Wrestlers band together and stand up against misogyny in wrestling

The results of #GiveDivasAChance movement and the ensuing Women's Revolution have been nothing short of extraordinary.

A number of talented wrestlers, male and female, stood up against these misogynistic views and made clear that these didn't reflect all wrestling fans, but just a minority who are out of touch with the current climate among wrestling fans. Performers like Jimmy Havoc, Deonna Purrazzo, Aleister Black and others, not only didn't stand for such a view, but made it clear that this type of behaviour is not welcome in the business.
