most unprofessional moment in wrestling

The Indies have a ton of instances where a male wrestler just lets a woman wrestler beat on him for minutes at a time (e.g MsChif vs. Pete Maddox) instead of fight back, when that same guy goes toe-to-toe and even beats more established guys but somehow cannot muster enough strength to reverse anything that's not an Irish whip when fighting a woman. It's really obvious they're against actually making a woman take bumps, especially if they have a prematch spiel about wanting to fight a man instead. Notable exceptions to this were Danny Daniels vs. MsChif and Ian Rotten vs. Mickie Knuckles. Those at least had a credible balance of offense on both sides. Women wrestlers will continue to have a low glass ceiling outside some Indy midcard title until they're booked to take a lot more punishment and have fewer contrived spots.

this is one of the most ridiculous things i have ever read, period. what wrestling have you been watching? i have seen numerous women beaten by men in a ring, put through tables, and generally treated like trash. especially in the indies. and do we not already know that the big muscle man can beat up the lady in most cases? do we need to see it? are you a woman beater yourself?
