Every WWE WrestleMania Women's Match - Ranked From Worst To Best

10. Fabulous Moolah Vs Velvet McIntyre (WrestleMania 2)

Though a paltry minute and a half in length, the astonishing difference between a match featuring only wrestlers instead of including models, celebrities or a combination of the two that would pollute the 'Show of Shows' in later years is legitimately striking.

Though usually a more threatening force in the division, Velvet McIntyre was comfortably dispatched by the legendary women's champion Moolah in a punctuated clash that opened the Chicago portion of the three-citied WrestleMania 2 broadcast.

The scale of the kicking is legitimately impressive though, as Moolah unleashes a string of vicious strikes and armdrags to start the match, before a brief Velvet comeback was thwarted by 'The Fabulous One' when the Irish challenger missed a spectacular second rope splash.

As commentators spoke of the new time record for women's matches, they were gleefully unaware that it would mark the last appearance of the league on the broadcast for eight long years.
