WOMEN WRESTLERS ROLE

The role of women in the world of Professional Wrestling has been an interesting one over the years, ranging from a simple novelty to being used as drawing card for house shows and television ratings. While wildly popular in many parts of the country, Women's participation was forbidden in several states, including New York and California. Women have served in roles as wrestlers, managers, valets, Ring announcers, color commentators, referees, reporters and even part owners of the largest organizations. The Beautiful People continued to harass the fan favorite Knockouts, including ruining Kim's chance at winning the TNA Women's Knockout Championship, injuring her and unsuccessfully attempting to shave ODB's head too.This led to a Street Fight on June 5 between Sky and ODB, during which Mickie Knuckles(later re-named Moose) debuted as The Beautiful People's ally on Impact! At Slammiversary the new trio lost in a six-woman tag team match against Roxxi, ODB and Kim when ODB pinned Moose.Moose earned a return victory over ODB in a Bimbo Brawl on June 26.However, a few days later at an Independent Wrestling Association Mid-South event, Moose landed awkwardly breaking her leg and was released from TNA.
