that it was Stratus who had broken down barriers as an attractive girl who could go in the ring. Blayze's pioneering role was totally overlooked, as Stratus and the early 2000's scene was wrote into history as the arrival of serious women's wrestling in WWE. Finally, at the start of 2015, WWE relented on that stance. They re-wrote history again, this time acknowledging Blayze / Madusa and her role in the industry. However, they did this solely so they could do a spot at the Hall Of Fame, with the title being taken back out of the trash can.
