5 Things I Learned From WrestleMania 1 (1985)

2. The Women’s Title Match Was a Mess

Girls just want to have fun.

Who knew Cyndi Lauper was so popular? Lauper was certainly one of the celebrities that helped grow pro-wrestling. It was natural she would be involved in the show. However, I wish she was a part of a better match.

Women’s wrestling has come a long way since Leilani Kai versus Wendi Richter. Watching slow-paced manoeuvres with lots of timing issues is not a fun experience. You know it isn’t good when the managers, Fabulous Moolah and Cyndi Lauper, get more cheers for their interference than most of the action in the awkward match. WrestleMania women’s wrestling had a long way to go.
