Women who defined wrestling in the 20th century

#2 Alundra Blayze

Alundra Blayze

Alundra Blayze is best known for her work in Japan in the early 90s against opponents who worked arduously, and in a style that was both tougher hitting and more professional than most of the action in the US at that time.

She traveled the whole world by being part of the different promotions like WCW, WWF, and All Japan's WPW. At the age of 54, she is as fit as ever and won't find herself out of place in a wrestling ring even now. Throughout the '80s and '90s, she blazed a path for women in the wrestling industry (Pun Intended).

Like Ivory, Blayze was another woman who was way ahead of her time and did not get the respect and appreciation from the crowd that she deserved. Blayze entered into a controversy with WWF in the late 90s when she threw the women's title in the trash can live on television because of her desertion from WWE.

It took 20 years but water is under the bridge now as WWE inducted her in the Hall of Fame in 2015. Although she did not have one of the longest wrestling careers, the amount of work she did to move the wrestling forward is commendable.
