Pros and Cons: Trish Stratus' Constant Post-Retirement Appearances
It's been a minute since I've done a "Pros and Cons" story regarding the world of wrestling, and with the Elimination Chamber event looming, this is a perfect time to discuss something that's been on my mind: WWE's constant need to involve Trish Stratus in things, especially if said things are in Toronto. Now let's make one thing clear. Trish is a legend and icon in women's wrestling; a woman who started out as a fitness model before making her debut as a villainous manager. Had very little (if any) in-ring experience, yet evolved and became one of the most known names in WWE's Women's Division. Seven-time Women's Champion. That's a big deal.

Feminist Vigilantism in Action: The Inspiring Story of Gulabi Gang. Content Warning.
The pink-colored house is in the secluded town of Attara. In a humble look, there are hundreds of women visiting the house every year due to all sorts of reasons, e.g., dowry demands, domestic violence, illegal harassment of family members, etc. All the common people do not know about it. One of the largest, most powerful, and most influential feminist vigilante organizations in the world has its base here.

Reviewing the 2025 Women's Royal Rumble Match (and My Hopes for Future Events)
Amazing, isn't it? Once upon a time, the concept of a Women's Royal Rumble match sounded impossible, like a pipe dream, like a fantasy. Here it is, the first day of February 2025, and it is Year Eight of the Women's Royal Rumble Match. The whole thing started with the 2018 event; Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch were the first ever entrants, and the first winner was Asuka. We've seen a lot of wild moments since then, and some emotional surprise entrants as well. I still carry all of the heartfelt emotion from three years ago when Melina finally made her first Women's Rumble appearance in 2022.

The Symbolism of Medusa- A Deeper Look at Purity Culture and Patriarchal Norms
Despite being one of Greek mythology's most infamous monsters, Medusa's story has always been unique. As one of the fiercest predators in the genre, she might have survived the storms of time. However, the story can be interpreted through a feminist lens. Medusa was more of the prey than the predator. As a follower of the goddess Athena, Medusa made a vow to live chastely, but when Poseidon sexually assaulted her in the temple, that plan fell apart. To put it briefly, the goddess of war did not find the Greek god Poseidon's seduction of a lovely young woman in Athena's temple endearing. Another version tells a darker story in which the god of the sea pursues the innocent woman violently against her will. She rushes across Athens, desperate to get away from her conqueror.

A Look at the Final Four in the Women's Intercontinental Championship Tournament
One of the best moments in WWE in 2024 was the long overdue announcement of midcard titles for their women's division. We were introduced to the Women's United States and Intercontinental Championships, and we are a few weeks removed from the crowning of the first ever Women's United States Champion in Chelsea Green. We are also closing in on the final steps of crowning the first ever Women's Intercontinental Champion, as the tournament, which started on December 2, is now down to the Final Four.

A Look Back at WWE's Faulty Booking of Their Women's Division at WrestleMania 29
I remember the build to WrestleMania 29 like it was yesterday, but it was actually 10 years ago. Hard to believe that a decade prior, WWE had so many potential ideas for women's matches, and I mean, so many. Yet they went from a lot of options, to one announced match, to literally nothing. Granted, there are still a lot of mistakes that WWE had made regarding the women, but at least they have still come quite a few ways since this debacle 10 years ago. Enough talk. Let's get to what was planned (rumored or otherwise).

Reviewing Charlotte Flair's Return on SmackDown
I spent weeks looking forward to the final SmackDown of 2022, and the reason can be summed up in two words: John Cena. It was announced earlier this month that Cena would return on the aforementioned edition of SmackDown, and it was two weeks prior that Cena stated that he would do so as Kevin Owens' partner against Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn, which (of course) would serve as the show's main event (as well as WWE's final televised match of 2022).

Reviewing the Conclusion of the Women's Intercontinental Championship Tournament
Nearly one month to the day after WWE crowned their first-ever Women's United States Champion, we saw history made on Raw regarding the Women's Intercontinental Championship. Similar to SmackDown's new title, the road to this historic moment saw a dozen women vying to be the one who made history. The Quarterfinals were all Triple Threat Matches that took place for four straight Raws in December. The Semifinals took place on the final Raw in 2024, setting up a Final between two immensely over and popular women: Dakota Kai and Lyra Valkyria.
