Episode 50 - Women Wrestle for Redemption
Welcome to our 50th Episode! We celebrate our own accomplishment, but much more important was the giant step for the Women’s Revolution and WWE Evolution. We dissect the pay-per-view and pick our top 3 MVP’s from the roster. We also talk PWI and their top 100 Female Wrestlers, led by Ronda Rousey. Does that make sense and was there a better way to do it? We also talk NXT War Games booking, SmackDown Live and RAW.
Show Notes
In two weeks, we hit our one year anniversary
Lessons over 50 weeks:

PWI Top 100 Female Wrestlers
Ronda:
"Wow! That's absolutely incredible," she said. "I don't really know how to react to that. I really appreciate it. I don't know how much I deserve it, but wow!"
PWI:
"Ronda's success in such a short period of time is absolutely unprecedented," said Murphy. "She has become one of the biggest stars in WWE, male or female, and is setting a new standard for excellence in the women's division. When it comes to our ranking criteria of championships won, quality of opposition, technical proficiency, won-loss record, and promotional 'push,' she is unmatched. Ronda was an easy pick as number one."
