Women in the world of pro wrestling found it difficult to get a place because the sport was associated with men for a long time. Although the situations have eased a bit now, things were way different a few decades ago during the late 90s or the early 2000s. Many female wrestlers who have been through that era all testify the same. However, it appears that male dominance in the sport wasn’t the only thing female athletes had to deal with.

Former WWE personality and American actress Caryn Mower recently appeared on the ‘Cheap Heat Productions Podcast’. There, the former wrestler talked and opened up about a backstage detail related to WWE. Not many female WWE stars had opened up about this situation until Mower.

How was WWE at Mower’s time?

When WWE introduced Caryn Mower to its audience in 2000, she was renamed ‘Muffy’. The female wrestler played Stephanie McMahon‘s kayfabe personal trainer. At that time, the treatment of women in pro wrestling wasn’t ideal. Female stars were mostly treated as a ‘treat to the eye’ rather than competitive athletes. However, this wasn’t the only problem ‘Muffy’ faced during her time in the promotion.

Mower started off by revealing the hostile environment she experienced inside the women’s locker room. She claimed that if you weren’t careful with your clothes inside the locker room, others would rip them up. Not just that, but she also recalled, “I wanted to be near the mirror and there was a couple girls that didn’t want me near the mirror. It was a battle of the b*tches for sure. It was weird of the environment, but it was battle of b*tches.”

Just like we mentioned above, women’s wrestling a couple of decades ago wasn’t an ideal time for the division. Like Mower, more such female athletes opened up about their life in WWE during the early 2000s.

Female WWE wrestler recalls her prime time in the company

Trish Stratus is one of the well-known superstars in WWE. During Stratus’ prime time, she didn’t have much support from the company in terms of highlighting women’s wrestling. This was because, at the time, WWE had told her that the audience didn’t want to look at women’s wrestling and she was told this ‘point blank’.

This wasn’t the only problem that Stratus mentioned in that interview. In fact, according to her, the female wrestlers were also subjected to endless degrading chants. WWE had to do a lot of work to give the female stars of the company a comfortable environment to work in.
