Initially I only watched men’s wrestling. I gave up watching wrestling for a few years, but it was the rise of women’s wrestling that brought me back. Around 2015, wrestling fans started a social media movement to persuade the WWE to give female wrestlers a bigger stage, and the company started to listen. I made a Tumblr account dedicated to women’s wrestling and posted asking for followers of diverse backgrounds, and fans of women’s wrestling in particular. Messages started flooding in about how much women’s wrestling had inspired people, how witnessing these women’s tenacity and perseverance had helped them with their mental health, how they had learned so much from watching wrestling.
