5 Best Female Wrestlers In The World

As with most sports, the world of pro wrestling is mostly dominated by men. However, once in a while, a woman comes along and takes the wrestling world by a storm. I’m talking about women so captivating that they dominate not only other women in the ring, but can also often hold their own against men. It takes a really special kind of woman to make an impact in the wrestling world. Hundreds of female wrestlers, backstage interviewers and valets have tried to make their mark, but only a few have ever succeeded. This list pays tribute to 10 such female wrestlers who have played a crucial role in defining female wrestling, from the lady wrestlers of the past who paved the way to the divas of today who are reshaping the road. Here we go, its time for Greatest Female Wrestlers.

* Trish Stratus

One of the most popular and successful female wrestlers of her time, Trish Stratus helped to establish the sexy, powerful and smart diva angle WWE now uses. She started out as a manager but, once put in the ring, she quickly found her footing and proved to be a compelling worker. Stratus quickly became the best Diva, winning the Women’s Championship a record seven times.

* Lita

Supremely agile, a groundbreaker and a risk-taker, Lita was incredibly talented. She helped prove that the pretty ones can be toughest ones too. She was a trend-setter both inside and outside the ring. Seeing her in action, it’s no surprise how popular she became and still is. Her matches with Trish Stratus are amongst the best women’s matches WWE has ever produced. She is a four-time Women’s Champion and has many other accomplishments to her name.

* Sable

If one Diva defines WWE’s “Attitude Era”, it is Sable. Starting out as a valet, her popularity quickly outshined the men she managed and sent her to the top of WWE. She was amongst the women responsible for turning female wrestlers into sex symbols. She could mix it up in the ring as well and has won the Women’s Championship on one occasion.

* Chyna

In her short career, Chyna has crossed more boundaries than any wrestler can lay claim to. She was the first woman to enter the Royal Rumble, to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship and to wrestle in the King of Ring tournament. She has also held the WWE Women’s Championship for a while too and left a lasting legacy as the most dominant female wrestler.

* Mae Young

Mae Young began professional wrestling in 1939 and seventy years later, she was still bumping around with the best of wrestlers. The Hall of Famer’s unbelievable durability can be attributed to her rough upbringing during the Great Depression. With her appearance on RAW in 2010, she achieved another milestone of becoming the first grappler to attend events in nine different decades.
