WWE Hall of Famer Alundra Blayze, also known as Madusa, is regarded as a pioneer in women’s wrestling. She has long advocated for the advancement of women in sports and continues to do so. In an interview with Just Alyx, she discussed female wrestling and whether it will be profitable in 2023.
Blayze said, “OK, let me ask you a question. Why doesn’t the women’s WNBA sell out ever? The truth is the truth. It’s an all-women’s league. Women don’t appeal to the majority. It is what it is. And it is a problem. However, why Alyx does MMA women sell out? Because it is brass, it is hard-hitting, it is believable and it is gutsy and it is badass.
Who’s sitting in the audience more than anything? Men. Who’s sitting in the audience for wrestling mainly? Men. Look at how every single woman comes out to the ring. Their hair is done, their makeup is thick and they look beautiful. Every piece of clothing is perfect, right? But in MMA, It’s authentic. It’s real. Like, right now, I have no makeup on except mascara and eyelashes. That’s what people want. People want real. Now we have been so smoked and full of BS in the last few years that people are sick of it, right? People want something that’s real.”
