10 times female wrestlers competed against men

#3 Madusa (Alundra Blayze)

While many fans could understand why Alundra Blayze/Madusa was frustrated with her role in WWE, it was a real head-scratcher when she chose to jump ship and join WCW. After all, even though it wasn't prominently featured on television, at least the WWE had a women's division

WCW did not. While they hastily came up with one, they had to decide what to do with Madusa, a ten-year veteran and international star. She was booked into a match with Meng/Haku as a form of punishment for complaining about the lack of a women's division backstage (kayfabe,) and though she certainly didn't back down an inch the outcome was never in doubt.

Meng would quickly devastate the much smaller Madusa, which was to be expected since he regularly devastated male opponents of a much larger size. Though she was not successful in her match, many credited Madusa with a lot of courage just for getting in the ring with one of the most legitimately feared men in wrestling history.

Alundra Blayze was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2015.
